Best Movie Fights/Action films Of All Time?: Vanity
self ^ | 4/14/2011 | paulycy

Posted on 04/14/2011 4:25:32 AM PDT by paulycy

My middle son is a (straight) professional actor in a major metropolitan area. He asked me to name my favorite movie fights/action pics of all time. I figured I'd put it to the FReeper community of military, martial arts, movie buffs and various masters of mayhem to help come up with the best of the best.

Rocky 1 was pretty good IMO.

Is that a sci-fi?

dont know if this qualifies, but:

last scene, the one in the bar, from “Shane”:
“I heard of you”
“what have you heard shane?”
“I heard you were a low down Yankee liar”

Pretty good “chairs upside the head” fight in “Shane” when they’re at the dry goods store.

“Hard Times” with Charles Bronson is pretty good.
“Streets of Fire” directed by Walter Hill is quirky but interesting.

None can top the classic fight in The Quiet Man.

You can stop right there.

Steven Segal can't act but he can fight.
