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.

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.
Here’s another good one that I haven’t seen mentioned yet. Hard Times with Charles Bronson. A true badass. I think he was about 60 when he made that movie. The scene where he fights the champ at the beginning and KO’s him with one punch was classic Bronson. Bare knuckles of course.
Another one was the original Predator. I liked when they were firing into the woods at the Alien. After they were done one of them asks…what they were shooting at. They must have fired off a couple of thousand rounds.
Finally one of my favorites. The ending to Flight of the Intruder. William Dafoe is shot down and his back broken. He tells the air support pilot to drop napalm on his position because he wants to kill the enemy and not be captured. Dafoe says to him: “come on do it to me, I’d do it to you”.

…smells like…victory.
For me it has to be the scene in “The Patriot” were Mel Gibson and his two sons ambush those f*&king wankers. When he finally chases the last guy down and is hacking him up in the ditch. It makes me go f%^king bizerck. It’s just anger, aggression, and f–ing Test. all wrapped into one. Everytime I watch that scene I grit my teeth and clench my fists and just keep telling Mel to hack into him one more time. You gotta love killin someone with your bare hands. AAhhh the good old days!!!
Id have to go with the scene from knock around guys where vin diesle walks into the bar with his buddies and beats the hell out of the towns bad ass.
Any scene from Pitch Black with Vin Diesel in it. Not a fanboi but that movie kicked ass.
Equilibrium, most of the movie.
Pretty much anything with Charles Bronson in it.
Did anybody see Rob Roy? The final swordfight was great. It seemed very realistic - not that I’ve been in many swordfights.
In the end, Liam Neeson is so tired he’s dragging his sword on the floor. A very nasty Tim Roth steps in to kill him, Neeson grabs Roth’s sword with his hand, blood pouring, and almost cuts him in half with one blow. Intense.

Awesome scene. That’s what I’d want to do to a queer little punk that raped my wife.
8mm when Nic Cage pistol whips James Gandofini half to death, pours gas on him, and sets him on fire. The piece of shit deserved it and got it. Sweet retribution.
Glengarry Glen Ross: Alec Baldwin’s entire “motivation” speech.
“Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is…you’re fired.”
Full Metal Jacket: Any scene with R. Lee Ermey.
True Romance: Dennis Hopper staying tough during the interrogation by Walken.
“Now tell me, am I lyin’?”
Young Guns: The final gunfight at the end. Especially the moment Estevez pops up from inside the trunk in slow-mo.

Excellent movie. Any scene with sword fights is awesome.
It must be a Freudian thing.
I’m gonna go with a T2 and T3 combo. Both car/motorcycle chases. T2, where young John Connor is chased by the T1000 liquid metal guy and chases him in a semi with Arnold on his Harley not far behind. T3, where the terminator chick takes control of the police vehicles and eventually gets in a huge crane and is again chasing an older John Connor, destroying a building and anything else in her way.
