    My favorite is the barroom fight in Raiders.

    Of course that whole movie is one of my all time favorites period. Really
    captured the old 50s republic serials.

      Actually, my all time favorite fight scene is also from Raiders of the Lost Ark...But it's been posted before so I didn't bring it up until now:


      Just the classic "don't bring a knife to a gun fight".

      The movie fights I hate are when the hero is in a fight and it's "even" or the hero is losing...Then the hero is shot, stabbed, poisoned, beaten up and then only has one eye, one arm and one lung, now wins the fight when he couldn't win when he was healthy.

        Hard to believe no ones posted the greatest sword fight on film. Even better than Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone in Robin Hood.

    The battle at the House of Blue Leaves is my favourite. They included two Bruce Lee fights but left out the best. His fight with Han was cool but the battle against unending attackers underground was better. Hands to sticks to nunchucks, never tiring.

    Let's not forget the battle between a young, Darth Vada and Obi Wan Kenobie.

    They fought for almost a half hour.

    I Would Go For Edward Norton & Brad Pitt's Fight Club (1999) & Christian Bale's The Dark Knight (2008) Any Time & Equilibrium (2002) is Also Good !!

    Good call on the Ip Man fight scene. Can't wait to see the sequal.

    Here's my personal favorite toplist:

    NUMBER ONE:

    Tony Jaa - Tom Yum Goong (The Protecter)

    Best....fight scene....EVER!!



    NUMBER TWO:

    Jet Li - Fist of Legend

    His best fight scene in any movie - kind of like number one



    NUMBER THREE:

    Classic Jackie vs Benny - Wheels on Meals

    Probably Jackie's best straight up fight scene rather than stunt fight scene



    NUMBER FOUR:

    Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris - Way of the Dragon

    Top of the Bruce Lee fight scene heap



    NUMBER FIVE

    Tony Jaa - Tom Yum Goong (The Protecter)

    Another win for Tony Jaa. The longest continuous fight scene record was previously held by Jackie Chan, but he passed the torch on after this epic:



    NUMBER SIX

    Jackie Chan - Rumble in the Bronx

    Awesome stunt fight scene



    NUMBER SEVEN

    Seven Samurai by Akira Kurosawa

    All time classic and one of the greatest movies ever made.

    WARNING:     Some idiot put god awful music on this so turn your sound off. Sorry, was the best version on YouTube.



    NUMBER EIGHT

    Donnie Yen - Every fight scene in Ip Man



    NUMBER NINE

    Jet Li - Also every fight in Fearless

    Here's a compilation to get you started



    NUMBER TEN

    Ziyi Zhang vs. Michelle Yeoh

    Two legendary female martial artists and one of the best weapons fight scenes ever.

      Not a classic fight movie scene but the knife fight in the final battle of saving private ryan is a classic. It makes my blood run cold.

      I also like the bar fight in out for justice.

      I also agree with the original list containing the opening fight in Casion Royale. That is just cold. Even better with the deletes still in:

        Sorry, folks, Bruce Lee is the standard to be measured from.

        And you forgot OUT FOR JUSTICE with Steven Segal.

        Matrix, Hidden Dragon and other similar are entertaining as action, but Bruce in the man when it comes to mortal combat.

        Simply review all the Hall of Fame instructors and masters that ever met him.

    That movie is awesome, lot of people don't know about it even though Christian Bale is in it. Fight scenes are sick, how their trained since their young to know every type of shoot out and fight scene and combination of stats of what could happen... friggen crazy lol

      Equilibrium was quite impressive, I thought. It started out a bit slow, then really took off. Definitely not your average, same-old, same-old movie.

          I thought the son was legitimately nasty (I was thinking Hitler Youth, haha) until the very end when he showed his true side. Almost hated the kid until the end .

    I might also add that the ending scene in V for Vendetta was pretty amazing, with the knives and whatnot. Unbelievable, yes, but awesome nonetheless.
