Escape from LA is absolute toss...and how can you say it has the best ending...unbelievable...it is such a crap film...

Escape from New York was amazing...then they had to make a sequel didn't they...and a terrible one at that

Thats a brilliant ending...Paul Newman and Robert Redford running out...guns blazing

The ending to "Hero" the short action film made with battlefield 1942.

The leon one as has already been said, and the DIE HARD ones, as they're some of my all time favourite filma, one of the few franchises that keeps it good right till the third film.

Predator's ending is bitchin' too. Andi really should get back to writing my crossover, but man am i ever lazy...

My favourite would probably be Lock stock though, after all the meeting of the main storylines to zorba the greek and the big shootout, the lone guy who loved the guns, picking them up from the side of the bridge precariously, then his phone goes off and we don't find out what happens...amazing, absolutely amazing.

more suspense then action, but What about the usual suspects?

Phone Booth was good: "Just want to make sure that your new-found honesty doesn't disappear."

And Basic, though not fantastic was cool. So just what the fuck DID happen to Sgt West? Its become a catchcry in our gaming group for when someones trying to mislead the party: "So where is Sgt West?"

Well, I saw it twice the day it opened, and the end only made me cry the first time, and it was only a couple of tears.

The best action movie ending was in 'Starship Troopers'.
Because it meant the bloody movie was finally over...

"It feels...FEAR!" shouts SS Psi-Oberfuehrer Doogie Howser.

By that point, the people in the audience were feeling... ILL...

"Dos Yanquis?!"

It makes it even better when it's based on a true story, the whole Bolivian army was tested.

Phone Booth? you liked that ending? hell the whole movie sucked. I mean we never even find out why the sniper is doing what he is doing....

besides I liked it better when I saw it the first time and it was called
"Liberty Stands Still"

And Basic, though not fantastic was cool. So just what the fuck DID happen to Sgt West? Its become a catchcry in our gaming group for when someones trying to mislead the party: "So where is Sgt West?"

now this one I liked
