Back in med school my group of friends loved action movies. Our post-test ritual was to always play a drinking game to a new action movie before we went out. During our final year we ended up making an Action Movie Power Hour. For those who have never partaken, it was basically sixty 1 minute action scenes with the idea that you drink a beer each time the clip changes. Since then a few upgrades have been made, and it's now a Century Club (100 clips), and has challenge clips, which are full length scenes (> 1 minute) that have their own mini-drinking game. Well for my birthday this year I've decided to update it yet again. I'm fully aware that I am no action movie expert, so I'm sure there are scenes out there I've forgotten or are from movies I've never even seen or know exist. I'm always super impressed with the amount of movies some people on this forum have seen, so I thought I'd make a thread to see what people think are the best action scenes of all time. I've included the current list of movies that are going to be in my updated version below. I realize that the list doesn't really say which scenes are used, but that's to keep it readable. Some movies get 2 scenes, but I try to not let any one film get more than that. Don't worry about all the highlighted parts-- it's just my way of organizing certain types of scenes so I get a good distribution throughout. Hopefully I'll get some more awesome suggestions from this, and maybe people can find some new movies to watch.

The chart is missing something from Kung Fu Hustle. I'd recommend either this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDr1MD2a1aM or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_6QgHg4eTk or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8DN-3pp1zI Basebf555 fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Jun 26, 2016 |

The bank robbery scene from Heat is always legit, assuming you allow Heat as 'action': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQNBg6I29gI

Basebf555 posted:The chart is missing something from Kung Fu Hustle. I'd recommend either this: How have I not seen this movie. That first scene is going in. I keep deferring the famed bank robbery scene, because I haven't watched Heat yet, and I didn't want to spoil it for myself. I will fix that today.

Every fight scene in Kung Hustle is twice as good when you see it in context, so definitely watch it ASAP.

Since you have both Rumble in the Bronx and Rush Hour 2 on your list, you'd probably enjoy Jackie Chan's older work. Check out Drunken Master 2, Wheels on Meals, or the original Police Story. Also, this thread is probably of interest to you. And this is needlessly pedantic, but I'm pretty sure Kiss of the Dragon is a French film.
