From John Wick to Kill Bill: 6 Blood-Soaked Action Films to Watch Before Tiger Shroff’s Baaghi 4

If you’re a fan of relentless action, stylised violence, and emotionally driven warriors on a mission, then Sajid Nadiadwala’s Baaghi 4 is about to deliver your next adrenaline fix. As Tiger Shroff returns as the feral and bloodied Ronny, fans are bracing themselves for what’s being described as the franchise’s darkest, most brutal chapter yet.

And while Bollywood has had its share of gory thrillers, Baaghi 4 belongs in the league of international action spectacles, where every blow lands hard and every frame is drenched in drama, vengeance, and blood.

Tiger Shroff’s Ronny returns bloodied, brutal, and burning with rage. With international fight choreographers (Steven Ho, Craig Macrae, Allan Amin) behind the action design, Baaghi 4 is not just a film, it’s a war cry.

Ahead of its global theatrical release, here are six blood-soaked action films from around the world that set the tone for what to expect from Baaghi 4:

John Wick Series (USA)

Keanu Reeves redefined modern action with his portrayal of a grieving assassin on a brutal killing spree. The franchise’s choreographed combat and emotional undercurrent make it a perfect reference point for Baaghi 4, where Ronny too is fighting personal demons on a global stage.

The Night Comes for Us (Indonesia)

Gritty, gory, and unflinchingly violent, this Netflix cult favourite set a new bar for Southeast Asian action cinema. Like Baaghi 4, it combines high-stakes emotion with martial-arts mayhem, featuring fight scenes that feel more like war zones.

Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 (USA)

Quentin Tarantino’s iconic duology about The Bride’s revenge journey is a stylized ballet of blood. As Harnaaz Sandhu makes her fiery debut in Baaghi 4, there are hints of a similar “woman-on-a-mission” energy that’s equally unapologetic and fierce.

The Man from Nowhere (South Korea)

A quiet pawnshop keeper hides a lethal past and unleashes hell to rescue a child. This Korean gem mirrors the kind of emotional violence and moral rage that fuels Tiger’s character in Baaghi 4.

The Raid: Redemption (Indonesia)

Famous for its raw brutality and claustrophobic fight choreography, The Raid is a masterclass in how minimal dialogue and maximum combat can build suspense. Baaghi 4 similarly promises tight, close-range action with an international flair.

Raging Fire (Hong Kong/China)

Starring Donnie Yen, this explosive cop drama mixes personal vendettas with large-scale destruction—echoing the global, high-stakes warfare that forms the backbone of Baaghi 4’s storyline.

Whether you’re an action junkie or a die-hard Baaghi fan, these cinematic bloodbaths will get you primed and ready. Because come September 5th, Baaghi 4 is going to paint the screen red.

With story and screenplay penned by Sajid Nadiadwala, and helmed by director A. Harsha, the film also stars Miss Universe 2021 Harnaaz Sandhu in a role that’s anything but conventional, Sonam Bajwa, who steps into the Baaghi universe post-Housefull 5 and Sanjay Dutt who delivers a spine-chilling performance as a deranged antagonist—menacing, unfiltered, and terrifyingly unpredictable.

Baaghi 4 releases globally in cinemas on 5th September 2025 through Marudhar Films.
