You totally missed The Wild Bunch. A massive, epic, bloody last stand.

If last stands can also include not necessarily dying last stands... then River in Serenity is absolutely epic. But yes, out of this list it should have Leonidas.

Rogue One had a pretty epic last stand. Surprised it didn't make the list.

I think Jet Li in Hero has a great combo of Leonidas's arrows barrage and Rorschach's values.

Black Hawk Down, MSG Gary Gordon and SFV Randall Shugart, gave their lives to rescue their fellow soldiers at the second helicopter crash site.

Man, I hope Clark and the rest of the Griswolds are proud of Uncle Eddie now. He did help save the world lol.

The sniper in "Blackhawk Down", and the driver from "Vanishing Point" should have made the list.

All worthy entries but.... Leon? "This is from Matilda". Best ever last stand scene 😃

I always thought Optimus Prime at the battle of Autobot city in The Transformers: The Movie was an epic last stand. He essentially had to take on most of the Decepticon ranks including Megatron in order to save the Autobots from certain death. So brave, so badass!

I wasn't quite sure what #1 would be, however, it could not be anything other than that.

The Wild Bunch

Glory! How did Glory not make this list? Denzel Washington's character carrying that flag up the hill... 😢

Star Ship Troopers didn't make it damn. You want a little more!?

The last samurai?

Kudos to the writers and Kudos to you for your wonderful narration, Jules. Well done, great video and I agree with #1. It was an amazing film.

Zulu? Best ending ever

Amazing list, but come on….no Wild Bunch??

Gran Torino and Jaws

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ You, Jules! I will NEVER get tired of your words of encouragement when you post videos. You are appreciated and the fact that you take the time to encourage others is absolutely needed. Take care, Beautiful Soul & you’re a LEGEND, too!

Regarding T2, Dyson wasn't holding any detonator over explosives. He was holding a broken piece of a large-scale CPU chip that he was developing, and dropped that on the detonator. * 5:31 You even show a shot of Dyson smashing the model where the piece came from.

The last stand of the two delta snipers in Black Hawk down is highly underrated if you ask me.

Billy in predator is my number 1

You forgot Shrek 2, Mongo sacrificing himself to allow Ginge and Shrek to get into the castle RIP MONGO xox

Thelma and Louise and the cliff is pretty epic, it was a first for female characters.

The Wild Bunch. How do you not include the Wild Bunch? They took an *army* with them after the bad🍑 bon mot: “Let’s go.” Much as I love BC& SK, THIS is ultimate OG.

Robert in Red Dawn. That Basil Poledouris score really bumps it up a few notches.

Not a movie, but for sheer heart rending genus, I have to shout out Blackadder Goes Forth when they go over the top. One for another list perhaps? Great video as always btw

Unforgiven : one of the best movies ever made. Munny (Eastwood) told the biographer that he always seemed to be lucky in things like that (meaning, gunfights.) I loved his character b/c he was stoic, brave, loyal, fair, and a bit broken with glaring imperfections, yet he strived to be a better man; and he certainly evened scores that needed settling. I had this movie on vhs tape and found myself watching it over & over.

Now this is the what culture content I signed up for

Great picks! The other comments mention other great ones - please do a "Part 2".

You guys have forgotten to put Sir Alec Guinness´ssssss epic stand in "The Bridge On The River Kwai" on the list! ;)

"An American fighter plane" That sir, is a P51 Mustang and one of the coolest military planes to ever exist.

Captain mifune is the most underrated hero in all cinema....

Léon: The Professional had a memorable last stand.

The Alamo? Zulu? The Wild Bunch? Seven Samurai?

I am 36 and I almost teared up with you talkin about the ending of Iron Giant.

Iron Giant - "Superman..." GD it, stop reminding me of that one scene!! I'm not crying, you're crying!

Black Hawk Down!? The two snipers who willingly get out of their helicopter to help save the downed helicopter pilot at the crash site. They took out so many guys before dying and giving him a chance to survive. He was captured and beaten but was saved eventually and it would not of happened without those two doing what they did. Plus "based on real events" as the movie states if that is true then they are real life heros, like every other soldier who willingly goes into the service.

There is on n the TV mini series Centennial- the old chief knows the enemy are going to charge, he wants to die in battle. He goes to where the enemy will charge, drives a stake in the ground, TIES HIS LEG TO THE STAKE, prepares his flintlock rifle and waits.

"Set It Off," how dare you snub the queen!

The iron giant made me cry as a kid.

5 movies that had a really outstanding performance ending

How about the suicidal last stand charge in The Last Samurai. Tom Cruise and Ken Watanabe leads what was left of their army on a last ditch cavalry charge against the enemy, awesome scene, heart wrenching and yet beautiful as well

I'm glad to see that LOTR made the list but I think everyone can agree that Gandalf facing the Balrog is much more epic than Boromir and the orcs.

