I'm trying to figure out a good action/drama movie to watch so I'm curious what you guys think are some of the best fight scenes in recent (past 30 years) movie history. I mean like fight scenes with weight behind them ya know?


Like emotionally charged shit, like when Anakin and Obi-Wan faced each other as enemies for the first time in Star Wars episode III. I know the prequels weren't like crazy good movies as a whole, but that fight scene really put the 3rd episode up on my all time favorite movies. So ya that's what I'm talking about, any suggestions?


Oh also, the fight scene between the fellowship and the orcs in the first LOTR, where Boromir just gets ****ed up and it's all mind-blowing, yeaaa.

The Kill bill fights were good. Especially the crazy 88's fight.

Rama vs The Assassin (The Raid II) is an all-time great fight scene.

Have to agree here. That was one fight where you didn't know who to root for.

MOS Superman vs Zod and company
Amazing Garfield Spider-Man vs Electro
Ang Lee Hulk vs tanks and choppers

Good choices so far.

Pretty much every fight scene in Blade 1 and 2.
Same with Best of the Best.
The Rocky series.
Indiana Jones has had some short but sweet fights in all his movies.

Placidity
I thought the Future X-men vs Sentinels massacre was well done.

riv6672
Ah, good one.

King Kong Vs the V Rexes in the '05 remake.
Actually, the humans Vs giant bugs in that movie, too.

Some cool ones..also most of Jet-Li and Tony Jaa are badass.

Jet Li's best fight was his one shot throat kill in Unleashed! thumb up laughing out loud

Seen Bruce and Jet mentioned but no Chan
Cant go wrong with just about any fight scene he's ever done, from Drunken Master to his gotten older American stuff.

The Avengers fight scenes were pretty well choreographed in my opinion. a lot of the fight scenes in Blood and Bone were excellent. Ong Bak fight scenes are still classics. someone mentioned earlier the Colosseum fight between Bruce and Chuck - gets my vote as the best fight scene of all time.

Estacado
Short but awesome.

I love all the Highlander films (the tv series too) but Highlander: Endgame stands out above all the others, imo. It's one of my favorite movies of all-time. Probably one of my top 3. It has some of the most awesome fight scenes. It's mostly sword combat (fencing) but there's also a fantastic unarmed fight between Adrian Paul and a badass Asian guy after they duel with swords a little. If you're not a hardcore Highlander fan you probably won't enjoy it as much as you would if you were. But, I still highly recommend you give it a try. Besides awesome fight scenes it's got a great soundtrack and breathtaking scenery. I rank the film up there with movies like Russell (sp?) Crowe's Gladiator.

Thank you!

I was getting worried that this thread would simply be full of the Raid and CA: TWS bull****.

This fight in particular is the GOAT:

Aww bless you guys, you're all so young. Oh to be fourteen again.

Wheels on meals. Jackie vs Benny the Jet.

Look it up, thank me later.

The Matrix movies and the Winter Soldier had some great fight scenes.

the courtyard battle scene between the team of blind musicians and that bo staff fighter and ring fighter. the whole concept of that scene was awesome; the way the music was intigrated into the fight was very creative. And i'm usually not a fan of the high-wire flying fight stuff lol

(sorry couldn't find this scene without the spanish dub)
