This one does it for me. I remember getting chills when I saw it in theaters!

Rob Roy grabbing dude's sword by the blade and using his to slash down half his body from the collarbone.
The plunger to the face was perfect.. oh Jim in his prime
I liked the beginning of Troy where Achilles just runs at this nasty mountain of a man, drops him with one blow while keeping his stare on the mass of troops ahead of him.
Anyone else? Anyone? No? lol
This one is pretty extreme. Not an action scene but you'd have to be pretty badassed on some level to do something like that...

starts about 1min 45 seconds into the video.
I was going to post this.
I can't think of a better scene that shows the "No. This fucker has to die" do-or-die situation.
He holds on and is probably gettin it to the bone, pulls off a one hand cut that any feudal samurai would be proud of. Exactly the kind of tenacity one develops from having to crawl up a bloated cows decomposing ass.
Roth gets props for that movie though, perfect as Archie.
Aliens fight scene Ripley vs. Queen is up there though, no argument there.

Best knife fight scene I have ever seen in a movie.
I need your clothes your boots and your motorcycle scene from t2. Best evar
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6zURDyDlwgOP...I saw the thread title...a few seconds thought...and that EXACT scene was what I was thinking of. For pure badass character and badass reveal and badass fight.
Now the close cousin to badass scene is the goosebumps from awesomeness scene.
Star Wars trench run.
SDF-1 lifting off for one final shot against Khyron.
Despite my hatred of the prequels, the Darth Maul/Qui Gon/Obi Wan duel near the end of Episode 1.
A good number of Clint's movies have some good badassery, but that is more due to him being an example of pure testosterone laced badassness.
Also..."I'm not left-handed either."
Oh yeah...A world of cardboard.
I'm trying to think of scenes where I jumped out of my seat going "fuck yeah" vs scenes where the music/score made it badass. There's a huge difference.
I have the complete Robotech: Remastered dvd collection.You are my Hero of Tonight, as awkward as that sounds :awe: :hmm:
edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI_ozzN-isQ&t=16m9s <--at about the 17 minute mark the overall awesomeness and the fact that this show had music worthy of any film or television show come together and I get chills every time.
Been rewatching it lately...just started The New Generation saga...it holds up pretty good...it was always more than just a kids show at heart.
Badass due to the length of the continuous shot in a fight scene:

Rorschach.
i have NEVER seen a more badass declaration of badassness. ever. that goes for 10 years of watching anime, watching movies, and living life in general.
Pretty crappy acting by DL and BL in that one (I skipped ahead to 1:45)
