Favorite fight scenes

Post by Fist and Faith »

For swords, nothing compares to Rob Roy. Just amazing!!!

Hand-to-hand, I go with Roadhouse. Lone Wolf McQuade is pretty great too.

Of course, I'm not including wire acts at this point, like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon's awesome fights.

There is a fight scene in the movie "They Live" that is astounding. Its not good its long and unintentionally funny. I can't do justice to it. It has to be experienced to be believed. :-)

Jack's fight with his boss in Fight Club.
Any fight from Equilibrium.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Fight Club! I'd forgotten about that! Yes.. That rates in my books as well.

Any Which Way You Can, Ali, Rocky; all had incredible fight scenes. My favorites were the Mr. Smith/Neo fights in the Matrix, though. And the Spiderman/Green Goblin one was excellent. I had a problem with most of the Batman fight scenes, because they looked too much like they were choreographed. Same thing with Daredevil.

Yup! And though I haven't seen nearly all of his, what, 5,000 movies?, my favorite fight is on the roof in Who Am I?

I can't even tell you what movie it was, I was really just channel surfing, but saw a Jackie Chan fight that lasted at least 10 minutes, the camera never left him, all one take and superb choreography. He got rapped on the knuckles at one point, I don't think it was deliberate, you could tell it hurt, and they just kept filming. It was funny and cool to see. Anyone know this movie? I'd like to see it again.

The guy's possibly not human. I can't believe some of the things he does! Not even just the fights, which are incredible. All his own stunts, always breaking bones.

The only easy part to believe is the always breaking bones part. :)

Kill Bill Volume 1, Uma Thurman versus Vivica A. Fox, Uma thurman versus Lucy Liu, and Uma Thurman versus hundreds of Japanese men with swords.

My fav has to be from 'Kiss of the dragon' where jet li walks into the martial arts dojo full of dudes with batons and creams them all. Next has to be the final scene from matrix revolutions.
