Wrong ****in forum.

Wrong forum, but I guess the Aladdin scene where Genie finds out that Aladdin's father is the king of thieves is kinda kickass smile

Any thing from Live Free or Die Hard but overall it would have to be when in T2 Arnold gets up from the truck and shoots the T-1000 with the M-16. cool

Some fight scenes in Bourne Ultimatum esp. Bourne's one-on-one with Desh

Exactly the scene I would have said - he totally blasts the shit out of him! laughing

The final Fight Sequence in Jet Li's "The One" between both of Jet Li's Characters in that building where sparks started going everywhere at one point and then an axe got involved.

Love it.

The entire movie is the best action scene I have ever layed eyes on.

The Bride vs The Crazy 88 in Kill Bill. Awesome!

I love those chase and fight scenes between Nicolas Cage and John Malkovich in Con Air.

Any of the fight scenes in the first two Matrix movies.

In no particular order, these scene's come to mind:

The opening sequence of Raider of the Lost Ark (the spiders, swinging across the pit, the idol and the poison darts... and that bolder! Classic stuff).

The fight between Indy and the Nazi's (the huge bald guy, the fight for the truck)- another classic from Raiders.

The fight between Bruce Lee and O'harra in Enter the Dragon.

The John Wayne fight sequence in The Quiet Man- maybe the funnest fist fight ever filmed.

Neo's final confrontation with the Smith's in The Matrix.

Arnolds fight against Bennet at the end of Commando. Rarely has a fight been so brutal and yet so funny.

Bond's (Connery) fight against the assassin in From Russia With Love. Perfect display of what makes Bond, Bond; brutal, lethal, efficient, suave. When he straightens his tie and smooths out his jacket after killing the guy... so cool.

The chariot race in Ben Hur.

The sword fighting in the first Banderas Zorro was very exciting and well staged.

I'm sure there are many other worthy choices to add to these.

Blow the roof from die hard

the bathroom fight from True Lies is pretty awesome.

come on, who tears a blow dryer from the wall and beats a guy with it? Arnold Schwarzeneggar, that's who.

also, i'm particularly fond of every action scene in Shoot 'Em Up, and every fight during the Hard Goodbye part of Sin City (the part with Marv and Goldie, for those who haven't read the graphic novel)

also, as much as i hate the AVP movies, i have to admit, the fights between the Xenomorphs and the Predators are damn cool.

Any fight in any of the Matrix films except the Super Burly Brawl in Revolutions. Can't stand the DBZ style fighting.

In Casino Royale where Bond despatches those two African assassins in the staiwell.

You're right on the Matrix stuff- and I agree w/ you on DBZ as well.

Yeah, that fight was good, but I'd go with the opening chase/fight sequence from Casino, with all of the climbing and jumping... that was fantastic.

Too many to call

The shooutout in Heat is definitely up there
The last half an hour of The Matrix
The battle of Helms Deep in The Two Towers
The highway chase scene in The Matrix Reloaded
The car chases in Ronin

The worst action scene I've recently seen is in AVP 2

Darth Martin
AVP: Requiem was aweswome.
