10 Best Highway Action Scenes In Cinema History

10. Deadpool

The opening scene of Deadpool isn't particularly groundbreaking in terms of how the action is staged and executed, but what it did do was fully establish in the space of a brief few minutes that this was an entirely different type of comic book movie from the ones that audiences had grown accustomed to.

With the tongue-in-cheek opening credits setting the tone, we get our first proper introduction to Ryan Reynolds' Merc with a Mouth as he drops into a moving vehicle from above, before going on to dismantle a raft of interchangeable goons with ease.

Right off the bat, the scene fully conveys the title character's self-aware, fourth wall-breaking sense of meta humor while also setting up the driving force for the entire plot, all peppered with gratuitous R-rate violence and no shortage of quips for good measure.
