My favourite fight scene of the last few years, has to be the bus fight, from 'Nobody'. A side of the great Bob Odenkirk that few ever expected to see. It's brutal, kinetic, and weirdly funny, and the end is 100% unexpected.
You missed the mark with the Phantom Menace, the lightsaber duel is awesome, but the truly best scene in Star Wars is when the scene pauses and the 3 are separated by the red force fields. This scene is pure cinema.
One scene I go back to over and over - including live audience reactions - is "on your left"/"Avengers Assemble" from Avengers: Endgame. I always wish I could go back and watch that for the first time again.
Humphrey Bogart and Tim Holt vs Barton MacLane in The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre (1948) would be one of my best fight scene picks. By the way, nice pick of a Mike Hammer film(played by his own creator, no less!)
@@Miller54K That's definitely one of the best. And fun fact, John Carpenter has said that the They Live fight scene was inspired by the fight between John Wayne and Victor McLaglen in The Quiet Man (1952), directed by John Ford. That's another all-time great fight scene.
@@INKSTARS1138 yeah that’s one of the things that’s cool about Christopher Nolan is he likes to not use CGI that much. Like the tractor trailer flipping over in The Dark Knight was a real truck.
ALL of the one-shots in Children of Men - the attack on the car while driving, their escape from the safehouse, but especially the last one where the war stops/starts as they travel through the chaos. So brilliantly executed.
Favorite fight scene is morpheus and the agent in the first matrix movie. The whole movie is great, but that scene is extra visceral, in close quarters with all the tile smashing and the dust flying
Definitely! Also is several other gun fights in among others The Professional Killers 2. Those or that one are in a different level of fights, and definitely has a place in the best fight scene in movie history.
Two scenes I'll never forget: The Mothership in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I returned to the movie house 6 times just to rewatch the last 30 minutes. The climactic 'suicide' jump/fall at the end of The Game. Yes, the movie is preposterous in it's plotting...but if you suspend your disbelief and just go with the flow, it's an intriguing mystery flick, and fun run, that gets clearer with each viewing.
Best movie fight is either the sword duel between the Masked Man and Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride or the final fight between the Townsfolk, Railway Workers and LaMarr's thugs (which devolves into total chaos in Warner Brothers Studios.) You missed: The final attack on the Death Star in Star Wars. Andy's escape from Shawshank. The Battle of Helms Deep in LoTR: The Two Towers. Colonel Jessup's witness box interrogation in A Few Good Men. Omaha Beach, Saving Private Ryan. Ramelle Bridge battle, Saving Private Ryan. Final air battle in Top Gun. Lobby Scene in The Matrix. Atlanta Railyards in Gone With The Wind. Sinking of the Titanic in Titanic. The Final Boat Scene in Some Like It Hot. The crucifixion scene in The Life of Brian. The Time Warp in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Championship fight in Rocky. Dr Rumer brings Striker into the cockpit in Airplane. The Boar/Samurai attack on Iron Town in Princess Mononoke.
Sucker Punch really doesn't get the love it deserves... Emily Browning is awesome, the premise is really cool and different and the visuals are over the top. I feel like people just hate on it because of the "fan service"
Similar to the Mission Impossible entry mentioned, the 2005 wushu sword epic The Seven Swords had a pretty sweet alleyway sword fight near its conclusion. Some amazing fight choreography involved, with the two duelists climbing up and down the height of an extremely cramped corridor, still swinging, stabbing and parrying at incredible speed.
I loved that Argyle scene more than most, but I'm surprised it made your first list of this category. I can think of dozens that are an improvement upon it. Even within Matthew Vaughn's back catalogue.
The opening car bomb scene from A Touch of Evil. The restaurant scene from Goodfellas. The opening nightclub scene, and also the swimming pool scene, from Boogie Nights. The gun battle car scene from Children of Men. The run through the battlefield trenches in 1917. All brilliantly executed, extended single-shot sequences that won't let you look away.
Best fights try John Wayne v. Victor McClaglan in "The Quiet Man" (1952) Sean Connery v. Robert Shaw in "From Russia With Love" (1963)v. the Uma Thurman v. the Samurai in "Kill Bill Vol1" (2003)
@@lukewright9031There’s a news report that plays faintly in the background during Butch’s segment when he goes back to get the watch. The news report says that the trophy from Jack Rabbit Slims dance contest was stolen last night, which would have been when Mia and Vincent took it.
Excuse me, but I thought y’all watched movies….I’ll agree with a couple but the most awesomely rewatchable scenes ever are 1. The tattoo scene in Jaws. 2. The scene in which Edward Ferrars tells Elinor Dashwood that no, he is not married at the end of Sense and Sensibility and 3 & 4. The WHOLE tollbooth scene through to the gun vs cannoli part and Michael’s first hit in the Godfather. I could add many more (Chinatown, Bringing up Baby, the Sixth Sense, Some Like it Hot, Fight Club, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory….). Sure we can argue- it’s a matter of taste- but not about Jaws.
Donnie Yen’s fight in Flash Point is easily the best hand to hand fight scene with no weapons. At the time the movie was made, MMA wasn’t in the lexicon of movie production. But Yen employs an amazing armbar long before bjj was mainstream.
Once upon a Time in the West.... Specifically the final duel between Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda Mad Max 2..... The climactic Chase scene Pulp fiction.... The whole sequence in the basement of the pawn shop Saving Private. Ryan.... The whole opening Omaha Beach sequence
Best fight scene ever? Big Country (Theme was sampled for 'The Only Rap That Bites') Charlton Heston and Gregory Peck walk into the desert, a long shot holds them until they just beat the shit out of each other
If you ever play resident evil 5 there is a fight scene between wesker and Chris and Sheva in the catacombs that is almost shot for shot the same fight
You showed a clip of the Kingsmen Church sequence when asking if you missed any scenes that should have been on this list. That was hilarious! Equally hilarious? The Matrix didn't even get a clip. Almost any fight/action sequence from that movie could have been on this list.
9:35 "Vincent and Mia boogie their way to a trophy with some truly groovy mooves"..... No they don't. They did not win the trophy, they stole the trophy.
As much as I love Pulp Fiction, that was a weak choice. Since my first was Oldboy was taken by another, I'll pitch the The Raid's Mad Dog vs Rama & Andi Fight Scene.
Run Lola Run is just amazing. Definitely watch if you haven't.
So satisfied with #1, love that movie so much. No CGI, no fight scenes, yet visually one of the most pleasing rewatches of all time
My favourite fight scene of the last few years, has to be the bus fight, from 'Nobody'. A side of the great Bob Odenkirk that few ever expected to see.

