Bad-ass moments in movies

Theoden: Èomer. Take your éored down the left flag. Gamling, follow the King's banner down the center. Grimbold, take your company right, after you pass the wall. Forth. Down fear of darkness. Arise. Arise, Riders of Théoden. Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered. A sore day... a red day... ere the sun rises.
Eowyn: What ever happens, stay with me. I'll look after you.
[The King rides past his men, hitting their spears with his sword as he goes.]
Theoden: Ride now... Ride now... Ride. Ride for ruin and the world's ending.
[He stops and prepares to face Sauron's army.]
Theoden: Death.
Rohirrim: Death.
Theoden: Death.
Rohirrim: Death.
Theoden: DEATH.
Èowyn and Merry: Death.
Theoden: FORTH, EORLINGAS!

The speech is badass, but the visual of the Rohirrim, charging, hopelessly outnumbered and exhausted from riding night and day to get there in time, into the black sea of Sauron's hordes was one of the most stirring moments in modern cinema. Maybe it's just because they were convinced to a man that they were going to die, and Theoden feared that the descendants of Eorl would meet their end. Epic. Dylan Thomas stuff.

That was a great scene.

Gandalf blocking the Balrogs passage on the bridge was great as well in Fellowship. LOTR had many great moments.

Shawshank Redemption when you hear that he had to crawl through that river of ****** to get out, that whole 15 minutes is just incredible. Guess thats why it's in my top 3 movies.

I haven't read the entire post but..

in the movie Army of Darkness when all the knights are going after him and he takes out his shotgun and shoots off the blade entirely..
"This is my BOOMSTICK."

also later on.. when he shoots the evil Ash and he's like..

"Good. Bad. I'm the one with the gun"

every other good moment has already been quoted it seems..

Terminator 2........ the whole movie!! well actually......

when Sarah Connor runs out of ammo in the last part and the liquid terminator does the "no no" with his finger

so badass.

I liked the moment when Ahnuld comes around the corner and Sarah sees him for the first time in the movie. Her reaction is great.

Agree

Don't know if this one's been mentioned yet... but:

In "Dark City", when John Murdoch gets a brain-dump of all the technology of the aliens from the doctor, then it comes to the end... and he stands up, carelessly tossing aside the metal restraints as if they were nothing, it is BAD ASS.

after the alien invasion is over , and they come back upstairs. And Mel Gibson goes into the closet to get the tv to show his son , who is recovering from a bad asthma attack , how people are rejoicing that we had defeated the invaders...
and he comes out of the room , and freezes...you see the reflection of the alien holding his son in the tv....
then his brother comes into the room with the syringe of medicine for him...and drops it.
Then the flashbacks of when his wife died , and she tells Meryl to "swing away"....And at that moment when it all makes sense to him...and he looks at his brother , and tells him to remind Meryl to "swing away"....the shot where his brother turn his head to look at his prize bat with the longest homerun record under it.. and you see him take the bat in his hands....when you see his fists tighten on that bat it gave me chills. And does just thinking about it again.

Anyone else think about that?

No! That movie is fvcking ******!

"Yeah, we're super-intelligent aliens who have mastered space travel and we've landed on this planet to take it over 'cos it's nice, despite the fact that we die in when in contact with fvcking water. No matter that planet is 2/3 covered in it, and it's raining all the time + general humidity... no, should be sound... lets go for it. I hope noone splashes us!"

Tardtastic.

For me it has to be the revaltion in the Korean film 'old boy' when he realises what/who he's done, then proceeds to cut his own tongue out with a pair os scissors. Heavy stuff, but the movie is fantastic.

Go watch it!

Question: in the version of the curb scene you guys have seen, do you actually see it happen? When I see it, you see the lad bite the curb, then it cuts to ed norton who then stamps, but you don't see the guy's face get all wrecked or anyhting...

The end of the car chase in Bourne Supremacy

It's pretty silly of me I know, but there's a nasty scene in "Communion" (if anyone saw that movie) that gave me the creeps: a grey skinned oval alien head peeks out from behind a furniture piece in a dark room. That's just unfair.

Alien3: the scene where the four legged alien puts its head an inch close to Ripley's.

Apocalypse Now: the execution scene is quite harsh

Gladiator: the conversion between Commodus and Marcus preceding Marcus's death is extremly believable and moving

Below: the scene with the deep charge bouncing along the submarine's top side

Close Encounters of the Third Kind: the scene in which the woman (with a child) tries to hide from the aliens and the camre dives in the chimney towards them

Equilibrium: the betrayal part (in the church) is disturbing

Matrix: awakening scene

ConAir: Steve Buscemi and the little girl

Infernal Affairs: the moment Wong dies



and finally (not) the scene with the "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

ouu yeah, i agree. plus the monologue that followed it.

"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."

Wow. Chills down my spine as I read that.

the Mortal Kombat theme ... sent chills down my spine when I was younger

I just watched a movie last night that is perfect for this list. It's called Sword of Doom. What a badass movie. Tatsuya Nakadai plays one cold blooded samurai in it. A couple of times in the movie the hair stood up on the back of my neck because of Nakadai's great performance.
