Best/favorite actions scenes ever?

[Triumph]

Sarah Connor escaping from the mental ward in T2. Not the whole thing, mainly the scene in the hallway just before she meets Arnold. I love when the guard breaks Arnold's glasses, so he grabs her by the face and throws her down the hall. This scene also has notable CGI moments like the T1000 walking "through" the gate but his gun gets stuck, and Arnold shooting the T1000 in the face with the shotgun, splitting its head in half. It's probably the best action scene of all time.

The intro to the Matrix. Anything and everything in Matrix 2 and 3 is overdone garbage.

 

[Adrenaline]

The opening of X2 where Nightcrawler was in full action.

Some of the others mentioned were awesome.

SPR is amazing.
Ip Man's fight scenes are awesome

Kung Fu Hustle had many entertaining fight scenes.

Anyone know if the two assassins using the string instruments was an homage to previous movies, or an original concept?

Ditto for Shaolin Soccer, so fun - not a lot of skill (and tons of CGI) but VERY entertaining.
