eventually catching up too high after
escaping an attack in a grocery store
thank you honey but you really didn’t
have to do this number eight the news
channels war anchorman The Legend of Ron
Burgundy go to the zoo flip off the
monkeys no buy new suits
you know what it’s like you’re out suit
shopping with your news team and
suddenly you’re ambushed by rival
anchors trying to take over your turf as
San Diego’s number one source for news
via comes true with the ground rules
established no touching of the hair or
face a diverse roster of news men
wielding an equally impressive arsenal
of weapons engages in a gladiatorial
conflict befitting the Coliseum boasting
a cameo density only surpassed by the
sequel this scene sees Steve Carell
demonstrate his proficiency with a
trident while Tim Robbins hacks off Luke
Wilson’s arm after the Channel 4 News
team escapes intact
Ron sips a well-earned brew while
uttering those immortal words boy that
escalated quickly number 7 what through
windshield pineapple Express thank you
though the first guy that I ever sold to
that became friends with sale installs
budding friendship pun intended had only
just begun to blossom while they hung
out in a tree but such moments of peace
would soon end for the two stoners at
the hands of Carol the crooked cop when
Dale’s caught smoking he gets thrown in
the back of another officers Cruiser
only for Saul to hijack the car with a
painful improvised distraction oh what
the hell was that
Oh what is that with Carol now on their
tail
all attempts to destroy the slushy
covered windshield with wildly
ineffectual results oh there we go for
bike boy although Saul manages to
withdraw his protruding foot to a
conventional position the pair can only
thank Blind Luck for making their
slow-mo practical effects driven escape
successful
number six sixty cars two brothers one
chief the Blues Brothers
Jake and Elwood had already leveled a
shopping mall and ticked off police
Nazis and everyone else they encountered
before they’d even made their final bid
to complete their mission from God
with a full tank of gas the $5,000 to
save the orphanage and dozens of angry
pursuers in tow the Bluesmobile defies
gravity to get the unflustered brothers
to city hall in time
most of the 60 police vehicles in the
monster chase are completely trashed as
the scale of the carnage expands to
include a military presence never before
seen in Chicago they’re repurposed
cruiser may fall apart but the Boise
made everything Midwest law enforcement
has got in order to fulfill their
promise
number five real cartoon carnage Who
Framed Roger Rabbit quit second item
when a scene is described as cartoonish
critics are usually using the term to
negatively describe ridiculous heavy
action similar to melt cartoons for this
animation live action hybrid however
that’s precisely what director Robert
Zemeckis was going for back better I
can’t believe they lock me up and
driving on a sidewalk to escape dooms
weasel henchman Roger and valiant catch
a ride in Benny a toon cab with a
stereotypical gab of a real-life taxi
driver Rockland diamond I’m a farmer why
having impossibly weaved through heavy
1940 zero traffic they are pinned in an
alley by two cops and the weasels with
no apparent way to escape I’m going to
of course this is the world where
cartoons and humans live in relative
harmony without the restrictions of
regular physics
so Benny becomes the trio spring-loaded
Savior well fellas Gretchen I got
somewhere we can uh number for the
actors versus the flaming dragon gang
Tropic Thunder
they have no clue what they’re doing no
real weapons and barely a brain cell
between them but does that stop this
group of Hollywood stars from their
improvised rescue of Tugg Speedman hello
despite port noise furious fists of
heroin Lazarus is unconvincing roofs and
a whole lot of fake gunfire it seems
that their efforts will be for naught
when Speedman elects to stay with the
gang and his adopted son half-squat that
decision is rapidly reversed as his new
child turns on him forcing his retreat
over the explosive rigged bridge but
that’s not all there’s still plenty of
time for pecker to emerge from the
jungle and save everyone on the chopper
with a well-aimed TiVo box number three
freeway chase 21 Jump Street I check
around for colorful they are beginning
the tradition of ridiculous chase setups
that would carry over to the sequel
Schmidt in a Peter Pan outfit and Jenko
wearing a hoodie meant for a science
project allow their personal feud to
ruin the covert pursuit of a drug
peddling biker gang job they soon ditch
their double steering wheel car in
favour of a convertible containing golf
balls giving Jenko the chance to show
off his powerful serve
after we’re teased by two hilarious non
explosions an innocuous truck of
chickens comes into view as schmidt
struggles to pull the trigger on the
gangs apparent head honcho it’s the
fabled Wilhelm scream that finally
ushers in our long-awaited explosion
badly blowing up some innocent poultry
in the process number two the amusement
park Massacre Zombieland
Pacific Playland might not be the
typical setting for the climax to a
zombie flick but it is the perfect
platform for a number of kill of the
week candidates to lure the horde away
from Wichita in Little Rock’s
Tallahassee demonstrates his ability to
slaughter the undead inventively
exploiting different rides while the
sisters blast away any zombies brave
enough to clamor towards them
the slow-mo kicks in as Tallahassee
makes a last stand against a ravenous
swarm and Columbus does what some people
would like to do to an evil clown in a
rarity for the genre no living being has
a chunk nibbled awesome a happy end to a
gory post-apocalyptic day out okay
probably head out now
before we reveal our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions
but on the way
number one showdown in the country Hot
Fuzz you’re a doctor
deal with it Edgar Wright has nailed his
action comedy recipe the toilet fight
from the World’s End is damn slick yet
it can’t beat the bloody conclusion to
the second installment of the three
flavours Cornetto trilogy channeling the
collective spirit of the blockbuster
action movies they worship sergeant
angel and constable butterman dawn their
shades to end the rule of Sanford’s
corrupt neighborhood watch
we’re whisked around the villages
hotspots as members of the watch are
dramatically taken down in a sequence
that includes but is not limited to lots
of guns supermarket carts a swan and
several biting one-liners i distracted
into a cuddly monkey and then I said
playtime’s over it’s a Hollywood worthy
finale but the fact that it takes place
in such ordinarily mundane locations
makes it a distinctive standard-setting
sequence for the genre
