Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: AD on February 09, 2005, 05:34:52 AM Quote Qui-Gon jin & Obi-Wan Kenobi VS Darth Maul (Star Wars Episode 1) 9/10 the fight in Star Wars Episode one is good but they ruined it by cutting and intersplicing the sequence with all the other stuff that was happening - plus the way Maul dies was pretty crappy. Quote Neo VS Agent Smith (The Matrix) 9/10 Even though Reeves and Co only had a few months to train, they pulled it off - its such a shame that their fighting styles were dumbed down in the later movies. If you look at the top 20 fights of all time, you'll see Jackie Chan is in almost all of them. My personal favorites are: Police Story 2 - the bit in the playground where Chan has to face lots and lots of hoods. Meals and Wheels - The fight between Chan and Benny the Jet was superb, but the re-match in Dragons Forever wasn't as good, IMO. Fist of Legend - every fight is very good. there is a Donnie Yen movie that I like too but I can't remember the name of it, but its meant to re-define what is meant by hyper-kinetic fight sequences. Legend of Drunken Master or Drunken Master II (uncut Chinese version, not the hatchet US version) is perhaps the best hyperkinetic fight and is yet to be rivalled. Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: AndyC on February 09, 2005, 12:37:07 PM Three that spring immediately to mind are:
Roddy Piper and Keith David in They Live The punch-up at the end of The Quiet Man The brawl at the end of Blazing Saddles Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: odinn7 on February 09, 2005, 12:52:54 PM Almost any fight scene in Equilibrium.
Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Evan3 on February 09, 2005, 04:59:26 PM By far the greatest fight scene ever is that from the Matrix 2 on the freeway. I will say that it would be hard to ever surpass anything like that.
However, I am sure you all know David Twohy of Pitch Black fame. I think he is the greatest action director of our time. The scenes he comes up with in Chronicles were masterful, and he isn't afraid of killing the hero. My favorite martial artist is Jet Li, and Kiss of the Dragon is his finest film. When he takes out the room of black belts and then the Russian twins, it is just tres impressive. Lets not forget these classics Spider Man Vs. Green Goblin Arnold Vs. T-1000 Indiana Jones Vs. The bald Nazi and the propeller plane These scenes will never cease to amaze me. Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Menard on February 09, 2005, 05:03:04 PM Does the movie ROADHOUSE count as a fight scene? (:
Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Jack Corbett on February 09, 2005, 05:30:10 PM I included the highway sequence.

Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Jack Corbett on February 09, 2005, 11:12:38 PM I was talking about The Matrix Reloaded. Sorry, but I have not yet seen "Roadhouse".
Menard, I need to ask you something REALLY important. Did you have a discussion yesterday with a person called Travis or BOB? If so, that was one of my friends at school. I am panicking that he was kicked off of the website. Could you please answer? Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Menard on February 09, 2005, 11:31:58 PM I posted replies to and received such from someone using the screen name Travis and also someone using the screen name Bob (and bob, and BOB). All originated from the same IP address. We had a good thread going about the TV show AMAZON. Unfortunately, when the address was banned and their/his posts were removed, so was that entire thread.
Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Jack Corbett on February 09, 2005, 11:37:15 PM Ah, great...
He said to me today, after I told him, that he didn't know. He also said that he forgot to write the "Bob" back exactly. So that explains it. He also said you were a funny bastard. Great. Just when I could hve a discussion with someone I know from nearby... Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Menard on February 09, 2005, 11:45:23 PM I take it that 'bastard' is a compliment. It must be if it was used to describe me. (heh..heh)
Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Jack Corbett on February 09, 2005, 11:57:38 PM If I call someone a funny bastard, it IS a compliment.
Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Jack Corbett on February 10, 2005, 04:21:37 AM Ooh, wait, what about this:
Jack "Can't Get Enough Space" Corbett VS Menard and Brother Raganarok (Bad Movies.org) 10/10 **MUST SEE!** C'mon, I seriously cheesed those two off with the spaces. Isn't that right, Menard? Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Mr. Hockstatter on February 10, 2005, 11:17:46 AM That Bruce Lee movie where he was on the island competing in that tournament - it was either Enter the Dragon or Return of the Dragon. He sneaks down into the secret basement of the place and takes on about 50 guys. That was filmed in such a way that you could almost feel the bones cracking in every guy he hit. Fantastic direction, acting, camera work.
There were several other fights in that movie that were among the best of all time as well. Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Paul Westbrook on February 10, 2005, 02:27:39 PM Favorite fight scenes are chick fights from bad b movies like Swamp Women, or High School Hellcats. lol Just kidding.
Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Wence on February 10, 2005, 03:10:41 PM Luke versus Darth Vader in the 3th Part of the "good" Trilogy
All fights of Bud Spencer/Terence Hill against nonames/nobodies/the bad guys Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Menard on February 10, 2005, 03:24:48 PM Wence wrote:

And you always knew that a bunch of badguys were going to gang up on Bud, but he would always toss the whole bunch like ragdolls. Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Wence on February 10, 2005, 03:44:24 PM I like their fancy talking, too.
SpencerHill - that duo is an absolute must for b-movie-fans! Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Menard on February 10, 2005, 03:50:54 PM Wence wrote:

Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Wence on February 10, 2005, 04:00:43 PM Yes, especially in that western where they pose as government agents.
Alot of burbs and farts in a upper class restaurant, yeah, that´s what I like... Their movies is what I understand as "working class entertainment" and often they play figures that are described best as working class heroes.

Well, plus $3.95 shipping. Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Ellie on February 11, 2005, 11:47:40 AM Mine is between Ripley and the Queen in "Aliens".
Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Paul Westbrook on February 11, 2005, 12:55:21 PM Mr. Hockstatter, Swamp Women is the type of movie, that if you enjoy bad movies, it will be your cup of tea. I enjoy films like that with saturated color. Let me know what you think.
Title: Re: What are your favourite Fight Scenes Post by: Jack Corbett on February 11, 2005, 07:12:22 PM FINALLY!!!
Someone likes the Aliens finale other than me and my friends at school! Ooh, wait: The Underwater stand-off (Alien Resurrection) 10/10 **MUST SEE!** I liked Alien Resurrection. Unlike some people... (Walks off grumbling, sounding a bit lik Gregg the Grim Reaper) |
