Cannot believe when they discussed about the stunts they didn't mention Jackie chan. Hell, he even did that clocktower hanging thing. Jackie out-stunt all those mentions.
bruce1991 man, remember when he ran outside that building? There was no safety net. If he tripped, that was it. No more jackie chan. And he did that scene a few times. AT A FREAKING 45 ANGLE BUILDING!! The balls on the dude
I agree with Coy... Fassbender has been fantastic as magneto... probably besides ledger and jackman he has put in the best performances in superhero movies
Dan Heyl I'd rather have 2 well thought out points then a half dozen generic and subjective points. Points like "the writing was tighter" can be used to describe any movie
Quality vs quantity. Coy attempting to explain why Fassbender was varied and nuance was so bad. Hal on the other hand gave scene example and colorful descriptions to justify his opinion on Catwoman. Coy talks a lot but is all garbage and unsubstantiated opinions.
Dan Heyl JTE is so annoying for being that convinced of himself. Everytime someone votes against him, he looks to that person with a face like "what the hell are you sayin? I'm the best and you know it.". SO ANNOYING -_-
I think you're projecting lol he doesnt have that face to me. Besides, movie fights is about convincing and presenting the most factual, creative and passionate argument.
Sad Jackie Chan wasn't mentioned for best stunt, his stunt in Police Story 1 where he slides down the pole at the top of the shopping mall, through several lights, was insane.
Chris Evans(Captain America) Robert Downey Jr(Iron Man),Christopher Reeves(Superman), Jack Nicholson(Joker), Michael Fasbender(Magneto), James McAvoy(Professor X), Heath Ledger(Joker),Ian McKellen(Magneto);Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor); Michael Keaton (Batman);Terence Stamp (Zod);J.K Simmons (J Jonah Jameson)[those are from the back of my head].obs:those are performances that are so great they deserve to be noted but actually each year of this movies probably had better performances from normal movies so no oscars I think.
ever try not reading the comments until you watch the entire video? Its not difficult. Its a comments section, chances are someone is talking about something in the video. Its like reading a synopsis of a movie before going to see the movie in theaters. Your just spoiling it for yourself.
ivenstorm Amen. That scene when he's sliding down the side of that building was incredible. Not even to mention the actual fighting stunts he slam dunked. I remember one outtake where he gets nailed in the nuts with either a cement bag or a pole. That 1 vs 2 fight scene on the roof top in Who Am I (?) is my favorite of all time. The wooden shoes scene too.
Um...LOGAN. No question. Hugh Jackman gave a hella subtle, moving, mature, and realistic performance. There is seriously no way anyone could replace him as Wolvie. His conveying of pain is so raw and real and unforgiving.
Yeah, I totally agree. I've only seen it once, but the fact that he stops holding Laura's hand and goes to beat down the car mirror is brutal. It shows how losing this man that he once looked up to, found wise, was helpless and dead. Even when he's bringing back Xavier to rescue him after X-24 stabs him, when Logan tries to explain it wasn't him that killed Charles, it was emotional torture.
Aryav Desai Man the it wasn't me line was crushing! What a great movie, was wondering how it would be the second time and it just solidified my opinion of it as one of the best comic book movies by far!
The pain and anger part was the Death of his mother, and everything moving everywhere, killing the 2 guards when he was still a kid ... the scene with the satelite, Charles taught him to channel the medium point between rage & peace... there he was able to move the satelite thing. BUT, it was an awesome performance , and his face and emotions were just so great
Andy did coy wrong,he should have gotten the point for the second round,half kept repeating his argument and the only argument he had was that Michelle is hot....like wtf coy had the best argument
well, being hot is not such a strong argument, but he also poited out the transformation, from insecure, contained kind of nerd, to a powerful, secure sure of herself woman, super crazy, but that was the fun of it. And hell, she was pretty hot.
Let's be honest though. Of all the portrayals of superheroes there have been, the one that most deserved a nomination is Robert Downey Jr as the first Iron Man. If it weren't for that role, he never would have been nominated for Tropic Thunder, because he MADE the character Depp-Sparrow style.
I disagree. While RDJ's performance is great in Iron Man, it's not on the level of Jackman in Logan. Not only was X-Men pivotal in opening the door for modern comic book based films, but Jackman played the character for almost 20 years and he was ALWAYS great. RDJ is too, but Jackman gave it his all with Logan. If we ever get the Demon In A Bottle storyline, then RDJ could definitely give an Oscar worthy performance. And if we're talking past performances, I really feel like Bale is overlooked in TDK cause Heath stole the show. Bale's sense of desperation and hopelessness is so well done. He's also fantastic in Begins.
