Two Montages That Blow Me Away.

I'll try to begin to describe them.

One, from An American Werewolf in London:

The Muppet Show is on, the family is gathered around the television and the kitchen table. The doorbell rings. The father answers the door. Outside there is slight fog, and men with mutated/alien faces hold machine guns. They fire the guns at the father. He flies backward. People begin screaming from inside. A monstrous alien/mutant holds a knife to the throat of the screaming protagonist. The e.t.s/agents enter the house to the sound of screaming children. The mother, in the kitchen, is killed in front of the children (she flies backward), amid the screams and gunfire and shattering of personal affects. The television continues to broadcast The Muppet Show. A monster/solider kicks the television screen, shattering it. There is a fire in the fire place, and by the fireplace are torches. The invaders pick up the torches and light fire to the house, the helpless protagonist forced by knife-point to watch this play out. More of the house goes up in flames. The protagonist's throat is cut open; blood gushes from the wound.

Two, from Dead or Alive:

Two men kneel on driftwood, counting up to four. They reach four and a rock riff starts. The rock song will play through the entire montage. The title Dead or Alive comes on the screen and a woman, thrown off a building, screams. She falls to the ground and a plastic bag full of cocaine bursts open. The blood splatters onto the coke. A man picks up the cocaine bag and walks away with it. He passes someone and turns to look at the person. A man has a crazy french-kissing make-out session with a woman. He licks her face; it's kind of bizarre. The man with the cocaine bag puts on goggle-like glasses. A woman is on stage in a strip-club, dancing seductively. The man/woman kiss more and the woman dances more. There's scenes of Tokyo life: a traffic jam and a cop hitting someone. The stripper dances as a man enters the club. She licks her lips and unzips her leather top. A man cruises down the street on a motorcycle. The kissing man dances to music, the goggle/cocaine bag man walks. People clap in a restaurant as a man of esteem enters a restaurant. A gunman takes a hidden machine gun from beneath some food in a grocery store. A business man exits a luxury vehicle in a warehouse. The gunman throws a shotgun to another gunman. A stripper plays with her leather-covered-pussy as a business man watches, prodding the vagina with a cane. A huge line of coke is laid out on like a skateboard ramp, a credit card cutting the drug and straightening the line. The man in the restaurant eats noodles. The kissing man is now the dancing-alone-in-a-room-man. The stripper takes off her leather top. The noodle man eats, the stripper dances, and the business man prepares to take his line of coke. He snorts the coke while the noodle man eats. When the line of coke is finished he pushes over a bookcase and kneels, raising his hands above him. The stripper dances the dancing man dances. The motorcycle man drives on. A man is in a separate noodle restaurant; noodles are being made; the man is rubbing his forehead. The stripper dances. A business man sucks on a nipple and glares into the camera. The coked out business man is dragged away. A man (who passed the now-goggled-man on the street earlier) anally fucks another man in a dirty bathroom. Sighs and moans. The noodle man eats. The coked out business man is coked out in the back of the luxury vehicle. The vehicle pulls away. The gay sex continues in the bathroom (rape?). The noodle man eats. The motorcycle man pulls up to a curb. The goggle-wearing-man enters the bathroom in sticks a knife into the throat of the man-fucker. The being-fucked winces, the man-fucker faces the camera. Blood squirts out over the bathroom walls and the being-fucked. The noodle man eats. The being-fucked opens his mouth so the blood of the man-fucker sprays in his mouth. The dancing man dances. The stripper dances. The gunmen enter the restaurant of noodle-eater 1. There is a moment of tension. The gunmen pull out their guns and throw a grenade. A table is overturned; the guns fire. Glass shatters and smoke drifts away from guns. Things explode and are destroyed and people fall to the floor. The noodle-eater is shot and noodles fly out of his stomach onto the screen.
