Apocalypto  
David in LA : 5/26/2016 4:23 pm : link
the best car chase movie without cars.
another top one for me  
UConn4523 : 5/26/2016 4:24 pm : link
would be in Ip Man, when Ip takes on the competing school master and when he fights for food against 10 guys when enslaved.
The shootout after the bank robbery  
bradshaw44 : 5/26/2016 4:24 pm : link
In the movie Heat. Great scene.

Haha. It was on a couple weeks back randomly at like 3am when the baby woke me up. I was watching the scene where they would make them run towards the crops while throwing spears and arrows at them. Talk about intense. That movie is pretty underrated, especially considering where it was shot and the "actors" in the film.

Giant boulder, Gun vs sword, mechanic fight, chase scene, fight with mola through the bridge scene. Boat chase, "No ticket", etc....

In the chase scene under the EL train in The French Connection remains awesome to this day.

Bourne Identity

where Jason Bourne enters the U.S. Embassy in Germany. The music really drives the urgency of the scene.

But the gang fights and rioting scenes in Gangs of New York are pretty impressive.

Yep, my call is well.

Ronin had some great car chase scenes as well. Innocent bystanders did not emerge unscathed.

Road house final fight scene where he rips the dudes throat out. not one mention of that? disgraceful!

plus that whole movie is awesome. though I do hate how he makes banging that chick against the wall look so easy.
You didn't specify movies so I will go with GOT Episodes  
Shadow : 5/26/2016 5:31 pm : link
Hardhome and Blackwater. Both fight scenes shot extremely well.
The plane crash in Cast Away is pretty intense

Good call on Ronin  
TXRabbit : 5/26/2016 5:38 pm : link
underrated on many aspects.

Me..

BLADE - opening scene in the nightclub. The remix of "Confusion" by New Order really sold that scene.

DREDD (Karl Urban, not Stallone). The entire movie

Come on, no love for Smokey and the Bandit yet?  
Taggart : 5/26/2016 5:59 pm : link
Besides every scene in the movie, the scene where the convoy lets bandit "slip into the rocking chair" in order to escape a smokey. Gives me goose bumps every time. Safe as in your mothers womb, darlin! God i love that movie.

Bullitt, The French Connection, The Seven-Ups, Mad Max, To Live and Die in LA, and Ronin are my favorites. Out of all of those, I think the Seven-Ups had the best. Even in the skilled hands of Bill Hickman, those big old '70s sleds were all over the road, adding to the realistic feel

If you've never seen it, linked below. Link - ( New Window )



I loved Ronin, but I agree great best car chase= The Seven-Ups.
I'd like to add the Chariot race in Ben Hur, for nostalgic reasons. Also the Car chase in James Bond's Diamonds Are Forever, and the boat chase in Live And Let Die.

Sorry, I had my Michael Bay filter on.

Too many to list, but the first one that jumped into mind is Hard Boiled. His action scenes were really innovative at the time.
