The decade has come to an end, and left us with many great action films. Scenes with hand-to-hand combat, aerial fights, or total war in modern cinema are very exciting and realistic.
But even among the box office hits there are real diamonds that managed to surprise the picky audience with the intensity of passions and dangers. Without further ado, we present you the 15 best action scenes in films of the past decade.
15. “Mission Impossible: Phantom Protocol,” scene at Burj Khalifa skyscraper
In the Mission Impossible series of films, Tom Cruise risked his life in all sorts of ways. But the scene that really makes you bite your nails with excitement for the hero takes place on the tallest building in the world - the luxurious Burj Khalifa hotel.
Of course, Cruz was hung with safety equipment from head to toe, and a medical team was on duty on the ground. But when you see how special agent Ethan Hunt climbs on a mirror surface at breakneck heights, you forget that in fact nothing threatens him.
14. The Pacific Rim, the Battle of Hong Kong
Embed an alien beast with a ship in the face from the heart - what could be cooler? Even in the “Kaiju vs Fur” genre, in which epicism is more than enough, this fighting scene is outstanding.
This delightful sight is complemented by music, which is sure to be “stuck” in your head for a long time. And the increased attention to detail during the fight between the kaiju and the Tramp makes Guillermo del Toro's work truly unique.
13. “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” scene with Mercury in slow-mo
A short, simple and very effective scene in which there was a place for humor and for saving friends. Flying through a well-guarded room with lightning speed, Mercury enjoys unhurried music and has fun laying his own little traps. And when everything returns to full speed, we observe the consequences of his tricks.
12. "Wonder Woman", nobody's land
Some of the action scenes serve not only for the emotional excitement of the public, but also for a deeper disclosure of the character's character. And “Wonder Woman” does it also beautifully.
Until now, we have seen that Diana knows how to fight bravely, and in a scene with nobody’s land, we understand how human and kind this demigoddess is.
11. "John Wick", a scene in the club
The entire first John Wick movie is a work of art, but the scene with an implacable hitman bathed in neon lights is a cherry on this blood-red cake.
Stylish and brutal John, making his way through the enemies to get to the killer of his dog, looks both menacing and realistic.
10. "John Wick 3", a scene in the New York City Library
The story of former killer John Wick has become much more popular than expected, and not only due to the charm of Keanu Reeves, but also thanks to perfectly set battle scenes.
All three of the films currently released are endless roller coasters from non-stop action.
However, one scene stands out even from the rest of the gunshot-melee splendor. While fleeing from other killers seeking a reward for the murder of an ekkomunikado, John Wick proved that everything, even an ordinary book, can be used as a weapon.
9. “Kingsman: The Secret Service,” scene in the church
This cruel, bloody and at the same time funny scene was borrowed directly from the Tarantino movie.
According to the plot, the hero of Colin Firth comes to the fundamentalist church at the very moment when the main villain decided to test his new weapon, which provokes uncontrolled aggression in people.
As directed by director Matthew Vaughn, the massacre in the church was to resemble a “slaughter ballet,” which would go on continuously, as if hypnotizing the viewer. Therefore, it was decided to use simulated shooting in one frame. About 80 people were involved in the scene. Brad Allan was responsible for the choreography and tricks in the killer ballet.
8. "Mad Max: The Road of Fury," the start of the chase
Mad Max: The Road of Fury was the obvious choice for picking the best action scenes of the decade. But to make a choice from the best scenes of this film was not an easy task. Costumes, makeup, stunts, cinematography - everything at Max is an excellent, real storehouse for lovers of quality action movies.
In the end, we stopped on stage with the start of the chase, because this roar of engines, music, explosions and excitement - a real adrenaline rush from start to finish.
7. "Mission Impossible: Consequences", a fight on a rock
The Mission Impossible franchise managed to surprise the audience for many years, thanks to incredible tricks from Tom Cruise. And with every film, the degree of insanity only increased. The last part was not for the faint of heart, because it made the hero of Cruise literally hang over the abyss.
The final battle with the whiskered Witcher ... sorry, with Henry Cavill as the villain, during which the nuclear weapon explosion timer counts the last moments - this is an impressive, dynamic and well-shot spectacle. And fans of the "Mission" can only guess what Tom Cruise will please in the next film.
6. "Logan", the final battle
The darkest picture about Wolverine was greeted by the audience with bitter approval. Hugh Jackman in the image of Logan said goodbye not only to his daughter, unexpectedly found in the movies, but also to fans, the last time being a clawed superhero.
One consolation: this hero left, as it should be a real Wolverine, giving the best fight in his life.
5. "Beginning", a fight in a rotating corridor
In the film, and so stuffed with hallucinogenic visual effects, the battle scene in the hotel corridor, ignoring the force of gravity, stands out especially. It is curious that all the tricks that you see in this scene, Joseph Gordon-Levitt performed himself.
4. "Fast and the Furious 5", the chase after the robbery of the bank
He loves "Fast and the Furious" to destroy cars and objects on crowded city streets. But to a multi-ton bank safe? This is definitely not every day you see.
It is not surprising that such a cool media franchise is not even going to slow down in the corners, in pursuit of spectator sympathies. And if at the same time you have to ignore the laws of physics and logic, then Forsage is ready to make such a sacrifice.
3. "Raid", the final battle
This criminal action movie offers a lot of cruel fighting and shoot-out scenes, but the final battle between the characters of Iko Wise, Donnie Alamshia and Yayan Rukhyan becomes the quintessence of violence.
While in a cramped room, these three move in a furious dance of martial arts until it ends with the death of one of them.
2. "The Dark Knight: Revival of the Legend", the final battle with Bane
The Batman Christopher Nolan trilogy is one of the best superhero movies of the 21st century. And the final chapter did not disappoint the audience.
In the final battle between the Dark Knight of Gotham and the criminals from Blackgate Prison, taking place while the city was balancing on the verge of destruction, hundreds of extras took part. And the tense struggle between Batman and Bane was very dramatic, because each of these heroes defended what was dear to him and what he believed.
1. "Avengers: Final", the battle with Thanos
What is worthy to lead the selection of the best fighting movie scenes of the decade? Of course, the epic finale of the beloved Marvel franchise. What began ten years ago came to an incredibly spectacular, pathos, and vivid conclusion, and Robert Downey Jr. left with it. in the role of Iron Man.
The battle of the revived Avengers with Thanos is the moment that Russian and foreign fans were looking forward to. And from which they were delighted judging by the high ratings on Kinopoisk (7.60 points out of 10) and IMDb (8.50 out of 10). In the words of the character of the film: "Where more?".
