Seems to have a thing for Mel Gibson

He's Australian. It's like Germans and Hasselhoff.

Pretty pedestrian list, but I can't say I don't enjoy all of them.

Lots of action/comedies. He seems like a pretty cool guy :D

Mad Max 2 is my favorite of the list.

Great picks!!! I like the notion of how he mentions these movies without even having to mention any of the actors starring in them for the exception of Eddie Murphy. The fact that Mel Gibson is in 3 out of the 5 movies he likes was not even a factor to consider, to me is professional.

Ha! Awesome list! This must be the best one I've seen so far. I love Worthington's work. He was pretty much the only thing that worked about Terminator Salvation. In my opinion, he is the only true action star of his younger generation. He truly has the potential to reach Bruce Willis, Eastwood, etc. status. Also, Avatar also looks interesting and I'll be sure to check it out at an IMAX.

lol @ saying this dude would achieve what eastwood had achieved... eastwood is a living legend, one of the most prolific actors and directors of our living times, Terminator Salvation was god awful and this guy didn't save the picture

Not a bad list. I said it before but i'll say it again, I think Sam Worthington would make a great SUPERMAN if they reboot the whole thing from scratch again.
He looks like the Jim Lee comics version, and as theyre promoting Worthington for a new big star, how much bigger than the man of steel can ya get?

I think I now know why Worthington was so good in Terminator: Salvation. He seems to have studied the action movie hero and mastered it. Had he not been in Avatar I wouldn't have seen it, but now I'll make it a day one viewing.

In ways, there is preference, and in other ways, there is a lack of it. I only see action films on here, most of them which I have heard it. At least the guy knows his stuff when it comes to solid, gold action.

To begin with Mad Max didn't come before Road Warrior. It's the other way around which makes you the dummy of the day. In order:
Road Warrior
Mad Max
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome

No, you are the dummy of the day.
Mad Max was made in 1979, the Road Warrior in 1981 and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in 1984. If you discount Summer City, Mad Max was Mel's first movie hence it came before the Road Warrior. Before you call someone a dummy please look up your facts.

Mel Gibson is an Aussie through his paternal grandmother and his family moved there when he was young. Mel Gibson is one of the finest actors/directors that has become a great role model for younger actors and Sam Worthington is proof of that. Sam Worthington saw what he wanted to become and used the tools available to him, which luckily were videos and DVDs, to learn from the best, which is what any intelligent person wanting to better themselves does to improve their career.

Road Warrior over the original, Mad Max? Nope...

Corey B. on 12-7-2009 05:04 PM

i think he's gonna be the next big action star and Beverly Hills Cop is the essential action comedy in my opinion.

alex g. on 12-7-2009 06:42 PM

Fun list! Worthington is without a doubt on his way to being a big time action star! cant wait to see him in Avatar. and anything else he does!

The Reaper on 12-7-2009 07:00 PM

Awesome movies. I love them all. He seems like a cool dude.

kingcaesar on 12-7-2009 07:14 PM

a personal list, at least he's being honest.

Bigbrother on 12-7-2009 07:30 PM

At least he didn't go with Crocodile Dundee :). I know it's sacrilage, but Beyond Thunderdome is my favorite Mad Max. Two Men Enter, One Man Leaves!!!!Welcome to Thunderdome!!!
