Old one: there’s a scene early on in Gunga Din where one of the British soldiers gets into a fight in a local bar. A couple of his friends walk by, see him fighting, and just join in, and the three of them casually clear out the place, with banter.
The bathhouse fight with Viggo Mortensen in Eastern Promises looked exactly like you would expect tough, trained people fighting for their lives to look. It wasn’t slick or glamorous, it didn’t look choreographed (though of course it was), and it was just absolutely gut-wrenching.
Who Am I, the fight between Jackie Chan and the two guys on top of the building near the end of the movie
I thought the fight between Jack Reacher and the guys who were sent to beat him up was quite realistic and well done. Pretty much how you would expect a fight between an MP and a bunch of bigger-but-untrained thugs to go down, with no wasted moves or “rules” being followed.
Bruce Lee movies don’t count. But yeah.
Seconding the elevator fight in CA2:WS and Black Widow’s chair fight in The Avengers.
Gotta include the Bob Barker brawl from Happy Gilmore and Swayze vs the world in Roadhouse.
Gina Carrano versus Michael Fassbender in Haywire.
Well, that was a little on the gruesome side. I had heard that was a tough movie. Wow.
Bond and the Soviet assassin on the train in From Russia With Love.
Kirk and the Klingon bad guy on the Genesis planet in ST III: The Search for Spock. “I… have had enough… of you!”
The President and the Russian terrorist at the end of Air Force One. “Get off my plane!”
The older woman and the girl battling it out in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Jason Bourne takes out a roomful of Italian policemen; I forget which movie.
Nitpick: Grant was working for SPECTRE, not the Soviets. He didn’t even know what SMERSH was.
Carry on… 
Pretty much anything by Jackie Chan ever. Even leaving aside many scenes with props, in his prime his stuff was just jaw-dropping.
I saw “Drunken Master 2” during a limited theatrical release (the original subtitled HK film, not the cleaned up and dubbed American version). Each fight set piece kept topping the previous ones until the final showdown in the foundry, the audience reaction was a continuous series of “Oh my god, did you see that? They can’t top that. Holy crap, did you see THAT!?” (rinse, lather, repeat).
The end fight with his former bodyguard Ken Lo is pretty amazing. Here’s the whole 8+ minutes (albeit in French).
Even without spitting fire and getting kicked into a pit of flaming coals it's amazing stuff.You want a fight scene? **This **is a fight scene:
Put Conrad in the hospital and forced the series to shut down production. They finished shooting the scene at a later date and kept it in the episode anyway!
I’ve always liked the fight scenes in any Hitchcock film. They are usually done in close ups and it involves two very untrained fighters grappling each other and each man is terrified and angry.
But yeah, that fight scene in They Live is the bomb.
Blunt objects are allowed?
Cronenberg always seems to bring it with at least one hard-to-watch fight scene per film. :eek:
The above-mentioned Daredevil hallway fight scene:
Hmmm. Gray area. But there’s nothing like a nice piece of hickory.
Do fake balsa wood spears count? :dubious:
That was the first thing that came to mind for me.
One more vote for the ‘put on the sunglasses!’ fight in They Live.
This one has only intermittent grappling, but might qualify anyway: Edgar Kennedy versus Harpo and Chico in Duck Soup:
I know it’s not a popular entry in the franchise, but the fight in T3 between Arnold and the TX was pretty kickass.
(They Live was already taken)
