Your favourite action sequence

[TheRingBearer]

This is a hard one for me but anything from Drive or Saving Private Ryan is pretty cool. Can' think of anything else right now but say what you think :grin:

[Wilwarin]

My newest favorite action sequence is from AOTC. The big battle at the end with all the machines and giant ships! There is so much stuff happening in that one sequence that you can't possibly see it all even after multipul viewings.

I have a lot of other forvorites too, I just can't think of them all right now.

[TheRingBearer]

Yeah I agree. The new Star Wars does have it's moments of wow when it comes to action ;)

[Black Rider]

yeah, like that cool yoda battle w/ the christopher lee character, that's one of my faves!!

[Akiba]

Most people I know that watched the movie didn't like that scene or the movie in General I'm not much into Star wars only seen Episode one but anyways my favorite action thingy has to be from the Matrix when they're at the military compound and all the guns and the killing and when he fights the agent so cool! (sorry but I love the matrix ok)

[Sindarin]

Anything Star Wars! :)

Yoda dueling Count Dokku was absolutely amazing.

Yet I'm sure there will be some pretty spectacular battle sequences in the next two LOTR films. :battle:

[Orkybash]

Yeah, I think there will be too.

I honestly think Helm's Deep might be the largest battle ever seen on screen...

[TheRingBearer]

I agree about the Matrix shootout. That's gotta be one of the coolest fights ever :thumbs:

[Sindarin]

I honestly think Helm's Deep will be the largest battle seen on screen.

You may be right, Orky. :)

After all, it is going to be an un-interrupted 45 minute sequence. :battle:

[TheRingBearer]

Oh I forgot about Helm's Deep. I think that'll be number one. The only other really long action sequence I can think of is Pearl Harbour but I haven't seen that so I don't really care.

[Orkybash]

I was going to see Pearl Harbor, but then I heard one two many people describe it as "Titanic with planes."

So I stayed as far away as I possibly could. ^^

[Wilwarin]

I saw Pearl Harbor on PPV. It was Ok, they could have gone without the pridictable love triangle though!

I thought the action scenes were some of the best. Really good FX!! It looked real!

[Akiba]

"Titanic with planes" is how I would describe it although like wilwarin said the fx were good but otherwise a big snooze fest in my opinion sorry to all those who liked Peal Harbor

[Miruvor]

A chase scene is a chase scene is a chase scene. Unless there is something new and different about it. That is what I liked about the movie Speed. I've also been eternally impressed by the opening scene in Raiders of the lost Ark. And that second Indy movie, where they were roller coaster riding a mining car.

[Orkybash]

Ah yes, the mine cart ride. That was the coolest thing about Temple of Doom (and incidentally, the only thing I really liked about it...)

[Miruvor]

Your right. It's hard to remember hardly anything else about it, except maybe Kate Capshaw. I didn't even remember the name.

[Narsil's weilder]

Well action sequence wise, i would say the last part of Jaws as the boat sinks, Roy aims, fires, misses, fires "Blowup!" misses, fires "Blow up", misses. Aims" Smile you son of a *****!" Fires, BOOM!

And you gotta love Weathertop when Aragon gets down and dirty with the fire. And when Aragon turns and all the Uruk-Hai surround him.

[TheRingBearer]

Yeah that is a great shot, the one with Aragorn and the Uruk Hai.

[Little Devil]

Aragon's walk to kill the Urak-Hai was soooooo cool, he looked really great there. :thumbs:

[Daisy Gamgee]

:thumbs: yep that scene is pretty cool..


me and my friends had a girly night in with pizza wine, and pearl harbour coz everyone had said how good it was - i think we all fell asleep!!:snooze: won't be bothering to watch that again.... unless i develop insomnia....

[Quickbeam15]

Arena batlle - AOTC!

[Bonos-Girl]

i still haven't seen pearl harbour...pil likes it and every time i say i haven't seen it she gasps with surprise!

[Darth Homer]

I have a few here...

The big car chase in Ronin
The chase in Bullett
The Clone battle in Attack of the Clones
Luke v Vader in Empire Strikes Back
The Normandy Invasion in Saving Private Ryan
Black Hawk Down (the whole movie is an Action sequence)
Aragorn v the orcs at the end of Fellowship
The fight with the Cave Troll in Fellowship
The Pod Race in The Phantom Menace
Obi-Wan v Darth Maul in TPM
Obi-wan v Jango Fett in AOTC
The Battle of Hoth in Empire Strikes Back

There are more I'm sure...but those are the ones that came to mind.

DH...out

[TheRingBearer]

They're all great. I love the star wars fights, especially the triple lightsaber fight in the phantom menace.

[Miruvor]

Ooooo, I have to agree with Black Hawk Down. Great all the way thru, plus even I, of the untouchable heart, was quite stirred by the mile run at the end back to the stadium. What a sap I am.

[Little Devil]

Awww. I loved the pod race in TPM so cool. :cool:

[TheRingBearer]

Oo oo, I also love the major shootout in the matrix in that lobby :grin:

[Finrod Felagund]

Opening scenes in Gladiator, Excalibur and Saving Private Ryan. Gave you some impression of what it was like to be there: Terrifying
