Closed Film and TV threads

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Good answers! I remember watching Chow Yun Fat blowing away people on the escalator because they were in the way!

Damn, I guess I better see the Limey.

This question is partly motivated by just watching Clive Owen in Shoot 'Em Up.

But (trusting my gut):

Clint Eastwood in The Unforgiven
Bruce Lee with nunchuks
Aragorn facing down the Uruk Hai at Amon Hen
Michael Caine giving the "I do this every day" speech" in Get Carter
Val Kilmer in Tombstone: "I'm your huckleberry."
Buffy stopping Angelus' sword two inches from her face
Brock Sampson turning an anal cavity search into mayhem.
Daniel Craig in Casino Royale in the opening parkour chase.
Cochise (the bigger black guy) of The Warriors in the bathroom scene, and also against the Baseball Furies.
Matt Damon as Jason Bourne in the Paris apartment scene from Bourne Identity.

Ooh, Cash is with me on two.

Good call on Geena.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

(Pssst... it's "I'm your huckleberry" and "You're a daisy if you do")

The brief shot where Val Kilmer shrugs off Wyatt's coat and points the shotgun at the boys in the OK Corral.

Oops, Emmett will never forgive my lapse.

Damn, I guess I better see the Limey.

Oh my g*d, yes. I have it if you want to borrow it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sarah Connor in T2.

The pullups alone!

But then then the whole escape scene with those biceps. Yeow.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Who's your cinematic badass? And what's their most badass scene?

The king cobra I'm currently watching on Animal Planet. They eat other snakes. It's bitten a python, which then constricts the crap out of him (not literally). It hangs on, trusting that its venom will dispatch the python before it suffocates.

A few dozen Asian giant hornets taking out an entire bee's nest also qualifies.

Of course, now I'm watching SYTYCD and I've gone to a Pulp Fiction place.

ETA: Opening dance is to "Comanche" by The Revels.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

This question is partly motivated by just watching Clive Owen in Shoot 'Em Up.

Hee. He is pretty damn badass.

Christian Bale in Equilibrium.
