| | | Movie Battle Scenes
So, what are some memorable movie battle scenes.. that just stick in your mind as awesome and outstanding.. ? 
For me, I think there is nothing that betters the scene depicting the battle of Agincourt in Kenneth Branagh's Henry V
Other nominations?

I love Kelly Hu looks in the movie too *drool*
Akira Kurosawa "Ran" - nicely done; especially the castle assault one.
Untouchables - station stair stand off scene.
A Better Tomorow 2 aka Gangland Boss 2 - guns and kaboom w/ Chow Yuen Fat in guncrazy mode