The fifth element opera fight scene is one of the best.
Nightcrawler White House break in from the beginning of X2 - brilliant!
Did I miss the church fight from Kingsmen?
@@shuttittuppitt9355Yes it was however, the music for the church fight was better!😎
Great fight! The Rasputin fight in The King’s Man was also worth the price of admission.
@@arikthenot-so-redasericthe1838 I really hope they would've used Rasputin by Boney M in that scene
@@linda10989 I agree. Maybe over the final credits, so as not to conflict with the time in which the movie was set.
I mean, it's was such an amazingly cut scene, not sure how you could have, especially seeing as it was Collin Firth!
You missed the mark with the Phantom Menace, the lightsaber duel is awesome, but the truly best scene in Star Wars is when the scene pauses and the 3 are separated by the red force fields. This scene is pure cinema.
Which is the same scene.
One scene I go back to over and over - including live audience reactions - is "on your left"/"Avengers Assemble" from Avengers: Endgame. I always wish I could go back and watch that for the first time again.
I love so many scenes from Everything Everywhere All at Once.
For most intense fight scenes, Jackie Chan better be the yardstick.
Greatest fight scenes: hammer fight in Oldboy, and Mickey Spillane's role as Mike Hammer in The Girl Hunters.
You took mine.
Humphrey Bogart and Tim Holt vs Barton MacLane in The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre (1948) would be one of my best fight scene picks.
By the way, nice pick of a Mike Hammer film(played by his own creator, no less!)
No. Greatest fight scene by far is They Live.
@@Miller54K That's definitely one of the best. And fun fact, John Carpenter has said that the They Live fight scene was inspired by the fight between John Wayne and Victor McLaglen in The Quiet Man (1952), directed by John Ford. That's another all-time great fight scene.
@@Miller54K Out of bubble gum?
Sucker Punch is criminally underrated with one of the best soundtracks
I agree. My favorite song is the cover of White Rabbit.
The spinning hotel room and hallway fight scene in Inception.
I think the thing that really elevates that scene into damn near supernatural is that it was an actual set piece, which is just nuts

