Awesome Fight Scenes You Remember From Fiction

[CarlManvers2019]

As the title says, go post whatever fictional fight scenes you remember and found really fucking awesome



I still remember this awesome melee.....Blood Knights are awesome

There are so many awesome fight scenes, but for now I’ll just post one that I like. The Punisher in prison:

 

[CarlManvers2019]

Thor VS Lu Bu/Ryofu Hosen

One is a Norse God, the latter is a Mongolian Warlord.

They differ in a number of ways but both have two similarities. Their claim to the title of “Strongest” and their “boredom”.

 

[ShieldWife]

One of Captain America’s great movements.

 

[PsihoKekec]

Spoiler: Brain Dead - somewhat gorey scene

The glorious hallway brawl from the Oldboy

 

[Lanmandragon]

I remember being a kid and watching DBZ. The scence where Goku first goes SS 1 send gives the "I am the hope of the universe speech". Gave me goosebumps then and it still does now. In my opinion that scene is one of the best in all of fiction. I could literally feel the hope that Goku represented. Powerful moment is an understatement.

 

[Hlaalu Agent]

As lackluster a movie as it was, The One did have some nice fight scenes, especially the end, which is in some way a happy ending for the bad guy...

 

[Big Steve]

The fight that I grew up loving (and crying at):

 

[PsihoKekec]

Stairway scene was done in a single take

 

[LTR]

DareDevil versus Nuke from DareDevil #232 (Volume One).

The train car fight in the second James Bond film, From Russia With Love (1963).



It was a very nicely done fight scene, a suitable martial climax to that storyline and had a great intensity and display of grit and nice choreography despite the time period. The fight scene was made all the better by proper character and plot setup and placing it within the context of the plot itself. It took place in a confined space and didn't need elaborate choreography or acrobatics for the performers to execute but it still was very well done. It was an intense fight scene which complimented a movie which really balanced the aspects of humor, spycraft, gadgetry, intrigue and characters that hasn't really been matched yet. It helped solidify the Red Grant type of character as an iconic archetypical villain (which would have lots of derivatives in the subsequent Bond films) and in general. With a lot of films now being accused of being Bourne clones including the latest Bond actor, here we have a movie with fight scenes that helped reflect that 'Bourne' style action thriller forty years ahead of time.

The actual brawl itself doesn't begin until about halfway into the video.

On the anime spacebattle side:



Before Seikai no Senki I had never seen a battle in space that actually felt like one.

In more serious films, for drama and choreography, the final battle in Sword of Desperation is beyond perfect.

It is very...dated, edited and obviously over-acted nowadays, but it's pretty much one of the iconic 'styles' of portraying fighting for an entire generation of movies (and, really, the 'slo-mo moment' hasn't really left us, has it?). Plus, perhaps the thing I remember most about it seeing as I watched it when I was, like, twelve...Jean-Claude van Damme-look at that beautiful Belgian bod!😋

Spoiler: Bloodsport

Perhaps also ranking up there for me just because it sticks out in my mind as an instance where 'environment' was really intentionally used by the filmmakers to liven things up and raise the stakes...The 'chain fight' from Soldier. No great video is readily available for it, but Kurt Russel's spartan-warrior/android character and a few buddies have to take on a single one of the next generation after climbing up a half-dozen or so chains that are suspended a hundred feet in the air. There's some fun camera angles and some inventive choreography to the whole thing that makes it more interesting to watch than if they'd just been duking it out on the ground.

Spoiler: McClintock!

Big ol' fight scene in an old John Wayne movie that's corny and features the usual 50s-60s over-acting and punch sound effects and people getting hit despite the punches thrown at them never connecting...But hell if it isn't fun and funny--the exact stuff Blazing Saddles parodied years later but played (relatively) straight. I love it. Plus:

'Pilgrim you caused a lot of trouble this morning and might'a got somebody killed, and somebody oughta belt you in the mouth. But I won't. I won't...The hell I won't!' *punch*

This movie rather epically demonstrates the problems Islam has had taking on the modern world for a lot longer than Iraq and Afghanistan....

I always hated this fight actually. It's Kenpachi, who spends 99% of the fight not even trying, against Nnoitra, who can functionally not be harmed until 90% of the way through the fight. Neither one of them is a particularly interesting swordsman, or really applies any strategy besides "Run Forward and Swing weapon", and of course, Kenpachi wins instantly when he stops fucking around and swings his sword one time at full strength, and of course, Nno walks straight into it.

It maybe really fucking dumb, but one thing’s for sure, there was an awesome clash of force

Tite Kubo forgot that and just kept switching and showing trump cards for his characters

There's a lovely film that combines BOTH of these.



And honestly, it's a pretty good film. One of my favorites, certainly one of my favorite JCVD films. Such a random find, a war movie starring JCVD with a direct-to-video production to it but it was still a great watch. Quality film for what it is.

It may have a lot of stereotypes in it now but when the lobby fight scene from the Matrix came out is was ground breaking. The only reason it looks like a stereotype now is that everyone has copied it for 20 years now.

The whole fight scene is very satisfying as the build up of superhuman and gaming the "rules" of the Matrix was sprinkled throughout the movie. This is really the first big scene that threw it all together in one big action fest and is a great kick off for the movie's finale.
