OT: Favorite Fight Scene

The Raid 2

Mad Dog and Glory. David Caruso's character fights a thug on Deniro's behalf, very realistic knuckle busting. In the middle of it, the thug picks him up and moves toward a window. Caruso says something along the lines of whoah whoa whoa, fuckin window. Thug acknowledges this isn't that kind of fight and throws him against the wall. Great little movie.

Elle Driver vs Beatrix Kiddo

Will never be able to listen to freebird the same after seeing kingsman

If you have never seen it, the sword duel at the end of Rob Roy is just great.

An all time classic is being left out: Nordberg's gunfight in The Naked Gun.

Vs Magua in Last of the Mohicans

Hands down Ip man vs 10 black belts

Pretty much any fight scene from The Raid: Redemption or The Raid 2. This scene from Raid: Redemption might take the cake though.. https://youtu.be/KBNVvFBTYwM Edit: Dang it don't know what I'm doing. Need to learn how to post videos. Go to this address and you will thank me later. Also watch Merantau. Iko Uwais is a phenomenal martial artist out of Indonesia. These are crazy martial arts flicks that are ultra realistic. Similar in style to older Tony Jaa flicks except for they have excellent storylines.

Jet Li
Kiss of the dragon.
The scene where he enters a room that just happens to be a dojo

Also known as the greatest moment in fighting game history:

Frank dukes vs Tommy Lee in the original blood sport

Any fight that included Dalton from Roadhouse. The one where he rips Wesleys man dudes throat out was epic!

vs everyone

There were some absolutely amazing fight scenes in Hannah - my favorite is her escape/abort scene.

McGruber vs. Dieter Von Cunth

Warrior. Tommy vs Brendan

People in this thread are saying Harry Potter? How about Arnold vs. the Predator. Try watching a real movie.

And how about Robot Jox as a runner up?

Not exactly from a movie, but the show was better than one....best fights: 

1. Tony vs. Ralphie in season 4 of The Sopranos. 

2. Tony vs. Bobby in season 6 of The Sopranos. 

The Sopranos is the best television series of all time and nothing will ever be better...not ever.  Just finished watching it a 2nd time this summer.  Watch it if you haven't already and if you've watched it, watch it again.  It might be the only series that is watchable over and over...just overall amazing in every way. 

not the best, but a few probably have missed this gem of a movie.

Chambers vs. Boyka in Undisputed 2. Especially the second fight.

Brangelina vs Brangelina in Mr and Mrs Smith

Just about any scene from 13 Assassins is up there.  As others have said, Hit Girl from Kick Ass, Old Boy, and Jason Borne fights are up there.    First IP Man was great too. 

To be meta, the element that make a fight good are:

1.  Something at stake. (Good vs. Evil)

2.  Your hero has a very particular set of skills and is otherwise a bad ass.

3.  The odds are against your hero despite being a bad ass.  They are blinded, outnumbered or otherwise at a disadvantage.  This allows them to be at the peak of matching their skill to the challenge.   The arc of the movie ups the boss fights so that the stress keeps amping up and we experience the flow of our hero matching the challenges.

Or the fight between Al and Bulloch at the start of Season 2.

Warriors against the guys in the baseball uniforms and Kiss makeup

The fight scene at the end of the first Lethal Weapon. Whaddya say, Jack. Like a shot at the title? Don't mind if I do.

absolute knock down, drag out.......a great fight scene, and the best "girl on girl" fight on film.

The end of True Lies.

Luke vs Vader (ESB)

Hector vs Achilles (Troy)

The Ride of the Rohirrim (ROTK) continues gives me chills even 10+ years after the movie is made.

The Viper vs. The Mountain (GoT)

Rocky vs. Drago - He's not a machine!! He's a man!!

Dale vs. Brennan (StepBrothers)

Harrison Ford vs. All the Terrorists (Air Force One)

How can any of you leave Any Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can off this list?!?

The first fight scene between Batman and Bane in "The Dark Knight Rises". I could watch that all day.

Yoda vs. Dooku

Mexican standoff in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

GI Jane. "Nuf said."

Too many to list:

Oldboy: The side hall camera fight.

Last Samurai: Algren in the streets. It happens so fast, they replay the whole fight in slo-mo. Completely bad ass.

But I think my all time favorite is Brotherhood of the Wolf. Manny's fight scene in the rain. I struggle to find one better.

The Kitchen Scene from the Raid 2.

This is from Riki-Oh. The whole movie is pretty awesome. I would recommend it.

Sean Penn at the end of Bad Boys or the Soda Pop can scene.

Bruce Lee when he fought and destroyed Chuck Norris in "Return Of The Dragon".

Donnie Yen as Ip Man when he fought the 10 Karate students in the dojo.
