Since you mentioned action sequences....

Bruce Willis said that the reason he waited so long to do a 4th Die Hard movie is that nobody was bringing him anything original. The last straw was when somebody said, "Imagine 'Die Hard' set in a skyscraper!" He was so flabbergasted by this that he stopped taking pitches for ANYTHING for a while.

For all that it was a sequel, Die Hard 4 was pretty original - especially the part where a car went up a ramp coming out of a tunnel and took a low-flying helicopter out of the sky. The way they shot that was to send a car out of a tunnel, up a ramp, so that it hit the helicopter! The 'copter was on a crane, but still. Gotta love THAT.
