What Superhero Movie Performance Deserves an Oscar? - MOVIE FIGHTS!!

[@NathanJAllan]

Slipknot from Suicide Squad. #TheManWhoCanClimbAnything

[@hchappy125]

N J Allan severely underrated

[@AlexLove631]

What about Katana??? #ThisIsKatana #SheHasMyBack #HerSwordTrapsTheSoulsOfItsVictims

[@megamoviez]

N J Allan Um Enchantress from Suicide Squad! 😉

[@guyincognito8043]

Oh my god, it's... sorry forgot your name. Boy Scout Billy? Banana Peel? Ah, whatever, still cool to encounter the best character in the movie.

[@darksoulkindle]

Can't believe a beta male has top comment. Smh

[@myfilms999]

I agree with Coy... Fassbender has been fantastic as magneto... probably besides ledger and jackman he has put in the best performances in superhero movies

[@nirvanessa]

TheFlickinCritic agree 100%

[@joeluigi2008]

TheFlickinCritic still thinks that michael keaton and the guy that played the comedian were better. Their choices were too safe and boring

[@bruce1991]

Cannot believe when they discussed about the stunts they didn't mention Jackie chan. Hell, he even did that clocktower hanging thing. Jackie out-stunt all those mentions.

[@joeluigi2008]

bruce1991 man, remember when he ran outside that building? There was no safety net. If he tripped, that was it. No more jackie chan. And he did that scene a few times. AT A FREAKING 45 ANGLE BUILDING!! The balls on the dude

[@bruce1991]

Doesn't matter. When you talk about stunts, actor or sequence you got to mention Jackie.

[@bruce1991]

I actually live in the city where the stunt was performed!

[@ejr87r]

Glad you brought up Jackie Chan because I even forgot about him, the guy is the king of the stunts.

[@josephcantu3562]

Jackie Chan is a stunt. I bet he cartwheels up downward escalators.

[@phenwagner7]

Movie Fights has been killin it this month. The blend of comedy, knowledge, and passion is what makes this show great.

[@cristinedemesapanek366]

[@sleepyazathoth5238]

This past month SJ has put some very fun and different types of Movie Fights, props to them for that.

[@leonardjuric9152]

Wow people. The beauty of Walker the Texas Ranger is it's obliviousness. Turning it into a straight comedy is exactly the wrong idea.

[@leonardocucchiara4782]

I'm still waiting for PATTON OSWALT to show up on the show! Come on SJ! Make it happen! I'm beggin on every episode for a year now!!!

[@SS-sg4eg]

Jackie Earle Haley deserves an Oscar for his Rorschach performance it was perfect 100%

[@sergeymeshkov]

SILVER Bro it was too over the top I think

[@jgaspie2011]

SILVER Bro "I'm not stuck in here with you. YOU'RE STUCK IN HERE WITH ME."

[@ellen7950]

I loved Talisa Soto in Vampirella (1996). I know, i'm the only one in the world with this

[@jaypee4188]

Normally I'd say that the Academy wouldn't even consider it, but Jackman's performance is undeniably brilliant and legitimately worthy of a nomination. A win? Who knows. It's way too early to call, but I don't think he'll have a problem getting nominated. I think Logan will get a Best Picture nom too as long as they use all 10 slots. It's a brilliant piece of character-based storytelling. Even though the deck is stacked as of now with a slate of genius filmmakers like Sofia Coppola, Aronofsky, Garth Davis, Chris Nolan, Alexander Payne, Kathryn Bigelow, Aaron Sorkin, Woody Allen, Todd Haynes, Roman Polanski, and more, I think it'll be nominated. Jackman won't win for his performance, but it's not because he isn't awesome. Daniel Day-Lewis performing in the lead role of the best character-centric storyteller not named Scorsese...I would literally bet my house on him winning.

[@TheMojoJojo90]

I think this will make trick questions better: Let them pick a answer and let them explain why they picked that answer then u pop out a trick question. In this case they need to fight against their arguments. Now thats a tricky thing to do.