Even though they didn't die, I'm going to suggest Benicio del Toro and Ryan Philipe in The Way of the Gun. It was, most certainly, an epic gunfight!

Sooooo many. I was going to say Saving Private Ryan or even the Firefly 'showdown' at the end of The Devil's Rejects. Good list!

Sam Rockwells in Seven Psychopaths

In T2, Dyson wasn't holding the detonator, he was holding a piece of the chip model over it. Close enough I suppose.

Duncan Idaho in Dune, the entire cast of Rogue One and Letters from Iwo Jima, James Coughlin in The Town, and finally, Parker and Longbaugh from The Way of the Gun.

The Wild Bunch should be #1. A glaring omission.

Doc... Young Guns 2 "Let's Finish The Game Billy!"

Happy Tuesday Jules🙌🏾

Scanners last stand should be on this list, the movie might not be one of the best but the last scene is epic

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was great…but that musical number on the bike…

Have to say you have Unforgiven backwards. He stood there literally staring death in the eyes. Ordering his men what to do when he dies. The as he is laying there at death door he tries one more time. As still says “see you in hell”

I am missing Avengers: Endgame from the list, even tho it was expected. It definitely paid off from the 10 years of build up to see all of them together and cap off with Iron Man's sacrifice.

Hmmm, not sure the ending of Thelma & Louise fits this list as a last stand, but they went out on their own terms as well.

My favourite is Gladiator and The Wild bunch 1969

The Wild Bunch? Leon?

How is Hudson from Aliens not on this list!? His last stand was more epic the Vazquez and Gorman and I say this with Aliens being my favorite movie

I loved the last stand by the three men who did the kamikaze attack to save humanity in PROMETHEUS.

Real question, does a last stand imply a defensive position?

As awesome as Randy Quaid’s last stand is, it originally had him showing up to the battle with missiles strapped to the sides of his crop duster; it was ridiculous and completely implausible for the thing to maneuver through the ensuing battle and to make that vertical climb into the exposed bottom of the ship, not to mention turning a heroic sacrifice, into just a drunk shenanigan

You left out "ZULU"!!!

I can't believe John Wayne's True Grit wasn't in here

You picked Aliens...but forgot Hudson's last stand? Come on! Bill Paxton slinging bullets and F bombs as he gets pulled away by the Xenos? What's more badass than that?

You missed the Wild Bunch

I have faith in James Mangold with the new INDIANA JONES Even though Disney's gonna find a way to ruin everything again

Interesting choice for Saving Private Ryan given that their last stand was dubbed 'Alamo' and yet the list omits The Alamo with John Wayne.

Doc Holliday in Tombstone too

What about the Wild Bunch!?

So you're really gonna act like The Wild Bunch doesn't exist? The shoot out With the mexicans at the end is epic

The last stands (plural) in Seven Samurai can't even get a mention.

Nobody mentioned The Last Castle in my perusing of the comments and that makes me sad.

Where’s Sugar Watkins from Starship Troopers

Axe in Lone Survivor.

Young Guns! Epic Last Stand.

He wasn't on screen much, but Captain Mifune was my favorite character in the 3rd Matrix movie. Understated badassery...

Oh hell yeah i cried seeing Logan die as a hero…

Way of the gun

Asuka vs The Mass Production Evas - End of Evangelion

The USS Enterprise in Star Trek: Nemesis rammed the Scimitar, and Data ended up dying.

if you do a commenter's edition you should add the ending to Oblivion...

I don't know about bada$$, but one of the funniest last stands is when... Larry Faces Vito Weekend At Bernie's Johnathan Silverman's Richard finds a big accounting error at the insurance company he works. His buddy, Andrew McCarthy's Larry, is along for the ride as the lazy half of the duo. After a series of increasingly absurd events, Don Calfa's Vito, who killed Bernie much earlier, keeps coming back to Bernie's to kill him again when the guys+ make him look alive. In the end though, Larry bests Vito with a telephone wire and Manos de Pietros, Fists of Steel, as Larry put it.

Wild geese? Platoon?

Are you nuts ???? : THE WILD BUNCH !!!!!

The Last Samurai

Young Guns last stand in the house

WHERE THE HELL IS THE "WILD BUNCH"??? I mean it is one of the greatest blaze of glory in cinematic history, and it is easily better than 12?15 entries on this list.

no mention of "Django unchained"?

White Heat (1949). Nuff said'

Shughart & Gordon, Black Hawk Down.

The Wild Bunch?

I would've included V's last stand in V for Vendetta

Way of the Gun

No Optimus Prime from Transformers: The Movie?

The last stand in the church in John Woo's The Killer.

Black widow and Iron man should have be in the honourable mentions

i would like to add an indian movie in this list--- Sholayy....which has the best last stand in indian cinema

The Alamo didn't make the list. Wow.
