Great ACTION SCENES from Not-So-Great Movies

[Jordacar]

I'm sure there's a thread on here somewhere about great scenes in bad movies. This thread is all about action scenes from bad-to-mediocre films, car chases, fight scenes and the like.

And not just the scene itself, but what makes it awesome.

Go.

 

[dude stannis]

FPS scene in Doom..

 

[Warhammer]

 

[Jordacar]

The freeway chase in The Fast and the Furious. Instead of some predictable bs like two cars with the good guy and the bad guy chasing each other, everything is turned upsidedown. The good guys are really the bad guys, the truck driver who's defending himself is the monster, everything is crazy as s***. I had no idea what was going to happen.

@ Warhammer. Ha Ha Ha.
Girl: keep an eye out for ya stingray.
Guy: duuuuuuh, yeah, seeee yaaa, duuuuuh.

Smith vs. Neo in Matrix Revolutions
Ice-Man vs. Pyro in X-3
Spider-Man vs. Sandman in Spider-Man 3

I have no idea what the hell that's from, but it was AMAZING. I don't even want to see the whole movie, because it might cheapen the awesomeism.

 

[xwolverine2]

that library gun-fight from ultraviolet


the intro action scene in the first tomb raider

 

[Dark Victory]

The bridge scene in Bad Boys 2.

 

[Symbiotic]

One that immeadiately comes to mind is the chase between the prototype race cars in Driven.

 

[Ender Durden]

The one scene that immediately came to mind was the crane chase scene in Terminator 3.

Yea the movie sucked, but AMAZING chase scene its one of my all time favorites.

 

[Max J Power]

A bunch of scenes from Hard Target. John Woo's a great action director, but he can't make Van-Damme an actor.

 

[Nivek]

Oh Cynthia Rothrock and her 90's direct to video kickboxing/martial art action films...

In Bad Boys 2, there's the bit in the last act with the remote-control toy RV loaded with C-4 that the good guys use to take out the guards.

Let me see if I can recreate this scene. The audience (re: I) doesn't even know what it is or what it's for; the commando/survaillence guy has the joystick and he's trying not to get spotted, then he gets it to the guards at the bad guy's place, playing their little football game in the back yard. They see it doing donuts, they gather around wondering what the hell it is. (Did I mention I'm in the second row from the front? No? Well, keep that in mind.)
The little RV stops, the commando goes, "Sorry," and presses a button and BOOM!!!!!! Bodies flying everywhere, I'm screaming "O MY GOD!!! O MY GOD!!!!!!" I can't remember half of what happened in that movie, but one never forgets screaming out loud in the theater.

I knew that Michael Bay had an unsurpassed talent for blowing s*** up, but jeez!

I think Bad Boys 2 is a good film .

hmmm... its hard for me to pick, since generally if a movie has good action i think its a good movie.

oh oh, I got it. the last 10-15 minutes of Equilibrium. great, stylish action. but my god, everything up to it was boring as ****.
