Definately the chainsaw scene in Scarface... What do you think?

I cant say for certain.
BUt I will give two.
ONe is in John Carpenter's Precint 13.
Little girls walks up to Ice Cream truck and asks
"Can I have a Swirly cone please?"
Bad guy on the other side of the truck does a "no look" shot thru the window into little girls chest on the other side drops her Dead As Dickens.

The second is in Natural born KIllers
They are in the interveiw room in the prison.
Woody is telling the little Johnny joke, as reaches the climax of the joke and shouts "Little Johnny NO!!!" as everyone starts to laugh he elbows a guard in the face, disarms another, what makes the scene is not the action perse' rather it is the music cut-in when his elbow hits the officer in the mouth- The signature grunt of Zach De le Rocha kicks into gear with a perfect Rage Against the Machine song, the best music cut-in in hollywood in my opinion.

Has anyone seen "Payback"? I think the scene where Porter is standing behind the hitmen's car and casually throws his cigarette down and blows them up is a pretty damn badass scene.

oh oho oh
King of New York
Lawrence FIshburn is dealing with comumbians.
He hands them a brief case which is supposed to be full of money.
He sets the case on the table and turns it towards the columbian.
The Columbian opens the case and it is full of tampons.
"What the hell are all these tampons for?!!"

To which Fishburns character replies
"The bullet holes puta."
and you can guess what happens next.

Mean Guns.
The scene where they hand everyone baseball bats.

Gone in 60 seconds.
Sphynx blows up Master P's car.

The coffee shop scene at the end of Pulp Fiction. Jules explains the meaning of his infamous Ezekial 25:17. Also, the second scene, where Jules and Vincent blow Brett away.

Good one. That too.

Final scene in Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid

"Wait a minute - you didn't see LaForce out there did you?"
"LaForce? No, why?"
"Thank God for that. For a moment there I thought we were in trouble."

Vinnie Jones stamping that guy's head in 'Lock Stock and Two smoking Barrels'
Clint Eastwood in 'Unforgiven' - "All right now, I'm comin' out. Any man I see out there, I'm gonna shoot him. Any sumbitch takes a shot at me, I'm not only gonna kill him, but I'm gonna kill his wife. All his friends. Burn his damn house down."
Ben Kinsley shaving in 'Sexy Beast', or his classic: "Not this time, Gal. Not this time. Not this fucking time. No. No no no no no no no no no! No! No no no no no no no no no no no no no! No! Not this fucking time! No fucking way! No fucking way, no fucking way, no fucking way! You've made me look a right ****!"

The swordfight scene between Inigo Montoya and the Man in Black from The Princess Bride. Definitely most badass. :D

the final scene in mccabe and mrs. miller

the scene in deadman where john depps is asked if he's william blake, he shoots them down and says "yes. do you know my poetry" also the final scene in that movie.

the final scene in blood simple

The 7 minute long fight scene between Roddy Piper and Keith David in John Carpenter's "They Live".

However, I have a feeling that the fight between Obiwan Kenobi and Anikan Skywalker in the upcoming Revenge of the Sith is gonna be epic.

The shoot-out after the bank robbery in "Heat".

When Mr. Blond is torturing the cop. He turns the radio to KBLLY with Steven Wright as the DJ who introduces "Stuck in the Middle." Mr. Blond does a sort of dance walk before slicing off the police officer's left ear and then gets gasoline from his trunk to burn him.

Amen, but don't foget the best part, when my man Mr. Orange blows his ass away before he can light it.

they live is a seriously under rated movie

they live is a seriously under rated movie

No kiddin'! I love that film ... and I want some of those glasses!

Most of the entire move "Equalibrium".

If you havent seen this movie..your missing the best action film of the last ten years.


The plot is even really good, too.

Very Orwellian.

When Walter beats up the "nazi's" outside the bowling alley in the big lebowski.

While I like Tarrinto films, I think the great before cliched fighting the agents in The Matrix is superior.

Apparently too few people have seen Scarface... otherwise you'd agree.

