Action Archive Christmas Edition: Yippee Ki Yay, Santa Lover Volume 1
Posted By Action Flick Chick on December 19, 2009
Not all of these are action movies, and not all Christmas action movies are here.
Rotten Tomatoes made sure to point out that the Chick hasn’t hit Lethal Weapon yet.
But these are the Christmas-related films the Action Flick Chick has reviewed so far.
More are on their way. First we have to help fill the sleigh.

Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990) with Mogwai Science Facts Readers asked for a review of the Christmas movie Gremlins. When making gremlin-related requests, be thankful all you got instead was the non-Christmas sequel. At least this includes a parody of the first one’s childhood-scarring “Santa Claus stuck in the chimney” story. |

White Christmas (1954)vs. Black Christmas (1974) Let’s Get Ready to Jinggggllllllle!!!!!!! I used to watch White Christmas with my family every year back when I was little…you know, back before I knew better. Time to see if we will be having a White Christmas or a Black Christmas this year… |
 |
Die Hard (1990) Bruce Willis with Hair? Who Knew? Best line: Hans is talking via radio with McClane for the first time. Hans says, “Do you really think you stand a chance against us, Mr. Cowboy?” McClane answers… Source of image: Moviedrome. |

Die Hard 2: Die Harder (1988) A McClane Christmas Tradition Hey kids, what do you want to do this Christmas? We want to watch you singlehandedly kill all the terrorists that have taken over something. Pop the popcorn and bring out the sleeping bags, John McClane doesn’t disappoint. |
 |
The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) Oh, the weather outside is frightful. And so is Samantha Caine. Merry Christmas, kids! Your mom is a trained assassin and can snap a guy’s neck with one hand while baking a pie with the other. I would tell Santa to keep away from this household, or he might find a .45 at the end of that chimney. |
 |
Reindeer Games (2000) Flaming Santa! This is an odd, kinda boring movie. Actually, it is the perfect movie for the kids…if you’re ready to pee on their innocence and show them the true ways of the world. Oh yeah, and kill their sweet little ideas of Santa Claus. |
 |
Home Alone (1990) Love it but where are the kills? Don’t get me wrong, I love this movie but it only has about 15 minutes of good robber butt kicking action in the whole movie. There is not even one (spoiler alert) kill or explosion. I think they could have found a way to work one of those in. |
About The Author
What, no mention of ‘Bad Santa?’ While (technically) not an action movie, ‘Santa’ did go down in a hail of gunfire (in front of children no less).
