Kill Bill: Vol. 1 tops Collider’s list of the 10 fastest-paced action movies

Collider published a ranking on Jan. 29, 2026, listing the 10 fastest-paced action movies of all time in an article by Jeremy; Kill Bill: Vol. 1 is named the No. 1 fastest-paced film. Collider says Kill Bill: Vol. 1 benefits from being almost all style and action, with much of the character and substance reserved for Vol.

2, allowing Vol. 1 to feel relentless and relentlessly entertaining. The site places The Raid at No. 2 for its nonstop, level-by-level combat in a police operation gone wrong, and The Dark Knight at No. 3 for its grounded, suspenseful pace. Mad Max: Fury Road ranks No. 4 and is described as feeling like one continuous chase, while Godzilla: Final Wars is No.

5 for an almost overwhelming number of monster set pieces. At No. 6 Collider slots The Fugitive, praised for its accused-man-on-the-run momentum, and No. 7 is Mission: Impossible – Fallout, called the best-paced entry in that franchise with high-stakes action. The list emphasizes films that keep viewers on edge.

Rounding out the lower spots are John Woo’s Hard Boiled at No. 8, noted for its extended, expertly filmed action sequences; Face/Off at No. 9, which the article says stays fast by embracing its bonkers premise; and James Cameron’s Terminator 2 at No. 10, described as a 137-minute action-packed sequel.
