Top 10 Movie Fights

Matrix?

Kill Bill vol 1 fight was better than vol 2!

lol @ Mortal Kombat.. WTF!! Shite film

One Upon a time in China

Ong Bak should be number 1, with the other a close second!

I’m surprised you didnt mention the borat hotel room brawl as your number 1!

Not sure it would be classed as a “fight scene” but i would count the storming the beach on saving private ryan scene as one of my favourites

Im trying to think of my top ten war scenes… have you got any ideas WET?!

Okay Insane – I’m sorry to say that you couldn’t be more wrong. The only film that deserves to be in that top 10 is Moooooooortaaaaaal Kombaaaaaaaaat! Unfortunately he just named the wrong fight. Right at the start of the Mortal Kombat film this Kung Fu master gets annoyed and proceeds to beat up of this 13 year old kid. Now I actually ended up watching this film in some cinema in Sheffield (long story, involved a bird, don’t ask) and was actually told that if I didn’t stop crying with laughter I would have to leave the cinema. For some strange reason I’ll never understand, everyone else in the place failed to see the hilarity of some fully grown bloke kicking 7 shades of stringy shit out some little scrote. In fact, some people seemed quite put out by the fact that I found it funny in the first place. Fuck ‘em anyway.

So my top 10 in no particular order would be (and I think these probably are my actual top 10 because I like a good laugh and I did actually laugh out loud at all these):

• Mortal Kombat – the “we all hate kids, beating them up is fun” scene.
• Torque – the kung fu fighting on bikes scene. Genius and didn’t look at all shite.
• Alexander – that bit where he charges that elephant on his horse and it all goes slo-mo. So, a horse v elephant face off in slo-mo. Totally brilliant and not at all completely shite.
• The fight scene at the start of Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith. Just for that one line where the ship breaks in half and falls towards the planet and is suddenly enveloped in searing heat at which point (this is great, I loved this), Ewan McGregors character checked his dials, flicked some switches and helpfully announced to everyone aboard “We’re entering the atmosphere!” Brilliant. Absolute corker – no shit Sherlock, I wouldn’t have guessed it – what with all the ship melting and searing heat everywhere. Fucking hell, there’s no flies on you is there son, no wonder you’re a Jedi. (This film deserves mention as well for constantly making references to “The Outer Rim” which again, I thought was brilliant but just made the missus shake her head at me and mutter “schoolboy humour” whilst I laughed my arse off)
• Under Siege – “Don’t mind me, I’m just a chef in a crap jacket with pretend kung fu.” All Stephen Seagals fight scenes are great.
• MI2 – that bit where Tom Cruise is stood in the middle of nowhere and 2 blokes appear on bikes with machine guns. After weighing up the pros and cons they decide that rather than just shoot the dwarf in the bollocks they’ll ride towards him at a speed which allows him to karate kick them both off their bikes, nick their guns and make good his escape. Top stuff.
• The fighting in trees scene from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Totally convincing. Didn’t look at all crap despite that fact that 1) It looked like they were on wires and 2) You could see the wires and 3) They were on wires.
• That scene in Saving Private Ryan where that wall falls down and Tom Hanks and his mates are confronted with a room full of germans who manage to have a free for all shoot out at a distance of 2 yards with a bunch of Americans and impressively miss with every single shot until Tom and his mates kill them all.
• That bit in Braveheart where 12 scottish blokes with sharpened bits of wood destroyed the entire english cavalry. Comedy gold.
• The last fight in Sin City. I admit that this one might not be a great fight scene but it has to go in simply because despite the fact that the preceeding 90 minutes had been such utterly laughable toss the film makers managed to excel themselves at the end. It was almost as if they said “look, this is just shite, how can we end this?” “I know, we’ll make Bruce Willis have a fight with a luminous yellow goblin”. It also needs to go in because my uproarious laughter in the cinema nearly got me into a real fight with a few blokes who seemed to think that comics are a serious business and luminous yellow goblins are not a laughing matter.

ong bak ftw!

Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris in “Way of the Dragon” CLASSIC! 🙂 🙂 🙂
