I'm surprised no-body has mentioned the battle with the raiding theives from Seven Samurai. Imo, no film has surpassed it in terms of energy or emotion ... a timeless classic

most of the crouching tiger batles. the final battle in bad boys

HEAT

mentioned only once so i'm gonna mention it again. After the BANK HEIST, that was one hell of a gun fight between Robert De Nero, Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore againts the LAPD.

PROOF of LIFE

When they were trying to rescue Meg Ryan's husband from the Guerillas.
