for anime fights. History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi Shirahama. as for the best for personally its the final fight of season 1. Kenichi vs Odin. personally just watch the entire anime. its a martial artist one so you should like it. basically taking true martial arts to the extreme with a touch of anime. like adding Ki as a factor which is a physical presence or I guess an aura. makes those who can use it stronger than any normal human. one is from the manga much later where one of the characters caught up to a missile jumped on it and disabled it before heading back to the other. tho only 2 people on the planet can do that.

[@CrusadingSnom]

"dance with the devil in the...pale moonlight" means you do something immoral on purpose for personal enjoyment, and he says it because he "always asks that of his prey" because he is not only insane, but he wants to know if who he is killing or harming basically has done bad things, just like him.

[@MarcusFlemmings]

@@CrusadingSnom Yeah, I know that :) but it's such very random for a person to say to someone...! It still makes no sense -- did he learn from it somewhere? Does he often recite deep metaphorical phrases...I don't remember him doing any others....!

Gotta love the inclusion of One Punch Man. Some top tier fight scenes.

[@MarcusFlemmings]

[@TheSp4z06]

I believe the best response to the no gun rule is a Good Shootout vs Bad Shootout series or video. There are several examples I can think of, many of them Westerns of western inspired that have just as much or more attention put into them as fight scenes. By the way, this series is fantastic!

yup, can't wait to not watch the next season, unless some how they turn it way tf around. sad part is Galadriels actress is actually good, she was in a movie called "St Maud" and it's wild, I think this is like a Twilight situation, bad director/producers. making everyone else look bad.

It was mentioned in either part 3 or part 4.

[@AdamRaia]

Napier (before he becomes The Joker) kills Bruce’s parents and says “tell me kid have you ever danced with that Devil in the pale moonlight”. Dancing with the Devil is to engage in risky, reckless, or potentially immoral behavior. When The Joker now says it to Bruce Wayne many years later, Bruce makes the connection that he is the one that killed his parents.

The snowy hill fight between Guts and Griffith in the Berserk film is incredible, hits all the right notes of narrative impact, timing, and overall atmosphere with prestine sound design. With context it carries so much weight for both characters

[@RileyZilla1001]

Or for a non anime example, the ending fight in Sanjuro... both stand ready for an extended time- then one strike and the world's first dramatic blood geyser. Kurosawa needs some mention in these videos.

[@peterrautenbach1298]

Came here to say this! The eclipse might also be a good “fight” scene. Utterly brutal and emotional but that might fall under the category of abject slaughter rather than fight.

[@manchesterunitedno7]

The Dark Knight Rises also having the bad movie fight. Scene, rooftop fight scene between Batwan & Catwoman vs the henchmen. Bad choreography all around, there was even a henchman throwing empty kick/punch and stumble on himself.

"I saw the devil" has some incredible fight scenes and it includes the evergreen oldboy from the previous video. Don't last a particularly long time but brutal and badass definitely fit into the description. And for bad fights just anything in Ultra violet. Love these videos.

[@domdesigns5624]

Best "action star" of the 80's in my opinion is Harrison Ford specifically in Indiana Jones. I say this because he is one of the only mainstream action hero's in that time period that is vulnerable. His fights are visceral, and he doesn't always win. He is extremely intense and devoted to his role, and he shows humanity and struggle. But, most importantly, he truly perseveres.

[@MarcusFlemmings]

Absolutely love this shout!

[@gsimon123]

tbh I think I agree with this. Indy is also one of the few action movies from 80s that still holds up BECAUSE of those reasons. It helps that they are such tremendously well made movies overall too. Spielberg has ALWAYS been a fantastic director of action sequences at all stages of his career. but having Indiana Jones just throwing haymakers and getting his ass beat will NEVER get old. Plus, he's just a fairly average guy - sure he's tough - but he's not supposed to be portraying a skilled martial artists or elite boxer. Some movies like Rocky bother me because they are so inaccurate to REAL boxing. It almost feels disrespectful lol! Indy is just an everyman throwin hands lol

[@MarcusFlemmings]

@@gsimon123 Indiana is undefeated!

[@Evanz111]

Awesome idea to cover some anime fights too! One of the most popular and flashy I’ve seen was Tengen vs Gyutaro in Demon Slayer. Found it very easy to follow whilst it still had a sense of scale and stakes. Some incredible animation work on it.

[@KilledByBird]

Man I gotta say, your videos can be on a "Good KZbin videos vs Bad KZbin videos" comparassing. There is always such a relaxed, yet consistent pace, it's never overloaded with narrative or editing, yet there is a stream of information, analysis, digestable and comprehendable. Entire length of it is a honey pour. No shaky narrative, no quick cuts, just like scenes you talk about. You say every sunday - I say I'll be here

[@MarcusFlemmings]

MASSIVE LOVE! Honestly, means alot!

