Best Action Sequence Ever

[badboybrian]

Whats your choice?

Right now, I'm watching John Woo's Hard Boiled featuring a young Chow Yun-Fat. I'd have to say the hospital scene in the end is pretty fuckin badass.

 

[Stark]

Hmm.

Probably the great truck escape in The Road Warrior.

 

[michael]

the car chase from bullitt.

 

[alasdairm]

good thread.

i love the sequence in 'the fifth element' where they're escaping from fhloston: the diva concert; leeloo fighting the mangalores; the battle in the lobby; etc.

according to the imdb trivia for the movie, the explosion in the fhloston main hall was the largest indoor explosion ever filmed.

I liked the subway/car chase in the French Connection.

 

[j22]

Most of the scenes out of Terminator 2.

 

[Dittohead]

Most of the scenes out of Terminator 2.

 

[Mazey]

yeah, French Connection is tops .%)

 

[*=Regulator=*]

My vote goes to the highway scene from Matrix: Reloaded

bad. ass.

 

[DemonsFall]

I second the Fifth Element. The escape from Fhloston as well as the car chase towards the beginning were both excellent.

 

[Giovi9]

All choices were very good mentions but I love the first few scenes of Swordfish when that girl with the ball baring bomb blows up & they show the 360 frame by frame shot of the explosion. Genuis!

 

[L2R]

off the top of my head.....

The helicopter rescue in Matrix.

Neo strapping himself to a crashing helicopter is chilling!

 

[The Mexican]

most of the action sequences in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon blew me away.
the car chase in Ronin was great too.

i like the crouching tiger..., kill bill and terminator 2 choices so far. there are also some very memorable moments in fight club and blade runner, but i'm yet to come up with a definite. i hope to get back to this.

 

[Raving Loony]

The final battle in John Woo's The Killer.

 

[Maui2k]

d-day, storming the beach in the first 15 minutes of saving private ryan.

 

[L2R]

Yeah I agree Crouching Tiger was amazingly solid.

 

[Cow]

That part in Black Hawk Down where those two Special Ops guys go to save that helicopter pilot and try to hold down that mob at the crash site.. probably not the best, but it is memorable.
