Best Action Scenes

[abu_has_the_power]

i need to find a good scene for a physics project. i'm picking a scene from a movie and making a physics problem out of it. so far, my choices are:

Gone in 60 Sec (Shelby over ramp scene)
Speed 2
007

any other suggestions?

i also considered XXX, but it's already taken

i no. i ask the weirdest questoins, but i really need some more suggestions.

Die Hard: When Bruce Willis ties a hose pipe around himself and jumps off the building or when he falls down the elevator shaft and actually breaks a few of the laws of physics! ;)

The waterfall slide from Predator might be good

The bank robbery scene from "Heat" (Robert De Nero, Val Kilmer). The ballistics of that scene would be amazing: 4 bank robbers with machine guns + 15 or so cops. Some great shots of Al Pachino sighting his gun too.

oceans 11, very good movie wit george clooney...the scence where they rob the casino but not really at the same time..its hard to discribe, u just have to see it

[abu_has_the_power]

it has to do with physics. like torque, friction, forces, and so on. and my teacher said matrix is not applicable cuz it's not in the real world.

well for the torque aspect, you can use a scene from pirates of the caribbean (pulling up the anchor), which isn't really action but it displays torque

lol. good point. but i need something exciting. pulling up anchors doesn't excite the senses so much. lol


good suggestions so far. die hard might actually work. any others?
