Favorite action sequences

[elaminator]

from a movie, tv show, whatever.

Can be a car chase, fight scene, etc.

Re: Favorite action sequences

[(Anonymous)]

Basically the entirety of 'Dirty Harry'

Re: Favorite action sequences

[elaminator]

(Everyone's probably tired of hearing me talk about it by now but) Harry Hart's church scene in Kingsman is seriously one of the coolest things I've ever seen. (Dat clip change! Jumping from the pew! Good god, every bit of it was perfect.) Eggsy in Valentine's bunker was also fantastic (This bit, omg.), and Gazelle was a powerhouse.

Hit Girl's fights in the first Kick-Ass (haven't seen 2). I wasn't the biggest fan of the film outside of Hit Girl, but she made that movie worth seeing (multiple times).

The Bride vs Gogo Yubari and the Crazy 88 + O-Ren Ishii in Kill-Bill. The whole damn thing.

Matt Murdock pulverizing a buttload of criminals in Daredevil (in only one take).

Neo vs Agent Smith('s) in The Matrix Reloaded. It's ridiculous but fun.

The section of Winter Soldier where Steve, Nat and Sam are ambushed on the highway. Steve vs Bucky (that knife fight, unf) will stay with me for a long time.

Blink and Quicksilver in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Blink was all around badass but Quicksilver was no doubt the highlight of the film for me. Rarely are action sequences so delightfully funny and quirky.

Inception had plenty of great ones, but the revolving corridor is probably my favorite. (Predictable, I know.)

Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Darth Maul in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. (TPM gets a lot of hate from SW fans, but I adored Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan and Maul was damn cool.)

Basically everything Kahlan does in Legend of the Seeker. (She is so delicious with twin daggers and slow mo, and when she goes into the Con Dar...)

Sun being a total wrecking ball in Sense8, especially the first time she helps Capheus. (The scene where Sun, Will and Capheus help Nomi escape is equally amazing.)

The train scene (with young!Indiana) and motorcycle scene (with Indy and Henry) from Indiana Jones.

Person of Interest is filled with these, between Root and Shaw and Reese. I wouldn't even know where to begin.

There are so, so many...

If I was going to include video games we would be here all day, but escaping the ship in Uncharted 3 was incredible, as was Raiden jumping from missile to missile and running up buildings during the first Metal Gear fight in Metal Gear Rising, then owning both Metal Gear EXCELSUS and Armstrong at the end (Raiden does his best Kano impression), The entire Suicide Mission in Mass Effect 2, the crazy final boss in Bayonetta, defeating The Boss in Metal Gear Solid 3 (sobs), and escaping the Halo via Warthog in Halo 3.

I agree with all of these but I wanted to call out one specific Person of Interest fight scene in particular - the one where Reese just walks into the US Marshal's office and just casually beats the shit out of everyone. This one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-MsxmB0Y8g

It's just so impressive how casual he is about it all.

Also, this was the scene that I used on its own to get one of my friends into the show, so that's also good.

Re: Favorite action sequences

[flipthefrog.livejournal.com]

came here to post church scene, was not disappointed.

Re: Favorite action sequences

[(Anonymous)]

I literally came here to post the Kingsman church scene LOL.

Re: Favorite action sequences

[kaijinscendre]

Car Chase: Children of Men. Spoilers obvs. https://youtu.be/QfBSncUspBk
Fight Scene: The Winter Soldier's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXPOl6EjbWg

Re: Favorite action sequences

[(Anonymous)]

Ha, I was going to mention that Children of Men scene, but you beat me to it! That whole movie was great. The book is pretty damn creepy, too.

Re: Favorite action sequences

[(Anonymous)]

The church fight in Kingsman is still very wow to me.

Re: Favorite action sequences

[elaminator]

I have watched it way too many times.

Re: Favorite action sequences

[comradesmiler]

I want count the whole of Nemesis (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYsw99YKHLw) as an action sequence because GODDAMN.

Kingsman's church scene kinda reminds me of most of Dredd, mostly how both Harry and Dredd act so clinically. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb4f1xpSu-I

Also, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, especially Monsoon's fight.

Re: Favorite action sequences

[kaijinscendre]

Man, Dredd is such a good movie!

Re: Favorite action sequences

[elaminator]

Monsoon's fight was great (and the cutscene before his fight, when Raiden goes ripper) but my favorite is probably Armstrong because of how insane it is. I love how Raiden scales Metal Gear during the fight before that and all the sections of the Armstrong battle leading up to him tearing Armstrong's heart out. It's such a cool sequence to play.

As well as the opening with the misses and ahhhhhh, Metal Gear Rising is incredible.

...Okay, so I'm fond of Sam's fight too, but I'm just fond of Sam in general. It was a great fight.

Daredevil episode 2 - THAT hallway scene

*raises hand*

[(Anonymous)]

Oooh! OOH! I know!

The car chase from Castle of Cagliostro is both an awesome action scene and a beatiful piece of animation. Go Miyazaki go!
(On that note, the first episode of Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine is also really nice. AND don't get me started on the 2015 special! You can see the trailer here:
https://youtu.be/N9AuACG76Zo
It makes me sad not many people have seen it outside Japan and Italy.)

