Re: "Best action scene of all time"
Maybe not would be my vote, even though I couldn't stop watching.
My favorite part was the jeep that seemed to be able to jump obstacles as well as the horse.

I'll say "not". And the trip-wire cruelty to horses is unpleasant. But it was certainly a full employment plan for stunt men!DenGar wrote:Maybe. Maybe not.

But look at all the Morri Oxfords!
The Hindustan Ambassador (based on the 1957 Morris Oxford) has been in continuous production since 1958.

Re: "Best action scene of all time"
I think my favorite would be the sequence from "Behind Enemy Lines"
http://depositfiles.com/files/jkl9z198n - 11MB FLV file
The F/A-18 maneuvers are brilliantly done, as is the detonation of the missile. The explosion of penetrator javelins is a bit hard to catch in the clip - came up better in the movie. But the missile itself is quite a flight of fancy. If a real SAM is evaded once, it might be lucky enough to get another pass at the target, but beyond that is fantasy.

Re: "Best action scene of all time"
Yeah, it's a freebie file repository so they're always trying to flog mmbership. Free downloading also depends upon how busy they are, so you may have to keep trying. I think I downloaded it from youtube but can no longer find it. I could post it here as an attachment, but I suspect it will be too big.Bigaldoc wrote:I get a login screen of some kind, Alan...

A 10.8 MB .flv file is much too large to attach - the limit here is 256 KB.
Best wishes,

Re: "Best action scene of all time"
Hi all
That really made me laugh. When I was posted to one of her Maj's colonies in the Far East for a year the TV as horrific but every Saturday they would run a string of Bollywood Movies in Hindi with English subtitles, most circa 1950 - 1965 in black and white. Every single one had the same plot
Downtrodden villager loves beautiful woman
Rich land owner loves beautiful woman has downtrodden beaten up
( here it could change a bit, they would send him to an illegal mine, lose him in the jungle etc. etc.)
Downtrodden would grow in strength in the face of all adversities etc. and aquire superpowers
Returns to Village and beats up and banishs Richy Rich
Beautiful falls into his arms, and, and (no kissing on Indian TV in those days)
Spontaneous dancing would erupt
Downtrodden and beautiful live happily ever after
Come to think of it, thats the same plot today