[@JaxBlade]

lookin at the Title Hugh Jackman in Logan and Patrick Stewart deserve it

[@lml6791]

JaxBlade and Ian McKellan in any of the other Xmen movies

[@GarfieldiusPrime]

yo Jax, nice to see another Toastie here. Also, 100% agree with Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart deserving the oscar.

[@filiporvik2782]

I don't think they could have used any of the arguments from that movie since it would be considered Spoiler, so it would be impossible for them to win using facts.

[@xFeaTHD]

Filip Orvik They did not use it because they might still win Oscars. It was released this year ;)

[@cjwrench07]

JaxBlade just Patrick Stewart deserves it. Just like in Star Trek:TNG his acting made the X-Men universe a respectable art.

[@konstance13]

I love Coy's intensity when imitating Magneto. He's such a good fighter.

[@sleepyazathoth5238]

Best stunt: Props to JTE for fighting for Buster Keaton, wich is by the way the biggest inspiration to George Miller for Mad Max Fury Road (he said that in an interview).

[@pogimax]

Best stunt sequence: the whole mall chase scene in Jackie Chan's Police Story from 1985. The sheer imagination, creativity, derring-do and physicality of Jackie and his stunt team was crystallized in that mall scene, culminating in Jackie sliding down pole 4 storeys high that was covered in actual live Christmas lights. Heck, that whole movie could've provided a top ten list by itself. Arguably, Jackie Chan at his best.

[@mainsmain]

Love how Hal said box office didnt matter but then when Stallone questions comes in he suddently says it had less box office money LOL

[@Assassin-js1jp]

Hugh Jackman as Logan, Dafne Keen as Laura and Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier deserve an Oscar for their performances, and so does the film. Also, if anyone shouts "R-Rated movies can't win an Oscar", remember, Argo was R-Rated. Moonlight was R-Rated. Slumdog Millionaire was R-Rated. Hell, the first two Godfather movies were R-Rated. Most Oscar-winning movies have been R-Rated or so. Not all of them, but most of them.

[@bbqR0ADK1LL]

Point Break (2015) had some pretty great stunts. When they climbed Angel Falls, I had to look it up because I thought it had to be CG but it looked so real.

[@josipdodig7052]

Fassbander in DOFP. That "You abandoned us" line gave me chills.

[@carverskahl1207]

Ron Pearlman as Hellboy is an amazing performance because I don't think any one else could play that character like he did twice.

[@danielp.sullivan8417]

One of my favorite stunt sequences is the desert chase in Raiders of the Lost Ark

[@VeggieGamer]

Oh wow... the Trick Question was amazing... XD

[@angelastumbaugh2870]

as far as stunt sequence, my pick is in between jackie chan's who am i ( the 80 story building's rooftop scene, and the stairway sequance in tony jaa's on bak 1 (the 6 story stairway mortal kombat sequance). the reason being is that they used no safety mesures and they were full contact real action. jackie came out with actual injuries same with tony and yet the sequences were sick.

[@20thoughts]

Can whoever's breathing heavily into the mic stop breathing heavily into the mic or get muted in the meantime? There's gotta be separate audio tracks from each mic, right?

[@NewWaveWill]

Dan Murrell vs Max Landis vs Coy Jandreau would be the champion match

[@ChristinaWoodall]

Duke Amadeus Completely agree!!

[@aixaaa_1117]

Duke Amadeus max Landis sucks though he can't even argue he just whines about everything

[@lichiebitchie8802]

I'd also like to see Chris there, I think he's pretty good in movie fights

[@thecrowseye5384]

Lichie Bitchie Good/Sucks I agree

[@merzul]

Max Landis is only good for yelling, interrupting and then complaining and claiming bias when he loses. He is so high on himself that he cant see himself for what he is, a barely mediocre writer that only gets noticed because of his dad.

[@SilverAlaunt]

I was so happy when JT mentioned Buster Keaton.

