Intense emotions cloud the ability to become lucid. In a nightmare, if your feeling pants-shittingly terrified, your not going to become lucid most likely. Being in any intense emotion, or intense violence, makes you unlikely to stop, and take a step back, and think "This could all be a dream, seriously."
So, what I would advise you to do, is either 1: try to make intense experiences a dream sign. Before you go to bed, think "If things move really fast/things get intense, then I will stop and calm down, and then do an RC." OR you could do 2: Before you go to bed, tell yourself that you will be calm/have a slow dream, and you will RC.
Autosuggestion or MILDing would work best with that. But don't worry, many people get it to the point where when something intense goes on, they immediately know they're dreaming, without an RC. It'll probably happen with you too eventually.
