07.19.13 | V for Vendetta final fight is actually kinda dumb but I love the "hands around your throat" part. |

07.19.13 | If you can count it as a 'fight scene', Boromir's death in the Fellowship of the Ring is my favourite scene ever. |
jdennis31
07.19.13 | Werd, that fits. I really liked that as well. Was thinking of something from LotR series but couldn't think of any one scene in particular. The whole Helms Deep battle was pretty badass. |

Agreed so hard.
Also, honestly; like Star Wars Episode III or not, the fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan is awesome |

07.19.13 | Matrix 2 with all the Smith clones |
Rowan5215
07.19.13 | Helm's Deep is pretty fucking amazing yeah but Boromir's death is just so much.... closer, more intimate, if you know what I mean. Sean Bean is a god of acting. |
Trebor.
07.19.13 | fight scenes in only the first matrix |

07.19.13 | Pelennor Fields? As a 9-year-old watching the scene when the mumakil charge, and even now, it still blows me away. |

07.19.13 | @dagrish lol. I love benedict cumberbatch, but that's the first thing i've seen him in outside of sherlock and star trek.
@rowan this used to crack me up. wonder if any other actor has died more in movies during their career http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sGR1-Wgo1M
I haven't seen the Matrix or Star Wars series in at least 5 years, think it's time to revisit |
tempest--
07.19.13 | come on treb you know the one i'm talking about it's pretty good |
grish
07.19.13 | same here actually, i just saw that video the other day |
Rowan5215
07.19.13 | Yeah true about the Sean Bean thing but he always does it fucking perfectly. |
SitarHero
07.19.13 | Oldboy corridor is a classic! Good call.
My other favourite that doesn't get much mention is the climactic fight in Serenity between Mal and The Operative. Brutal, realistic, and thoroughly badass. |
jdennis31
07.19.13 | I was actually trying to decide on that one and V for Vendetta. I just rewatched firefly and saw serenity for the first time, that was a great scene. Redband trailer for new Oldboy is out, looks pretty bad to me. A bit of a change on storyline it seems but still has a lot of the same scenes, just less gritty looking. |

07.19.13 | Bourne vs Desh |
SitarHero
07.19.13 | Meh, redband and blu-ray do nothing for me personally. I don't notice the difference if I don't know about it.
What have they changed about the storyline? |
KenboSlice
07.19.13 | No last fight scene of Ong bak 2 or any fight from The Raid Redemption. List is invalid. |
jdennis31
07.19.13 | Not sure if there is a redband media, it just refers to R-rated trailers. It seems like it's less about the mystery surrounding his capture but about trying to rescue his daughter before she's killed? and he sees video interviews with her when she's older in the trailer so it seems like they took out the whole incest trickery. they might just be going at it at a different angle. I kinda wanna know the difference between menga and korean oldboy. |
jdennis31
07.19.13 | @kenbo yea, not sure why but martial arts fights don't really get me. i really liked the 10 man battle in ip man but the circumstances surrounding that fight is what makes the scene a lot more memorable. |
KenboSlice
07.19.13 | Bro, do you even fight scene? |

jdennis31
07.19.13 | Is the elephant tusk fight ong bak 1 or 2? that's definitely the best fight in that series. i've only seen the raid once but watching youtube clips now. forgot how bad ass it was. I like messy fights when the hero actually gets hit a lot. used to love jackie chan but think the fight scene production is too low quality now. |
KenboSlice
07.19.13 | Lol, Elephant Tusk fight scene is in Tom-Yum Goong (The Protector) |

Wait, WHAT?! That's not a minor change! That's like, the whole story! |
jdennis31
07.19.13 | @kenbo That's the not the first time I've confused those and been corrected -_- I can't remember anything from ong bak then.
@sitarhero the trailer isn't really too clear about that. seems like he could still be being tricked into a relationship with his daughter, since there is still a female protagonist helping him to save his "daughter" |

07.19.13 | Some of my favs:
Enter the Dragon's final fight
The Empire Strikes Back's "I am your father scene"

07.19.13 | And a kind of obvious movie which deserves a mention would have to be Fight Club |

07.19.13 | Oh blimey! Every fight in Snatch. And River Tam's reaver-pwnage would be up there too. |

07.19.13 | Oldboy fight is lol |
KenboSlice
07.19.13 | As much as I love Oldboy, the fight scene isn't that good. It's lame whenever you talk about best movie fights and that's the first thing anybody brings up. Makes me want to smack them. |
SitarHero
07.19.13 | Why is it lame?
I think most people agree that it's epic because of the odds in the fight and the juggernaut way Oldboy goes through everyone in a completely realistic non-highflying-kung-fu way. |
KenboSlice
07.19.13 | Because it's just kind of whatever. I'd probably like it more if people didn't circle jerk over it in fight scene discussions. |
menawati
07.19.13 | what i like about the equlibrium scene is you expect the black guy to give him a good fight but he just does him in 3 moves and cuts his face off |
Buzzkillr
07.19.13 | wow, most of those are really bad :| |
SitarHero
07.19.13 | The Achilles v Giant and Achilles v Hector fights in Troy are pretty cool. Definitely the best parts of the movie. |
Cipieron
07.19.13 | the Oldboy fight is realistic? um.. like how one guy with a hammer would beat 30 some guys single-handedly realistic? |
SitarHero
07.19.13 | I mean it's portrayed realistically. If a guy with a hammer were to go through 30 guys single-handedly, that would probably be the way. |
jdennis31
07.19.13 | Butt hurt people are lame. Old boy was done in one take, one take fight scene > any super edited fight scene |
jdennis31
07.19.13 | Buzzkiller put up something then and teach us about good fight scenes. Kenbo did that and put up some laughably terrible shit like that Bruce lee chuck Norris fight |
KenboSlice
07.19.13 | None of what I put up is terrible, they're all good fight scenes from actual martial arts movies. |
KenboSlice
07.19.13 | Also Bane vs Batman was a terrible fight. Chris Nolan can't direct action worth a shit. |
climactic
07.19.13 | PACIFIC RIM |
climactic
07.19.13 | EVERY BATTLE |

07.19.13 | terrible list 2/10 |
jdennis31
07.19.13 | @kenbo that bruce lee chuck norris fight could have been choreographed by a white kid on sputnik. Bane vs Batman is the best power fight ever. |
jdennis31
07.19.13 | but i do sort of agree. i thought about it for a second and i can't think of a single other christopher nolan action scene that I really like. |
jdennis31
07.19.13 | @punch which 2 did you like? |
KenboSlice
07.19.13 | Chris Nolan's only good action scene was the rotating hallway from Inception. |
SitarHero
07.20.13 | "ANY of the fight scenes from Riki-Oh"
Ha! Intestinal strangulation ftw. |
TheSpaceMan
07.20.13 | That lobby scene in da Matrix |
PistolPete
07.21.13 | This may not be the best fight scene ever, but it might have the best "ending" to a fight scene ever, cuz I hated that bitch so much and then she got what she deserved. (Kill Bill Vol 2)
