Best movie fight scenes
« on: July 04, 2004, 02:04:36 AM »
I just rewatched gangs of new york and was stunned by the primalness of the opening fight... Its what I imagine fights in RPG games to be like.

Anyhow I was wondering, what fights in movies do you like... no special requirements this time, just if you thought it was cool or not.

I love the sword fight in "The Princess Bride."

The dialogue is great, and it's just fun to watch. :)

I love the fights in stuff like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" obviously. I mean that's like saying you like the light saber battles between Luke and Vader in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Less obviously... well, I love the fight scene in "Bridget Jones' Diary".

And er, not a movie, but the fight scene from the Firefly episode "Safe" is a work of art.

The Matrix. Enough said.

Fight Club had well done fights. Not cool, very ugly but delibrately so - good directing.

Can't think of anymore, and besides, I really need to pee.

Kiss of the Dragon had some cool fight scenes.  In fact, quite a lot of cheap chinese/japanese movies have some pretty cool stuff.

A couple of the fight scenes from T1 and T2 were ok... haven't bothered to see T3 though.

In addition to all the ones that have already been stated, how can you forget the big fight between Achilles and Hector in Troy??

Some of us thought the movie looked like a piece of total tripe and didn't see it.

The fight with the skeletons in Jason and the Argonaughts

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

The lightsaber battle with Maul, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in Phantom Menace

The siege of Gondor in Return of the King, most specifically the charge of the Rohirrim and the duel between Eowyn and the Witch-King

The defense of the Zion dock in Matrix Revolutions

The fight in the Amazonian bar in The Rundown, with the whip guys

There's more, but that will do for now.

The fight between Saruman and Gandalf was pretty cool.  

And Aragorn and the Nazgul, on top of weathertop.

Some of the special effects in the Matrix Reloaded fight scenes were ok...

Yoda was crap. All the episode 2 fights sucked. The episode 1 three way one was way better.
