Depends on the action movie. If it's something like Rambo or Terminator - it's made for shooting. Just like Machete. But if we talk about Marvel Movies - oh hell they are just getting better with each sequel! ^^ EDIT: Seems you forgot this is a MODERN HORROR FILM thread
Then there's this bad boy... The little rule about sequels is that the first one was so good THEY HAD TO MAKE ANOTHER, if the second was so good (not as good as first one maybe but still), THEY MAKE ANOTHER ONE, then they keep doing it until the last one utterly sucks or if they're lucky and are just plain done with the series...
