Some Bruce Lee fight scenes are great, but they are somewhat choreographed. The most realistic fight scene of all time IMO, is in Franco Zefferllis Romeo and Juliet. That is as true of a street feet that aristrocatic men had at the time...between Romeo and Tybalt. Modern fight scenes like the Matrix are not realistic.

If you like unrealistic bollywood films and you love Indians I cant argue with you. Athelone making a cameo is debatable lol.

There are a lot of good ones that I've posted throughout the forum in various contexts. Here's one to start:

I've always liked this one. Not stylish or elegant, just great.





South Park paid homage to it.

Maybe my definition of a great fight scene is when you feel like you are in seeing true street fight. Choreographed fight scenes dont do it for me. The fight in Pulp fition with Bruce Willis and the big black ganster is a good one too.

So you like them realistic, but not too realistic?

If we're talking movies, I like them to be super-stylized--with dudes flying through the air, if need be. For real fights, I like MMA-style highlights. I think of those separately.

Yeah because in real life no one keeps hitting a guy when he goes down to the ground, and the fight never ends up on the ground.

Great thread. I'm gonna cast my vote for another Van Damme film, after he did "Bloodsport". The movie is "Cyborg" from 1989. It's not so much that this gets my vote based on just the fight sequence alone, but also the villain. Meet Fender Tremolo. The most underappreciated bad guy in movie history. Also, check out the opening monologue from this film. It's legendary.

These are okay fight scenes, but they're missing something. Something like The Glow:

What about Gary Busey and Mel Gibson's fight at the end of the first Lethal Weapon? I love Gibson's quote: "Would you like a shot at the title?"

I always laugh when ol school breaks the bench at 1:50.




You don't want to watch this clip if you have a weak stomach.

In The Raid Redemption he gets chased by 4 guys with machete's it's fucking crazy

Though I'll always remember Butch Cassidy's fight with the 'new leader' of his old gang, was a great scene just for the simplicity of the fight and alphaness oozing out through Newman and Redford

I like this one. Perhaps it's not fully realistic, but it's very fast and filled with adrenaline.
