I agree with Wolfie for Pilot Over from Rambo 2, and since he mentioned more than 1, I would like to add in:1. The Rock (80% - 90%) are adrenaline pumping music!
2. Drop Zone - Too Many Notes Not Enough Rests (Track 7)
3. Face/Off - Furniture (Track 3)
4. Waterworld - about half of the score is action
5. Armageddon - Evacuation (Track 6) posted 05-16-1999 08:43 AM PT (US) Mike

There are so many darn good action cues, so it's hard
for me to pick what I feel are the best. These cues
keep your heart pounding, and you can sometimes feel like
you're the one flying an FA-18, or hanging on to the legs
of a helicopter, or climbing under a moving truck. So
here they are...-"T-Rex Rescue and Finale" JURASSIC PARK
-"Visitor in San Diego" THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK
-"Base Attack"
and "The Day We Fight Back" INDEPENDENCE DAY
-"It's Only Gold/End Credits" CUTTHROAT ISLAND
-"Attack of the Batwing" BATMAN
-"Zoom A" and "Zoom B" MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE
-"Desert Chase" RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
-"The Battle of Stirling" BRAVEHEART
-"Charging Fort Wagner" GLORY
-"The Battle for Peace" STAR TREK VI
-"Gotham City Boogie"
and "Batterdammerung" BATMAN FOREVER posted 05-16-1999 10:07 AM PT (US) James

Ooh... so many to choose from..."The Battle" from CutThroat Island (John Debney)
"The Walls Are Whispering" from Merlin (Trevor Jones)
"Night Battle" from First Knight (Jerry Goldsmith)
"Raisuli Attacks" from The Wind And The Lion (Goldsmith)
"Asteroid Field" from The Empire Strikes Back (Williams)Of course, that's not a "single" best action cue, but I can't decide on a single...and there are plenty more I didn't include in my short list. Hmm...
