While it doesn't work so much for action shots, if a shot is that important, I'll bracket, even in film. I suspect that it might also be possible to apply HDR techniques (for bringing out detail, not the crazy tone mapping) to scans of film, whether you scan one negative at multiple exposures, or you bracket in film and scan three frames.
