The greatest action scene in movie history.
 

What is it.

I was thinking of The Matrix Reloaded, Neo vs a shitload of Smiths when I posted this.

Sword fight in The Princess Bride by a mile.

No CG and no stunt men. Eat a dick D-Mac.

Destor, we will fight to the death. No. To the PAIN.

:love:

Action scene or fight scene?

action

fight scene is basically action

Carebears.

That scene from Matrix: Reloaded, with neo taking on the smiths gets a bit boring after the first 3-4 minutes.

I assume somebody already posted that Tony Jaa scene

The Tony Jaa one is pretty sweet, but I don't like how he unevenly distributes his action. Like some guys get kicked and get something broken and get thrown off of something, and some guys just get thrown down and somehow don't get back up.

My choice is the entirety of the movie Broken Arrow.

Raiders of the Lost Ark. From when Indy and Marion get locked in the tomb of snakes..up through the chase scene is the greatest action sequence in movie history.

It starts with a horror/gross out sequence and the action of them escaping, then the flying wing and fist fight with the nazi hoss, then them running from an explosion and into a chase with indy fighting nazis jumping from truck to truck and hanging from the trucks.
Amazingly done, great directing and editing. Naturally it's got great sound, effects, stuntwork, music and everything else, and most importantly it serves a purpose. It advances the plot and has to do with them acquiring the ark.

A lot of people don't appreciate the movie, but the Trex fight in King Kong (2005).

That fight scene was fuckin brilliant

Tony Jaa Vs Capoeira dude is better.

Off the top of my head, might have to go with the final showdown from Big Trouble In Little China. Like everything from when they disrupt Lo Pan's wedding on.

That Matrix scene is bunk. I'd say the motorcycle highway chase is better. The fight you can blatantly tell it's cgi part way through the scene and becomes more clearer as it progresses plus he just flies away at the end.

Hmm never heard of that movie. Might have to check it out.

Yeah its a hidden gem. Was the first Christian Bale movie I've seen and made me a big fan of his. I hope they make a sequel or something to it as I really like the idea and story.

From the first Matrix movie...

I'm not the only one who knows The Protector :love:

Insert that whole movie here. Non stop kicking ass.

Protector = :love::drool::yes::y:

Yeah, for how shitty they were, the Matrix Sequels had some pimp action scenes.

As gay as it sounds, I like the Highway scene in Bad Boys 2. Those movies are my secret love.

After Hulk I would rate the fight scene during the middle of the film as one of my top favorites right now.

not from a movie but this is greatness

Anything from Suburban Commando

Single best fight scene i've ever seen in a movie:

Jackie Chan vs. Benny "The Jet" Urquidez Meals On Wheels 1984

:shifty:

bah, wheres the green ranger?! :mad:

Fuckin' A, totally forgot about this one. Amazing scene.

Ya, i've seen just about every Chan movie made (since he's my favorite actor), but drunken master 2 will always be my favorite what with the amazing fight scenes, story, humor and supporting roles by Lung Ti and Anita Mui (R.I.P)

Ken Lo used to be Jackie's bodyguard. Awesome kick boxer.

As much as I love those old school fighting scenes I'm more into the gritty, hard hitting fighting nowadays. A good example is what Donnie Yen has been doing recently with incorporating Brazilian Jujitsu and other MMA type stuff into his films.

Movie is called Flash Point. The other guy is Collin Chou who played Seraph in Matrix 2.

some old school chan one's are pretty hard hitting too, Dragons Forever is an easy example of this. I definetly wanna see more of Donnie Yen tho, he was really good in Once Upon a Time in China II.

lol, gogoplata @ 1:16

I won this thread a long time ago

you all are sooooo wrong btw

winner

Actually this one wins no matter what

The original Matrix where Neo fights Mr Smith in the subway is better than any that followed it in it's sequels. Also for action without just being an fight scene, Neo and Trinity, the whole helicopter scene rescuing Morpheus from Mr. Smith beats the other scenes of the following movies.

I dunno, it isn't really super action heavy, but the 'ending' sequence of Assassins where Sly and Antonio Banderas have their gun battle is amazing.
