I recently rewatched blade and when blade finds whisler dying, gives him the gun then goes on a one man killing spree in the towers. Easily one of the best revenge moments in a film.

Also sicario when the unassuming del Toro gets his revenge at the end.

In Kick-Ass, Hit Girl has two long-sequence killing sprees that are both 10/10s, the first of which is a rescue and the second of which is revenge.

Better action sequences than John Wick, and best since Blade and first Matrix

Death Sentence. Warning this is pretty much the end sequence of the film.

Lots of interesting shots in this sequence, and no music in the background during most of it.

IIRC this was a James Wan film coming off of all those Saw flicks. I think it bombed critically and box office wise but it was always something to watch whenever it came on HBO or Showtime.

This guy isn't even the main villain, just a piece of shit who used his authority to rape her and thinks he can get away with it. However, reality and Lisbeth soon come knocking……

I'm not sure "badass" would be an accurate description. But, without a doubt, the most satisfying revenge in a film was in 1993's Dream Lover.

You'll have to watch it to see.

The last 20 minutes or so of Death Proof were fantastic. A lot of the rest of the movie, not so much.

The Count of Monte Cristo is one giant revenge story.

It basically invented the genre, so yeah...

What is it, it's unavailable?

I do love oldboy but alot of the revenge is spread out and the corridor scene has nothing to do with revenge.

I Saw The Devil, if you can call most of that movie a "sequence". It's awesome, one of the best revenge movies ever.

Also one of the obvious ones:

I was devastated watching this. Why the fuck did they have to die? That's not a nice ending.

De Niro slicing open Don Ciccio in Godfather 2.

But the best revenge scene in media was Scott Tenorman....'oh the tears of unfathomable sadness'

Try Dead Man's Shoes, a great british indie film centered around revenge, with a fantastic Paddy Considine.

Nothing tops I Spit on your Grave. The original one that is.

Heat.

The scene with Waingro.

Also X-Men First Class has a great one (or two):

You've all already seen it but it was funny when John Wick didn't even let the dude finish his sentence "over a fucking dog".

Was also good when the dudes own dad was like son, you done fucked up, there's no escape, he's gonna find you and when he does, you're fucking done. He was right!

Excellent pick. I got this in a box set knowing nothing about it, then my dad and I watched this about 5 times in 2 weeks. We rarely watch films, but this was excellent. Funny, too.

The entirety of Old boy (Korean). Only got round to watching it recently, that shits fucked up.

The whole trilogy of vengeance (Sympathy for Mister Vengeance, Old Boy and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance) by Park Chan-Wook is a must-watch!

John Wick. The whole movie is revenge basically

It's not a movie, and I love cinema, but the epitome of revenge for me is the epilogue of Red Dead Redemption 1.

Cool, only recently started broadening my horizons to Korean cinema and I'm loving what I've seen so far, I'll pop them on the list. cheers!

Not everyone likes The Punisher (2004), but what Punisher does to Travolta through the second half of the movie is some next level ownage.