[@charliegriffey7773]

Ian Mckellan in X2, Alfred Molina in Spiderman 2, Michael Caine as Alfred,

[@athenajaxon2397]

Easy best superhero movie performance? J.K Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson

[@CapN_Crump]

I can't believe none of them chose a moment from Jackie Chan's filmography for best stunt sequence. Blows my mind.

[@Crichjo32]

Great fight overall, though I really think Coy should have won the oscar debate.

[@cesarcosta1005]

Michelle piffer probably spelt her name wrong is hands down is the greatest Catwoman ever.

[@casual2345]

Hal said, first blood was not a silent movie to JTE ,but when Andy asked Hal to do a performance of Stallone he did not say ONE WORD. 48:52

[@dubset622]

Minor critique: Sometimes, the speed round lasts way too long. It's often a chore to sit through. I think they should go back to the old format, or just do away with it. If there's a tie, have one blind fight as a tie breaker.

[@Harley_Payne]

I like Fassbender Magneto more. McKellen was a comic book movie villain with a tragic past and a complicated morality. Fassbender was a character I actually cared about as a person and didn't want to cross that line but could actually convince me that he's right at the same time.

[@jordcadwell]

We need more classic movie fights!!!

[@didrikschubertsson8673]

For the last speed round question I would have gone with Disneys Pocahontas. Its super short (81 min), the songs are great and you can change languages with each viewing so it's always "new" and fresh. And because it's a Disney movie you know that the dub is always gonna be good.

[@jgaspie2011]

JTE was by far the weakest in the Stallone fight. Not finished watching yet but early feelings are that Andy is trying his hardest to keep Coy out of a potential title fight.

[@jgaspie2011]

Just finished. Coy demolished JTE throughout the speed rounds, yet lost. Go figure.

[@MoonShineKidBaby]

The Rule of Two Hal by far should've won the Stallone one...

[@spencerpolivka2620]

Michelle and Jack.. that's a hard one to choose between for me. Partly because I think they both owned the character so well. Both acting and how close the are to the comics.

[@bradwright9477]

It's great seeing all the love for Logan and Hugh Jackman's performance. Such a brilliant film.

[@felixdakat734]

Two super heroes battling it out? Superman vs Flash. That would be classic.

[@althaz]

Great episode guys. Terrific job to the fighters (all three of these guys are always great) and Andy really stepped it up in the judges chair today. Cracking work.

[@petelawrence1667]

Hal kept talking about bookish to sexual, and repeating and repeating and repeating, only Coy made sense the entire second round...how did he lose that round?

[@killjoydklown]

Funny how all 3 answers in round one eventually ended up getting tv reboots...Bel Air, Walker, and Quantum Leap. 🤔

[@alexisc800]

flash Thomson venom is my favourite venom

[@TommyTheCat83]

3rd seat fight should be Max Landis, Mike Carlson and The Red Fury, Alicia Malone. Max almost won in a one on one against Dan for the belt and only lost cause he conceded a loss late in the game. Mike always brings the crazy and has to be one of my favorite fighters. Alicia deserves a spot due to pure class.

[@BoyanDimitrov]

Out of the three stunts I'd probably do the Mission Impossible one because I get the most kick relative to the amount of danger I'm in. House falling can kill me and I'd never know it and I'm not doing something physically exciting like climbing the world's tallest building... I'm just standing to see if I'd live or die - terrifying. The pole cats' stuff in Mad Max is just insanely challenging and daring - thanks but I'm gonna go climb a building with a harness. Obviously all three of these are super impressive and I'd fail at any of them but yeah - gun to my head I'd pick climbing the building.

[@vandammesfrostymullet6435]

KZbin search 'Best Jackie Chan Stunts' you could take at least 3 of those and argue them for Round 4 alone....

[@ninfacajamarca5918]

I can't take hal seriously I swear he's funny as hell!

[@Jake-fi8ws]

Favorite quote is JTE saying Whacker Talks Us Rager at 12:50

[@joshbrooks7625]

Hal's breathing after every few sentences kills me.

