Yoda was funny to watch.  I am sorry, but that was quality.

The rest of the movie sucked horribly, though.  My cousin and I counted, and Haden Christinsen only makes ten different faces during the whole movie.  Now that's acting >:(

Greatest fight scene has gots to be twenty minute fight scene in "They Live" in which brutal blow after brutal blow is dished out in a gritty, all-too-real fashion. It's simply BRILLIANT!

What about the Patriot, I haven't seen it in a while but I remember I was impressed by the battles.

The Patriot? That's just a poor man's "Braveheart"

Nice way of putting it Ent.

I think Rocky and Apollo vs. Ivan the incredible Russian folk was a much better fight. Just because one of them died.

Spiderman versus Doc Ock every single freaking time they got together to drink tea and discuss world politics.

Six String Samurai had a really cool fight. Buddy takes on the Red Army that is guarding Lost Vegas.

Sure, warn him.  That takes out 25% of the fun... You could have pointed him towards the Introduce Yourself page and had him figure out the hazing on his own like the rest of us...

If Patriot was a poor man's Braveheart (which it was), then Braveheart was a poor man's Spartacus. Those two movies practically made me swear off Gibson altogether, but then I rewatched Road Warrior and renewed my faith.

The first drunk fight in Chan's second Legend of Drunken Master


I've got to vote for the ladder scene from First Strike instead.  It's the quintessential Jacky Chan scene.  The drunk scene is cool, but it isn't as foundationally representative of Jacky's ability to use random objects in his fights.

YOu're just mad because we still pick on you.

I'm sorry, Ent, you're rock. Yoda kicked some butt.
I do agree with Gemm though. Spidey and Doc Ock are where it's at.

I have very little else to add.

the big brawl at the end of mclintock was hysterical. The original Rocky was good because it was very... painful.

I really liked the Yoda fight, but the fact that he was CGI, I'm afraid, took a bit of the thrill away from it.

that doesn't bother me at all. I don't see why it should. many of those listed here are full of CGI.
