Remember how big car interiors used to be?

Good old metal on metal. Fuck plastic cars.

I'm gonna say the next action sequence, but this one is great.

The car chase seems kind of de rigueur to me, though it's well done. Using a gas pump as a flamethrower is undoubtedly badass.

The footchase into the LA River basin is even better.
(Than the car chase to be clear.)

The fact Bigelow pays off the gas station with the explosions after they're gone is A+.

I count from the time meatball sub is ruined until the LA River as one scene. It is all one chase.

Using a pit bull as a weapon. Also badass. Honestly, Bodhi is fucking awesome.

Wachowskis had this scene in mind at the end of the matrix, right?

Utah emptying his clip into the air. Awesome way to end the scene.

Throwing a dog at someone is an underrated deterrence tactic.

Nathaniel has phenomenal facial hair in a non-facial hair era.

I feel like there's a lot of tactical mistakes made by both Utah and Bodhi in their personal faceoff over the remainder of the movie, but it mostly works. I think Bigelow was trying to show they were two sides of the same coin and got caught up in their own personal battle.

Bodhi is Dalton's evil twin, like two sides of the same philosophical brain.

Utah slyly putting his badge in his back pocket even though he's obviously already been made is nice.

So why would he go back to Lori Petty's when his cover is blown?

I feel this movie arguably could have won a cinematography Oscar for the next scene alone.

Utah totally losing the dick-measuring contest about parachuting. He's beat and he doesn't even know it.

She's not part of Bodhi's crew and he really does love her.

The only thing that bothers me about this scene is that it very obviously takes place over Lake Mead, which is nowhere near LA (even by plane).

I mean there's a lot about it that is ridiculous, but if you can suspend disbelief a little, it's perfection.

It is really nice, and well scored.

Having never skydived (and as someone who almost certainly never will) I don't know how realistic it is for Utah to be able to navigate through the air like a pro.

Also I've done the math on the length of this scene and using a terminal velocity of 162 feet per second, I estimate that they jumped from an altitude of approximately 90,000 feet.

NIce work, if you can get it.
