Hey Gang,
For those of us who love action scenes, THIS IS YOUR BLOG!!! Submit your favorite moments (doesn't have to particularly be from an action movie per se, sometimes the best ass-kicking scenes come from other genres). But the scenes where impossible odds face the hero, and the bad guys get their backsides handed to them, with one or more of the following:
Crashed/blown up cars
Exploding buildings
Broken bones/noses/splattering of the red stuff
People full of holes
Ridiculous property damage
Something on the order of the above is often action scene criteria. I'll give you my example of a good whuppin':
A film called "The Ninth Configuration" is generally a drama, from 1980 starring Stacey Keach (who later provided ass-whuppin' as Mike Hammer) as a very troubled Vietnam vet who acts as a psychiatrist for other vets at a tower somewhere in the Northwestern US. He is generally a nice guy; a kind, sensitive spirit. But when he goes to a bar to help his friend who is beset by a gang, whose scummy leader wears mascara, he is beaten and humiliated to the point where his personality does a complete 180. His rage knows no bounds, mercy, or gender (as 2 women in the gang find out). Not a single gang member is left alive. Stacey Keach, you're my hero!!!
