10 Epic Action Sequences That You Can Watch Over And Over Again

If you go on Wikipedia – or any other analogous website of your choosing – and check the list of highest-grossing films of all time, you might make a (not so) shocking discovery: it’s an action extravaganza!

Remember when we were talking about movies that have made money? Well, this is one of them. A whopping 1.5 billion dollars at the box office! True, it might be far away from Titanic, even further from Avatar – but trust me; that’s a lot of money.

A stellar film throughout, the end climax has the earth’s mightiest heroes battle it out against the Chitauri army in hopes to prevent them from completely trashing up New York. And what follows is a well-made, visually impressive action sequence – which you can watch over and over.
