The best Action Sequence of the year 2010

[Hunter Rider]

I haven't seen, Tron. BTW the Kick-Ass votes are going to be split, so I'd add them together to show its support.

Only one scene from Kick Ass should've been put on the poll. Now the two scenes have to split the Kick Ass votes giving Inception the easy win.

The two Kick-Ass sequences are to be judged on their own merits, this is supposed to a a vote for a sequence not a movie. Nomination-wise they were both in the top 5 so they had to be on the poll.

I would have voted the snowy mountain fortress from Inception if it was nominated.

That would have gotten my vote as well but alas it didn't get enough noms to make the poll, so I voted for the hallway fight.

Was going to go for the warehouse scene in Kick-Ass but cant really without having seen Tron, so will vote next week when I see that.

Inception hallway scene. Watching it... I can't even describe the feelings it gave me - and only AFTER did I find out that they actually SPUN the friggin set!!! It was original and will be remembered in cinema history for generations - which is odd because Nolan and Pfister were never very good at action scenes. Tron: Legacy's lightcycle scene is an INCREDIBLY close second - an amazing update to the 30 year old high-intensity chase scene.

Inception wins the vote hands down but I really liked the opening helicopter sequence from A-Team.

Adios Motherfu--

 

[TheFuture]

I would have gone Inception but the trailer basically prepares you for the scene. It was stunning but you fully know it was coming.

For me it's Hit Girl saving Kick Ass. The scene is vicious, Kick Ass and Big Daddy get an absolute pummeling. You honestly don't see a way out until Hit Girl explodes onto the scene. It was absolutely pulsating stuff.

After seeing all these flims, my vote has to go to "Final Assult" The Expendables.

That was, the most intense, over the top, loud action sequence of the year. Gun battles, hand to hand fights, and explosions after explosions! Yeah, that one has to get my vote. That was a true old fashioned action sequence.

 

[That-Guy]

Yeah, I finally saw The Expendables the other day and the final assault is truly some epic carnage. So much ridiculous violence... it made up for the weak spots in the film, and there were a LOT of those. Not that it mattered; it's not like anyone walked into that film expecting to be wowed by the acting or the story.

However, the final assault did lose a few points for me by the unimaginitive confrontation with Eric Roberts' character. I was kind of suprised by how conventional and average that scene was, after all that came before it. I expected to see something insane, like seeing him get ripped in half by helicopter blades or something.

First, i don't think the hallway fight in Inception was original. It has Matrix written all over it. Yes, it was cool, but they gave it away in all the previews and tv spots before the film came out, and secondly, the scene would be pretty 'meh' if it wasn't for Zimmer's awesome score in the background along with Yusef's flipping van sequence accompanying it.

Cannot agree with that.

The Inception hallway scene was nothing new or original, it was just a fight sequence that was reminiscent to Fred Astaire dancing on the ceiling in Royal Wedding.

It still looked good and did show that Nolan of doing better action scenes though, he just needs to incorporate them into his Batman movies.

When in The Matrix was there a scene like the hallway fight? There were action moments with stunning choreography, but there was never any scene in which gravity itself was turned haywire. If anything the scene in Inception is similar to sequences in Nightmare on Elm Street and 2001.

Kick-ass.

but, I would also like to give a shout out to the destroying of the locket scene from HP7, and no, I am not being biased HP fan. But the way it just kicked harry and ron off their feet, and the aftermath...awesomeness....along with the battle over little whinging

 

[Iron_Stark]

How the hell is the hallway sequence in Inception beating out the Expendables??

Inception had some pretty good action sequences, but come the f- on, none of that came close to sniffing the badassery that was the Expendables.

 

[Sentinel X]

Tron Legacy lightcycle battle is the winner for me but Inception hallway fight is VERY close. All the other nominations are nowhere close to those two. Don't get me wrong, Hit girl killing all those thugs was the very definition of badass but the scene itself wasn't that great because of the action...it was great because it was shocking to see a little girl be such a brutal killing machine but thats just my opinion

He was referring to the lack of gravity shifting sequence in The Matrix.

Inception

Wasn't the action in the Matrix movies gravity shifting enough?

For an answer to that you should ask Happy Jack. He's the one who made the statement. I was just trying to clarify that he wasn't saying that there had never been gravity going haywire in anything before.

aw voting is closed??

if i could vote, i'd vote for Hit Girl's attack scene for two reasons. the first is because up until that scene, i wasn't really into the movie. i was following the movie and i thought it was cool, but it never GRABBED me until that scene. that scene changed the WHOLE movie for me. also, what i look for in an action sequence might not be how technically well it's made, but how much it gets my adrenaline pumping. so while Inception's hallway sequence was 'cool' and made me go "ooooooo" it didn't make me go "F**K YEAH!!!" like Hit Girl did. Hit Girl's hallway scene was more raw, visceral, and kick ass (pun intended).
