Best film fistfight

[Idris2002]

A good knife fight, but not a fisty

I see you've played knifey-spoony before.

weepiper I watched Neds last night off the back of this thread and was impressed. Like a 'Made in Britain' but with one key difference

Every Which Way But Loose - Clint Eastwood

Every Which Way But Loose - Clint Eastwood

I think I recall that scene- in jail and a monster of a man with a huuuuge jaw takes on clint, right

 

[Jon-of-arc]

Serenity - River Tam bar scene. Awesome for both choreography, and for the way it reveals that this timid, scared character is actually a dangerously unhinged unbelievably skilled warrior.

 

[butcher]

FTW

 

[Bakunin]

Fuck yeah:

This thread would be incomplete without the legend himself, ably assisted by a few friends:

Have we had a hammer fight that turns into a fist fight yet?

Have we had a hammer fight that turns into a fist fight yet?

The lad at 2:09 who manages to hit the wall with his stick then falls over. That'd be me.

Spike Lee royally fucked this scene up in the remake. Just fellas stepping up to be hammered posing little threat

Swayze



(tl:dw - fwd to 2:44 to watch Swayze lose his shit and after some excellent wobbling in exhaustion, administer a savage beating culminating in the throat rip death punch thing he swore he'd never do again not after the last terrible thing that happened but needs must eh )

 

[Sweet FA]

Sweeney (Not a film but I can't find the whole of the fight scene from the first Sweeney film).

Frank Kemble from 1:10 RARRR!

 

[Sweet FA]

Sweeney film trailer. Punch up action (wild swinging, thrown into the side of Transits, coats pulled over heads) from 0:16. Waterman's haircut a thing of hypnotic beauty.

 

[skyscraper101]

One of the worst acted movies ever, but this fight scene is pretty rad

 

[skyscraper101]

Personal favourite is Eddie Murphy v Nick Nolte in 48 Hours

 

[Ming]

For one punch knockouts Dead Man's Shoes has got to be up there.

 

[Sigmund Fraud]

I like the ones where they are just throwing each other through suspiciousy flims bartops and so on, reeling out in the street and knocking seven dozen bells out of each other.

.

Got to love Brannigan - the Duke, Dickie and a blink and you'll miss him Nigel Planer - comedy pub fighting.



Action starts at 1:35

 

[albionism]

Rip Torn vs Norman Mailer

 

[Ponyutd]

Grosse Point Blanke.

 

[butcher]

Fight breaks out at 1:57:

 

[metalguru]

Clint Eastwood springs to mind. Can't find a youtube clip, but the pool hall ambush scene in Coogan's Bluff is a good example of Clint at his brawling best.

 

[Bernie Gunther]

Grosse Point Blanke.

Benny the Jet again ...

I absolutely refuse to watch the remake.

The Quiet Man...


thread over

Aye it doesn't get any better than this^^

I remember watching it with my dad as a kid. My fondest memories of the old man are watching JW movies and eating sardines on toast.

Niles and Frasier Crane: "Niles, you're supposed to put the thumb on the outside of your fist"

Sweeney (Not a film but I can't find the whole of the fight scene from the first Sweeney film).

Frank Kemble from 1:10 RARRR!

Seem to recall Carter describing Kemble as so hard, "even the twins left him alone"

 

[Pseudopsycho]

Tony Jaa in Warrior King restaurant scene. A single shot sequence that lasts nearly 4 minutes (steadicam from 20s to "Where are my elephants!" :

 

[trabuquera]

Ok, it escalates quickly, but this at least begins with traditional fisticuffs...
