Bingo.

It is available as an import, as for a US release...no.

There's a lot to mention, but the absolute best is and always will be the truck chase in Raiders of the Lost Ark. You will never find a more perfect action sequence than that. The choreography, editing, stunts, and music are all flawless.

-Truck chase in Raiders of the Lost Ark
-Car chase through the street/forest in Castle of Cagliostro

Face/Off - airport scene in the beginning, penthouse shootout and the church/boat scene at the end

The Rock, True Lies and Broken Arrow had a ton

Desperado - bar shootout and the trio shootout in the streets

The Last Samurai - night time ninja battle

Took until post #8 for a Dark Knight reference? There is hope for this forum yet!

Really liked watching the Comedian get his ass beat in Watchmen.

But I'll take the Bourne hand to hand fight scenes for the win...

I would've thought you would've gone for the battle of Helm's Deep, arguably the best action scene in LoTR.

Rambo is good but one better is in First Blood. The chase by the police into the mountains, Rambo cuts them down one by one till none are left.

The best action scene in Watchmen is the prison fight where they "spring" Rorschach and he whales on everybody, especially when he goes to the bathroom.

Transformers - fight at the end in the city with all the Transformers.

Nah the best action scene in either Transformers movie would be the fight between Barricade and Bumblebee that scared the crap out of the humans.

Wow...exactly what I was going to say...

my fav. Jackie Chan fight sequence would have to be from Legend of the Drunken Master (Afternoon outdoor fight sequence)

The best Jackie Chan fight scene is the massage parlor with Chris Tucker where they beat everyone up and then a fresh, bigger gang of thugs arrives.

Ex Accountant · 08-19-2009, 06:04 AM

My favorites have arguably already been listed, so here's an honorable mention: The T-Rex scene in Peter Jackson's King Kong. Great Blu Demo! Also, how about this fight scene from They Live?

This certainly deserves to mentioned alongside the best of the best. I remember being completely awestruck when I first saw the film in theaters. I could tell there was practically no CGI aside from wire-removal and that knocked my socks off as it just felt like it'd been awhile since I'd seen some serious old school stunts like that.

No, it's not. Not by a longshot. His best fight is the one already mentioned from Drunken Master 2. It lasts something like 18 minutes and is undeniably incredible. Another good one would be in Gorgeous. There's a rooftop fight that took my breath away. Incredible stuff.

Kryptonic · 08-19-2009, 09:44 AM

Some of my favorites:

True Lies - Harrier jet finale. I need this on BD. Now.

War of the Worlds - Any of the tripod attacks, but specifically the first one. The buildup to the reveal is very suspenseful and the execution of the massacre is handled perfectly.

They Live - Roddy Piper vs. Keith David. Nuff' said.

Superman Returns - Shuttle/airliner rescue. Wonderfully staged classic adventure sequence with a steady buildup and excellent followthrough.

Superman II - Superman vs Zod and company. It's like a comic book come to life. This was the best thing ever as a kid.

Minority Report - "Everybody runs."

The Lost World - Yes, the movie isn't that great, but I've always been fond of the Raptor attack at the InGen compound. The choreography and editing is flawless.

Return of the King - The attack of the Mumakil. Wow. That was so awesome on the big screen.

Temple of Doom - The fight on the conveyor belt and the ensuing minecar chase.

Last Crusade - Indy vs. the tank. Best part of the film overall and classic Indy action.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - I never grow tired of watching the jungle chase. Infectious, it is.

Goldeneye - Bond and Treveleyn's fight inside the dish. Best fight in the series alongside From Russia with Love.

Licence to Kill - The tanker chase at the end is a doozy. Great stunts and pyrotechics work.

The World is Not Enough - Opening boat chase on the Thames. Best opening of the series.

Hulk - Hulk vs. the army in the desert. It's like the Hulk rollercoaster ride.

Matrix Reloaded - Pretty much every action sequence is wonderful, but I prefer the Chateau fight. I love the usage of weapons and the style of combat.

Road Warrior - The final tanker chase is surely one of the absolute best.

X2 - Attack on the mansion. Finally seeing Wolverine go berserk was quite an experience.

First Blood - Rambo taking over the town with his M-60 at the end.
