[SurfDUI]

The opening sequence of Beverly Hills Cop w/ the cigarettee truck.
The chase sequence through the streets of Prague in Ronin...freakin Ronin.

The shootout towards the end of Scarface (1983) was an awesome action sequence, IMO.

I'll go the classics route.

Helicopter attack/Ride of the Valkyries. Apocalypse Now

Chariot Race. Ben Hur

Building climb. Safety Last

 

[Immortalfire]

X2... Nightcrawler's White House attack

I liked every single action sequence in Die Hard.

 

[Ratcrawler]

X2... Nightcrawler's White House attack

Oh yea! lol Agreed!

Hmm.. The Matrix: Reloaded... Neo vs Many Agent Smiths despite the cgi work and known wire work moves, if you are counting realistic action. I thought it was cool.

The Dark Knight... Vehicle chase scene, where Joker is trying to kill Harvey Dent.

Casino Royale... The chase scene from the beginning I believe.

Just three to name a few.

 

[ChickenScratch]

Bad Boys 2 - Freeway chase in the Ferrari.

 

[Drizzle]

Terminator 2 - Highway chase scene

Transformers - Optimus Prime vs. Bonecrusher (as short as it was, it was still awesome)

Jurassic Park - T-Rex vs. car/T-Rex vs. Velociraptors

The Phantom Menace - Darth Maul vs. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - Battle for Helms Deep

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - Battle of Gondor

Raiders of the Lost Ark - Opening temple scene

 

[MiniBond]

The Rock SF chase between the Hummer and the Ferrari....excellent !

 

[AgentRed]

Aliens - APC escape, end fight

 

[MadVillainy]

Wanted- The rat explosion final shootout, where Wesley wreck everything in his way.

Say what you want about that movie, but that scene was so nice

 

[DorkyFresh]

Narada vs USS Kelvin - Star Trek 09
Space Jump/Drill Platform fight scene - Star Trek 09

 

[returntovoid]

Hulk Vs. Abomination in TIH.

 

[redhawk23]

i nominate all "action" scenes from children of men.

Smoking Aces, this sh** got way past words.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

The first attack in Aliens. The tension and build up, then all of a sudden they start coming out of the walls and floors. Amazing sequence. And the part where the Aliens get inside the complex and they have to escape through the duct system. That is still one of the greatest action films ever IMO.

Nightcrawlers attack on the White House was just brilliant. It blended practical and SFX perfectly and I love teleporting **** anyway

The shoot-out in Heat...nuff said.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Narada vs USS Kelvin - Star Trek 09
Space Jump/Drill Platform fight scene - Star Trek 09

I thought that that scene was utterly phenomenal.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

i nominate all "action" scenes from children of men.

Smoking Aces, this sh** got way past words.

I love that film, the scene where they run into that building and it's under attack and they walk out...it's just a truly brilliant scene IMO.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Where are the true classics in this thread?


The shootouts in The Wild Bunch

 

[Immortalfire]

Star Trek: First Contact...fighting the Borg on the Enterprise deflector dish

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade...tank scene in the desert

The Two Towers...battle at Helm's Deep

Iron Man...whooping terrorist ass!

X2...Wolverine taking down the renegade soldiers

 

[Wiseman]

How bout 45 of the last 50 minutes of Smokin' Aces, that was pretty much a huge action scene

 

[Carmine Falcone]

It may sound like a cliche, but the car chase from The French Connection is the best car chase ever.

 

[bullets]