Final fight scene between Hi and Leonard Smalls in Raising Arizona.
The white fight scene from Equilibrium is by far the BEST fight scene EVER! Christian Bale kicks butt with swords and guns. So cool!
The hospital shootout in Hard Boiled is always worth rewatching. It definitely deserves a spot on this list
Definitely! Also is several other gun fights in among others The Professional Killers 2. Those or that one are in a different level of fights, and definitely has a place in the best fight scene in movie history.
The early chase scene in Casino Royale. It was fast paced, entertaining, and felt like Bond coming alive again.
Two scenes I'll never forget:
The Mothership in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
I returned to the movie house 6 times just to rewatch the last 30 minutes.
The climactic 'suicide' jump/fall at the end of The Game. Yes, the movie is preposterous in it's plotting...but if you suspend your disbelief and just go with the flow, it's an intriguing mystery flick, and fun run, that gets clearer with each viewing.
Fishburne and Reeves in The Matrix
The ride of the Rohirrim. obviously.
5:52 “Uh, say no more.” 😂
Greatest fight to me is from “They Live” Nada vs. Frank
By far. It's not even a contest.
And it was completely improvised.
Best movie fight is either the sword duel between the Masked Man and Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride or the final fight between the Townsfolk, Railway Workers and LaMarr's thugs (which devolves into total chaos in Warner Brothers Studios.)
You missed:
The final attack on the Death Star in Star Wars.
Andy's escape from Shawshank.
The Battle of Helms Deep in LoTR: The Two Towers.
Colonel Jessup's witness box interrogation in A Few Good Men.
Omaha Beach, Saving Private Ryan.
Ramelle Bridge battle, Saving Private Ryan.
Final air battle in Top Gun.
Lobby Scene in The Matrix.
Atlanta Railyards in Gone With The Wind.
Sinking of the Titanic in Titanic.
The Final Boat Scene in Some Like It Hot.
The crucifixion scene in The Life of Brian.
The Time Warp in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Championship fight in Rocky.
Dr Rumer brings Striker into the cockpit in Airplane.
The Boar/Samurai attack on Iron Town in Princess Mononoke.
The Vader hallway scene from Rogue One. I'm a simple man.
Definitely.
The baby doll samurai is amazing with 2 steps from hell over it.
The soundtrack for that movie is awesome!
My favorite fight is still the Roddy Piper and Keith David They Live scene, fkn great 👍
my hot take will forever be that Sucker Punch is a masterpiece
‘Duel of the Fates’ has always been the name of the song.
Sucker Punch really doesn't get the love it deserves... Emily Browning is awesome, the premise is really cool and different and the visuals are over the top. I feel like people just hate on it because of the "fan service"
Best fight? Easy,
THEY LIVE !!!
The final fight from the 2001 Musketeer sticks in the mind.
Love your content guys ❤❤❤
The fight scene from They Live or Nick Frost's fight in the World's End.
Our very own crowned Joules would be proud of the use of his drawn out, stylized "baby"
Any Star Wars crawl intro. The score, those yellow letters and the space at the background, for some reason, are addictive.
Any prequel or OT. The sequel gave us "somehow Palpatine lived".
@@Miller54K Yeah, with those I just watch the crawls without reading.
For me it's probably the docking scene from Interstellar

Some amazing fight choreography involved, with the two duelists climbing up and down the height of an extremely cramped corridor, still swinging, stabbing and parrying at incredible speed.
Best fight "They Live"
The best sword fighting scene is from the Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
WhatCulture is the best! Upvote if you agree
And now we have the "I'm done running" line and then No Sleep till Brooklyn hallway fight scene from GOTG 3. I watch it every few days now
gotg3?

