Jackie Chan deserves at the very least an honorable mention. He directed/co-directed nearly all of his action scenes. Highlights include: Project A, Police Story, Miracles, Drunken Master 2, Who Am I?, etc... The Wachowskis and Quentin Tarantino also heavily relied on the legendary Yuen Woo-ping for many of their action sequences.

If you were to judge Michael Bay on his 90s stuff alone, you can somewhat justify him being on this list. But unfortunately, he gave us Pearl Harbor, The Island, and the shitty Transformers movies. Putting him ahead of George Miller, and not even giving Matthew Vaughn an honorable mention is a joke. That being said, you guys got number 1 right. No one can even come close to James Cameron as far as action directors go.

Martin Campbell (GoldenEye, The Mask of Zorro, and Casino Royale) 5. Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, Green Zone, and Jason Bourne) 6. Gareth Evans (The Raid: Redemption and The Raid 2 "aka: The Raid 2: Beranthal) 7. Paul Verhoeven (RoboCop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers) 8. J.J. Abrams (Mission: Impossible III, Star Trek, Super 8, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens) 9. Anthony Russo & Joe Russo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War) 10. George Miller (Mad Max, Mad Max: The Road Warrior, and Mad Max: Fury Road)

Antoine Fuqua does action movies just the way I like, hard hitting, R-rated, and best of all, with a steady hand (looking at you, Greengrass). Easily my favourite director working today.

The fact that Michael Bay ranked over George Miller and Paul Greengrass really makes me question you guys even more. And no mention of Gareth Evans. Sure he has only made 2 films. 3 if you count his segment in VHS 2, but damn no one shoots martial arts films the way he does.

Also you put Michael bay lower than george miller than man who directed the mad max movies!

My top 10? 10. Luc Besson 9. Paul Verhoeven (he hasn't really worked in the action genre in almost two decades, though) 8. Kathryn Bigelow (She's more "skirted" action than full blown committed. Scenes, but not really a full action movie after Point Break.) 7. James Cameron (Bet this surprises you? It shouldn't. He's great with action, but has gotten increasingly bad with actors, culminating in the nothing that is Avatar outside of it's action beats.) 6. John Woo (His peaks are great, but there's a reason Honest Trailers joked "never go full Woo".) 5. George Miller (Still has "it" at SEVENTY.) 4. Anthony Russo and Joe Russo (Not only were they great comedy directors on Arrested Development and Community, but they have twice proven their action chops on their MCU outings, can direct some good performances as well and all but render Greengrass' similarly toned work mostly redundant.) 3. John McTiernan. (Yes, he has some flawed work, but his peaks in both action story telling and surprising performance quality (Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman in the original Die Hard are two of the top 5 Best PERFORMANCES in the genre), more than justify a high rank.) 2. John Sturges (How this was just an honourable mention I have no idea.) And before we hit #1, here are a few honourable mentions: Tony Scott Michael Bay Paul Greengrass The Wachowskis 1. Michael Mann. (It's in the title and reflected in the results. MANN!)

Some directors you criminally missed Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass / X-Men: First Class / Kingsman: The Secret Service / Layer Cake). He could have easily made this list instead of Michael Bay. Edgar Wright. The best Action/Comedy director (Shaun of the Dead / Hot Fuzz / Scott Pilgrim vs. the World / The World's End) Guy Ritchie (Snatch / Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels / Sherlock Holmes / The Man from U.N.C.L.E.)

So let me get this straight, you included Michael Bay, who's used shitty techniques of filming in most of his action movies, and didn't include Paul Greengrass (Jason Bourne films) and Gareth Evans (The Raid films), who've easily made some of the best action films of the last 15 or 20 years?

Seriously Mojo, Michael Bay is above George Miller? That's fucked up, man. Bay can only concentrate making fetish explosions, stupid comedy slapstick, too much underage girls with their boobs and asses, and way too much focus action without a story. That's really a criminal to against the hard work by George Miller and he done four films of Mad Max and he breaks the action genre into a good level. What about Martin Campbell, Paul Greengrass, Matthew Vaughn, Gareth Evans, and Russos? This list is crap. Why would Bay should be high top against Miller?
