The steel mill finale - Robocop

Bank robbery - Heat

 

[Ace of Knaves]

El Wray tearing the hospital apart with a couple of scalpels in Planet Terror.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Car chase from the Dark Knight. Almost every set pieces from T2.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

More recently, I just watched Public Enemies and thought the shoot-out at the Little Bohemia was a great action scene.

 

[CELTICPRED]

El Wray tearing the hospital apart with a couple of scalpels in Planet Terror.

Those were butterfly knives.

You know what's a totally unknown yet supreme action scene is:

The car repair station shoot out in Army of One / Joshua Tree.

Yeah, Team Bale vs. Team Depp was epic. Especially the shot where Purvis is hanging off the side of the car and shooting the Tommy Gun one handed and the whole is being lit by the muzzle flash of the gun.

If it's in T2, then it gets my vote; future war sequence, canal chase, cyberdyne attack

The heist and shootout in Heat deserves another mention. It reminds me of that line in Anchorman about the news teams' massive fight in the street escalating quickly. But still, it was brilliant.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Those were butterfly knives.

I thought he picked up a scalpel when he picked up those rubber gloves?

Whatever, t'was a bad ass scene no matter what knives he used.

It was a great shoot out, and that scene you mention with Bale on the side of the car was cinematic gold!

 

[Doctor Jones]

The Pre Crime police chasing Anderton in the alleyway in Minority Report. That and the car factory. And I always loved when Cruise gets out of his car on the moving road.
