Favourite Battle-scene(s) in a Movie?
Mine would have to be the beginning of Gladiator, 2nd battle of Braveheart, Final Battle of The Patriot and the beginning of Enemy At The Gates. Also, the D-day landing on SPR and Beginning of The Mummy Returns gets honourable mention.
|
...and I posted in the wrong forum, Joe or any other mod please move this to the OT.
|
OMG innoxx posted in the wrong forum, i better get a screen shot. biggrin:
|
...and I have reached a new low.
|
tsk tsk... hake:
the minister of n00b affairs will have a field day with this |
Post in the right forum puppy raper
Just thought id say that. Anyways, back to topic, im gonna have to say the D-Day battle in the beginning of SPR, and the part in we were soldiers where the planes drop bombs in the open feild. |
I would have to say, the underrated film, "WindTalkers". The scene were they storm Saipan, that was great. And in the movie, "We Were Soldiers". Were they go into battle and have to stay over night.

Moved to Offtopic.
The matrix dojo scene. |
Pretty much all of Black Hawk Down, D-Day SPR, Matrix Subway, Tears of the Sun (the last battle scene), Band of Brothers (when they destroy the arty guns on D-Day)
|
Pearl Harbor Attack, Pearl Harbor
Okay, now that you've scrolled down to try and flame me, I will change that to Omaha Invasion, Saving Private Ryan |
My favorite was the space battle in Return of the Jedi, but there are so many good ones it hard to pick.
|
the LORT battle at middle earth, the opening of SPR on D day and also the ending battle in SPR, moslty all the battle scenes in brave heart,
|
Ya, the LOTR had some pretty coo battles.
|
The Two towers final battle was the best by far.
|
D00d, seriously. . .this says it all.

My favorite by order.
1. The beggining Scene of Gladiator 2.The D-Day for SPR 3.Battle of Helms Deep in LOTR |
I haven't watched that movie in freakin' years man. That scene was great.
|
JOe that's a fight scene not a battle scene.
SPR is good, so realistic. First battle in the Patriot. Excellent shot by a cannon. Zulu. Final encounter with the Zulu's. Enemy at the Gates. Russians charge Germans. LOTR. Prologue Battle. Helm's Deep. |

What did he have to do to play the orc? Like put on an entire body suit? I know the far off shots must have been CG cuz theres just too many of them, but thats cool. biggrin:
|
He musta been pretty beefy to play Uruk-Hai
|
I'd say either when Spiers charges in the town of Foy, on BoB, or when the helicopter comes over the hill and mows down some VC's in We Were Soldiers

A couple of mine that hasn't been mentioned yet is...
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Where the two sisters are fighting near the end, and the evil sister has the powerful Green Destiny Sword, which is whooping the other ones ass... The good sister goes through all sorts of weapons to try and defeat her... Really cool. The Matrix X100... Also, I feel the battle sequences in The Thin Red Line (Newer Version) are among the very best... The entirety of the drawn out 45 minute hill-battle, Two scouts go forward, and are killed... Everyone gets down... Everythings still, peaceful... Then as that one Luietenant jumps up and is riddled by bullets, harrowing stuff... Storming that Japanese camp, being in the fog... and hearing the bullets whizing past... fucking creepy... Hans Zimmer's score really adds something here... Then, there's the sequence on the river bed, where Pvt. Witt is killed... That's probably my favourite... I cried when that happened, he was a great guy... :( |
My favourite WW2 scene would have be in Enemy at the Gates when Vassilli gets that silly unscoped moisin nagants and managed to knock of 5 or so Krauts in the the process... amazing stuff
|
The final battle in SPR, Helm's Deep, and a shitload of others that i probly cant remember right now
I think to be a great battle scene there needs to be a short period of forboding before the battle, so the tension gradual rises. |

Enemy at the Gates was so unrealistic as far as sniping is concerned its not even funny. |
Battle for Umm Qasr this morning live on TV. Very interesting to see everything getting shot up.

In BoB when Speirs charges straight through the Germans to get in contact with a Platoon around the city, then he runs back through and the Germans just stand there looking at him all confused.
|
The ambush scene in Forrest Gump
The last fight scene in Platoon All the scenes in Predator (Especially the part when that guy gets shot, and all the other soldiers come up and light up the forrest) Fight at Carentan in BoB |
My favourite realistic battle is what I am currently watching on cnn or sky news
|
Bored, what does the thread title say?