Sean Connery v. Robert Shaw in "From Russia With Love" (1963)v. the
Uma Thurman v. the Samurai in "Kill Bill Vol1" (2003)

The Bride vs. The Crazy 88 from Kill Bill

John Wick "Red Square or Circle" scene. Wick looking into the eye's of the man he just killed with the song "Think" playing! Perfection
Remember back when Sucker Punch was widely considered to be Zack Snyder's only bad film? Wild.
Once upon a Time in the West.... Specifically the final duel between Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda
Mad Max 2..... The climactic Chase scene
Pulp fiction.... The whole sequence in the basement of the pawn shop
Saving Private. Ryan.... The whole opening Omaha Beach sequence
My favorite rewatches are the foyer, highway AND Smith clone battles from Matrix Reloaded
I keep rewatching dream and Death collecting soul in Sandman.
Sorry but the V for Vendetta scene in the tunnel wins hands down for me.
How did you leave out either the warehouse fight from Batman vs Superman, or the bank scene from The Dark Knight?
The “You are tearing me apart, Lisa!” scene from The Room. Rewarchable for all the wrong reasons, but rewatchable nonetheless.
The greatest fight scene in any movie is the sword fight between Inigo Montoya and The Man in Black in The Princess Bride
Somome watched Sucker Punch? Even my friends at the time skipped the movie and we were all into stuff like that.
Best fight scene ever? Big Country (Theme was sampled for 'The Only Rap That Bites') Charlton Heston and Gregory Peck walk into the desert, a long shot holds them until they just beat the shit out of each other
Pram on the stairs scene in The Untouchables
1:53 Neo fighting all those Agent Smiths in The Matrix Reloaded.
Batman rescues Martha, from Batman vs Superman
It's sad that Sucker Punch wasn't popular. The story wasn't great but the fights was cool.
The samurai fight in Sucker Punch was excellent, but the Dragon air combat sequence was better. And it's not a scythe, it's a naginata.
The bank robbery and shootout in 'Heat'
I tink the corridor scene in Rogue One should replace the Duel of the fate in your top.
This is notably missing the 'Time in a Bottle' scene from X-Men Days of Future Past.
They Live. Roddy Piper vs. Keith David.
Metal detector gunfight, and subway fight in The Matrix.
Chris Redfield Claire Redfield and Alice Vs Albert Wesker Resident Evil Afterlife seen 50x last month saw It on the big screen the first time
If you ever play resident evil 5 there is a fight scene between wesker and Chris and Sheva in the catacombs that is almost shot for shot the same fight
Spider-man 2…Spidey vs Doc Ock on the subway. (The uncut version)
Been a long time since I bothered with Sucker Punch. Mainly the right scenes just all blend together in my recollection.
Roof top fight in Jackie Chan's "Who Am I"
sucker punch is Jacobs ladder ....minus the dying
Darth Maul was not a sith lord. He was a sith assassin. The rule of 2 didn't permit him to be a true sith lord.
How is the slaughterhouse rave from the first Blade movie missing?
Kingsman church fight scene. Nothing else comes close.
wow, all the way back to 1994
I'm surprised that the lobby shootout from The Matrix didn't make it...
There’s a theory that Mia and Vincent didn’t win the competition but stole the trophy…

The final fight in Highlander.
Damn I haven't seen Run Lola Run in ages
I rewatch Dragon scenes from GoT or HOTD when I'm alone. It's cool and my ears like the sounds they make. 😂
Paris wouldn't have remembered her name after having her head smashed into a brick wall. That scene pissed me off.
How you dare not to include the first scene from Batman the dark knight. The joker's bank robbery.
9:35 "Vincent and Mia boogie their way to a trophy with some truly groovy mooves"..... No they don't.
They did not win the trophy, they stole the trophy.
Loved Suckerpunch. Didnt see the others.
Yeah, without Gandalf arriving at Helms Deep and Ride of Rohirim at Minas Tirith this list is basically pointless
