Your favorite bad-ass scenes
What are your favorite scenes from movies that were either bad-ass, kick-ass, or just plain "cool..." I was just pondering this while thinking of Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
The scene where Arnie comes out of the biker bar to "Bad to the Bone" song and snatches away the shotgun from the bartender (and then also his sunglasses).
"Get away from her you bi***!" 'nough said.
Face/Off: When Travolta/Cage are in the middle of the condo shoot-out, and they whirl around to face the same wall, both looking at their reflections in a mirror (at themselves, who have the face of their enemy) BRILLIANT!
Gandalf insisting the demon "Shall not pass"
Car factory scene in 'Minority Report' when Tom is using that cool shockwave shotgun.
Final lightsaber clash between Luke and Vader ending with Vader throwing the emperor down the shaft. (this may be blasphemy to SW fans but I like it better then the ESB scene)
My absolute favorite: The opening sequence to Raiders of the Last Ark. In my eyes, nothing can beat it.

Planet Terror. Most everything with El Ray. Notably the "I do believe in you" sequence.
Sin City. Both Marv and Bruce Willis' climactic scenes.
True Lies. The FL bridge sequence. And Harry in the jet.
Die Hard 3. The Nova Scotia scene. Especially from the 'did I interupt something' until John hops out of the helicopter.
I'm a real sucker for bold, bad-ass, gigantor, greater-good characters. Especially the tragic ones.

Innocence - Ghost in the Shell 2: The entire Locus Solus freighter assault.
Versus - Pretty much the entire film.
Boondock Saints - Pretty much anything that starts and proceeds to happen with the following words:
"And shepherds we shall be,
For Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,
That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti."

Glengarry Glen Ross: "Coffee is for closers."
Aliens: "Get away from her, you BITCH!"
The Usual Suspects: "And poof. Just like that, he's gone."
There Will Be Blood: "I drink your milkshake!"

all the above are pretty bad-ass, but to add to the list:
Big Trouble in Little China - almost everything, but I especially love the flying swordfight
The Matrix - the lobby scene (but almost everything is pretty bad-ass)
Spider-Man 2 - the train sequence
Back to the Future - Marty getting chased by Biff and company in town square
Predator - Gatling gun scene and where Arnold is finally by himself running away from the Predator
Robocop - when Robo shoots that one dude in the family jewels
Nemesis - the whole shoot through the floor scene
Virtuosity - anytime Sid 6.7 is on the screen
I could go on all day, but I'll spare everyone.

Pretty much Bruce Campbell in the entire Evil Dead series...
But especially when he gets his chainsaw in Army of Darkness fighting in the pit... "Strange one!"
or
"This... is my BOOMSTICK!"
haha, it's all pretty great, huh?
