This is a hard one, but here goes:
1. Jackie Chan “Mall Fight” in Police Story. May not seem like much nowadays, but back then (I first saw it in 1988), it blew me away. That sequence alone told me “I haven’t seen a real action movie until now…”
2. Donnie Yen “Dojo” fight in the first Ip Man flick. I can’t find the words. After seeing a lot of Donnie Yen duds throughout the years, I finally became a fan of his.
3. Bruce Lee’s first fight in The Big Boss (“You wanna fight? I’ll take you on”). By no means is this Bruce Lee’s best fight per se, but it’s my favorite because of the way it was presented. After a long build up, it was so satisfying to watch him let loose after wearing that promissory “I promised my mom I would never fight” necklace! I can only imagine what it was like watching it in 1971.
This is a tough one, but here goes:
1. Flash Point: the final fight between Indpector Ma and Tony
2. Arahan: the restaurant fight between Sang-huan and the criminal thugs
3. Police Story: the shopping mall melee at the end
1. The fight scene with Jet Li and Donnie Yen in Once upon a Time in China part 2, the throat slashing with a strain of wood…..fucking amazing! 2. Jackie Chan’s fight scene at the mall in Police Story. 3. The first fight scene in Ip Man when the other Master wants to test his skills after he gets finished eating with his family, after the scene was over, I knew I was watching something very special.
I’ve been watching martial arts films all my life and love them to death. ok my 3 picks are 1. Bruce lee and chuck Norris end fight in WAY OF THE DRAGON. hands down its one of the best fight scenes ever filmed. 2. Jackie Chan in DRUNKEN MASTER 2. the ending fight scenes were pure amazing. 3. van damme and bolo young in BLOODSPORT. in my eyes its the best martial art from the 80s.
Agreed fully on all three.
1. The end fight from Drunken Master 2. I have watched this scene countless times and continue to be amazed.
2. The table scene from Ip Man 2. I showed this scene to my dad, who does like martial arts movies, and he was amazed. He started watching martial arts movies very soon after that.
3. The alley scene from Shao Po Long. Absolutely amazing!
Agree on the first, amazing!!!
That one never really impressed me for some reason. To me, that Drunken Master II end-fight seemed more like a re-hash of Jackie’s end-fight from 1980’s YOUNG MASTER.
1. The end fight in Dragons Forever since you have Jackie vs. Benny, some amazing acrobatics from Yuen Biao, Sammo fighting drugged up, and some great stunts.
2. Donnie yen vs 10 in the first Ip Man movie. It’s hard to beat the brutality and a man getting chain punched to the ground.
3. Tony Jaa end fight in Tom Yum Goong. It starts off with Tony destroying 40 guys by breaking limbs or tearing joints. He then takes on the 3 giants and destroys their legs. It then finishes with him doing the double flying knee off the building to get the lady.
1. Roddy Piper and Keith David in They Live. Funny and Brutal at the same time.
2.The long unbroken camera shot of Tony Jaa fighting the bad guys in Tom Yum Goong. Brilliant film-making and fight choreography.
3.The last fight scene in Enter The Dragon. Very suspenseful and engaging.
I never seen this Ip Man flick before, but is that Anthony Wong? You guys know he used to do category III films right?
Donnie Yen was in the first two Ip Man films, which the one everyone is talking about is the first Ip Man.
Wow this is hard. So many to choose from
1. Dragon Forever – The boat scene. Incredible acrobatics. Also fight at the end with Benny The Jet. Classic Jackie!
2. Who Am I? – The rooftop scene
3. Flash Point – Donnie vs Chou.
4. Tom Yum Goong – Tony Jaa vs bad guys in black suits. Bone crushing!
1. Drunken Master II – When Jackie fights a bunch of guys at the market, and his mother is tossing him bottles during the fight.
2. Forbidden Kingdom – Jackie vs Jet! Say what you want about the movie (I like it), this fight, choreographed by Woo-Ping, is just awesome to watch.
3. Tai Chi Master – Vs the entire temple. Jet and his close monk childhood friend are banished from the temple, leading to a fight against every monk in the temple. Poles flying everywhere, monks stacked on monks, slippery floor, just awesomeness coming out of the walls!
Favorite Fights
1. Bruce Lee vs Chuck Norris from “Way Of The Dragon”. This is what I use to rate other fight scenes. There has been better choreography since, but this still entertains.
2. Donnie Yen vs Michael Woods “In The Line Of Duty IV”. During Donnie’s early film career there were a number of fights with Michael Woods. Out of all their encounters, this one is the best.
3. Brandon Lee vs Al Leong “Rapid Fire”. Not the best fight compared to other fight scenes, but when the fight came out, I was excited to see Brandon’s future projects. He had so much potential. Every time I watch it I think, “Damn, he would’ve been so good in (Fill movie name here post 1993)”
3. The hallway fight in “Oldboy” – It was very unique, the way it was shot and choreographed. One guy taking on a horde of thugs, using nothing but boxing skills and a hammer. He gets whacked upside the head with 2x4s, gets kicked multiple times and gets a knife in the back but he keeps on beating these guys up. Spike Lee won’t top it in his remake and he probably shouldn’t.
