let’s end this on a high note I need a
perimeter as far back as 39 welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 final
battles in action movies before we begin
we publish new videos every day so be
sure to subscribe for more great content
for this list we’re looking at the
finales of action movies we’re a great
number of combatants square off let’s
just not come in tomorrow Oh sis take a
day however we’re only considering
large-scale multi-person skirmishes and
not one-on-one confrontation so action
flicks like the raid 2 despite its
spectacular final kitchen fight are not
eligible by the way a spoiler alert is
probably in order enough to swing
through the to number 10 heroine factory
battle Tropic Thunder
well technically an action comedy this
film nonetheless emphasizes the former
of that description to great effects for
this all-out balls-to-the-wall
extravaganza of combat and hilarious
one-liners it’s all the more
entertaining to consider that our heroes
aren’t actually soldiers with years of
military experience but are just actors
somehow miraculously surviving the
hordes of gunfire and adversaries
they’re up against it all caps off with
the money shot of one big explosion
because those are a must in the genre as
Tugg Speedman darts across the bridge
just as it is blown to bits behind it
it’s certainly a thunderous way to kick
off our list number 9 r.i.p Dockyard a
better tomorrow when a trade between
officers of the law and try a gangster’s
goes horribly awry you can be sure that
there will be a few casualties in the
ensuing showdown okay a lot of
casualties ok the entire dot gets blown
to smithereens legendary action director
John Woo is penchant for huge explosions
sensational stunts and loads of gunfire
are all present in this grand finale
nearly everything that can blow up does
blow up at some point creating the
atmosphere of a large-scale war zone in
a tightly packed location it’s quite the
spectacle and we can’t think of a better
way to close off a better tomorrow ok
number eight NW a shootout Hot Fuzz
morning in order to successfully bring
down a corrupt cult-like organization
and end their reign over a small British
town officers Nick Angel and Danny
butterman’s decide to play bad cop and
load up for a shootout that borders on
both thrilling excitement and zany
insanity the shootout rages in every
location imaginable from the streets
themselves to inside of the grocery
stores the chaos on display reaches
ludicrous levels of violence but what
really helps elevate this finale from
just another shootout is that it isn’t
shy to poke fun at other popular action
films like Point Break they win in the
end but the town is going to have 1/2
you repair a belt I’ll feel like I
should have sized something small number
7 50 Cal Rambo refusing to back down
against a ruthless military regime John
Rambo takes the fight to them by
commandeering a mounted and 2 browning
machine gun and completely annihilating
the enemy forces below after watching
the brutal struggles that Rambo had to
endure in the movie up to this point
it’s satisfying to see him finally rise
up against the bad guys by hitting them
hard and hating them fast providing them
with just as little mercy as they do
towards their missionary captives the
bullet tear through the soldiers as if
they were made of paper shredding them
to pieces with blood and bloody parts
flying in all directions
it’s gory it’s outrageous and it’s very
Rambo number 6 Battle of New York The
Avengers what house did I take orders
for this was it the moment Marvel fans
have been clamoring for their favorite
heroes assemble together on the big
screen against a larger threat and the
moment did not disappoint the action
makes great use of each Avengers
individual skill set helping to maintain
a sense of flair and excitement during
the entirety of this super powered
climax the big standout is a continuous
shot that manages to feature all of the
Avengers fending off the Chitauri
invasion perfectly demonstrating the
large scale of the battle and the
awesome power that Earth’s Mightiest
Heroes have to fight them off is anyone
else creating swarm after this there’s a
swarm of joint about two blocks from
your number 5 final chase Mad Max fury
road remember the George Miller’s
relentlessly thrilling vision of a
post-apocalyptic world may have already
left you breathless by the time the
ending
around but the film manages to squeeze
in one last ride packed with crashes
fire explosions and total madness with
the fighters jumping between vehicles
and exchanging incredibly violent blows
not to mention the scene ending with a
truck being flipped the sequence makes
for a powerhouse example of phenomenal
start work and practical effects in
comparison to the other action beats in
the film the finale is more up close and
personal by comparison but we wouldn’t
have it any other way what a battle what
a lovely battle
number four holding the line Saving
Private Ryan after successfully locating
Private Ryan after a long and perilous
search captain John Miller decides to
help him hold a line against incoming
Nazi infantry they actually prepare
pretty well for the encounter setting up
booby traps and picking clever sniping
positions but the Nazis have Tiger tanks
so yeah the amount of destruction caused
by the battle as well as the number of
casualties quickly begins to grow with
each bullet fired and grenade toss as
the film extremely represents the horror
of being on a battlefield in all its
brutal uncensored mayhem with this in
mind Saving Private Ryan both opens and
closes with amazing battlefield not an
easy feat person still in number three
the bride versus the crazy 88 Kill Bill
volume 1 in her quest to Kill Bill the
bride crosses paths with the ruthless
gang warriors known as the crazy 88
armed with a bevy of different weapons
and with the bride having her own razor
sharp blade to defend herself well cue
the budget in three two one the action
doesn’t let up with the stunts
choreography and amount of gore not to
mention decapitation only increasing and
the fight goes on the bride proves
herself a capable killing machine as she
soars through the air and slices her way
through an amount of enemies that should
have easily had her outnumbered it all
makes for one eye popping final battle
number two helms deep the Lord of the
Rings that two towers in a valiant
attempt to protect innocent people a
group of around 300 combatants rise up
to fend off nearly 10,000 invading
uruk-hai forces the odds aren’t too
pretty at all
the seramins army very quickly breaking
through the defenses in the most
explosive way imaginable
the entirety of this battle effectively
captures just how desperate a struggle
this is if Aragorn Gimli and company
doing everything they possibly can to
defeat the archive while victory looks
to be nowhere in sight but just when all
hope seems to be lost Gandalf and the
Riders of Rohan swoop in to save the day
sending the baddies running for the
hills
before we reveal our topic here are a
few honorable mention
number one Battle of Endor
Star Wars Episode six Return of the Jedi
accelerate to attack speed draw the fire
away from the cruisers one can’t bring
up the Star Wars saga without mentioning
one of its many spectacular large-scale
battle scenes like the epics taraf
showdown in road 1 however we feel the
Battle of Endor is a much more
satisfying clash overall is it perfectly
caps off the intense struggle between
rebels and Empire in a grand explosive
fashion with combat raging both on the
planet itself and in space the sequence
goes for quite some time yet never at
any point loses its momentum closing off
the original Star Wars trilogy with one
heck of a thrilling conclusion plus you
walk speed up stormtroopers that’s just
awesome
