Your Favorite Action Sequence/Half Hour - Blu-ray Forum

Buddy Christ · 02-16-2010, 12:03 AM

So I wanted to kill some time before I put in some MW2. I did not want to watch a whole movie so I popped in

Live Free or Die Hard.

Let me tell you, the first 17 minutes is pretty damn action PACKED!!Righ up until McCLiane says "See it? I did it!"

Might be an interesting topic but....

What are some great action sequence or sequences?

Another that comes to mind is with out a doubt the opening of Saving Private Ryan

edit: If this has been done before kick my shins I'm sorry I was to"lazy" to do the research

Well there already is a thread about your favorite fight scenes, but seeing that I will get jumped for mentioning that, I will simply mention some great sequences:

Battles of 300
Battles of Braveheart
The Bourne Trilogy has some pretty intense fights.

Secretagentnumber6 · 02-16-2010, 12:21 AM

Yeah I have a few:

The Matrix : Lobby Shootout

Wanted: Viper/ Delivery Truck Chase

Transformers: Optimus v. Bonecrusher

Watchemen : The Whole Opening Sequence with Comedian's death

District 9 : Mech Scene/ending

Freekman · 02-16-2010, 12:28 AM

Gladiator - Maximus vs. Commodus
Tropic Thunder - "Lead Farmer" shootout

Saving Private Ryan

Hard Boiled (the entire third act in the hospital)

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (say what you will about the movie, the breathless pace of the last half hour is Spielberg at the top of his game)

The last 30 mins. of The Last of the Mohicans

Simply breathtaking

fletchlives · 02-16-2010, 01:02 AM

The truck chase in Raiders of the Lost Ark and the last twenty minutes of A Better Tomorrow 2 for me.

Drexyl666 · 02-16-2010, 01:05 AM

Saving Private Ryan
Blade( opening club scene)
Road Warrior( final chase)
Face/Off (take your pick)
Desperado (El at the bar)
Aliens ( first marine/alien encounter)
T2 (pick one)
Equilibrium (finale)
The Killer (a few to choose from)
True Romance (final shootout)
The Professional (opening and the finale)

.....too many to list but those sprung to mind.

Say what you want, but the big battle scene in the Two Towers has to be one of my favorite.

surfdude12 · 02-16-2010, 01:10 AM

Empire Strikes Back imperial walkers battle

acosmichippo · 02-16-2010, 01:16 AM

The car chase about 2/3 through Ronin. One of my favorite car chases.

And of course the IMAX scenes in Dark Knight.

And the Vietnam scenes in Forrest Gump culminating in Bubba's death are good too.

Duffy12 · 02-16-2010, 01:19 AM

The escape from Cyberdyne lab in T2.

Possibly Cameron's best chase scene.

Saving Private Ryan

Lepidopterous · 02-16-2010, 02:34 AM

I would say the battle of Helm's Deep in The Two Towers and the D-Day intro of Saving Private Ryan are the two most intense and magnificent action sequences ever put together.

fupduk2 · 02-16-2010, 02:44 AM

Casino Royale where Bond is chasing monkey boy through the construction site is pretty good.

Sabotage · 02-16-2010, 02:52 AM

Freddy vs. Jason: The fight sequence between Freddy and Jason after Freddy had been pulled out of the dream.
