| Best fight ever? I'll ask, although I have bias of course. I just watched (again) the best fight ever in my opinion. "Old Boy", the hallway... I do not see how it can be better. As a kid I thought the half hour brawl from "They Live" was as good as it could get though. So, let's talk a bit and see what the best ever might be. If it is not Old Boy, I'll want to hear why the hell not though.

| the hilarious fight in They Live that lasted literally half the movie all because the angry black guy wouldn't put on a pair of sunglasses, is one of the most memorable moments in movie history ;p love you john carpenter. |

 | A bitter sweet life, has some really great fight scenes, and I love Old Boy, its sitting right next to me. The chase scene in Ong Bak is fantastic also imo, considering he does his own stunts and with out wires. Tony Ja is the man. |

| Don't get me wrong. The very best "fight scene" is probably from drunken boxer. I guess I am asking for mainstream non-ninja ass-kicking kinda stuff. And, you know, not Roadhouse.

| Any of jackie chan's drunken boxing fight scenes are sweet. Flashpoint has some sick fight scenes that look real. YouTube - Donnie Yen vs Collin Chou Flash Point End Fight |

Really, can you even compare matrix fights to something like The Good, The Bad and the Ugly... I mean when we are talking about real ass kicking? I really don't have an answer for what is the ultimate. I do know that it won't be Keanu though, even with much love for Point Break.

That was a crazy smart little clip and I don't know any way around saying so. The more you know, the better that will play. (I will stil say that Drunken Boxer or Iron Monkey still have some special scenes that might be irreplaceable today... but that was damned good man.) Old Boy, Hallway, tough still to beat. Mostly because it is so damned real. That *is* how fifty koreans will fight if they were in that hallway and that *is* how you would have to fight to get out. 99% you'd die, but there we are. Man, that tubby guy... he'd kill me and all but that was just so damned genuine. From start to end, it was just so right with how that kind of fight really goes... without superman of course.

+16 Internets | It's all about not killing the cameraman! I tried to find the great scene with Tony Lung fighting hundreds of bandits in Wong Kar Wai's Ashes of Time, but I failed. The greatness of that scene is that it's a race against time: Lung's character is almost blind and clouds are about to mask the sun.

| The choreography has aged somewhat, but the set-up and narrative running through it still makes it one of the best IMO:
