    Rambo is not meek, but he is getting pushed around by the law, and then he gets pushed too much. Excellent film

    Jesus,

    Lucky number slevin is an inspired choice. Well done.

    Also 28 days later is a good one he really looses the plot there at the end.

    Not exactly what OP was asking for but there's a great bully arse-kicking scene in History of Violence that is tremendously satisfying