[@brunopaynejunior8285]

Funny thing about "Justified" is that Raylan wins every single gun-fight, but at the same time gets beaten in every hand-to-hand fight.

[@MarcusFlemmings]

That's actually a GREAT observation, I've watched it 3 times and didn't notice that! Him with a gun is John Wick levels. Him without a gun is clubber lang levels!

[@jonathanreich6360]

Nola vs Burton on Banshee was amazing. Banshee had a number of great fights and Olek vs. Carrie was another one of them.

[@Evanz111]

That fight is how I found out what Banshee was!

[@redeyetrey4763]

Lucas Vs Damian (MMA fighter) was my personal favorite fight of the show you have the MMA fighter who has more experience with a professional level of fighting versus Lucas hood, who is more experienced in surviving so he will fight dirty Vs Damien, who is really on the train to fight at a professional level of fighting till his opponent submits or gets knocked out but also for defending yourself against attackers

[@the.Aruarian]

For anime fights, generally good series are: - Hajime no Ippo - Vinland Saga - Cowboy Bebop - Megalo Box - Samurai Champloo - Kengan Ashura - Sword of the Stranger - Jujutsu Kaisen - Demon Slayer All of them definitely fall on the fantasy-spectrum to various degree for dramatic effect, but definitely worth checking out fight compilations of them.

The whole thing about dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight... it's not so much about what it means, but Batman throwing it back at his arch-nemesis when he realises that it was the Joker in his youth who killed his parents, and then said the same thing to young Bruce while training his gun on him. As Joker himself says, he says it to all of his victims and just likes the way it sounds... now the Joker is about to become Batman's victim!

You thought we would miss that little clip of Big Trouble in Little China! Not today Sir! I see you. GREAT movie. Also, anime fight recommendations as requested: Lancer vs Saber from Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works is a good start. Geld vs Shogo from That Time I Got Reincarnated as A Slime is an absolute beatdown. Any fight with King Kazma from Summer Wars. And finally, one of, if not the best anime fist fights that's grounded in reality is Spike vs Vincent from Cowboy Bebop The Movie. Hope this small list helps.

Hey Marcus, thanks for another awesome video! If you do make a review of any anime fights, there’s a newer one called “Wind Breaker”, loads of just fist fights. Theres also an anime movie, considered to be the best animated sword fighting ever, called “Sword of the Stranger”.

[@insomniCat16]

[@Keil2590]

JCVD from Kickboxer...classic.

[@PhilipWielgus]

Idk about the LotR movies having "grounded" fight scenes. Legolas gets progressively more ridiculous in movies.

[@samueltheprideofafrikarobi9319]

Also...within both the context of the show and the lore/rules of the world it takes place in, Galadriel can't be held to the same same rules as the humans around her. Because she's NOT human. She's an elf. And elves in LotR are preternatural in their fleetness, grace and speed. Also, magic is almost inherent to their nature and they are known to be more than a bit ostentatious in battle with their movements. All of this is supported by all six movies in the cinematic saga. Latching onto Galadriel's technique in this video was a stretch. It fits within the rules of the fantasy it takes place in and I believe that should always be taken into account when judging a cinematic fight. If the character's actions don't break the rules of the universe they're in, then it shouldn't be considered a negative. (Besides, the move looked dope as hell IMO.)

[@hackergaming6372]

@@samueltheprideofafrikarobi9319while I agree that elves shouldn’t be held to the same standard that move was so dumb and goofy and imo did not at all look cool.

[@epitaph8704]

It's a stupid trend to conflate fantasy with a lack of realism. Fantasy works because it has realistic elements, that's why the elves aren't "purple goo people from Zornbacklungss that come from the Bronx", they are instead fae-like people, while having magical elements (they are inspired from myths), they are part of the world as much as a hobbit, a human or a dwarf. Her doing that was fucking stupid because it only makes sense if you throw out all logic out of the window, and then, the whole world might as well be made out of cardboard and written by Dr. Seuss.

[@slightlyaboveaveragebutaverage]

I liked the lotr movies well enough but man, legolas kinda just sucked as a character over all , and mainly just because he was karate bow man.

[@vcom741]

If you are including cartoons in your videos - Puss in Boots Last Wish - Puss vs Death. My favourite movie fight. Per good anime fights, can’t go wrong with Kengan Ashura. I really love all of Jun Sekibayashi’s fights in the series, since his style is…pro wrestling. And wrestling is fake in Kengan universe, and yet it makes it feel like a real martial art lol.

