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.

Yea, I am a big fan of over the top sequences that are not at all grounded in reality. The more realistic stuff is good too, I just love the spectacle.

That car chase is very good, though! And I vaguely remember how brutal Viggo's scene was in that movie, though I don't think I saw the entire film.

Yes, that was beautiful. Loved it. Perfect culmination of everything that had gone before. It's sad how rarely films actually achieve that.
