Action Sequences - What happens in Thew's pad on a Saturday Night!

First, to edumacate Tilam...

"WOOT" has become internet slang for an expression of exhuberance, common among MMORPG gamers, expecially those who play World of Warcraft (like TDub and Thew). I don't use it because I think 'tis a silly thing, but all my mates do. It's primarily derived from the expression "We One the Other Team"; probably from player v player game encounters.

And since you, gentle readers, hinge on my every post:

Tombstone - pretty much the entire movie is awesome - but the part I love to fast forward to is the sequence where Wyatt Earp kills Stillwell and send Ike Clanton back to the Cowboys - his angry dialogue gives me chills
Terminator 2 - "hasta la vista baby" shooting the frozen T2000
Chronicles of Riddick - when Riddick (Vin Diesel) kills another inmate with his coffee cup - the fight at the end of the movie with the Lord Marshall is also VERY cool
The Matrix – dojo fight “do not think you are faster, KNOW you are faster” for it’s originality – the fight where they find that French dick and Neo takes on his henchmen in that foyer is great too
Troy – Hector v Achilles
Saving Private Ryan – storming the beaches in the beginning of the movie is as intense a battle scene as you will see ANYWHERE
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon – Li Mu Bai v Jen Yu in the trees - silent as the wind, awesome sequence imo
Lord of the Rings – Helms Deep “for Wrath, for Ruin, and the RED DAWN!” – but I also LOVED the 30 second clip with Aragorn and Gimli on the bridge “you’re going to have to throw me” – "ARAGORN, don’t tell the elf!” LOL
Jackie Chan – yeah, the actor – ANY fight scene in his movies are fantastic, done 90% without stunt men and using any reachable implement (including chairs, ladders, and brooms).
Monty Python & the Holy Grail – Arthur v the Black Knight "alright, we'll call it a draw!"

Honorable Mentions:
Resident Evil: Apocalypse - when Alice faces Matt(?), her ex-"boyfriend" now Nemesis

Who needs Soccer when you can play GOLF?
