there are several short clips in the intro. i believe some are from con-air, some from a movie with an exploding sandbag formation and another from 8-mile but i think there's at least one more in that segment.
in order of apperance: con-air something 8mile desperado something snipes as priest film michael madsen film (kill bill?) the rundown lucky number slevien iron man from dusk till dawn no country for old men man on fire hancock mark walberg in cap film (four brothers? shooter suggested above but i don't think that's it.) syriana robocop the dark knight con air (again) hell gas station w/ mo-ped film (no clue here) parking deck explosion (also no clue) x-men origins: wolverine building with cops and news van outside and letters on top that look like jesi
Well of course JJ Abrams can jam on keyboard while looking impossibly cool in his late 80's techno-inspired clothing complete with skinny tie... Bastard can do anything.
@txtphile: all the hard ones come before the desperado clip. There's like 6 in the first 10 secs. I'm pretty sure one of them is from 8 mile but that's about the only one I can ID because it's the only one where the characters are on the screen for more than half a second.

It's weird, my gut reaction was "this sucks" and then J.J. Abrams came along and I got the biggest geek boner ever.
I'm a sucker when somebody panders to my geeky interests.

Off the top of my head
Desperado, The Rundown, Iron Man, No Country, Man on Fire, Hancock, Four Brothers?, Seryiana, Robocop, TDK, Con-Air, Wolverine.
No idea on the Wesley Snipes, Bruce Willis, or Michael Madsen ones.