[@ScofieldStudios]

You should do good shootouts vs bad shootouts. Django Unchained, Old Henry, and A Few Dollars More come to mind.

[@PRC533]

Val Kilmer's weapons handling in the Heat shootout is literally used as a training aid for the military so it's gotta be in there.

[@charulellogram]

Great video! I also highly suggest checking out Fate/Zero Kiritsugu vs Kirei fight sequence, it was the penultimate fight sequence of the series, as well as the narrative effect. The characters approach life similarly with vastly polar opposite reasons.

I still don't really understand the obsession with never using guns in fights. You end up missing out or skipping over really good fight scenes with the excuse of "there are guns" as if that somehow immediately makes a scene bad. Some of the best fight scenes I've watched have included guns. Would really appreciate a reasoning for this that makes more sense. Edit: a lot of people are talking about reasons why he might not discuss gun fights in these videos, but that's not the point. He has repeatedly used gun fights as an example of how to NOT do an action scene, the big example. It's not just that he doesn't want to discuss them, he's actively saying guns in fight scenes are bad.

[@Zander_Schilling]

I think it's because he's trying to limit the scope of the series RN to mostly martial-arts based scenes where the hits, cuts, cinematography, and choreography have to be a lot higher level to pull off in a passable way. But that's just my assumption lol

[@Illuminate_Priest]

I think he says it best himself, fist fights are more visceral, relatable, primal, personal.

[@jisaka]

i agree, but i like this format already, it's just you know what you get into right of the bat, and for me atleast when someone says fight, i'm thinking it's a close quarter combat with fist and melee weapon like that. maybe he can start new series called bad movie shootout vs good movie shootout

[@noelv1976]

Because it's his channel and his rules lol

[@Evanz111]

I definitely get the reasoning. I’d love if he would at least include gun-fu or even gunkata. The film Wanted had some great scenes like Wesley at the factory.

[@Hellschwarz]

I really wish you'd just put which scene is wherefrom with timestamps somewhere, I often see some interesting scenes and you rarely mention the movie title. Like who are those ppl around 6:10 , what is the scene at 6:20 ? both look very interesting, but I have no idea what show they are from.

[@cjcollan4689]

The ending clip of this video indicated you’ll be talking about monkey man soon. PLEASE HEAR ME OUT: the shaky cam in that film is the one case of shaky cam making sense The first intense action sequence in the film has a lot of shaky cam to show how the main character is inexperienced and unprepared, falling victim to fighters and attacks he couldn’t see coming and wasn’t prepared for, so when the shaky cam makes it hard to see what happened it’s because the protagonist didn’t see what happened Contrast this with the final action sequence and it’s so much more streamlined and clear because he’s has his training and knows he can overcome each fighter presented. It’s an effective use of disorienting shaky cam to put us in the mindset of an inexperienced fighter

[@admiralducksauce]

I just watched Monkey Man last night after mainlining vol 1-4 of this series and the shift in camerawork was so subtle I didn't pick up on it, but you're absolutely right.

[@BigBrotherTV]

So I clicked on the video because of One Punch Man (even if I had to wait until the end :P) and I've been a fan of fighting films & anime since I was a kid. There are thousands of awesome anime fights, but just to name a few that are absolutely worth watching: Goku vs Boo from DBZ / Goku vs Jiren from the new DB Super / Gaara vs Rock Lee gives me goosebumps every time ! / Saber vs Berserk from Fate Zero also comes to mind ! and then there are anime like Baki or Hajime no Ippo which are all about fights that ‘do without superpowers’. PLEASE include one of them or some awesome fight from Naruto, Dragon Ball or one of the other countless awesome anime in one of your next videos, I would be happy ^^

[@RichardBetel]

Baki without superpowers? You're watching a very different show than me. :D I can't +1 Hajime no Ippo enough

[@BigBrotherTV]

@@RichardBetel Yes, looking back now, you're right about Baki xD Although I have to say in my defense that I was referring to the show from the early 2000s and the last time I watched it was about 15 years ago. Maybe I'm completely wrong, I know they were all very OP but I didn't remember “Superpowers” directly.

[@RichardBetel]

@@BigBrotherTV At the very least, I think most fighters displayed a healing factor that would make Wolverine proud, and in a few fights, I believe they coughed up more blood than they started with. All that is not to say I think its a bad show or a bad suggestion. I just think its fantasy and everyone has super powers.

My personal favorites for anime fight scenes are Vivy's: Fluorite Eyes Song (specially Episode 9) and Fog HIll of Five Elements (not really an anime but yes, there are some hands there and i dont want to involve flashy ones like opm or fate).

