The Duke, notice the low blow. Original soundtrack too but it was canned in final production. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WkH5IZmDWc

Nothing beats the 80's
"Who's the Master?" "Sho'nuff!"
Then Bruce Leroy catches a bullet with his teeth.

Also, pretty much all of Big Trouble in Little China
is 100% campy awesomeness. But I can't find any
good youtubes of the fight scenes.
Oooo, I forgot Willow!

Oh, and anything with Filipino mini-spy Weng Weng is bound to be awesome.

Re: Best fight scenes in movies.
Some of the best fight scenes I recall seeing were on Magnum P.I. These scenes seemed to have been choreographed by a person who had actually been in a fight or two. When someone got hit full out on the chin they generally went down and didn't get back up. After several punches each both parties were usually too tired to raise their arms. I remember fights on some episodes that ended with both parties panting on the ground, barely able to move. These fights were certainly less entertaining than running across the tops of bamboo trees but, based on my experiences (unfortunately), considerably more true to life.

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

I would agree with Emmline but I share my name with the bad guy in that one which kind of bothers me.

-The scene in the original Lonesome Dove production in which Woodrow Call (Tommy Lee Jones) takes after an army officer whipping Woodrow's unacknowledged son in futile attempt to buy his horse forcibly. Woodrow refrains from bludgeoning or gelding the fellow only when restrained. It looked real, bolstered by thorough enlistment of audience sympathies.

That WAS a good fight scene!!!brianormond wrote:-The scene in the original Lonesome Dove production in which Woodrow Call (Tommy Lee Jones) takes after an army officer whipping Woodrow's unacknowledged son in futile attempt to buy his horse forcibly.

Any scene in Rob Roy that included Liam Neeson was a good one, fight or not.
and Hillbilly Bunny is my favorite Bugs tune too.

From about 3:00 on...about the only scene halfway worth watching in that movie.

I love the fight scene in Liar Liar, where Jim beats himself up in the bathroom.

David Hasselhoff's light saber fight with a
stop-motion robot from the Italian movie
Starcrash (in 1979, everyone with a video
camera and a budget was ripping off Star
Wars).

That was excellent. Did you notice the soda dispenser behind the fight? Looked like there were quite a few flavor options.fearfaoin wrote:David Hasselhoff's light saber fight with a
