Best fight scenes?
- Thread starter Einion
- Start date
Guns - Love the matrix lobby scene.
Bareknuckles - Jet Li in Fist of Legend. Although Ong Bak has some devastating blows landed.
Swords/knives/sharp sticks - not really in this category, but Clint Eastwood in Pale Rider...\"nothin\' like a fine piece o\' hickory\"
Blender - anything Jackie Chan or Jet Li. The ability to use ANYthing in a fight is done so well by them, it\'s amazing.

Zoolander - That was alternately sooo lame and then side splittingly hilarious. Yes, the gas station scene was funny. The eulogy at the funeral was hilarios too.

\"who could have dreamed that an innocent gasoline fight could end so horribly?\" (or something like that - great line)

while it dosent use props, i love the \"duel\" in the bar. where he has to say 20 things about his nose.
than again, i love steve martin, and i\'m a big fan of Cyrano. So the movie was automatically a favorite.
good stuff.
oh i think a favorite fight scene for me...i\'m not a huge fightscene fan, so while ive seen them, i dont remember alot of them. but i did like all the fights from \"romeo and juliette\" with DiCaprio, the one where they used the exact lines but in modern day. i guess i just like the guns as swords.
OHHH and the fencing scene in the beginning of pirates of the carriabien. thats good stuff
and of course. monty pythons Black Knight fight scene \"COME BACK YA PANSY\" \"I\'LL BITE YER LEGS OFF\"

Not in a movie but in real life next door to my aunt and uncles place. We watched a very slow motion fight occur between a VERY drunk husband and wife. Rolled around in the gutter and what passed for punches were very slow, gentle pushes in the face. Sad, funny, wierd.

Two drunk people fighting usually is funny.
And really old people too.

I was super impressed how well the insults still worked. I\'m pretty sure they are all from the play or at least from the Jose Ferrer version.

I\'m finally watching \"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon\" for the very first time (yeah, I\'m really behind in my movie watching), and I the fight scenes in there are so... eye-popping, action-packed, physics laws-defying, incredible!
Apparently flying is only a state of mind... only achieved when you\'re trying to kill somebody, also.
But I\'ve only gotten to watch part of it so far, so nobody say anything that gives the ending away!

Considering the symbol \"y\" was originally pronounced \"th\", how would you pronounce Englysh?

Well, I don\'t think I\'ll give anything away, but there\'s a nice, if fairly simple fight scene where Chow uses a willow switch while his opponent uses Green Destiny. It\'s part of the mystique that he can parry steel with a soft stick that gets missed by a lot of watchers, what with the amazing girl-on-girl scenes.Originally posted by Duende
