Jet Li in KISS OF THE DRAGON
Dwayne Johnson in THE RUNDOWN (all of it!)

Collateral - scene where Tom Cruise pops the two guys at extreme close range with the quick draw. I rewound and watched that scene so many times my wife got up and left me to finish the movie by myself.

Heat - the bank robbery scene.

All of band of brothers, the pacific and black hawk down.

The fall of Boromir - Lord of the rings fellowship [extended]

Uncas, Chinguachuk, Hawkeye vs Magua and co - Last of the Mohicans (the soundtrack during these scenes helps a lot too)

The last stand of Leon, how not to kill a hitman, Leon vs the entire police dept - Leon

As silly a film that You Only Live Twice is, the volcano base is pretty cool.
 
Rambo (2008) - Rambo takes out a full group of bad guys with a bow and arrows with NO sights, while the rest of his group is like 0-o who is this guy!!!

Matrix - Morpheus vs Agent, Morpheus doesn't give up until he is completely out of energy.

Matrix - Trinity and Neo go to save Morpheus, they walk through the medal detectors, the alarm sounds he opens up his trench coat and the fighting starts, absolutely love that
