Best g’damn action scene ever!
February 13th, 2010This is a clip from the Indian 1994 movie Alluda Majaka, titled on Youtube “Best action scene of all time”. What sets this action scene apart from its Hollywood counterparts?
The use of horses in stunts! The protagonist is a fugitive on the run. His preferred mode of transportation is of course horses and during the course of the scene he manages to make a car jump 10 meters into the air by throwing a pipe into the grille, stop two running horses using his crotch, make four horses fall to the ground using a rope and, and this is the real kicker, slide under a truck while riding a horse!
I don’t think I’ve laughed so much at an action scene ever. The sequence ends appropriately with our hero escaping from an explosion, on a horse of course.

Actually I believe that this movie isn’t technically a Bollywood movie. Bollywood is strictly speaking a district in Mumbai, whereas is this movie is identified as a Telugu movie which probably puts it somewhere on the east coast. Which is why I didn’t refer to it as a Bollywood movie. (Except in the tags… :p )
But yeah, gotta love it!
