Scenes that made you say, "THAT is cool"

[dmbman32]

Hey, all! There are tons of awesome scenes out there. However, which scenes in movies did you see and say afterwards, "Man, THAT is cool?" Or, that you were just blown away by and said something like, "I have to see that again." Mine:

Episode 1: Obi-Wan and Darth Maul's fight. Probably the coolest sword fight in a movie. They move SO fast, and never stop for about a minute.

SPOILER FOR MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2
M:I-2: Where the bad guy "kills" Tom Cruise, but then realizes it's his friend by seeing the band-aid on his finger. I knew Tom wasn't dead, but I just thought it was an awesome part.

The Matrix: Reloaded: The whole freeway scene, but especially when the two trucks collided, and it's in slow-motion, and Neo flies by and picks the 2 guys up right before the fire gets them.

I have more, but I have to think about them.

A ***SPOILER WARNING*** would be cool, dude! Especially for the schmoes who haven't seen MI:2. Could you please edit your post? :)

[dmbman32]

Hey, sorry about that. It's fixed now. I should've...I didn't think it was a huge part of the story. I figured if people cared about it, they would have seen the movie by now.

The keyhole scene from Dario Argento's opera.

[Scarface98.9]

The gunfights in Equilibrium, especially the first real use of it (in the alley). The use of it was a real surprise, and had me proclaiming "That's pretty damn cool." Only the swordfight and subsequent gunfight at the end surpassed it

[Jasonite]

I have to admit, the first thing that came to mind upon reading the title of this thread was the scene in the Matrix where you first see Tank uploading information into Neo. I saw that scene and I said "THAT is cool! I want that!"

That's my vote as well. The end action scenes had me just in awe.

[SuperPinkyMandy]

Another vote for Equilibrium - damn that movie's awesome! Mostly i was just saying "THAT is cool, and the fact that it's Christian Bale doing it is even better!" :D
I love the last 15 minutes of that movie, it totally rules. But all the fight scenes were new and exciting and really blew me away!

[Raoul Duke]

***SPOILERS FOR THE USUAL SUSPECTS***



The cop realizing by looking at the stuff on his bulletin board and coffee cup that Verbal Kint had lied and was in fact Keyser Soze. Then Soze walking down the street and slowly losing his limp.


***SPOILERS FOR SE7EN***


Finding out John Doe's master plan.



The first scene in X2 with Night Crawler in the White House.



***SPOILERS FOR IDENTITY***

Finding out that everyone was but a personality of that bald dude.

[Ren Hoek]

~ When Legolas hops onto the horseback in THE TWO TOWERS

~ **SPOILER for PSYCHO** Highlight to read: The scene where Detective Arbogast is killed by Norman Bates


...both scenes totally caught me off guard! :eek:

[Hannibal21]

All scenes in 2001: A Space Odyssey just made me stare in disbelief at how cool they were, and the visuals were just so incredible. But the 'starchild' scene at the end was the COOLEST.

[SykkBoy]

Darkman hanging on a ladder suspended from a helicopter "chasing" the bad guys while they fly through the city trying to scrape him off with buildings, a bridge, etc. in Darkman

Several parts in Starship Troopers

the toxic mutant head spattering like a tomato on the windshield in Robocop

Final Destination one word: bus.

[Brock-Landers]

Obi-Wan vs. Maul from Episode I and Neo flying super fast in Reloaded!!

[syxxpac]

Swordfish - Opening
The Matrix - Bullet-time, baby!
T2 - "Get out!"
Jurassic Park - T-Rex rampage and ****SPOILER****Raptor kitchen hunting****END SPOILER****
Final Destination 2 - Highway disaster.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I would also add Final Destination 2... just about every kill and the car chase in Matrix Reloaded.

2002-2003, good years for cool movies.

[t3h Qster]

one scene recently was when the twins in matrix relaoded were chasing morpheus and trinity, the scene I was like ''cool'' was when the one twin became translucent and floated right nerxt to his other half sitting shotgun in the vehicle they were driving :)

[The Lolo]

In the movie Gettysburg when in a battle a man dodges death becuse the bullet intended to pierce through him lodged into the sword being held against his body instead. The look on his face afterwards is priceless.

[urbanlegend23]

In The Matrix: Reloaded when the two trucks smashed together and blew up and the two guys were in the middle of the explosion with their guns pointed at each other...COOOL!!!!!!!

[KornKidJedi]

In Punch-Drunk Love,where the cute and lovely Emily Watson goes home with Adam Sandler, The Four Blonde Brothers crash into Sandler's car,and Adam Sandler just gets out of the car beats the shit out of the brothers. I just rooted for Adam Sandler.

[The Delfonics]

I almost forgot

American Psycho, the scene where Bateman is doing the two chicks and he checks him self out in the mirror.

I second those ones. Also I have to mention:

Nightcrawler's teleporting in "X2". GREAT moo-moo!
The Xenomorphs swimming in "Alien Ressurection"
The Master Vampires rising out of the ground in "John Carpenter's Vampires"
The whole slo-mo walking towards camera during the credits from "Reseviour Dogs"
The keyhole bit from "Opera". GETOUTTAHERE!
When Anna enters that ocean painting in "The Stendhal Syndrome"... fish kissing fun.
The whole magnificent frame of the Queen Alien in "Aliens"
Also from "The Matrix" when Trinity is hanging on to the rope dangling from the chopper and she crashes into the building, sending shock waves through it. NICE!
Sarah Connor's nightmare in "Terminator II: Judgement Day"
The fight between Wolverine and Mystique in "X-Men"

[dmbman32]

I've got some more:

Gladiator: When Maximus fights about 6 guys in front of the audience, and just destroys them very quickly. Finally, when he chops off the last guy's head, and throws his sword into the crowd"Are you not entertained?"

Signs: The whole pantry scene, where it starts sort of humorous, and gets very tense with the knife, and Mel walks away and comes back, and then......

2001: The whole "stargate" sequence was definitely a, "whoa, that's awesome" scene.

Panic Room: The whole slow-mo scene where Jodie is getting the cell phone.

FINAL DESTINATION 2: the highway pile up

SHIVER ME TIMBERS

[drunkenangel]

The Movie sucked, but several parts of "the hunted" (with Benicio and Tommy Lee Jones) made me say "that's cool" (sometimes I'm excited by the simplest things)

Also:

The ending of "the usual suspects" :)

American Psycho...where Bateman kills Paul Owen to "hip to be square"

Dogma, where Matt Damon shoots the guy on the bus, the bus stops, and everyone runs screaming.

The car chase in "GO"

Yep, simple stuff like that :)
