Haiku gives respect
Action films elevated
Ten classic movies
RoboCop
Resurrected man
Visions of a life now gone
The name is Murphy
Terminator
Tech-noir nightmare art
Hell arrives from the future
Harlan Ellison
Predator
Invisible beast
Screaming souls in the jungle
Ugly mother-fu…
Out for Justice
Seagal talks Brooklish
Anybody seen Richie?
Excess violence
Aliens
Xenomorph plague
Can’t trust the company
Game over, man! Game over!
Highlander
Can be only one
Decapitation ensues
Who wrote this bullshit?
Road House
Double-Deuce Saloon
Best bouncer in the business
Giggle at the corpse
Conan the Barbarian (1982!!!)
Nietzsche quote to start
Fire and wind come from the sky
The riddle of steel
Die Hard
Big Corporation
Yippie-ki-yay, mother-fu…
Euro-terrorist
Point Break
Can’t trust the surfies,
Dead presidents stealing big
Extreme sports with guns

!! Aliens and RoboCop are my fave movies and coincidently, my favorite of your haikus.
Glad you like them! Great blog by the way – tackling some incredibly sensitive areas in a thoughtful and insightful way.
Thanks man, you have an effortless and engaging writing style and I’m loving the commentary.
So cool, really connected with the Aliens one.
Thanks – glad you enjoyed them!
Having been recently revisited “Aliens,” when I read your last line for that haiku, I read it in Bill Paxton’s voice. lol
Hehehe. Something about that line sticks in your head forever…
Have watched only two
Action films not my cuppa
But I like haiku
The next time around
Perhaps another genre
Science fiction films?
Written like a modern day Kobayashi Issa.
Hahaha. A rainy day…
