Best Choreographed fight-scene or use of a weapon!

Grey_Wolf · 06-05-2002, 07:11 AM

Star Wars ep I & II: The Lightsabre duels.

Highlander 1: The end duel between The Highlander and The Kurgan.

The Mark of Zorro (need I say more)

The Three Musketeers (n I s m)

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (n I s m)

Under Siege 1: Best knife-fighting-scene, in the end.

Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves: Trick Archery & Sword-fighting.

A Knight's Tale (n I s m)

The Mummy & The Mummy Returns: Trick shooting.

Robin Hood men in tights, when robin is fighting the big guy on thebridge and the sticks keep breaking!

Darth Tater · 06-05-2002, 01:47 PM

Episode 3, Yoda and Dooku of course, plus the Dooku/Anakin with two sabers fight was filmed beautifully.

Crouching Tiger, the most beautiful fight scene in film history IMO is the one in the bamboo trees. Genius, and the use of music there is perfection.

The Princess Bride - Inigo and Westley's fight on the cliffs!

yeah there is - i started it!

a really good fight that always has me in hysterics is between hugh grant and Colin Firth in Bridget Jone'sDiary!

'Its a fight! a REAL fight!'

mirrille · 06-05-2002, 10:17 PM

Anything with Jet Li in it, but preferably the earlier stuff that's not made weird to fit North American audiences.
There was a Once Upon a Time in China where most of the fighting was done while lion-dancing (hard to explain. you just gotta see it). That was soooo cool.

And he looks so good in traditional costume.

AACHOO · 06-05-2002, 10:22 PM

Lethal Weapon : Mel vs. Gary. Undoubtably one the most realistic savage scenes ever.

Been in a lot of knock down drag outs ( mainly with members of our Marine Corps ) and every time I see this fight it brings back memories.

***Khamûl*** · 06-05-2002, 10:50 PM

One that stands out is the fight in the Chinese warehouse in Jackie Chan's First Strike. When he gets the ladders and the poles, it is amazing. The entire movie was amazing. They had some great choreography in that movie.

The Princess Bride - Inigo and Westley's fight on the cliffs!

***IronParrot*** · 06-06-2002, 10:55 PM

I won't bother repeating too much that's already been listed...

Once Upon A Time In China - both I and II... numerous scenes are worth mentioning, so I won't even bother listing them all.

Raiders of the Lost Ark - Indy versus the scimitar-twirling baddie in the streets of Cairo.

Of all the Star Wars duels, the three-way in Phantom was the best-choreographed, but when you consider other elements such as photography and dramatic effectiveness, it's far from being my favourite...

Monty Python and the Holy Grail - Arthur dismembering the Black Knight!

emplynx · 06-06-2002, 11:13 PM

Shrek. That has the best fight seens ever.
*oh what? not choreographed? animated? no way!?!*

Sorry I just love the Princess Bride!

Starr Polish · 06-07-2002, 01:49 PM

So do I, so do I!

Grey_Wolf · 06-08-2002, 08:00 AM

A few more:

Charlie's Angels

I M - II

Commando (the final knife-duel)

Braveheart (when they trick the English to impale themselves on the raised spears of the Scots)

Excalibur (In the end when Arthur impales himself on Mordred's lance and then drags himself forward to shove Ex. into M:s throat)

***gdl96*** · 06-09-2002, 08:44 AM

Charlies Angels? That movie was TERRIBLE (hmmm...I should go add that to the list of worst movies ever)

I didn't refer to E X C E L L E N T script, but to the funky fightscenes in it.

***gdl96*** · 06-09-2002, 11:13 AM

All the fight scenes ripped off the Matrix and were very unbelievable.

***azalea*** · 06-09-2002, 06:20 PM

The fight at the end of Every Which Way but Loose.
