Top 10 Movie Fight Scenes

[@narshyl]

The Ip Man vs 10 black belts scene is still on of my all-time favorite fight scenes period. It gives me chills every time I watch it.

[@MightyMouse2530]

Agreed. You knew when he saw his friend die and how pissed he was, somebody (somebodies?) was going to be getting a hurtin'.

[@felixhill9688]

Without the real ip man there may not have been a superstar Bruce Lee.

[@eddypowell9736]

Agreed, my favourite fight scene of all time..brutal and felt so real...

[@andreasbernardi3654]

Donnie Yen "Flash Point" so f-ing satisfying

[@SineEyed]

@@eddypowell9736 hella brutal, right? And it was made all the more so given the contrast of how almost _unaggressive_ Yip Man was in his approach to fighting. He's like a pacifist assassin or something lol. He's a passassin... or maybe an assassifist 😂 Either way though, he brought his A-grade aggression to every one of those Karate Kunts in the dojo that day, huh? Badass. Shoulda been renamed the _dontjo_ lmao 😂😂 Fuck, I'm killin' me over here! Damn that was a good scene though seriously..

[@FilmFightFanatic]

A lot of people are discussing what fight scenes were left out and what fight scenes don't deserve to be on this list. But can we appreciate how well edited/narrated this list is? There's such smooth transitions between each entry on the list, with the music of one fight scene blending into that of another. And you actually get to hear the fight scene's original audio complete with its soundtrack and sound effects. Not to mention the extra bits of trivia you wouldn't normally hear about. Gotta love Cinefix's style of editing. Not to bash Watchmojo but they would've just abruptly ended each clip, added random stock music in the background and just described the fight scene rather than commenting on something more insightful about the artistic merits of the fight scene.

[@isaachuegedeserville8627]

All my homies hate WatchMojo.

[@kristianpeterson7590]

I also liked the Jailbreak from FIRST BLOOD. Anyone else?🖖

[@sullivancalgary]

The hallway scene from Old Boy. One man. Dozens of opponents and one single shot done continuously.

[@slothbro2740]

yep. when I got to the top 3 I was like "alright Oldboy better be coming up sometime soon" and it never did. was so dissapointed

[@thejanrodrigo]

That scene was epic

[@Laizerdisk]

The thing I love most about the Old Boy fight (besides the amazing one take, obviously!) is how REAL it feels, especially in comparison to other movie fights. It’s brutal, they get winded, the protagonist actually gets hit! Hell, he gets his ASS handed to him on multiple occasions! It’s just gnarly and beautifully choreographed and it’s absolutely an all-time great fight scene without a doubt.

Top 12/15

[@jeffmansfield914]

This isn’t the slickest, flashiest fight scene ever, but for pure entertainment I love the sword fight between The Dread Pirate Roberts (Westley) and Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride. It has action, humor, exposition, and the heartfelt touching moments of gentlemanly respect between them. It does a great job simultaneously parodying the swashbuckling sword fights of classic Hollywood and wonderfully typifying them.

[@PO-si4ty]

Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan are right where they belong on this list. Great job

[@alexispapageorgiou72]

Bruce Lee as a scene has no job being on this list. There's nothing in it except speed and his face and that one doesn't even change ffs. Strange since these dudes crucified John Wick, cause one could argue they share precisely the same approach on the one on ones (I don't think so. Wick 1 was refreshingly original and consistent to the character - they lost it with the third part I admit).

[@lemon6757]

Forbidden kingdom temple fight

[@johnmoyers6888]

[@Foxxyownz]

@Stellvia Heonheim It still had super exaggerated stuff with the slow-motion and all that. Amazing movie for its time (a classic) but doesn't hold up to The Raid in terms of pure action and raw combat

[@terryhughes1649]

The raid 1 and 2. Brutal fights. Unrealistic in terms of mow much punishment they can take and how long the fights were. But i still really enjoyed em, certainly a hell of alot better than alot of what was listed. For eg. Kill bill? Seriously?

[@Foxxyownz]

@@terryhughes1649 Yeah, the endurance is wildly exaggerated, especially in the second one. The first one was pretty good in terms of that, the protagonist was always struggling and hurting in between fights, it was pretty damn believable imo. The "boss" fights are too much but they're boss fights after all I guess

[@darknessking24]

The kitchen fight in The Raid 2 is my favourite fight scene of all time.

[@VAVORiAL]

Raid 2 released after this video. But yeah, the kitchen scene in R2 is phenomenal and probably the best fight scene ever in terms of execution and choreography.

@chubbyurma I guess The Warehouse fight in The Big Boss where Lee basically annihilates a group of people using improvised weapons and kills them all isn't 'brutal' enough? Whilst I appreciate the time taken to craft an exciting, extended, running fight in the shopping mall at the end of Police Story... Brutality is not a word I'd use to describe the action. I respect the fluidity, but it's more artistic and stylised than seeing a man fighting for his life against a group of aggressors.

[@zolikoff]

Makes me wonder why the fuck would a director choose "shaky cam" for a scene if the fight choreography is so well done that it works from a stationary angle. "Artistic effect"? Come on...