Beatrix vs. Vernita Green from Kill Bill 1 is so much fun.

I'm not much of a Assasin's Creed fan anymore, but the end shot of Brotherhood trailer is one of my top "we're about to fuck shit up" shots.

Basically the entire Mad Max: Fury Road movie.

Hammer girl from The Raid 2

LOTS of scenes from Spartacus (the series)

Every scene in The Venture Bros where Brock lets loose.

Re: *raises hand*

[comradesmiler]

Every scene in The Venture Bros where Brock lets loose.
HeheHELL YEAH.

Re: Favorite action sequences

[nightscale]

Pretty much all the fight scenes in TWS.

The church scene with Harry in Kingsman is also cool as hell, oh and while there is a bit too much CGI in the Gazelle+Eggsy fight at the end I do still like it a lot(Gazelle is just awesome).

Peggy beating up random ppl in Agent Carter because, like it wasn't super-sleek fighting at all but man was it fun to watch.

All of Nuada's fights in Hellboy II, damn that man can fight.

And there's a DC Wonder Woman cartoon where I love all her fight sequences, can't remember the name of it atm but it wasn't JLU, different title(it had Nathan Fillion voicing Steve Trevor, that's all I can reliably remember right now).

Re: Favorite action sequences

Battle of Helm's Deep, The Two Towers. No battle sequence or action sequence in either the LOTR or the Hobbit films have been its equal.

Re: Favorite action sequences

[(Anonymous)]

The scene in Ghost Protocol where Ethan Hunt is chasing a car in a sand storm on foot.

Re: Favorite action sequences

[ariakas]

Waaaaay too many to count and I don't think I can name a favorite fight scene, but I definitely have a favourite chase scene: the car chase through Moscow in the Bourne Supremacy surpassed every other chase scene I'd seen to date and has yet to be surpassed. White-knuckle realism (completely sans CGI) filmed right on the roads in question.

Seriously, look at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzfSLgWkTlY

One of the most beautifully staged was Maximus v Commodus at the end of Gladiator.

The fight in the elevator in Drive might take all points for most realistic depiction of beating a man to death ever filmed. The bath house fight from Eastern Promises is pretty close in terms of realism too (Don't google this unless you're up for some Viggo Mortenson full frontal). But I mean that's just my own personal taste. A lot of people like the artistic waif-fu arm flailing with high kicks kind of fighting because it's pretty, and I admit sometimes that style can have breath-taking cinematography, but to me too often it just looks dumb. Example of it not looking dumb but rather EXTREMELY FUCKING AWESOME is Equilibrium, though. Gun kata ftw.

Re: Favorite action sequences

[otakugal15]

I know people rag on them, but I fucking LOVE the lightsaber duel at the end of Revenge of the Sith. I still sit at the edge of my seat if I'm watching that film.

Re: Favorite action sequences

[tabaqui]

The car chase scene (taxi vs police) in Fifth Element. Also, Leeloo's fight scene while the Diva sings.

Re: Favorite action sequences

A lot already mentioned! I don't think I saw the expected Fury Road mention, though. The scene where the Doof first shows up and the chase into the sandstorm are just fantastic joys that tell you so much about the world it's in. Also throwing in Pacific Rim -- I got giddy realizing how that ocean liner was going to be used.

Besides the already mentioned MI: Ghost Protocol sandstorm scene (and for me, the skyscraper scene), the opening jailbreak was a great intro.

Korean movies: The Good, The Bad, and The Weird has a lot, but it builds extremely well to an amazing everyone-vs-everyone race near the end. It does really need that context for full effect, though, similar to the also excellent Blues Brothers iconic car chase. Also, in the horror-comedy movie The Host, where the monster first fully appears. It starts off far in the distance, but as it runs to the camera causing havoc on the way, its scale and monstrosity becomes more apparent.

Finally, the animated Aeon Flux short "War". Deftly changes protagonists (and sympathies) as they fight a seemingly endless battle.

John Wick. The whole movie is full of excellent action movies, but I do really like the club scene because it has everything:

Amazing choreography and cinematography! Exciting music! Gun fights, knife fights, fist fights, stalking the target, one badass against a crowd, a one on one fight! The hero runs out of bullets and gets seriously hurt! Suits!

Also Dredd and Mad Max: Fury Road each as a whole.

The lobby scene in The Matrix. Kakashi vs Obito in Naruto. The Pacific Rim scene where they use the ship as a bat. The final battle in Jack Reacher. Day of Future past's Quicksilver kitchen scene.

Probably a lot more I can't think of right now. Action sequences are usually my favorite part of anything.

Re: Favorite action sequences

[ioanite.livejournal.com]

The climax of Aliens. It's magnificently tense up until they get back to the ship, and then it's a fantastic fight with an amazing one-liner.

Most of the bullet-time moments in The Matrix, especially the "dodging bullets" scene.

And I don't know if it counts as an action scene, but the T-Rex escape from Jurassic Park. If nothing else, those roars are amazing.
