Right, we all love watching a good fight.
High stakes, drama, knock-down, drag out brawls. What's everyone's favourite fight scene from tv/film?
This is one of mine.
Obviously, keep it clean. We don't need to see MK fatality level gore in live action/animation.

Power Rangers. Class. The stunt men/women are flipping incredible.
Can this thread also include battle scenes? If so the here's the following contribution.

I'm not intrinsically thrilled by violence, so I generally dislike fight scenes and find myself wishing they would end.

Another Power Ranger one. Well, not yet. Super Sentai.
Aliens invade in massive numbers, 34 teams of Super Sentai decide to kick their asses back to space. Unfortunately, the videos with subs are of shocking quality.
And now, with zero context, Kamen Riders Decade, Diend, Hibiki, Ibuki, Zanki, Amaki and Todoroki vs giant enemy crab.

Mambo earns a bonus +2 points for posting the Japanese version of DBZ. Oh, don't get me wrong. I don't think of myself as a dub-hating Japanophile. Just that so many people gush over the FUNimation dub and give it more credit than it deserves, that it's refreshing to see the original version get some acknowledgment where you wouldn't expect it. Anyway, my personal favourite fight scenes would have be the lightsaber duels of the original Star Wars trilogy. The prequel duels are fun to watch, but the fact that originals take them much more deliberately, I find, actually builds up the tension and suspense, and thus, they're more satisfying. There's a certain co-ordination to the original duels which make them feel like actual swordfights. Arguably the prequel duels have sequences of motion and form too, but it's all going so fast it's hard to appreciate them. "What are you thinking?! Talking about fights!? Post some videos already, you prat!" Oh, fine, fine. Star WarsThe Empire Strikes BackReturn of the JediMost would say Luke and Vader's first battle is the best one, and I can see how they would think that. But I personally prefer round two. It's a bit shorter than I would've liked, but to compensate there's a lot more emotional tension going on. |

Just that so many people gush over the FUNimation dub and give it more credit than it deserves, that it's refreshing to see the original version get some acknowledgment where you wouldn't expect it. I've been rewatching it in Japanese with English subs, it's all TeamFourStar's fault!  Thanks to seeing the first airing of the Cartoon Network version as a kid, I preferred the Ocean dub over the FUNi one (it's all about the raspy version of Vegeta!), and I was rather annoyed at the time when CN changed the soundtracks. I think today I prefer watching it without Ocean's or FUNi's messing around with it, adding their own soundtracks, their own differing dialogues. The music on the Japanese version makes it sound like an old Wild West stand-off, it's pretty funny. The English versions take themselves far too seriously. Anyways, to ruin said bonus points, here is the Wolf stealing someone's pants. Not really a fight as such, but I guess it's still a one on one - and when I was 9, this was hilarious: |

Scene from Undefeatable. Brilliant scene, one of my favourites from any martial arts film.
Part one of the Smith fight from The Matrix Revolutions. This gets high votes from me.
Part two. Even awesomer.
This scene is legendary. That is all.
This one gets near the top of my list. It is truly amazing how much Guile kicks Bison's arse.
