Of course the original Star Wars, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Harold and Maude, but I love all of that film. (It and Raiders are the only ones that occur to me to mention that aren’t starting off with violent action, but you did say “kick ass”.)
And films with great violent automobile action scenes:
I still occasionally replay just the opening from the ORIGINAL Mad Max film. And I love the Road Warrior opening, though it’s shorter. (I don’t even like Mad Max: Fury Road, and the disappointment started with the first scene, where they “subvert expectations” by having Max lose his car immediately without having a good opening vehicular mayhem scene… ugh.
Oh, and the opening vehicular action scene of Quantum of Solace I like a whole lot, and re-watch sometimes – but I don’t like most of the rest of the film.
Others that come to mind:
Shoot ‘Em Up
The Wild Bunch (1969)
Beverly Hills Cop