Ghost in the Shell 2 has superb animation that is still unmatched to this day.

[@ILIARIXTO]

If youre interested in anime fight scenes you should definitely check out Kaneki vs Jason from Tokyo Ghoul, with my simple mind i believe its pretty good especially if you count the story development.

Fights worth covering: Johnny Cage vs. Scorpion, Liu Kang vs. Reptile, Liu Kang vs. Shang Tsung (Mortal Kombat, 1995), Guile vs. M.Bison (Street Fighter, 1994). I'll leave it up to you if these were good or bad 😅 As for anime, I was also fond of the fight between Afro and Jinnosuke/Kuma in Afro Samurai (I believe the bulk of it is in Episode 5, but it technically starts in Episode 4).

[@Norbert_Sattler]

If you want a good melee in anime, without magic, supernatural powers or anything like that, a good place to look is ironically Maria the virgin Witch. There you have a great duel between a knight and a mercenary, maybe Landsknecht, with proper use of a buckler and half-swording.

My favorite 80 early 90s action star is jean claude van damme he, the green ranger, and the karate kid are why i joined taekwondo as a kid and am still in it in my 30s

Love this!

One of the best Anime Fight Scenes ever put to screen is the Azula vs Zuko fight in Season 3 of Avatar the Last Airbender. The action, the music, the story, the character development, it is the best fight scene in the series and one of the best. It’s not the flashiest or most powerful. But it grabs your attention by the throat and keeps you captivated

Really dug the Eastern Promises fight this vid. Anime fights, you say? Broly vs Everyone from Dragon Ball Super: Broly. Literally the second half of the movie. Amazing animation, great choreography, and a sick score. It's hard to top.

The Roadhouse tv series has some good fight scenes. Also, changing it to Bad vs Good Film Fights I think would allow you to cover both movies and television better.

8:40 I think, it's meaning is more so in the context of the scene then in the phrase itself, the joker said the line to Bruce Wayne and now Batman is saying it back to him, I do get your point like what is the actual point of that line but I guess it's to be a power move by batman, idk I very well could be wrong, love the videos BTW, your a massive inspiration on my slow journey into content creation. You have definitely found a voice and unique take on the video essay format.

[@hankepanky9478]

Alright, now you’re just throwing that SPR scene in my face lmao

Hi, I would love for you to check out Samurai Champloo and sword of the Stranger for anime fights. The former incorporates music into the feel of the show and the latter is a very underrated anime movie for fights in my opinion.

[@laughinggravyuk]

I really hope you do the school corridor fight in Grosse Pointe Blank. Short, intense, brutal.

[@sim1482]

instead of adding "tv" to the title, why not just remove "movie" instead, it'd be just "bad fights vs good fights", with a good thumbnail as exposition to make sure people understand it's fiction/pop culture, you're all set EDIT: and great video as always

[@MarcusFlemmings]

Thanks for the suggestion ;))

[@nslater1388]

The final sword fight of the anime movie Sword of the Stranger. Everything about that one is perfection.

[@troyismd]

I think a very underrated fight scene in anime is Deku vs Muscular in My Hero Acedamia. Its a very brutal fight that would be cook to see you cover.

[@18Hands]

The fights in the series Warrior are solid!!!

[@CarrotIsBad]

If you want a good anime fight, you should definitely check out the final fight from Sword of the Stranger. The fight itself is great, but the rest of the movie provides needed context to really propel it. The protagonist, Nanashi has refused to unsheathe his sword throughout the film due to war trauma, and I can really only compare it to the ending scene of Die Hard in a way. I'll leave it at that so everyone can come to their own thoughts on it, but it's maybe my favorite fight in anime.

[@TawJev]

For a moment, I thought the video evolved from *Bad Movie Fights vs Good Movie Fights* to *Bad Movie Shootings vs Good Movie Shootings* and then to *Bad Movie Dances vs Good Movie Dances.* 😂

[@TheVampireAzriel]

Piggybacking on my Kenichi comment from the last video... The best fights I can think of without rewatching the whole series would be... Kenichi vs Takeda the Puncher, Miu vs Kisara (while Kenichi fights the rest of Kisara's gang), Kenichi vs Thor feels very gritty as they are fighting in a hole in the ground, and last, but never least Kenichi's fight vs Odin at the end. The fight takes 2 or 3 episodes, but it's absolutely worth it!

[@admireruk]

The Thai movie Chocolate. Actress was a trained dancer. The last fight scene(s)take up about the movie's last half.

[@MarcusFlemmings]

Yeah, its been mentioned a few times :) I've seen clips, it looks good!!!
