the action is the juice
 
Heat by a distance of all outside. An I loved the 84 Terminator
 
Has to go with heat and terminator is one of my favorite movies ever.
 

Can't pick one cause it is very hard, and it is hard because they are really different scenarios. Terminator is one-sided, with no change of the offender being neutralized, while this is not the case with Heat.

For pure action and tension I'd go with Heat.
 
Heat, definitely. The bank/shootout scene is epic. It was so epic, that the game Kane and Lynch used it as inspiration for the opening to the game and the first level. You get to put right into that same tense situation and have to shoot your way out with a ridiculous amount of cops trying to stop you. Kane and Lynch is one of my favorite shooters of all time, however lots of critics hated it. lol! It was such a bad ass couch co-op game!!
 
Way of the goons is pretty good too:


Not to mention 1969 was a bloody good year for shootouts.

Shoot style?


(which it wasn't. Yeah, I know, I know. I always compared it to the one in Terminator because he is taking out a police force. In truth, I think the Terminator one is the best of the three, all in)

I'd go Heat, Kiss of the Dragon, then Terminator if there wasn't a shootout clause. Terminator goes higher as an overall movie.
There was some gunplay in KoD, but I don't think any of it was any good.

I like the kind of "mask off" moment for Terminator. It just drives home the repeated theme of "this thing is unstoppable, unreasonable, and doesn't play by the rules humans do." Fits into the tension of the movie well.
 
Heat's actually influenced the North Hollywood shootout
 
Depends
The heat fight is so good they use it for training in the military

terminator is a slaughter. Different thing. Shows how unstoppable he is.

I love it either way

I don't know I was in the Marine Corps infantry we sure as fuck weren't using Hollywood videos for tactical training. We were often shown videos of real gun fights. The real thing is just different.
 
This - how’s this even a debate ?

As a technical display, the Heat scene is possibly the greatest of all time.

As an artistic display / overall scene with music included and so on...I give this one to The Terminator.
