Everybody loves a great action movie, right? When a filmmaker executes all the elements of a truly exciting action sequence to the best of their ability, it’s exhilarating to watch. In fact, when you’re sitting in a cinema watching George Miller pull off mind-boggling feats that you can’t quite comprehend in Mad Max: Fury Road or watching Tom Cruise defy death itself in Mission: Impossible, it feels like pure cinema.
Over the years, there have been countless action sequences that fans will put on any list of the best the genre has to offer. From the hallway fight in Oldboy to the freeway chase in The Matrix Reloaded, and from the shootout in Heat to the showdown at the House of Blue Leaves in Kill Bill, great action can cement a film’s place in the public consciousness.
But what about the action scenes that don’t go down in history? There have been plenty of films that have given their audience stunning sequences that, for whatever reason, haven’t stuck around in the culture as much. Indeed, some of these scenes come in movies that otherwise couldn’t be described as action films, and perhaps that is why they find themselves slightly forgotten.
Here is a list of ten greatest action scenes that no one ever talks about. Hopefully, it can shine a light of some lesser known sequences that deserve to be thought of in the same breath as the classics.
