How about the silent era? From the chariot race in the 1926 version of Ben Hur to the aerial scenes in Wings, to the stunt work of Harold Lloyd, Douglas Fairbanks and Buster Keaton.

I don't know. I'd consider films like Lawrence of Arabia, Mutiny on the Bounty, and The Man Who Would Be King as adventures, but not action.

I don't think it was ever acknowledged as such, but it's definitely the same premise. Runaway Train is another good one.

I guess I'm the only one who didn't think much of Speed. It completely jettisons its premise in the third act and all I could think of while watching it was how much better it would have been set on a train, where the characters could actually have the space to move around.

Off the top of my head - Seven Samurai, Goldfinger, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Road Warrior, Aliens, The Terminator, Robocop, The Adventures of Robin Hood, Police Story, The French Connection, Bullitt, The Killer, Hard Boiled, North by Northwest.