The swordfight scene between Inigo Montoya and the Man in Black from The Princess Bride. Definitely most badass. :D
I forgot what I had in mind to post when I saw this.
This may not be the baddest but it tops what I had in mind.
Great scene.
"...now prepare to die."

Great ones with black performers is the when Snipes executes his friend "I am my brother's keeper?" in New Jack City and when Gooding tells Cruise to "Show me the money!"

Apparently too few people have seen Scarface... otherwise you'd agree.


Great Movie.

Who dont love Pacino?

BUT........as far as ass kicking goes........Equilibrium was better.

Scarface was a better movie, though.

Apparently too few people have seen Scarface... otherwise you'd agree.

The chainsaw scene is badass, no doubt, but the 'pelican' scene is obviously the best in that entire movie.

"Hey Manny look at the pelican fly! Come on pelican!"

"Hello!

My name is Inigo Montoya.....you killed my father.
Prepare to die."

The chainsaw scene is badass, no doubt, but the 'pelican' scene is obviously the best in that entire movie.

"Hey Manny look at the pelican fly! Come on pelican!"
Huh? Refresh my memory...

I thought Scarface has some great ones too... when he kills the guy who will blow up children, when he shouts his best friend for marrying his sister, and of course, the big staircase fight and execution scene.

I don't remember the pelican either.

Huh? Refresh my memory...

Tsk tsk. And you claim to know scarface? Watch it again.

"Hello!

My name is Inigo Montoya.....you killed my father.
Prepare to die."


"inconceivable"

"you keep using that word, i don't think that word means what you think it does"

paraphrasing but...

Apparently too few people have seen Scarface... otherwise you'd agree.
I know scar face front to back.
The CHainsaw scene isnt even the best scene in that movie.

There is the scene where the guy is hung from the helicopter and Tony
"I neva trus 'im"

OR

"Do you know what a hassa is frank?
A hassa is a pig what dont fly straight.

PLease tony, please dont kill me!!!

"I not gunna kill you frank,"
Frank mumbles some thanks
"Manalo, choot dis piece a shit."

Both of those scenes are far better then the chainsaw.
or when tony kills the columbian hit man in the car.
Priceless.
Scarface is simply an unfair movie for this thread.
The whole movie is one amazing scene.

"inconceivable"

"you keep using that word, i don't think that word means what you think it does"

paraphrasing but...


"G'BYE Boys! Have fun storming the castle."

Also, the scene in Scarface with Ernie.

"You wanna job Ernie?"

"Hey Ernie, you got a job!"

I love that scene.

Oooh how about the scene in Godfather 2... where Vito travels back to Corleone, Sicily...

And he comes up to the Don who murdered his father, and says that he wants his blessings to start an olvie oil company back in America... but since the Don is pretty much deaf... When the Don asks the real name of Vito Andolini, Vito whispers it. So he motions Vito to come closer... and then Vito says... My name is Vito Andolini and he guts the old Don with a knife. Right across his fat belly!

Just plain awesome...

i'm sorry i like scarface but its basically an over the top remake that lets pacino chew the scenery to pieces for nearly 3 hours. its alot of fun, but its not exactly great.

Yeah... you're right... but I still think the chainsaw scene is one of the most beautifully thought up scenes in the movie... Its just so badass...

Yeah theres a lot of good scenes in the movie... but I still think the chainsaw scene is the baddest...

Probably the most badass scene with a kiss in it is also from The Godfather 2, when Michael kisses Fredo, and powerfully whispers to him, "I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!"

You are a monster! How dare you blaspheme a masterpiece such as Scarface!

Yeah theres a lot of good scenes in the movie... but I still think the chainsaw scene is the baddest...

What about the last scene where he falls into the blood red pool after getting shot in the back with a shotgun? I think that tops the chainsaw scene. If I had to pick a death scene, that one tops the charts.

Due to it being 2:12 AM i cant think of the ultimate bad ass scene but i has a plain old bad ass one:

The scene in gladiator when he is fighting the caesar dude in the white. When Maximus busts out that three punch combo and his elbow. Its priceless.

Probably the most badass scene with a kiss in it is also from The Godfather 2, when Michael kisses Fredo, and powerfully whispers to him, "I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!"