[@kcsupersonic1]

To those saying Hugh Jackman should have been in that Superhero performance question, notice how the question said (that didn't win one). There is still the chance he could be nominated and win so I would say that it's against the spirit of the question to pick him as the jury is still out on that one.

[@wolfstatus]

that first argument was hard as hell to get through

[@joshuavincent5718]

Mark Hamil is the best joker

[@ugle118]

1:10:25 hold the laughter dude she is sitting right in front of you... and your voice goes into her head set you know.

[@srsjackson]

Sir Patrick Stewart deserve an Oscar for Charles Xavier in Logan!

[@Antropos1111]

the thing is Buster KEaton risk doesn not come from the fact that being 2 inches wrong would kill him, but the fact that he had to walk calmily to that specific place wich was not so intensly markes on the floor.

[@Vader47000]

Amusing how the first question, "What live-action 90s TV show should be a movie" was attributed to a tweet that asked a completely different question ("what 80s or 90s property (MASK, GI Joe, etc.) should get a live-action movie?") Was that an intentional alteration?

[@matameyavideos]

not 1st

[@Kytori95]

Can you guys put Hal on the Movie Trivia Schmoedown? I bet his personality would go quite well!

[@SIDDS457]

the question with Han Solo's real name was amazing, do have more such questions which challenge the contestant's creativity

[@cmaprice]

DA directing Jaws: Gonna need a bigger boat? crossover with Noah 2!

[@piyushchoudhary5293]

50 seconds and already a dislike. Wow people are fucking sadistic

[@VMG3001]

there is a slim chance the person saw the fight on plus and did not like it but still

[@syndddd]

Screen Junkies got the worst fan base on youtube

[@MrJabez89]

I dislike your comment

[@hughtube5154]

Maybe they skipped to a random bit where all you can hear is JT heavy breathing into the microphone.

[@joeluigi2008]

Hugh Tube thanks, man. Now I can't stop noticing it

[@HBoyzFan]

This was a juggernaut of a fight, but I expected no less from these three

[@alecosfan]

id love to watch all of those 90s tv show remake movies.

[@OdileOdile19]

Kevin Smith vs Dan vs Max Landis should've been the title fight

[@eliasD4]

This may not be an Oscar but I believe jon bernthal at least deserved an Emmy nomination for his role as the punisher in daredevil.

[@robhoteling5552]

they already made a Walker Texas Ranger, it was called Lone Wolf McQuaid.

[@kult38]

I'd love to see Lon Harris in the final spot. Thank god. I thought JTE would be screwed over again. I like Coy but I felt he was spoon fed a few points just to get him to the speed round.

[@ZoeBlacktail]

My favorite stunt performers comes from the movie Van Helsing, there all actors did their own stunts.

[@RadioactivePuppy01]

Whoosh, the oscar-worthy superhero fight is just awful. First off, Fassbender is the obvious win there: his performance in First Class is raw, quiet anger that is certainly helped by the script, but Fassbender completely owns it. It's unfortunate that Daredevil can't be considered for an academy award, but understandable, since Vincent D'Onofrio has so much material to work with, but it's absolutely fantastic. Aside from that, I can't honestly think of any performances that are truly fantastic, other than Molina in Spider-Man 2.

[@scotticusproductions]

Hugh Jackman as Logan. Bar none, the most amazing "superhero" movie ever. I use the " " because it was more of an action drama than a standard Marvel/Fox/WB generated superhero movie.

[@stuffy_halford]

Best stunt sequence: raiders of lost ark, ark hijacking

[@kanothe187]

Overstating the importance of Nicholson taking the role on the perceptions of such movies to big actors, Gene Hackman appeared as Lex Luthor in 79.

[@cmaprice]

90s shows to movies: Xena Farscape Brimstone Sliders

[@solidsnake9898]

Christopher Reeve deserved an oscar for Superman/Clark Kent more than Heath Ledger imo.

