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.

All Request December! Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)

Okay, so Gremlins was actually requested but it was a very long wait for the flick on Netflix and I love Gremlins 2: The New Batch, so I hope this will fulfill the Gremlin yearning by those who requested it.
