Little bit of useless trivia, that scene in Indiana Jones was unscripted. Indiana was supposed to fight that guy but he had the flu (in real life) and decided he’d had enough, so he shot him.

Mano a Mano...gotta be the first "Rocky".

Saw this flick in a movie theater. At the end...the entire audience was standing up screaming for Rocky to finish off Apollo....and then a huge groan when the final bell rang. I even heard shouts of "SHORT ROUND"!!

At a movie no less!!!

When a film can generate that, it has achieved it's goal!

Here's one that was enjoyable that very few would think of:

The Last Dragon Fight Scene

[RFEngineer]

I liked the fight scene in the Bourne Identity with the other assassin - had a real “feel” to it..... (I think that is the right movie)

[Francis McClobber]

John Wayne and Victor Mclagen fight in “The Quiet Man”

[Logic n' Reason]

OK...on to the rest...
1. Rocky,
2. The Kingdom of Heaven,
3. Braveheart,
4. Raging Bull,
5. The Mark of Zorro (Tyron Power and Basil Rathbone sword fight - no doubles used)

[Pan_Yan]

Sho’nuff. That is one cheezy movie. It qualifies as a guilty pleasure.

This is an excellent clip. I’ve never seen El Cid (I’m embarrassed to say.) I’ll have to get it on netflix soon.

[A. Morgan]

DANNY THE DOG aka Unleashed (2005)

[Daffynition]

Popeye defending Olive Oyl against villainous Bluto. Popeye lost his eye in a fight, I heard.

[IronJack]

Christian Bale in “Equilibrium.” Any of a dozen fights but especially the “gun katas”.

[InvisibleChurch]

john carpenter ... two guys are fighting one another . the white guy wants the black guy to put on a pair of glasses and the black guy doesn’t want to put them on

[Logic n' Reason]

And to see how many old folks are paying attention, any of the Rocky Graziano- Tony Zale fights.

Excellent! Watched two of these with my dad. What battles they were!

I love that movie and am a huge Bronson fan. I picked the steel cage match, but the last fight is truly awesome. Bronson was unbelievably cut for that movie and he was in his 50’s. He didn’t need a lot of lines - just watching him in action was great.

[ConservativeWarrior]

Last Man Standing has some pretty good over-the-top comic book gun fights.

It’s almost like watching a video game.

[Sherman Logan]

The one where Wayne and McLaglen fought or the one where Wayne and O’hare fought and he drug her ass around all of Ireland?

B sequed directly into A.

[PowderMonkey]

Any John Wayne picture. No contest. My favorite is the bar fight scene in "Donovan's Reef." However, the mud bog fight in "McClintock" is a close 2nd!

[Bed_Zeppelin]

‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ has some good fight scenes as does ‘Gladiator’ with Russell Crowe, and ‘Road Warrior’ with Mel Gibson. The fight between TV anchors in ‘Anchorman.’ ‘Kill Bill I and II’ has some classic fights.

[mozarky2]

Roy L. Fuchs vs. Jeff in “Used Cars”.

[Lysandru]

Lets try the climaxes of:

The Way of the Gun

The Light Horsemen

Glory

Marhch or Die

The Wild Bunch(And the opening scenes)

Let's also go with the "Battle of Studley Contable" in The Eagle Has Landed
