From Ong Bak 2: [Skills test](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpJ3eM1p458) [Slaver fight](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6k6UerIOb4) There’s a truly epic fight that basically comprises nearly the entire last 3rd of the movie, but I’ll let you find that on your own.

> [@The\_Other\_Waldo\_Pepper](#): > > [Daredevil](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B66feInucFY)? There was an episode… I thought it was episode 3… where Daredevil fought down (through) 8 entire flights of stairs of bad guys and ninjas in one uncut running scene. Look, I may hate ninjas more than boiled canned peas. Still, that fight earned Respect. ---

I agree with the youtuber who commented that the scene was the best part of the entire movie. (Though the [opening car chase](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfYC_CBNtiM) deserves some credit too. [Opening pre-credit sequence and bathroom fight](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNvzNWuzI9Y) from _Casino Royale_. (FF to 2:34 to start the ass-kicking.) Have we dealt with _The Matrix_ movies yet?

Bruce Lee in _Enter the Dragon_ has already been mentioned. Lots of good fights in that one. Bruce’s co-stars were also good. For sheer brutality there is the fight between Jim Kelly and the villain: [Enter the Dragon William Vs Han Good Quality - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MJfW7-isPA) For laughs, there is John Saxon’s fight: [Roper vs Tournament Competitor - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP6N6z3SvYo) I think my favorite Bruce Lee fight is in _Game of Death_, against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: [- YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_nNdI1K6Q0) ---

I could only find a couple of trailers on YouTube, but the movie _Swashbuckler_ has a pretty good duel between Robert Shaw and Peter Boyle. YouTube does have the classic duel between Tyrone Power and Basil Rathbone in _The Mark of Zorro_: [The Mark of Zorro (1940) Tyrone Power vs Basil Rathbone - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB8tiSMCwRE) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/post-some-epic-movie-fights/771005.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/post-some-epic-movie-fights/771005.md?page=4)