[@charlesmcgeachie7575]

I would've picked Cop Land as one of Stallone's best performances.

[@oatmat]

ComicPOP is about to hit 50k subscribers, I think its time to bring them in for a Movie Fight along with ComicsExplained and Comicstorian

[@AndyBestHP]

One of the best episodes, great all round.

[@hayleyskinner5710]

Don't know if JTE and Hal deserved a shot at the belt. People like Mike Carlson, Mark Andreyko, Alicia Malone better get a shot

[@juniorramos1437]

Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, James Mangold

[@marshalarts1560]

Walker Texas Ranger was ridiculous at best but i grew up loving it and look back on it fondly because Chuck Norrus put a lot of heart into it and each episode wasn't so much about the action which is why the fight scenes were sort and lame but more about morals and compassion. The same could be said about Dr. Quinn where it was less about her medical abilities and more to do with her moral influence on the town. WTR should remain a serious drama though.. as much as i love Will Ferral i cant agree with another t.v. show from my childhood ruined by comedy the way Dukes of Hazard was. I also dont agree that the show is only celebrated by old folks considering that i am only 28 and WTR was one of the most impactfull shows for me growing up.

[@Onodera1980]

I thought the Jaws thing was a director question, not a pitch for Jaws: the redo... JTE started wrong and Andy liked it.

[@sarahumes9356]

No one said x files for round one? Great characters, and you could have a really claustrophobic thriller (similar to a few season one episodes). If you can recreate the amazing dynamic between mulder and scully the movie would be great

[@mariososa6637]

Coy reminded me of Eminem in the speed round "Lyrics​ coming at you at super Sonic speed" from Rap God, 😂😂😂

[@katejohnson5039]

The Batman Vs Superman Speed Round wasn't even close. Coy definitely won, JTE should've been overruled. Coy had two heroes, JTE not so much.

[@wizfiasco123]

The girl in Logan, Laura should win something or get nominated! She suprised the fuck outta me!

[@LPJZ456]

Damn no love for Aaron Ekhart's Two Face?! He is often overshadowed by Heath's performance but I must say that if he didn't execute that role as well as he did, the Joker wouldn't be as well remembered either let alone that movie as well

[@tylerappleby9]

next three should be Coy, Landis, and Stuckmann

[@titankiller5287]

Andy: "I'm gonna overrule and make it interesting, then I'm going to let my guy win, even though objectively almost all of his arguments were worse than the other guy" How did you let JTE win over Coy, JTE has maybe 2 arguments over Coy

[@drkFenix9]

It would be very interesting if Han Solo's original name was Lando Calrissian... Why did they switch names? When did it happen? So many questions!!

[@rusone2516]

Quantum leap... New twist like inception. The longer you stay gone the more you lose yourself on each leap . And The protagonist and love interest are scientists. She goes first and gets lost protagonist "perfects" tech later and goes in search for his love interest.

[@Kyo-iu8dc]

I think Andy cut Hal wrongly,he should had won like three rounds.

[@moviestoday6659]

Great fight m8! JTE is probably my favorite fighter!

[@thescreengeek8915]

Wow, apparently JTE really CAN perform without Snider at his side. This is a first :D

[@itachii267]

Coy is literally the embodiment of Eminem on movie fights lol

[@adiestone5099]

I agreed with Hal about Quantum Leap until he came up with the plot. If there was a movie or new show, we want to see Sam finally get home. The way there would be the fun part but Bakula would still have to be Sam.

[@SoftyM20]

Coy is one of the best fighters in this show. I always fell like he is robbed of his wins. Great episode, nevertheless!!

[@davidkilzer2462]

I would much rather be on a poll 2 stories off the ground then 50 stories up on a building. Half won that round

[@ynojovigullan7789]

I may be alone on this one but, I think michael Shannon and Chris Evans deserve an academy award (pls dont attack me just my opinion)

[@jamgrieve]

Ebert has done other commentary tracks. Citizen Kane being one example.
