While viewers will see eight incredible titles per day, each of these actors will have their very own time in the limelight one day during prime time. For example, on Friday 18 May Sylvester Stallone will strut his stuff in Get Carter, Cobra and Over The Top.

Saturday, 19 May then belongs to Jason Statham with The Transporter, The Mechanic Resurrection and Parker and on Sunday, 20 May, Jet Li moves into action with The One, Romeo Must Die, and Dragon Fight. 

Be sure to tune in when Bruce Willis takes on the world in every single instalment of the Die Hard franchise on Saturday 25 May.

Then, don’t miss Dolph Lundgren’s fighting spirit on Saturday, 26 May in Masters Of The Universe, Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning and Skin Trade. Catch all the action when Jean-Claude Van Damme, the Muscles of Brussels, shows off his brawn on Saturday, 2 June in Streetfighter, Shepherd, and The Sudden Death.
