Another memorable Kung-Fu scene:
The final battle in Tai Chi Master. The best part is Jet Li answering his stunned nemesis asking “what fighting style is that?”
“Tai chi.”
After having seen that scene, I’ve been careful not to piss off those old people moving slowly in parks at dawn.
Which bounty hunter was played by the aforementioned Randall “Tex” Cobb.
Sorry, I just had to throw that in.
The fight between Timmy and Jimmy in SouthPark that was the fight scene and dialogue from They Live. That was good.
The one punch knockout that Julliette Lewis’s character gave someone in Natural Born Killers
I actually logged in to write “Sonny on Carlo” in THE GODFATHER, but since that’s the first one I’ll go with Uma “The Bride” Thurman and Vivica “Vernita” Fox in KILL BILL volume 1 (or Uma v. the Japanese mafia in the same movie).
How about Harvey Kietel in City of industry. When he finally finds the guy who double-crossed him and killed his brother he beats the piss out of him with a pistol. When he get’s him down to the ground he sits on top of him, takes a deep breath, casually puts his loaded gun away, and than proceeds to repeatedly bash the guys head against the pavement. He beats the hell out of him, and then savors the kill, opting to use his bare hands as a cathartic tool. One of the most intense vengance kills ever captured on film.
Another good one is in Die Hard. The blonde long haired guy (Hans?) that he ends up stringing up pretty good (but who comes back to be shot later). Man, they beat the living hell out of each other. That movie was the first time I had seen a flick where they let the good guy get the hell beat out of him and actually look beat up afterwards. No quick bouncing back for John McClaine. That whole movie is basically him taking serious beatings. One of the best films ever made.

Rocky 4, when against all possible odds or audience expectations 
Rocky stages a miraculous comeback and send the invincable Ivan Drago to the mat.
One that sticks in my memory is the scene in ** the bodyguard** where kevin costner’s character kicks the other bodyguard’s ass after they leave the club.
-problem is, it was a crappy movie.
also, in ** gangs of new york** when (cringe) leo dicapprio beats up that henchman of the main boss guy. Maybe it was the use of “the fishook” as a finishing move.
George McFly levelling Biff Back to the Future
How about Big Chris in “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels”? At the end when he crashes his car while Dog has a knife to his son’s throat. Then he jumps out and slams the mans head between a car door like 50 times. Hard to watch, but understandable. You don’t mess with someone’s children. . .
I’ll second everyone who named all of those Bruce Lee fight scenes. The man was definately at the top of the fighting food chain.
On Xena, in an episode entitled “Forgiven” she tries to mentor a “bad girl” named Tara back on the righteous path. Tara keeps on provoking Gabrielle, insulting her, hitting her, challenging her until Gabrielle finally takes her staff and beats the shit out of her. A very satisfying whooping.
I’ll second this one. I was literally rolling on the floor of the living room, laughing my ass off and cheering.
The scene in High Fidelity where shy, meek Dick introduces an old telephone into I. Raymond’s face at a high velocity, then tops it off by dropping a large window-unit air conditioner on his head.
This many posts and no one has mentioned Clint Eastwood yet?
The fight in “Any Which Way You Can” is a classic.
One of the only episodes I really liked, and quote often-
Dan comes home, Rosanne sees his knuckles are covered in blood.
Rosanne: I thought you said you were gonna talk to him!
Dan: I did talk to him!
Rosanne: What did he say?
Dan: I dunno, something about ‘Ow ow my face my face!’
King Arthur vs. The Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Can’t believe we’ve made it this far without mention that one.
The one punch kill from Bruce Willis in The Last Boy Scout.
And from my post in the other thread (favorite battle scenes): Arnie vs. Pussy Face in Predator.
Mongo of course. Who else took on 1500 lbs of animal?
#1 would have to be Sonny kicking Carlo’s ass.
A close second, though, is Ralphie beating the shit out of Scut Farcus in “A Christmas Story.”
Does self abuse count?
