Film's Greatest Fight Scenes

[Johnn Johnston]

River Tam beating up a bar full of people in Serenity.

Let this be a lesson to all; You can't mention the words "River Tam" and "Beating up" on The Escapist without this appearing;

Spoiler: This is our White Whale.

Annie C, I'm surprised you dropped the ball on this one.

 

[Spinwhiz]

The fight in "The Count of Monte Cristo" was pretty good

 

[RAWKSTAR]

Mew Vs Mewtwo.



On a serious note I would say the fight scene from Matrix 2 with the hundreds of Agent.Smiths!

 

[TOGSolid]

This one from The Protector [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXIGP6_fNZk]

This is easily one of the best fight scenes ever made in a movie ever. Doing it all in one cut is a lot more of a momentous moment in action film making than most people realize.

Oldboy has been mentioned thankfully... but no one has linked the scene yet. What you're about to see... is awesome.

[Sketchy]

I'm suprised nobody has mentioned, in my opinion, the best fight scene of all time.

Breathtaking.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Run Fatboy Run

Also the scene from Sin City where he fights Kevin. That was pretty awesome. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LlnSfr2DBGw

 

[TopRopePiledriver]

The Hammer/Corridor fight (massacre?) from Oldboy.

[Sombra Negra]

I'm surprised that no one mentioned The Lobby from The Matrix.

Always puts an insane grin on my face.

Touche sir.

 

[Mean Mother Rucker]

The ending scene of The One with Jet Li on top of that Aztec/Mayan/Whatever pyramid.

I was expecting that to appear, I was just too lazy to find the image myself. I'd give quite a lot to see that movie made. Someone get word to Joss Whedon, I'll sell various possessions/body parts/family members to raise funds for him to make that movie!

 

[BGinsanity]

Pretty much every fight scene from Fight Club. Mainly the last scene where Tyler beats the shit out of (pause for effect) HIMSELF!!!

This is definately my favorite "martial arts fight," but other than the fights this movie is beyond inane.

And this one, despite the fact that Harrison Ford throws a really crappy punch.

One of the greatest fight scenes i thought was in the movie The Protector near the end of the film, there is a scene where he fights off like 50 different guys while breaking their limbs in the process. That was a great fight

 

[Jamash]

Obviously the epic battle from 'They Live' is the best fight scene, but a honourable mentions should go to the tournament scene in 'One Armed Boxer 2' and the final fight in 'The Mystery of Chess Boxing'

Spoiler: The tournament scene in One Armed Boxer 2

Spoiler: The Mystery of Chess Boxing

Final fight starts at about 3:45

Outside a Martial Arts film I would go for one of these fights from 'The Warriors'.

Spoiler: Warriors vs. Baseball Furies

Spoiler: Warriors vs. Punks

 

[Dr_Baron_von_Evilsatan]

The first thing that comes to mind is the oil fight from The Transporter

 

[JohnneyLightning]

After seeing the movie, I love the fight scenes from "The Drunken Master" or something like that. It's a Jackie Chan movie where he becomes an incredible fighter when he's wasted.

 

[Mr. Payne]

Every fight scene with a claymore in it. Or space battles.
