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.

I’m going to have to leave for a couple hours but I’ll check back then and give them a look and get back to you.

Thank you for the link!

Very good, I think if anyone is going to get serious about this there’s going to have to be categories. Others have already posted suggestions, I would suggest broadening the categories to include TV shows, weapons, hand-to-hand, etc.

No, the china was after the Double Header with Marsha Scott and Eleanor Mondale.

This one features her squeezing the last 5 ounces of the “Love Nest Musk Scented East Glide” up his nose.

(We are soooooo bad!) :)

***El Cid...***

It is out on DVD! The jousting scenes are the standard for all knights in armor movies.

Well, here’s the best Western Gun Fight. Never, EVER mess with Clint Eastwood’s mule, I’m mean seriously ...

At 0:58 seconds into you’ll see it’s the best scene EVER !

Ninja Assassin and Enter the Dragon. Though dialogue in the latter is pretty bad.

I just saw Ong Bak on HDNet Movies and it is great.

I haven’t seen the sequels. Hopefully they show them again.

Curse of the Golden Flower is a great movie, but I wouldn’t consider it an action film. There were some good actions scenes.

I love “Used Cars”. One of the funniest movies around. Of course “Blazing Saddles” is right up there too.
