Jackie Chan VS Ken Lo in Drunken Master 2/Legend of Drunken Master.

Small | Large


This was the best quality version, though it has more than just the Ken Lo duel. 

To quote Roger Ebert, it may not be possible to film a better fight scene.

Jackie Chan VS Bradley James Allan (the first white member of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team) in Gorgeous

Another great one, especially considering how late this one is - Chan is 45 in this scene. 

Danny Lee and Chow Yun-Fat VS everybody.

Words cannot properly express my love of Woo.

The entire finale of Tiger on Beat justifies the rest of the movie.

I recall the first time seeing it my father saying to me "watch what he does to those cops" after Paul Winfield's character "reassures" Sarah Connor the place with well guarded.  The scene has never lost it's luster for me.

The truck chase in Terminator II: Judgement Day will always play in my mind.

And I really like the ending to Jaws 2 where Brody makes the shark bite the electricity line.

Always loved the scene in Rambo II when he's using the Bow and Explosive Arrows and just annihilates the officer from a hundred yards away.

In "The Protector" there is a scene where Tony Jaa enters a building and traverses three stories until he reaches the top fighting off a phalanx of unfortunate victims (some who are even thrown over the edge)... the entire scene is in one continuous shot. 

sorry, no link.  I am not on my computer and the internet on this one has some things blocked (like video)

The Vikings with Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis and Ernest Borgnine. IMHO the entire movie is one big action scene with a few scattered moments of dialogue just to catch your breath. This is just one great scene of many.

It may stretch a little what you may consider an action scene, but some early Hayao Miyazaki films have some of my favourite action scenes:

- In "Porco Rosso", the opening attack on the air pirates, and later, the getaway from the city in his new hidro. Both scenes are among the most exhilarating I've ever seen, although there's little of violence in them, specially in the second.

- In "Castle of Cagliostro", the car chase at the beginning. The heroes ride in a WW Beetle and a car with hired goons starts shooting at them. They make the WW climb into the steep sides of the road. And later, the rooftop infiltration scene or the escape from the dungeons bits are also terrific.

As for real action, I tend to prefer stripped down action to MTV style editing, so I'd choose these two:

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
