I like the scene near the end of, “Statesman: The Golden Circle”, where Eggsy and his partner fight Agent Whiskey. The music goes real well with it, too.
Yeah, that was awesome. Vader shows just what kind of an implacable killing machine he was.
The entire movie The Raid: Redemption is basically one long fight scene. It is amazing, but extremely brutal.
Also, the end of The Wild Bunch, which inspired John Woo and other HK action directors.
The end of Serenity was pretty good too.
Every Bourne movie had at least one, like this one from The Bourne Supremacy and this one from The Bourne Ultimatum.
The battle on Cybertron starting the Bumblebee movie.
11 years and 5 movies later, they finally showed us the Transformers battle we wanted to see.
The final island assault in Commando.
Also John Matrix’s fight with Cooke if only for this dialogue:
Cooke: You scared, motherf*****? Well, you should be, because this Green Beret is going to kick your big ass!
Matrix: I eat Green Berets for breakfast.
The bathroom brawl in MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: FALLOUT.
You forgot the third line:
Matrix’s Daughter: I can’t believe all this macho bullshit!
Sorry, not Matrix’s daughter (Alyssa Milano)*; it was Rae Dawn Chong, the flight attendant. She also said something about eating too much red meat.
- She did have one good line: Not as nearly as nice as watching him smash your face in.
This fight was awesome, but pretty much everything in the movie was top notch.
Two crazy/brilliant fight scenes from Rick and Morty…
Rick vs. the President: Rick and Morty - All Rick Vs The President Scenes - YouTube
Pickle Rick vs. Jaguar: - YouTube
For my money, no one has beaten the final battle in Seven Samurai, in the village, in the rain…
And remember, no CGI. Just practical effects, stuntmen, and brilliant staging…
I read a theory that Vader was the reason the door wouldn’t open, as soon as the data is handed off and Vader reaches the door, it opens.
Can’t believe I missed gatopescado’s post. Especially when I used Sanjuro for an example of a great fight scene. There’s also the infamous arrow scene from Throne Of Blood, where Kurosawa used real archers, with real arrows, really shooting at Toshiro Mifune. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3GvVzvoEx4w
They promised to try and not hit him in the face.
Then you have *Hero’*s take on that sort of scene… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I87tDV_JTLQ
I think it opens because he cuts the lock mechanism with his saber.
I particularly like the first swordfight between Jack Sparrow and Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean. It was at that moment that my doubts about the movie turned into “this is truly going to be a swashbuckler of a movie of the old school”.
Which reminds me to bring up the brilliance of every Burt Lancaster/Nick Cravat “against all the guards” fight in The Crimson Pirate.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: the fight between the League and the Phantom’s men in Dorian Grey’s library. Fast-paced, intercut brilliantly between the various characters…Captain Nemo proving to be a martial bad-ass, the gag with Dorian taking a full clip of bullets at point blank range: (“I’m complicated!”) and the great ending with Mina ("Now that’s your biggest mistake: thinking I need them to protect me!"). The movie itself could have used another re-write, but that scene is gold.
Vader and Luke at the end of Empire. The kid’s really showing his stuff, then daddy gets tired of screwing around and, as Chuck Klosterman put it, beats him like Ike used to beat Tina.
Fight Scene from 48 Hours
I loved it for realism in the quote.
- I’m too fuckin’ tired to put my hands up. My gun and my badge are over on the car. *
This sword fight from The Mask of Zorro left me breathless:
