Hunter I have been waiting for this thread all week. t:

1. John Wick 2 - Underground catacombs shootout (Rome)
2. John Wick 2 - Hall of mirrors
3. Logan - Steel Mill fight

There have been many, many more this year in those two films alone but its been a great year in my book for action sequences all round, Dunkirk, SW:TLJ, Thor, Bladerunner 2049, Spiderman all saw some great action. Also even though not a film The Punisher finale was great as well and would be in my top 3 if it counted.

 

[The Big G]

1. Throne Room Fight-Last Jedi
2. Battle on the Bifrost-Thor Ragnarok
3. Forest Rampage-Logan

 

[Deck Rickard]

1. Throne room fight - The Last Jedi
2. Sea wall sequence - Blade Runner 2049
3. Yondu, Rocket and Groot vs. The Ravagers - Guardians of the Galaxy

 

[Kev4000]

A) Wonder Woman - No Mans Land
B) Blade Runner 2049 - Sea Battle
C) Ragnarök - Opening Sequence

 

[Silvermoth]

Definitely nominating no man's land sequence from Wonder Woman!

I would also nominate the first arrival of the soldiers onto skull island from kong: skull island

 

[Schlosser85]

The opening car chase from Baby Driver. Also the shootout and the cops chasing Baby.

The throne room fight in The Last Jedi.

The stairway fight in Atomic Blonde.

 

[Brother Jack]

Sea wall - Blade Runner 2049
Throne room - The Last Jedi
Escape from the compound - Logan
Bridge battle - Thor: Ragnarok
Police chase - Baby Driver
No Man's Land - Wonder Woman

I would say the spitfire dogfights from Dunkirk, but that's a whole third of the movie.

 

[Mandon Knight]

For me, all of Atomic Blonde wins this, top 3, top 10 whatever. This and John Wick 2, hands down, win the year.
