Best fight ever? - Page 7

Northerner · 09-02-2008, 12:50 AM

Less crap and more substance.

As of now, I'm still leaning to They Live (ha!) or Oldboy (woot!) or wtf? was it Spiderman or some such shit?

Best. Fight. Cinema. Ever.

If it really is only the crap I know, I'll be sad.

Romeo & Juliet, 1968 edition

Romeo Vs. Tybalt

Something about this fight is just amazing. No stupid wires or acrobatic bullshit, no 10 person martial arts training and choreography. It REALLY strikes me as a true fight, with 2 angry people, spending every second of the fight looking for an advantage, no matter how small or cheap. The fight looks completely improvised, start to finish.

Pause at 1.55 not even close haha.

Would post a fight scene but they all been posted already it seems.

Damn Hatorade, Kerri Strug aint fucking playing anymore!

Gymkata...man. It's fucking horrifying to think that at one point, someone had that screenplay, and was going around telling people "This is a good one!". Then he found a SECOND idiot to hand him a few million to "bring that masterpiece of the screen!". It's not even bad enough in that cheesy way to make it campy. It is officially, the only KNOWN martial arts movie that Michael Dudikoff and Steve James turned down. More awesome goodness:

I think if you watch a guy in white tights destroy your village, you lose some higher reasoning/logic skills. Also, general rule, if your town is threatened by a gymnast, don't build pummel horses in town square.

haha

HOW DARE YOU QUESTION THE MAJESTY OF GYMKATA

I like the capoeira clip though.

Awanka · 09-04-2008, 02:24 AM

Eh.. Gymkata wasn't that bad. I liked the Village of the Damned. It was like a very mild Silent Hill.

Greyform · 09-04-2008, 03:22 AM

not one of the best, but a cool scene just the same.

BigMovieBuff · 09-05-2008, 09:06 AM

Bad Boys was a great flick.

Kugbok_Fennin · 09-05-2008, 10:01 AM

Can't believe no one has mentioned this one yet...

Cool Hand Luke

Hatorade · 09-05-2008, 10:11 AM

Mainly because that was a beating not a fight haha.

That guy is immortal, I don't think a bag of coke will do the trick.

Several scenes from Raging Bull are good.

Can't believe no one's mentioned the scene with the aerial sword fight from Big Trouble in Little China, heh.

If it's gunfights, the shootout in Heat is tops.

For battle scenes, a very influential one is the final battle from Seven Samurai. Still good even today.