[@dealerofdeth]

shaky cam is cancer. That shit is EVERYWHERE in US action films, I fucking swear! We need to start a petition. I am serious

[@bamb0ostick]

+zolikoff The problem is that there's good shaky-cam and there's bad. Ever since the Bourne trilogy there's been tons of other directors that tried it and failed. The key to good shaky cam is to add to the visceral fight but still be able to see what's going on. The Desh vs Bourne fight was fast, intense but you can still see what is happening to each person getting hit. If you watch the really bad examples of shaky cam (like the Taken sequels) you'll see the difference. There's definitely tons of people analyzing what makes good and bad shaky cam if you're interested. Check this video out by Stuckmann: watch?v=eac0lXfMs9c If you don't want to watch the whole thing jump to time stamp 10:11 in part 5 of that video where he talks about shakycam.

[@alejbr4]

+bamb0ostick ya shaky is like wire work its either really good or really bad

[@notproductiveproductions3504]

Because the director THINKS fights in real life are confusing and chaotic. In those situations where it looks messy, it's not the fight that's messy, it's the fighters. That, somehow, connects with the classic anti shaky cam argument, bad technique.

[@slvmberr]

Kung Fu Hustle...The musicians vs The Slumlords, or the when the 3 Masters reveal their Kung Fu prowess. Every fight in that movie is unique and fantastic.

The Matrix....just didn't work for me. The lack of actual skill is very clear. The fight against the kidnappers in "Extraction" could easily take Neo off this list. Great job!

[@Valdarious]

One of the reasons I appreciated the John Wick films so much.

[@curlyfryactual]

I recommend the INSIDER video on it, the thumbnail is 'How Bourne Ruined Action Films' or something of the sort. I agree with the conclusion of the video, Bourne did shaky cam *the right way.* They didn't sacrifice the readability of the scene, though nauseating. Pauses, close ups, and focus on prop and tool use make the scenes easy to follow, despite shaky cam. It's the movies that copied this trend, _cough cough Liam Neeson films cough_ that took shaky cam too far and, like fly wire, used shaky cam to substitute rather than complement good choreography which really ruined action sequences.

Ong Bak was good, but there's a better Tony Jaa scene in the Warrior King (aka The Protector) in the restaurant, the scene lasts about 3 minutes as he ascends the stairs and levels, dispatching baddies along the way.

The Raid 2 leads the other fight movies in one particular regard: The continuity of perspective during the fight. You always know where you are and who is moving in which direction. Not saying any of the films mentioned lack perspective. Just that Raid 2 does it better. The other scene that comes close, in recent memory, is the final fight in Chocolate, the Thai movie, where everyone is clinging and falling from the exterior of a building.

[@terrytari1891]

You forgot Hwang Jang Lee ("The King of Kickers")!

[@Freeden]

The inclusion of Donnie Yen twice on this list is awesome. He may not be well known in the states, but to fans of martial arts films, he's one of the top superstars of the film world. However, my favorite of his fight scenes, even more so than SPL, is his final scene from Flashpoint. It's a huge, brutal scene, and while the scene from SPL is great and flash, Flashpoint has the kind of brutal, bone crunching fight at the end that makes you flinch and grit your teeth, while also holding your attention throughout the entire 8 minute scene.

[@Goldenchildgt]

I have a copy of flashpoint for several years that I haven't even watched yet. I'll definitely dig it up and see what thrills I missed out on.

[@Freeden]

Yeah, you should definitely look it up. The movie itself is pretty good, not Donnie's best, but a decent film, but that fight scene is one of my favorites and one of Donnie Yen's best ever.

[@BraxFilm]

Ip man 2 is one my favorite movies of all time. Not only is he a remarkable martial artist, hes also a pretty good actor, and seeing the story behind the man that trained Bruce Lee, thats something else!

I'm sorry I know Bruce Lee is #1 but i honestly feel like Jackie Chan's Druken Master fight scene is MUCH better. But that's just my opinion. I remember watching that fight and the whole time i was in awe. Such a fantastic and well choreographed fight.

[@brandon7733]

As a total fan of Jackie Chan I agree but at the same time Bruce Lee gets put on the list because of honor and respect rather than because of how great the scene actually is. Basically Bruce Lee is number one because without him 2-10 might not have been made.

[@patrickmcstarsky]

Brandon Michaels to enjoy Bruce Lee's fight scenes, you have to look closely and sometimes even play it in slowmo, to understand how complex his moves really are...

[@brandon7733]

I don't agree with that. Lee was never a good choreographer and it shows in how plain his movies are. They do not do his ability justice and always simplify and slowdown his actual movements.

[@patrickmcstarsky]

yeah, i know he wasn't a good choreographer... but (that one time in college) i saw a video where a guy analyzed his movements and it was awesome...

[@JayBird1997]

Brandon Michaels and bruce lee are doing real stuff, not just acting. If you play his move in slow mo you will see a1 hit KO punch is actually combination of severer action included fake move

I think Cinefix must mean "Top10 Martial Arts Fight Scenes". For my money one of the best fight scenes in cinema history was the fist fight on the range in The Big Country with Gregory Peck. The scene is beautiful, brutal, human, it moves the story and changes the characters, while also putting the characters and story into visual context. Only fight I've ever seen in a movie where it is clear they fight for ages. Until both men can barely lift their arms. It is my vote for best film fight ever.

[@deenet32]
