I didn't really like any of those...

 

[WeaponXProject]

I like Quantum's scene where Bond fought that guy at the beginning of the movie and they fell through the window can't remember the guys name though...

TDK's car chase and Batpod scene with the (S)laughter semi.

Iron Man going back to fight against the weapons he put in the middle east.

Hulk vs. Blonski and the helicopter in that open field.

Party Poop

j/k ... How about the Crossfire sequence from "Cloverfield" ... Or the Bradstreet Hotel shootout in "War Zone" ...???

 

[byte19]

[Gilpesh]

Seriously.

Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. vs The Golden Army

 

[DorkyFresh]

Jet Li vs Jackie Chan - Forbidden Kingdom

the Furious 5 vs Tai Lung - Kung Fu Panda

Hellboy vs Prince Nuada - Hellboy 2

the Casa Cristo 5000 - Speed Racer

NY civilians vs parasites - Cloverfield

 

[WeaponXProject]

Seriously.

Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. vs The Golden Army

Hellboy vs. the giant squid while juggling the baby and definitely him vs. Prince Nuada like Dorky said should be on this.

Hey was Nuada the same actor who was in Blade 2 that Blade was tracking down? Sounds and looks like him even with the make up and costumes.

Elemental Forest God.

Si.

 

[Sawyer]

Fight in Red's House - Pineapple Express

Winner!!!

 

[CFE]

"Batman apprehending Lau in Hong Kong." - TDK

But out of all the options mentioned, nothing tops Harvey Dent's transfer to County/The Bat-Pod/Semi Truck Flip...

That was hands down the best action sequence of 2008...all of it. From the convoy heading out to Gordon revealing himself and apprehending the Joker...that's the one!

there were a lot of great action scenes this year, but i agree....this one takes the cake. the fact that it was shot with IMAX cameras definitely helped.

 

[The Joker]

The Tumbler/Batpod vs The Joker's semi - TDK

This is by far the best.

 

[WeaponXProject]

Elemental Forest God.



Si.

Sorry I didn't remember its name. Sweet scene though.

Luke Goss, huh?...that guy is flat out amazing.

 

[Gilpesh]

Yup.

Him doing commentary was gold. And his escalade commercial was pretty good.

 

[Symbiotic]

The Tumbler/Batpod vs. The Semi Of Slaughter

Prewitt Building Confrontation

Hulk vs. Abomination

 

[WeaponXProject]

Him doing commentary was gold. And his escalade commercial was pretty good.

That's him in the Hybrid Escalade comericial. I knew he looked familiar.


Also there were a few good action scenes in Tropic Thunder at the beginning that were hilarious.

 

[SuBe]

Batpod vs the Semi. I have to agree.

First time you see Stark in the Iron Man Suit escaping the cave. I loved it.

I would have to say the Escape Sequence in Rambo.

 

[hitmanyr2k]

Jet Li vs Jackie Chan - Forbidden Kingdom

That scene has my vote. Two martial arts icons going at it. Even though both are older than dirt they still move better than guys half their age lol.

 

[The Chris]

Police Transport Chase- The Dark Knight (the damn truck flipped end over end man)

Jungle Chase- Indy 4

Campus showdown- The Incredible Hulk
