The bank robbery/gunfight in Heat.
Some good ones mentioned so far I’ll add some other ones some of which are a little obscure.
Interstellar docking scene
Pandorum when the random guy wakes up from deep sleep.
Maholland drive diner scene
Fire in the sky getting prepped for probing
Pretty much entire mad max fury road
Hallway scene in original Old boy
Yeah, definitely some great suggestions. I would add to the list the basement bar scene in Inglourious Basterds. I really enjoyed that one.

Last Lango in Paris: The scene where an actual rape occurred. Brando was told to make it "real" much to the horror of the actress.
So horrified she continued with the scene and the movie? Does "non-consensual" now mean you get to change your mind later - even years later?
WOW! Who knew that a rape victim could simply walk away from a large, strong male and end a rape. You are one smart cookie.
V for Vendetta.....
.....when Natalie Portman walks out of the cell into the rain.
You're welcome.
A bit of a different sort of intensity, but the scene in To Kill a Mockingbird where Scout realizes that Boo Radley saved them.
Also in the same sort of quiet intensity, the "open the pod bay doors Hal" sequence from 2001 a Space Odyssey.

You have seen the film, haven't you? Perhaps not. A sex scene isn't necessarily a rape scene - except in your mind. If she had protested, the scene would have been stopped. It wasn't - if you had seen the film (as millions of others did), which had that scene included. She also came back to shoot the rest of the movie with her alleged "rapist", and didn't make any claim to objecting to what happened till years later. But don't let that get in the road of your gender-based politics.

Pretty intense rape scene.
That did not result in protest, objection or complaint at the time and saw her continue to act in the film alongside her now alleged "rapist". If it was "intense" you seem to think so more than she did at the time.

The correct answer is, and always will be the POW scene in The Deer Hunter.
Any other answer just means that person has not seen that movie. The only thing that could possibly be as intense since then is if someone grabs a phone and deletes a person's Instagram account.

Question asked for "most intense movie sceneS" ... plural .... i.e. let's make a list, not name your #1
As far as I'm aware, everyone knew what was planned in I Spit On Your Grave, including the actress.
It is well documented that the actress in Last Tango In Paris did NOT know what was going to happen. Regardless of whether she continued filming, or protested, or stayed silent for years, that makes it assault, no? Sexual activity without informed consent seems the definition of assault.
I understand she was a young actress at the start of her career. She may, understandably, not have had the guts to stop the filming of an expensive film, with a legendary, A-list actor, even momentarily - if a coworker was doing something objectionable, and the boss said nothing, you might not say anything, no? Or, if feel you always would, I invite you to place yourselves in the shoes of a young worker, perhaps with less confidence than you.
And she did not speak out for a while ... well, lots didn't. They didn't think they would be believed, until recently.
I invite you to respond to my points, rather than just mud-slinging. I do not agree with you, but I have tried to engage in a difficult topic. You may just be trolling, but if not ... do you really not see any of the points above? Or how the majority would likely agree with them?
Rocky IV, Rocky's speech post-fight.
This was the catalyst for the fall of the Communism. Without that speech, the Berlin Wall would still be up and the Soviet Union would still exist.

There is a scene in the movie “Irreversible” which is pretty memorable.
At least if you go into the movie with no prior knowledge it is.
“Oldboy” has a scene involving teeth which stands out in my memory.
There is also a scene in “Inception” where a train is coming towards the protagonist which is rather intense.
True Romance gunfight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8JhXv1hJrs
the climax scenes with the intense music that adds too it....requiem for a dream
and the last 15 min or so of "event horizon" that sh*t was VERY INTENSE
the countdown of the ship blowing up "alien"
lots of parts of "free solo"

I think you misunderstood. I was not commenting on the other movie or your take on it.
I was saying that the original version of the movie I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE has a pretty intense rape scene. It seems to be over and then starts up again. I was surprised it was allowed to be released.
I found this scene in 'Crash' to be really intense.
Watched it in the theater and it gripped me.
It still feels intense re-watching it, knowing how it goes.
Some really good ones in here, the one I most agree with so far is probably Training Day bathtub scene.
Adding one in that hasn't been mentioned:
Children of Men scene where (spoiler alert) Julianne Moore's character gets shot.
