What is your favorite action scene from a movie?

Question

I normally don’t like a lot of violence in movies, but I saw this recently saw this and I couldn’t help but be amazed by the fighting off the bad guys in it. The movies name is “The Killer and the title is deceiving, because the main character does kill but is looking for someone who is running a sex trafficking operation.

The time from when the aliens finally attack until the end of the movie in "Aliens", the 1986 masterpiece by James Cameron which is a sequel to Ridley Scott's 1979 movie "Alien".

Roger Eberts calls this as the "last hour" of the movie.

Roger Ebert's review of "Aliens" explains it.

==========

The ads for “Aliens” claim that this movie will frighten you as few movies have, and, for once, the ads don’t lie. The movie is so intense that it creates a problem for me as a reviewer: Do I praise its craftsmanship, or do I tell you it left me feeling wrung out and unhappy? It has been a week since I saw it, so the emotions have faded a little, leaving with me an appreciation of the movie’s technical qualities. But when I walked out of the theater, there were knots in my stomach from the film’s roller-coaster ride of violence. This is not the kind of movie where it means anything to say you “enjoyed” it.

...

The marines explore the base on foot, which seems a little silly in view of the great speed with which the aliens attack. Nobody seems very interested in listening to Weaver’s warnings. After all, she’s only the one person who has seen an alien, so what does she know? And then the movie escalates into a nonstop war between human and alien.

It’s here that my nerves started to fail. “Aliens” is absolutely, painfully and unremittingly intense for at least its last hour. Weaver goes into battle to save her colleagues, herself and the little girl, and the aliens drop from the ceiling, pop up out of the floor and crawl out of the ventilation shafts. (In one of the movie’s less plausible moments, one alien even seems to know how to work the elevator buttons.) I have never seen a movie that maintains such a pitch of intensity for so long; it’s like being on some kind of hair-raising carnival ride that never stops.

Hmmm…off the top of my head, I’d say the D-Day Omaha Beach invasion scene from Saving Private Ryan was really, really good. Whole movie was brilliantly shot. Felt about as close to being there as you could without soiling yourself, haha…

I always remember that Terminator 2 motorcycle chase scene in the LA River concrete channels, too, that was crazy. Saw that one at a drive-in theater when I was probably 13 or so. Never forgot that scene…

The opening mission of Medal Of Honor: Frontline, and the final mission of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, both on PlayStation 2 about 20-25 years ago, recreated both of these scenes, so I got a chance to sort of virtually experience them, haha

There are sooo many.

I like Tom Cruise's stunts in his Mission Impossible franchise, the technical difficulties in his Top Gun franchise, the driving skills in F1, all the battles of Superman, all the battles of The Avengers, etc.

One of my favorite action scenes has to be from "Mad Max: Fury Road." The high-octane chase through the desert with blazing vehicles, inventive stunts, and explosive sequences is breathtaking. It’s brilliantly choreographed and executed with jaw-dropping visuals. The movie doesn't just rely on CGI but combines it with practical effects, making it more impressive. It's a visual masterpiece. 🔥🎬

When you mentioned and tagged “The Killer” I thought you were talking about the OG Chow Yun Fat/ John Woo version. You should watch that one.

The first Bourne movie was something to see the first time. It never really stopped and was filmed so well.

loveslongnails · Answer

It's EASILY where Uma Thurman kills 77 sword-wielding Samauri in Kill Bill 2. Chase scenes abound in movies, but there's nothing like that scene in American cinema.