2. The hotel fight in “The Protector” – Simply put, my interest in Thailand martial arts began with this movie and its fight scene (one of many awesome fight scenes). The best part of it all was it was shot in one take, no cuts until the end. Tony Jaa totally killed it, big time.
1. The dojo fight in “Fist of Fury (The Chinese Connection)” – I became a fan of Bruce Lee when I saw both “The Big Boss” and “Fist of Fury” in the early days of DVD but it was “Fist of Fury” that really made me a fan of Lee, his work and gave a reason to seek out his other movies. His style truly shines in the fight scene inside the dojo in “Fist of Fury” where he singlehandedly took out an entire class with a ton of skill and one nun-chuck. It’s one of the greatest fight scenes of all time.
It’s impossible to narrow it down to just three, but here’s some good ones:
1. Lam Ching Ying vs. Frankie Chan in The Prodigal Son. It was filmed over 30 years ago and it’s still one of the fastest, crispest fights I’ve ever seen. Just perfect.
2. End fight from 8 Diagram Pole Fighter. So bloody and over the top, I love it haha.
3. End fight from Monkey Kung Fu. Severely underrated fight scene. Really creative and imaginative choreography from Tonys Leung and Ching.
1. Nicholas Tse (Dragon) and Shawn Yue (Turbo Shek) vs Donnie Yen (Tiger) and the gang in Dragon Tiger Gate. This scene is so fun and the introduction of Turbo Shek my favorite charcter in the film. This movie reignited my Martial arts Movie collection.
2. Jacky Wu Jing in Fatal Contact in the tunnel fight. this is where her notice his buddy is not just a useless vagabond and can actually fight. I love the multiple opponent fight scences.
3. Michael Jai White in Blood and Bone. The part where the hispanic guys doesn’t want to give him his money after he wins the street fight and starts sending everyone to “take this guy down” White performs a four way kick while in the air all the while Dante Basco is cheering him on and to top it all of, when it was all said and done he got Gina Carano’s number.
bbueno , bien ajajajaaa , sin donnie yen no es lo mismo . y creo no quiso hacer esta peli , por motivos , no se ajajjaa , bueno esperemos las procimas de el y todo el cine asiatico de accion ,un saludo desde andalucia
My three all time favorite fight scenes
1. Jackie Chan vs Benny “The Jet” Urquidez in “Meals On Wheels”.
Childhood favorite.
2. Tommy Lee Jones vs Benicio Del Toro in “The Hunted”.
Most realistic knife. Raw, clumsy, unrefined, beautiful
3. Min-sik Choi’s hammer fight in “Old Boy”.
Nice wide shot. Beautiful. You are able to see ever move delivered.
1) Donnie Yen vs 10 black belts (Ip man) This fight is just great, at no time did i ever think it was fake or impossible to pull off. The fight was so brutal but yet beautifully shot it had me sitting on the edge of my seat. This is one of those movie fights i will go back to watch on youtube from time to time.
2) Jackie Chan in (Dragon Lord) the Barn fight (final fight). This fight is just 8 mins of pure ass kicking action. Jackie Chan at his best, This fight is is a brawl until you can’t stand up type of fight and that is the best type of fight’s i love to watch over and over again.
3) Gordon Liu vs Lung Wei Lung (martial club), The fight scene where they are fighting what looks like in a back alley where the streets get narrow at some points. This fight is showing the beauty of martial arts. There timing and chemistry is prefect throughout the whole fight . To me this was one of the best fight scenes i seen in a Shaw Brother film ever. Once again this fight i go back to again from time to time on youtube just to see greatness.
Okay, here we go..
1) Jackie Chan vs Benny “The Jet” Urquidez in Wheels on Meals. I think I burnt out my old VHS player re-watching this fight over and over. It’s fast, it’s hard hitting, candle blow-out-y goodness.
2) Donnie vs. Wu Jing in SPL. Again, re-watch city. Fast, fluid, emotional and violent…fight scenes do NOT get better than this.
3) Kara Hui and Hsiao Ho vs. many henchman in My Young Auntie. Gotta represent the old school here! This fight scene is one of the most complex old school fights ever. The camera starts with one of our heroes engaged with a group of henchmen, whip pans to the other person, also fighting, for a while, and then whip pans back to the original fight that is still continuing. The execution required to pull this off…I can’t even imagine. This was the height of old school action choreography.
1. Frankie Chan versus Lam Ching Ying in “The Prodigal Son” – I don’t think there’s a single fight with more complex and rhythmic handwork. Everything about this film is perfect and filled with so much precision it’s unbelievable.
2. Gordon Liu versus Johnny Wang in “Dirty Ho” – I have a thing for covert fights and this is the king. The wine tasting combined with a fight neither opponent lets onto is just amazing to behold. Some great handwork and comical moments in this one.
3. Jackie Chan versus Hwang In Shik in “The Young Master” – Not so complex, I know, but as far as brutality goes, this film was doing it long before Tony Jaa and Donnie Yen. Jackie gets pummeled here and just keeps coming back. Great stuff.
1. Enter the Dragon – Hall of mirrors final fight. The pacing had me on the edge if my seat as a young kid.
2. A Bittersweet Life – from the moment LBH’s character removes the cellphone battery to escape his predicament. Korean films seem to show the chaos level quite wonderfully.
3. The Matrix – Neo’s first fight in the dojo. Great intro for a game-changing franchise.
