Well, this is another good question...
Roland Emmerich (just know him by name...) has sometimes proved his abilities being a director.

John Woo... never heard that name before...

And producing movies along with Sylvester Stallone is moreover the fame. Casting a few actors for boxing event for example... training together...
all other movies were partly "conservative". Sly was always the one kicking buds and the rest, just usual and there to full fill the movie set, had no good activities.

Not quite sure yet... ^^

agreed!
Terminator, do you not watch any Asian Martial Arts films? He's even done several in the U.S. since the early 90s! Hard Target with Van Damme, was a producer for The Replacement Killers, directed Mission Impossible 2 with Tom Cruise and directed Dolph in BlackJack. Before coming here he has directed some of what is considered the best action/martial arts films in China. He frequently works with Chow Yun-Fat the actor. Watch the movie Hard Boiled, its a classic.

I think I even watched several of those asian movies.
But I never heard that name before. ^^

You must have seen Face/Off!

Easy to spot a Woo film: watch out for violence, guys shooting with a gun in each hand (preferredly shooting while jumping from something), a lot of slow motion action scenes and, his absolute specialty, a few doves flying away in slo-mo.

Godzilla is only 1 bad one. Every director has at least one stinker to their credit. I own several of Emmerich's hits: Independence Day, Universal Soldier and The Day after Tommorrow. Maybe the stories are weak, but the visual effects are stunning.

The tow only best movies of emmerich : US and Stargate, the others were bad, I don't like "movies for only visual effect". Independance Day is n american propaganda movie, The Day After Tommorow is en exagerated movie who try to make fear with ecology ...

Emmerich can do action but he lacks any grip on emotion.

Also I like Russell Mulcahy who did Silent Trigger, because his best film Highlander is one of my favourites. I also quite liked the Shadow. Russell is a great visual director but his choice of scripts is very bad, he always seems to do dodgy movies that happen to look good, like Trigger.

He;s had a small comeback with Swimming Upstream an independant Australian film that has been highly rated.
