Default Favorite Explosion/Action-Sequence/Demo

I'm not sure if there is another thread like this, but I thought that it would be useful/fun if people posted their favorite, most recently discovered, or what they feel is the best Explosion/Action-Sequence/Demo. It is useful to include the chapter or even exact time of the scene.

I look forward to seeing what everyone posts!

Default Taken

I just watched "Taken."

The whole movie is reference material. The gunshots are RIDICULOUS!! but I challenge everyone who has this movie at their disposal to crank up their system and play the explosion during
Chapter 13: exactly @ 49 minutes, 03 seconds!!

Well, there's plenty of films that have many explosions and action sequences.

From the top or back of my head:

Saving Private Ryan
Smokin Aces II (Just finished watching it a minute ago)
Shootem Up
Rambo
Terminator 2
Public Enemies
Full Metal Jacket

if there is a certain scene, or effect that is worth paying close attention to, it might be worth mentioning...

I say this because sometimes instead of watching movies in their entirity, I enjoy cranking-up the volume and seeing how my system handles it.

The napalm sequences in "Apocalypse Now" grabbed my attention.

Action / chase sequence - Terminator 2 truck vs dirt bike or Matrix Reloaded on the highway (you know which I mean!!).

Explosion / Demo - Bad Boys 2 mansion blast (undisputedly the best).

Michael Bay

From what I've been told he's worshiped on remote jungle islands as the demi-god of explosions. Explosions follow him around where ever he goes.
