1. The Never-Ending Runway - Fast & Furious 6
Fast and Furious 6 raised the bar for action with its barmy finale which, while perhaps not as outrageous as Fast Five's insane finale, was still totally out there, and easily the best action sequence of the year so far. The set-piece begins when Dominic and co. are forced to let Owen Shaw go, after he reveals that he has kidnapped Mia. Shaw and his cohorts board a plane, as the heroes mount an attempt to stop him, chasing the plane with cars (along a runway that
never seems to end) before Dom, Letty, Brian and Hobbs board the cargo area to kick some ass. They eventually rescue Mia, and the heroes use their cars to keep the plane tethered to the ground - an utterly ridiculous abuse of physics, mind - before Gisele ends up sacrificing herself to save Han from sure death. Shaw ends up being killed, and then the real kicker comes, the shot that absolutely should not have been ruined by the trailer; Dom drives a car out of the nose of the plane, in what is easily the most badass act on any cinema screen this year. I can't even imagine how they can top this with Fast & Furious 7. Which action scene has been your favourite this summer? Are there any we missed? Let us know in the comments below.
