7. Die Hard (1988)
《虎胆龙威》（1988）
John McTiernan's howlingly enjoyable romp pared the Eighties action film down to its bare essentials: take one hero (in this case, Bruce Willis's sardonic cop), place in a tight spot (LA's Nakatomi Plaza), season with terrorists, and wait for the bang.
约翰•麦克蒂尔南的《虎胆龙威》是一部令人十分享受的动作冒险电影，它揭露了上世纪80年代动作电影的本质：把一个英雄（布鲁斯•威利斯扮演的爱嘲讽人的警察）置身于危险的境地（洛杉矶的中臣广场），加入一些匪徒增加看点，然后等待最后一爆。
8. Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011)
《碟中谍4》（2011）
There aren't many standalone set pieces on this list which top that dangling lab descent in Mission: Impossible (1996), thanks to Brian De Palma's exquisite choreography and that lone bead of Cruisean sweat threatening catastrophe. But the plot was a confused mess; this, overall, is easily the best-organized film of the series, finding new ways to imperil its leading man – how about we chuck him off the Burj Khalifa this time? – and to whisk him and the IMF crew through a maze of intrigue we don't get lost in.
这份榜单上很少有电影的动作花样能够超越《碟中谍1》（1996年）中悬挂下降到实验室的场面，多亏了布莱恩•德•帕尔玛精湛的动作设计，以及让克鲁兹式的危险灾难场景，《碟中谍4》做到了。不过，《碟中谍4》的剧情是一团混乱。总的来说，本片还是轻松成为碟中谍系列电影中设计最棒的一部，开辟了虐男主的新方式（这次我们把他赶到迪拜塔上怎么样？），通过一系列如迷宫般复杂但没有把我们搞糊涂的阴谋活动，让男主角和国际货币基金组织的员工搅和到一起。
