Anything from Ong Bak.
Fearless
(As was stated earlier) Fist of Legend
The fight with the guy in white at the end of Unleashed.

Holy crap, I didn't realise how much Jet Li I watch.

Oh oh!

Chun Li (Jackie Chan) vs Guile (forgot his name) in City Hunter. And the fight after it, that was pretty cool.
 
Yeah, Tony Jaa can't seriously be left off this list can he? The man's acrobatic muay thai was made for kicking ass in movies.

And no Jet Li?

For hilarity I would suggest Tong Pho (spell?) vs Jean Claude van Damme's 'brother' in Kickboxer.

I enjoyed some of the fights in the X-men trilogy also, Jean vs Xavier anyone?
For just how classic it is though, I'd go with Bruce Lee vs. Mr. Han or Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris if I had to add something to the top ten.

What would I take out? Mortal Kombat.

I don't envy the man who tries to come up with this list.
 
wow. fist of legend isn't on the top 10? i think the fighting in that movie was way more intense than the legend of the drunken master.

jet li's fights in this movie:
fight with the uncle samurai. ~ karate against karate.
fight with his best friend. ~ karate against kungfu.
fight against the general. ~ tai-chi-like fighting against pure brute force.

How awesome was the blindfold fight? That kicked ass.
 
oh yeah. i also forget the fight with jet li against the whole school of karate students and their master. that was unfair. like 30 people against 1 person. =)

that also reminds me of a scene from kiss of the dragon. jet li did it again against the whole academy of karate cops.
 
I also agree that the Gandalf fight scene was actually a pretty crappy FIGHT scene. Good scene, not so good fighting.

As for Tony Ja, yeah he kicks ass, I totally support him replacing Gandalf.

The author also mentioned that he doesn't like the 1 vs many fight scenes, so everybody mentioning those, sorry. Its too bad since many, many of the best fight scenes are giant 1 vs many battles.
 
Some more good fights:

-The fight to not destroy your PC after it throws up a BSOD when you save your epic 400hr long game... which it then deletes.

-The fight to not cry after plugging in your brand-spankin' new 8800GTX SLi monster... only to be greeted by blue smoke.

-The fight to not kill the computer store guy who's trying to sell you Windows Vista because it has a "new 3D interface!".

-The fight to get your boss to upgrade the work computers to something faster than a P3.

-The fight to stay standing after downing a bottle of Jack Daniel's.
 
How about the Yoda fight scene? I thought that one was better than the Darth Maul scene.

No Jet Li?

Agreed. The yoda scene was the best in the series.

Agree on the Jet lee too.

And in Kill Bill the best fight was when she took on that School girl (cannot remember her name)

Some more:
Mr. & Mrs. Smith - Brad Pitt vs. Angelina Jolie (when he kicks her on the couch you can see the pleasure in his expression ) 😀
Transporter 2 - Fire Hose fight (Man wasn't that original)
Final fight in underworld (additional bonus Kate Beckinsale in tight leather)

Finally how come no hot female mud wrestling type fights??? :evil: :evil: :evil:
 
Grosse Pointe Blank - the final fight, it end is a tv on the head, the best, simply, also, for gunfights, the lobby scene form the matrix, but thats the only one
 
When Obi and Darth face off and Darth strikes him down, that was just too great.

Darth Vader: I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I met you I was but the learner. Now, *I* am the master.
Obi-Wan: Only a master of evil, Darth.

PWNT.

Darth Vader: Your powers are weak, old man.
Obi-Wan: You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

MORE PWNT. OBI PWNTS!
 
This a very import topic! I want to interject a little old into this discussion by adding a little old school.

Any which way you can – Finial fight between Clint Eastwood's character and Jack Wilson's character.

The Last Dragon – Leroy vs (who the master?) sho'nuff! leroy catching bullet in teeth and bad 80's music.
 
Maybe I'm a sucker for big budget bad-ass somewhat realistic fight scenes, but.....

In a general, yet no particular order.

Lethal Weapon 1 - Riggs vs. Mr. Joshua (Gibson vs. Busey) on Murtaugh's front lawn after they drive a police car into his house. Spotlight provided by police chopper, 8 foot metal pole vs. billy club with a broken fire hydrant drenching them both?!?! DAMN!!!

Snatch - Mickey O'Neil vs. large bare knuckle boxer is last fight scene. Mickey (Brad Pitt) is fresh off a drinking binge at the wake of his mother, gets the crap kicked out of him for 6 or 7 rounds before being flattened by an uppercut. "All he has to do is stay down." He gets up and lays out the guy twice his size with one punch, dooming his tribe of Pikies, who had the turn on Brick Top the whole time.

Fight Club - The Narrator (Ed Norton) vs. Angel Face. This is the more gruesome beat down I've ever seen in a movie. Angel Face's face is just hard to look at after Norton is done with him. A close 2nd in this movie is when the bar owner comes down and beats the piss out of Pitt while Brad is just laughing at him.

The Matrix - take your pick, lots of great fights in all 3, but I personally like the ones in the first movie better as I think they did a lot of movie fight scenes by introducing a lot of new filming techniques.

Happy Gilmore - Bob Barker vs. Happy. Do I really need to explain any further?

Saving Private Ryan - Pvt. Stanley Mellish vs. German foot soldier. You know you were cringing in your set when the germen pulled out his knife and slowly was inching it down toward Adam Goldberg's chest. Yes, short scene, but very much to the point, and was a a key part to one of the underlying story lines in the movie.

The Princess Bride - yeah, yeah, the same one. Inigo Montoya vs. the Man in Black. Great sword fight scene for it's time, even better humor through that entire scene. "Why are you smiling?" "Cause I know something you do not, I am not left-handed."

Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Arc - Indy vs. large bald Nazi. Amazing fight scene for 1981. Dude getting chopped up by the propeller of a WWII prototype plane is priceless.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail - King Arther vs. Black Knight. "Look, you stupid Bastard. You've got no arms left."

Rocky - Rocky vs. Creed. The one that started it all (and unfortunately, it never stopped).
 
Glad to see "They Live" get an honorable mention, but the Roddy Piper vs. Keith David fight deserves to be in the top 10 if for no other reason than it was the subject of a shot-for-shot remake in the South Park episode "Cripple Fight."
 
Finally how come no hot female mud wrestling type fights???

Dude, that reminds me. Travis, we totally forgot to add an honorable mention for John Candy versus the mud wrestlers in "Stripes." Ox was a lean mean fighting machine. Shame on us!

Ox: "It just doesn't seem fair."
Winger: "Fair?!?! What's fair? Is it fair that you were born this way?!?!"
 
Austin Powers vs Mini me???

I know thats gotta rank up there somewhere....


I'd say my favorite fight sequence from the Matrix would either be the first encounter with the Agents in Reloaded, or when the twin is trying to kill the keymaker in the car.... both brilliantly performed.
 
One fight that I forgot to mention that doesn't qualify for Travis' list because it's "one against many" but is still worth noting is the corridor fight scene from "Oldboy." Amazing scene, brilliantly shot, totally original.

And BTW, if you haven't seen that movie, add it to your list.
 
I would totally agree with adding any of: Frank Dux vs Chong Lee in Bloodsport, that scene from Oldboy (awesome movie), Black Night vs Arthur in Holy Grail or Blue vs College Girls in Old School.
