Re: The Movies' Greatest Action Sequences

I haven't read through this thread in awhile, so this may have already been mentioned.

I watched the Itallian Job last night. The Sequence that involves them blowing up the road and dropping the armoured truck and the Mini Cooper getaway is still a nice sequence. Love this movie, and really holds up well on multiple viewings.

The Desh-Bourne fight scene...especially the use of the book. That is a great fight sequence that will be remembered for quite some time. I'm certain 2007 yielded some more additions to this list, but I'll throw that one on the pile.

I also love the "individual" fight scenes in 300...the ones where they used multiple cameras to shift time and close-in and move out on Leonidas and the dyas (the two Spartans fighting as a unit) sequences. It was a very sharp filming sequence.

Back from the dead, suckers.

The Tunnel scene in "Live Free or Die Hard."

Actually, that film is basically one great action sequence from start to finish (and has worked my sound system harder than any recent film).

Yeah, I was really impressed with that. I know some disliked the switching between regular speed and slowing down, but it worked great for me.

I'm afraid I can't really get behind Live Free or Die Hard. The movie was so over the top that I felt thrown out of the experience instead of drawn into it.

Whatever happened to Timobi? He has been missing for some time.

Tim is probably on a walkabout...he does that sometimes. I'm sure he'll be in at some point soon

I don't think anyone has mentioned the Road Warrior. That whole movie was one big chase scene. Spectacular stuff. The other two Mad Max movies have great chase scenes as well.

Re: The Movies' Greatest Action Sequences

I can think of two 08 sequences that deserve to be mentioned, one big, one small.

Small: Viggo Mortensen's knife fight in Eastern Promises
Big: Zoe Bell and the car chase in Death Proof
