The scene in Blackhawk Down when the 2 Delta Force snipers, Gordon and Shughart, are asked 3 times whether they’re SURE they want to be inserted into that maelstrom in order to try to save the 2 downed chopper pilots, and then they lost their lives defending them until the last bullet ran out.
The entire die hard movie, but several moments stick out …
The part where he is fighting the terrorist and he says “I’m going to kill you, i’m going to cook you and then i’m going to eat you”
Also, when he was killing the guys brother and tell him his brother squeeled like a pig when he was breaking his neck
basically the whole movie from start to finish. bruce willis is a bad ass
The gunfight scene in Heat, the one against the LAPD. It was set up by a SAS trooper as the consultant.
Rocky training (I-IV)
the fight and the whole arrangement between Bruce and Chuck in “Way of the dragon”. Today’s Martial Art Flics are more like MTV Clips.
“Rome”, one of the last episodes, when Pullo is to be killed in the Arena.
“Hardboiled”: practically the whole first shootout
“Troy”: Achilles and his Myrmidons storm the beach.
How nobody mentioned “Full Metal Jacket” is beyond me. Too many scenes to choose from. How bout “I will rip off your balls so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world!”.
Last part of Braveheart where the bug guy throws the sword and then they all rush the English knowing they wouldn’t beat them.
And the last battle scene of Platoon where Berenger is about to smash in Charlie Sheen’s face before a huge explosion knocks them both out.

Did you know that all the customers in the bank had no idea it was a movie and thought it was a real robbery? they did that to enhance a “real” robbery effect.
Pretty cool. Also my second favorite movie ever behind braveheart.
I see someone else has already gotten True Grit. I’m appalled it took the second page for that one to come up.
The Duke won an academy award for that performance.
The camera work on that scene was incredible. Just thinking about it I can feel the wind in my hair.
My estimation of the people on this board has been seriously lowered.
How could you soyboys miss The Duke.
bruce willis in the last boy scout .
willis is tied to a chair, the villain holds a switch _-blade a quarter inch from willi’s eye and says "what can i do to make you scream? willis stares back and says "play some rap music.

Same movie when the guy smacks him in the face while lighting his cigarette. Then willis tells him if he does it again he going to kill him and then he does kill him in a single punch.
How 'bout Chuck Norris eating the rats in Missing in Action?

I didn’t know that but I love that firckin movie!!!
Hard Boiled by John Woo. Chow Yun-Fat kills more people in the first 15 minutes than most of John Woo’s American movies do in 120.
The opening sequence of ‘Unleahsed’. Jet Li looks as crazy as ever but it’s…grimy. Sucks for the bad guys.
“I am Spartacus!”
American Psycho - Christian Bale pounds a chick from behind while flexing in the mirror.

Picking locations is only the beginning. Then there are the permissions and permits to get. To film a location you have to negotiate with the owner of theproperty or properties. The owner of Bob’s Big Boy, where Breedan (actor Dennis Haysbert, as the driver who is hired at the last minute for the bank robbery) works, had to be convinced to let them close the restaurant for two days for filming.Then perhaps get permission from the local City Council. (Arranging for filming of the armored car heist, which shut down Venice Boulevard, a major thru street near the Los Angeles Convention Center, for seven days, involved meeting with numerous agencies, showing them what would be involved in the filming.) Then permits must be obtained and arrangements made with the Fire Department, the Transportation Department, the California Highway Patrol, the Police Department, CALTRANS (the California Transit Authority), the Department of Water and Power and the Los Angeles Film Office, and perhaps others, depending on what is involved in the filming. Special permits are required for filming that involves weapons and pyrotechnics (explosions and fires.) Asked if she was ever turned down for a location, Ms Polley said, “No.” Pressed to elaborate, she admitted that sometimes she met with initial refusal, but always got the location in the end.
For instance, to set up the filming of the bank robbery, Ms Polley and the producer spent months meeting with officials of the Far East Bank, explaining what would be involved in filming there. All filming (and setting up beforehand and cleaning up afterwards) had to be done on the weekend between 6:00 PM on Friday and 5:00 AM Monday morning. Set-up for filming in the bank involved, among other things, building a different “counter” between tellers and customers than was in the real bank, so that McCauley could walk on it. Clean-up, outside anyway, involved sweeping up many piles of broken glass (not real glass, but the “candy glass” used in movies), shell casings and other debris of a movie firefight. The bank robbery also involved shutting down 5th street in downtown Los Angeles, so the filmmakers also had to meet with city officials and area hotels. Then there were the permits and arrangements with the Fire Department, the Police Department, and the Transportation Department. And the insurance. And finally, everybody within earshot had to be warned about the noise. It took five weekends to film the sequence from the beginning of the bank robbery to the end of the shootout.
also, i dont know if any of you guys have seen this, but this part in Irreversible when this dude takes on all these Russians in a bar… breaks one guys arm at his elbow, then a guy smashes his face in with a fire hydrant. pretty sick but damn!
Aliens - best action movie ever filmed. Scene where Ripley crashes in and evacuates the Marines. Alien almost gets into the vehicle, and Hudson shoves a shotgun into its mouth “Eat This!”
Bang!
Happy Gilmore beats the shit out of Bob Barker.
