10 Epic Action Sequences That You Can Watch Over And Over Again

If you go on Wikipedia – or any other analogous website of your choosing – and check the list of highest-grossing films of all time, you might make a (not so) shocking discovery: it’s an action extravaganza! Indeed, aside from a couple occasional flicks about Ice Queens, talking toys and sinking ships (the last of which, by the way, I have no idea why it’s there), the whole list is dominated by action movies. You have your Avengers, your Pirates, your Transformers and so and so on. In fact, about 16 of the 19 movies that have made over a billion dollars worldwide are categorized as – you guessed it – action.

6) Beginning – Skyfall

After Quantum of Solace turned out to be a saddening disappointment – aka: it sucked big time – the filmmakers really needed to step up their game for the next instalment. Luckily… they did. And they proved it right from the get-go.

Taking place in the oh-so-familiar-by-now-Istanbul, the opening sequence of Skyfall has Bond (James Bond) chase down a mercenary who stole the plotline of the fourth Mission Impossible. The chase carries on from the rooftops of the Grand Bazaar to the crowded streets and finally onto a moving train.

What can I say about this one? There’s guns, motorbikes, cars (Audis and VW Beetles), cops, crashes and hand-to-hand combat. What’s not to love?