Or how about the Baptism and a Murder scene... where Michael cleans up... (in the first one.... btw)

Have you seen the original?!!??
The original given the era of its release is far more "over the top"
That is the intention.
And the subtlty of the film is amazing.
A very layered piece of work.
A pity you only see gun shots and big booms.

Yeah... i suppose... but if you wanna go for the ending than its best to talk about the classic scene where Tony busts down the door with the gernade launcher... "Say hello to mah little friend!"

In Godfather Part 1, don't forget the infamous hit on Sonny at the gate. Pure mafioso goodness. The execution of the heads of the five families is still the best scene in that movie. Mo Green with the bullet through his eye? Fat Clamenza and the shotgun in the box? Priceless.

Yeah thats the baptism and a murder scene I mentioned.

pacino is capable of subtlety, de palma i'm not so sure about. he can be alot of fun but he's basically a pulp director.

Yeah thats the baptism and a murder scene I mentioned.

I know, but it was so good, I had to metion it a second time.

The Magnificent Seven.
Also Seven Samurai.
I knwo the former is a rip on the latter but they are both badass films.

Oooh how am I forgetting A Clockwork Orange...

That movie is full off bad ass scenes. But out of all the raping and beating... I still think the best scene is the very beginning with the zoom in on Alex's eye... with the weird lines that he wears under it... It just looks chillingly evil...

ooh the singing in,the rain scene, that changed the meaning of that song for me forever. to bad malcolm macdowel became pretty much a hack, he ruled in the day. also ecellent in "if..." and "oh lucky man".

Now that we're on Kubrick... The famous axe through the door scene!

And Pyle's homocide/suicide in Full Metal Jacket.

Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction when he escapes from the gimpman, and then sees the samuri sword.

BEST EVIL EYE EVER!

In Kill Bill Volume 1, where O'Ren Ishii and her gang are walking down the hall into the tea house in slow motion, and the theme is playing. That scene was amazing. That whole movie was a haven for badass.

Any scene with Hal in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Hal steals that film in a way that R2-D2 could only hope to imitate in the original Star Wars trilogy.

I saw it yesterday... it was better than I expected...

But if you're going with a badass scene in that movie... It's gotta be the ankle slash of Buck and his death by door.

Or ripping that guy's tongue out. She killed everyone at the end. That has to count for something. Sword fight at the end of that movie was so amazing.

Yeah I guess... its just Tarantino shouldn't have tried to make certain things so graphic... the limb cutting off parts... were just so brutally fake... with the little streams of blood... It was kinda annoying: my only real qualm with the movie...

He did that on purpose. I think the reason was to lighten the atmosphere a bit, sort of a tongue in cheek joke. It was either make it not so graphic (impossible! it's a Tarrantino flick.) or go totally over the top.

Don't know about movies, but I got some games.

That cutscene in "Mafia" when they were singing "Where do gangstas go when they die?" that's so cool.

Oooh, and when that dead horse head was on that guy's bed, priceless >_>

And don't forget when Clint Eastwood pointed his .44 at that criminal, saying that almighty phrase "Do ya feel lucky punk? Well do ya?"

Collateral when Tom Cruise is standing over the two guys he shot that stole his bag, and one of them is flinching on the ground still. So he shoots him again i love it

Meh... I understand it was intended to look sorta cartoony in parts... to good effect on the most part... but the blood streams really annoyed me...

Yeah, we could have done without, but I thought some of that was pretty funny. I especially liked the black and white section of the fight scene. A nice throwback.

I liked the anime sequence thing... it was awesomely integrated into the movie... And deliciously bloody.

The part in Kill Bill 2 where Budd's writhing around on the floor in that pile of money after the Black Mamba gets him and Elle sits there and reads him those facts about the snake was pretty badass in my opinion.

The scene in Seven Samurai where you see Kyuzo for the first time in the duel. Guy runs at him, katana above his head (Seven Samurai had the most badass swords ever, longer things than normal movie samurai), Kyuzo stands there, flick of the sword, all of a sudden the guy is dead.

Also, the scene where you first see Kakihara in Ichi the Killer just defines badass, when he blows the smoke out of his chins. Class.
