2. Bad Boys II

Bad Boys II has more than enough action to fill three movies, and while the constant assault on the senses throughout the running time saw Michael Bay descend fully into self-parody for the first time, the highway chase nonetheless remains an all-timer.

Fast cars, slow motion, one-liners, bullets, bodies, explosions, extensive property damage, innocent drivers apparently being cleaved in two during the chaos, vehicles being tossed through the air and even a solitary boat are all present and accounted for in what might very well be the single greatest action scene that destruction cinema's pre-eminent auteur has ever directed.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
