A couple of my favorites:

A Bronx Tale
When Sonny (Chaz Palmenteri) and his fellow mafiosi beat the ever-loving snot out of the bikers in the neighborhood taproom. Goombas with baseball bats and bottles laying waste to the 1%ers.

The Rundown
Beck (Duane Johnson) wears out the football players in the opening of the movie. The flashes of X-rays showing the resulting broken bones are a nice touch.

The Way of the Gun
The opening scene, when Longbaugh and Parker (Benicio Del Toro and Ryan Phillipe) take on the whole crowd outside the club, and make a point of slamming the women so the men they're fighting (getting their asses kicked by) will lose even though they win the fight.

The original "Manchurian Candidate" 1962. Maj. Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra) and the houseboy/commie traitor Chunjin (Henry Silva) beat the hell out of each other and destroyed Raymond Shaw’s (Laurence Harvey's) apartment in the process. That fight scene set the standard for all the movies that followed.

It is the small screen, but on of my all-time favorites is in Lonesome Dove when Capt. Call flat wears out the Army scout.

Sonny kicks the shit out Carlo on the street in front of the neighborhood. I love the peach/orange action suit he's wearing.. sweet.. I have always wanted to pull a James Caan smash the trashcan lid move on someone.. thats not gonna buff out.

That fight scene was also re-created on the Simpsons with marge as Sonny.

Classic, great call!

I'll also say that in Steven Seagal's earlier flicks he had some solid rumbles- the one where he was avenging his wife's death and goes into a (mobster's?) house while they're playing pool, breaks the pool cue in half, jams it down the bad guy's neck and says "That was for my wife, F*ck you and die"...

I also have a soft spot in my heart for the fight scene in "They Live", as well as several in "The Matrix".

One of my all time favorite movies. Usually for days afterward, I'm whistling "The Irish Washerwoman" tune.

I always enjoy the fight in "Gross Point Blank". Cusak poping the top off the pen and jamming it in the hit mans neck is a great end to a good brawl.

Black Knight vs. King Aurther

its only a flesh wound.

My favorites lately have been Uma Thurman's in Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2. Damn, it was good to watch her kick the shit out of Vivica Fox.

Jason Statham's poker party fight in The Transporter; same with the ridiculous but insanely amusing oil fight later on.

The best, by far though, is They Live. Jeebus.

Great thread. Tagged.

Votes for

1."They Live" and the Southpark recreation.
2. The Quiet Man..........BTW, the look on the guy's face when he see's the "newlywed's" bed the 'morning after' is a priceless moment of movie history, back when movies were subtle about sexual issues.

Great fight scene. That was a classic old school ass kicking and I got to see it live - they filmed it around the corner from me - which was appropriate being that it was actually filmed in a genuine La Costra Nostra controlled part of East Harlem.

Kill Bill Vol 1 when Kiddo takes on the Crazy 88... and pretty much kills them all.

ETA:

Big Trouble In Little China...

At the end when Lo Pan throws the knife at Jack Burton, and he catches it, throws it back and kills Lo Pan. THWACK!

Nothing like a righteous ass kicking!

Both excellent choices, the first scene that popped into my mind was the Chuck Norris vs. Bruce Lee classic in the Colosseum. That was nice.

A more obscure reference; Mad Monkey Kung Fu, final fight scene, student and master come together to finish the thugs. It doesn't get any better than that, my personal favorite.

I’ll add Clint Eastwood’s Philo Beddoe

yeah... that was pretty good stuff. Not many will know that, and Tex's roundhouse kick looks rather lousy. STILL GOOD THOUGH!

Craziest and longest Kung-Fu fight I've ever seen put onto film was,
Jackie Chan's Who Am I? (1998)
