hamster Posted 22 July, 2009 Share Posted 22 July, 2009 (edited) What is your favourite FIST filght scene in a film? I expect a few nasty gratuitous suggextions from blood-thirsty youngsters among us, but for me, this one is not just a good fight, it is quite amusing and one that can be enjoyed by the whole family, over 50 years old too; The Quiet Man: Skip to about 60 seconds for the first punch.

skintsaint Posted 22 July, 2009 Share Posted 22 July, 2009 that first punch in the gut looks like it would hurt... one of mine is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYHZEu7Y7DU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff leopard Posted 23 July, 2009 Share Posted 23 July, 2009 Nobody said it had to be a fist fight.... very good call, and I'll raise you with the beach assualt in private ryan and the attack on the japanese camp in thin red line. I watched the bourne trilogy the other day and the fight scenes in that are amazing, especially when he's flattening assasins with everyday household items, such as rolled up magazines, cook books, trifles and sleepy kittens. there's a hilarious deconstructed fight scene in Alphaville (oh those crazy french) which culminates with the hero driving over the villan's head. and least we forget the amazing fight scenes Scorsese gives us in Mean Streets and Raging Bull. oh yeah, when neo fights agent smith at the end of the first (and in my book, the only) matrix film. i could go on...

hamster Posted 23 July, 2009 Author Share Posted 23 July, 2009 I have to say that although the suggestions so far are quite good, they are not (by any stretch of the imagination) authentic. I maintain that the OP of the Duke vs. Vic McLaglen looks like every punch thrown actually connects. Two extremely tough men having a great time punching the crap out of each other.

Redbul Posted 24 July, 2009 Share Posted 24 July, 2009 The fight scene between Bob Hoskins and Bruce Jones in 24 7: Twenty Four Seven resulted in a broken rib for Bruce apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 30 July, 2009 Share Posted 30 July, 2009 My favourite scenes are a mixture of fist and guns fights, are from Equilibrium (a matrix rip off staring Christian Bale.) It's an incredibly dumb film interspersed with outstanding set pieces. A great no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
equalizer Posted 30 July, 2009 Share Posted 30 July, 2009 Not bad special effects considering it was made in the early 80's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD1NeuADd-s This is one of my favourites, good comedic value too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsZpdUUdd3I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsaint Posted 2 August, 2009 Share Posted 2 August, 2009 The anchorman fight scene has to be up there. First thIng I thought of when I saw this thread! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbC8vy3wta8 Ripley vs the Queen from Aliens would be my choice,suprisingly can't find a video of it on youtube.

Redbul Posted 2 September, 2009 Share Posted 2 September, 2009 Having watched Watchmen for the nth time (the kids love it) the fight scene in the alley that Laurie Juspeczyk (Silk Spectre II) and Dan Dreiburg (Night Owl II) have with the Knot Heads is pretty good. But there's a scene in the bar where Rorschach crushes a glass that is being held by the bloke who passed on the contract to assassinate Veidt that reminded me of the bar fight in The Ninth Configuration.

Gigersaint Posted 2 September, 2009 Share Posted 2 September, 2009 Bruce Lee - Fist of Fury school fight. Brought this movie when I was a kid in the early 80's, killed the tape rewinding this scene watching it over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
