What about the sword fight from blade? How the hell do you put the fight from Bridget Jone's Diary in there? Are you guys high?

It took this article to get me finally registered here to comment.
I'm shocked that the slugfest between Spidey and Doc Ock was not included from SP-2. I know, I know. No weapons allowed, but still. Then again, you had to bend even your own rules to include some fights, if just a bit.
(Ex: Charlie's Angels: a sword?) Otherwise, great list!

I don't think the Tony Jaa fight was the right one. Granted as a piece of film making that is a remarkable scene. But from a "best fight scene" standpoint I think the fight in the burning church was better, against the brazilian capoeria. The whole scene in the church was insane but its actually three seperate fights. It would have to be limited to that first one because the fight immediately following contained weapons.

Lee, Chan and Li are all legends yes but my personal feeling is that Jaa has the physical ability to surpass them. Its evident in both his movies and worth noting there are no wires used in his films, his style is brutal and ridiculous to watch. That said, I don't think the right scene was chosen for Bruce Lee either, that was a great fight but not his absolute best.

IMO, the best one on this list is They Live. Basically because you actually get to see what the characters look like after a fight like that. The makeup used to make them looked all bruised and swollen was done perfectly.

Yes, the fight scene that showed how white people must get by on pure hard work and heart, where as blacks and "coloreds" people are naturally talented and coast. The Rocky movies and every subsequent Stallone film except Cop Land was nothing but a big long circle jerk. For a boxing movie, a much better example would have been Play It to the Bone, which was actually a well filmed boxing match.

Don't you think Nikolai Luzhin should have been on the list from Eastern Promises? I mean Viggo Mortenson kicked some serious *** in that sauna fight scene and it was realistic too.

that's lame. they showed the theatrical version of the fight between lee and kareem. they totally edited out the part that showed that his weakness was sunlight. the theatrical version is just boring

Where is the claw hammer fight from Oldboy? Really? Kick any Swayze movie off this list.

Hank Smith

This may be a little older than any film discussed here, but I'll never forget John Wayne and Victor MacLaglen's fight in The Quiet Man

Best fight.... Fight Club, the priest vs. guy with a hose

Oldboy should've made the cut. Also, though it's not a human fight, King Kong fighting 3 T-rexes was an incredible sequence, it was simply stunning to see on the big screen!

Thank you for recognizing Tony Jaa now if we can only get him in a Big Hollywood epic with a real story no rescue of elephants or buddah heads
