#INDIAN ACTION MOVIE SHOTGUN CAR COPS FULL#
And besides, in this memorable moment, where the evil Scorpio has commandeered a school bus full of kids, it’s Eastwood himself who leaps from a bridge and onto the speeding vehicle’s roof. Its shoot-outs and stunts may seem a little low-key by modern, post-CG standards, but they merely add to the film’s veneer of realism. The film that provided Clint Eastwood with one of his signature roles, and would go on to define the modern cop movie for decades afterwards, Dirty Harry remains a grungy, violent action thriller. Third, no comic book movies – the quantity and quality of such films has been so exceptional in recent years, they’re probably better off with a list of their own.
Action movies with sci-fi, fantasy or comedy elements are fine, but space operas with action elements (sorry, Star Wars franchise) and dramas with glimmers of pulse-racing violence ( The Godfather, Michael Mann’s Heat) are out of the running, too. Second, only movies that are in the action genre first and foremost actually qualify. To this end, we’ve established a few arbitrary rules: one, that the movies in question have to be live-action – so the wonderful downhill chase sequence from last year’s Tintin, for example, is out of the running. As we quickly discovered, the sheer number of classic moments in the genre’s history makes whittling them down to 50 extremely tricky. You’d think that compiling a list of memorable action movie moments would be quite simple, since there are so many violent, exciting, funny and downright bizarre nuggets to choose from.
