Movie Poll/Question

[imported_Mike]

I am doing a project and would like to poll everyone for a few things.

1. 3 good "Fight" scenes from a movie(actual fist fights, martial arts)
2. 3 good "Gun Battle" movie scenes
3. 3 good car chases

I realize 1,2,or even 3 of these might be in the same scene, so pointing those out would be helpfull as well. Please exclude any scenes from: matrix, fast & furious, reloaded, ronin, transporter, fight club, snatch, b/c i have these already in mind. thanks.

also keep the plot lines current as possible. i.e. no wwii movies(although good, i cannot include these in the project)

Have a look at Enter The Dragon, Hard Boiled & Bullitt for a start

You do realize that as soon as you excluded all those movies you've just lost about 99% of the relevant answers you would have gotten, right?

I concur on Bullitt. It has THE car chase scene.

Equilibrium has some amazing gun fight scenes.

[polygraph freaking out]
DuPont: And you, Preston, the supposed savior of the resistance are now its destroyer and along with them, you've given me yourself... calmly... coolly... Entirely without incident.
John Preston: No...
[Polygraph goes dead]
Technician: Oh... Sh*t!
John Preston: Not with out incident.

Gone in 60 Seconds, new and old, has good car chases.

Any of the Hong Kong action flicks would be good.

Bullit is a classic but the car chase scene is, partly, pretty lame. It's the same sequence over and over again.

EQUILIBRIUM IS UTTER FILTH.

That said, I would recommend the following:

The French Connection (car chases)
The Way of the Gun (realistic gunplay)
Boondock Saints (unrealistic but f*cking sweet gunplay)
Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (more great gun scenes, funnier than hell, Guy Ritchie is gawd)
Hard Boiled (the most unrealistic but sweet-ass gunplay scenes ever captured on film)
the Killler (see Hard Boiled)
the ORIGINAL Gone in 60 Seconds (car chase, 30 FREAKING minutes long)

 

[Encryptic]

Fight scene: The end of Lethal Weapon, the fight scene in the bus station in The Transporter

Car Chase: Opening sequence of The Transporter, the car chase about 30 minutes into A View To A Kill (James Bond movie), the tank/car chase in Goldeneye (another James Bond movie)

Gun Battle: The last 20 minutes of Commando

The best car chase I've ever seen was in The Italian Job (the original from 1969 not the new one that comes out next week)

 

[conjur]

Gun Battle: Heat (The bank robbery scene)

 

[FoBoT]

where is the poll?

 

[MercenaryForHire]

For martial arts - three words.

Fist. Of. Legend.

That is all.

- M4H

 

[Zrom999]

'The Punisher' I think will cover all of those.

AHA! BUT, the Original, or the Jet Li remake? Hmmmmmmmm?

 

[Anubis]

1) Broken Arrow (end), Fight Club (pick one), Enter the dragon

2) Matrix Lobby, Heat (after the bank),

3)Ronin, Gone in 60 secs, Italian Job (origional)

 

[yellowperil]

3 is too hard for me, so I'll try naming one of each -

Fight scene - Grosse Pointe Blank, where John Cusack's character gets attacked by a hitman in a school hallway. Quick, brutal, and realistic.
Gun battle - True Lies, mall bathroom scene. Mainly for the shot of the old guy at the end
Car chase - MI:2 had some cool (albeit a little *too* unrealistic) sequences with Tom on the bike near the end

the transporter has a good car chase scene
