Let’s not forget the scene in _Raiders of the Lost Ark_ where the guy is dexterously waving around that big-ass sword in such a dramatic fashion, when Indie suddenly and handily dispatches him. ---

_Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon_, any of the fights, but especially the one in the tavern. ---

The restaurant scene from “The Protector”. One continuous shot that’s like 7 minutes of pure Chaos. Hell just about any fight in that movie. I know “Ong-Bak” is better known, but for me “The Protector” is the far superior Tony Ja film. ---

Pretty much every gunfight in both John Wick films. Particularly the one where he takes the NJ PATH train from the Oculus to Canal street. The Hummer vs Ferrari chase scene in The Rock. ---

[Ip Man vs. 10 Japanese soldiers - _Ip Man_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGLv0WrNEIQ) Every fight in _One Punch Man_. The bored looks on Saitama’s face make me laugh. ---

I like the assault in Zero Dark Thirty and the border scene in Sicario. I also like the invasion sequence in Saving Private Ryan and in Dr Strangelove I like the scene where infantry has to retake the AFB. ---

Tony Stark takes on the bad guys in his first crude Iron Man armor, including flamethrower, and later returns in his much-improved armor to free the oppressed Afghan village, in the first _Iron Man_ movie. Much awesome. ---

I know “Ong-Bak” is better known, but for me “The Protector” is the far superior Tony Ja film. Is that the scene where he marches up the steps whippin’ ass every step of the way like he was in a 1980s video game? ---
