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. |

Most recently Mickey Rourke in "Sin City"
Jeff Speakman in "The Perfect Weapon" The scene in the gym...Damn he's got fast hands |
|
Braveheart:
Going after the British garrison after his wife is killed and when he goes after the Royals after being betrayed. Return of the Dragon: Scene where Bruce Lee kicks Chuck Norris' ass in the Colisium. |
|
Barroom fight scene in Treasure of the Sierra Madre starring Bogart
|
|
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.
|
|
The alley fight in "They Live"....and the South Park remake of the same fight between Timmah and Jimmy.
|
|
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.
|
|
That's the first one I thought of when I read the thread title. |
|
|
The Simpsons parodied that, with Marge being the ass-kicker |
|
|
The greatest fight in cinema history is John Wayne vs Victor McLaglen in "The Quiet Man"
|
|
+1 on Godfater part one 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. |
|
|
And the longest buildup. I couldn't WAIT for that one to start. |
|
|
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". |
|
|
Just about all the fight scenes in "Gangs of New York"
"Thats a wound...." |
|
+1, that is what I thought of. |
|
|
+1. One of my all time favorite movies. Usually for days afterward, I'm whistling "The Irish Washerwoman" tune. |

|
The truckstop sequence in "Smokey and the Bandit" where Jerry Reed gets his ass kicked by the bikers... then gets his revenge!
|
|
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.
|
|
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. Edited for lack of proper spelling. |
|
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. |
|
The Presidio where Sean Connery beats the guy up with his thumbs.
|
|
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! |
|
I'm having a brain cramp!
The one with Demi Moore where shes fighting the Master Chief in the hut when shes prisoner. DAMN! That is a brutal scene. |
|
|
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. |
|
|
Vin Diesel & Kevin Gage "500 Fights" Knockaround Guys. Ya Ya I know you think He's ghey... |
|
Cripple fight and it's inspiration, "They Live" seem to be leading the pack.
my pick too, first thing I thought of. |
|
+1 This was a classic "old school" ass kicking. |
|
|
I’ll add Clint Eastwood’s Philo Beddoe
and the climatic fight with William Smith's Jack Wilson in “Any Which Way You Can” A town was smashed up. "Right turn, Clyde." |
|
ROFL! Man! I wish I knew the name of that movie! |
|
|
+1 BEST FIGHT EVER! (Even with the break for a pint and the Priests keeping book!) |
|
|
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) |
|
|
Third season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Buffy vs. Faith. Lots of great catfights.
