best action sequences

to coincide with the action movies thread .. there are some outstanding action sequences i love .. (not always neccessary in an action film)


- Terminator 3 ... the town demolishing crane sequence

- terminator 2 - hard to pick just one

- the abyss - the chain of events sequence starting with the crane falling off the ship in the storm

- the freeway sequence in Final Destination 2

- the car chase in To Live and Die In LA

- anything that involved the dinos in Jacksons King Kong

- the fight sequence between Cusack and the assassin in Grosse Point Blank (probably the most realistic fight sequence ever filmed)

- the bridge crossing scene in Sorceror where you had to sit through it twice...



i'm partial to unrelenting action scenes that are realistic - that play out probably just as they would if the events were happening in real life (given the absurdity of time travel and killer robots..etc)
