5. Bullet Train (The Wolverine)
The bullet train sequence in The Wolverine is possibly THE best action sequence of the year, starting inside the train and later moving to the top of it. It was a pulse pounding few minutes featuring flawless CGI and top notch stunt work.
It was also no easy feat for director James Mangold or star Hugh Jackman to make this take on Wolverine feel fresh after five previous appearances in the X-Men movies, especially as the character has already been featured in so many action sequences. However, this scene served as proof that there’s plenty of life left in the clawed mutant, and Mangold scored brownie points for recreating one of Wolverine’s most iconic comic book poses (as seen in the shot above).