Hugh Jackman as Logan, Dafne Keen as Laura and Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier deserve an Oscar for their performances, and so does the film. Also, if anyone shouts "R-Rated movies can't win an Oscar", remember, Argo was R-Rated. Moonlight was R-Rated. Slumdog Millionaire was R-Rated. Hell, the first two Godfather movies were R-Rated. Most Oscar-winning movies have been R-Rated or so. Not all of them, but most of them.
Best stunt sequence is the opening scene of The Spy Who Loved Me A ski chase followed by a parachute of a cliff Sound's simple, but put into practice is a amazing Also it could have ended in tragedy as a ski clipped the stuntman's parachute, You can actually see it clip in the film
I don't think they could have used any of the arguments from that movie since it would be considered Spoiler, so it would be impossible for them to win using facts.
So I just really want to fangirl. I love Screen Junkies so much, honestly. I've been in serious trouble since I discovered your movie fights because I lose hours of productivity. I love movies and I love arguing in an intelligent passionate way which I find hard to do because people take arguments personally and none of my friends seem to understand why you'd want to argue with someone just for the fun of arguing. I love everything you guys do not just your movie fights (although they are my favourite). I'm going to add on a 'Screen Junkies changed my life'-esque sappy moment now: I'm a medical student in Nigeria and I watched screen junkies for the first time at about 2am at the Children's emergency when we had a lull during a night that involved me earlier trying to resuscitate this baby but ultimately losing the child (and that was the first death of a patient I ever really experienced). My friend and I were just sitting around and then we decided to go on TH-cam and we stumbled on your channel and we just became so invigorated and it really cheered us up (It was an honest trailer, I forget which). I honestly haven't been the same since. I love everything you guys do and I'm sure you already know it but I just wanted to tell you guys that you're bloody fantastic and honestly so great and you have all sorts of fans everywhere in the world so just keep at it.
Hugh Jackman or Patrick Stewart in Logan are worthy Oscar nominees IMO. Hugh for a lead actor and Patrick for supporting. Both their performances were amazing and so different from what they've done for their respective characters before.
Normally I'd say that the Academy wouldn't even consider it, but Jackman's performance is undeniably brilliant and legitimately worthy of a nomination. A win? Who knows. It's way too early to call, but I don't think he'll have a problem getting nominated. I think Logan will get a Best Picture nom too as long as they use all 10 slots. It's a brilliant piece of character-based storytelling. Even though the deck is stacked as of now with a slate of genius filmmakers like Sofia Coppola, Aronofsky, Garth Davis, Chris Nolan, Alexander Payne, Kathryn Bigelow, Aaron Sorkin, Woody Allen, Todd Haynes, Roman Polanski, and more, I think it'll be nominated. Jackman won't win for his performance, but it's not because he isn't awesome. Daniel Day-Lewis performing in the lead role of the best character-centric storyteller not named Scorsese...I would literally bet my house on him winning.
I still don't understand how Hal won the second fight. He literally said the same sentence like 100 fucking times in a row. I would've given it to Coy, for Magneto.
Why do people overlook James McAvoy's performance in Days Of Future Past? His performance gave me chills, especially in the scene with him and Patrick Stewart and in the end when he talks Ravin out of killing Trask. And now you can also put his performance in Split in there too, since it's technically a supervilian origin story.
Hugh Jackman in Logan!!! Oscar worthy performance!!! Dafne Keen was also amazing, for a child actor she was phenomenal!!! Both deserve Oscars and I'm being serious!
Coy KILLED his Magneto argument. He brought forth undeniably true points about both his performance and his interpretation of the character. Also, Fasbender was the one who set the tone for the entire movie.
Men, i swear, i'm starting to believe the conspiracy theory that this is all rigged, so that Dan can keep the belt. I don't think JTE should've even gotten to the speed round...
Roll & Move Reviews I feel like they don't even know what JTE says half the time cause I definitely don't. he mumbles over his words more than Andy. I guess mumblers understand mumblers lol
Mad Max Fury Road action scene was crazy and these guys were in pain during the Stallone question which was hilarious and by the way I love all 3 of those Stallone movies. Michael Fassbender was amazing as Magneto, you also say Doc Ock in Spiderman 2
Hugh Jackman's performance in "Logan" was amazing. He needs to get nominated for best actor. Even the movie itself should be nominated for best picture. It's a great movie!
+Tiger 2003 I think that this movie has some potential to be nominated. It is very emotional and has a serious tone. It isn't your average superhero movie where the good guys have to save the world from an all-mighty supervillain. And Jackman's performance was great in this movie
mazarik Mahuroof I just saw it again and WOW his performance really is layered. The moment where he breaks down at the funeral but is fighting his sadness, that's his Oscar moment right there!
I think this will make trick questions better: Let them pick a answer and let them explain why they picked that answer then u pop out a trick question. In this case they need to fight against their arguments. Now thats a tricky thing to do.
Best stunt sequence: the whole mall chase scene in Jackie Chan's Police Story from 1985. The sheer imagination, creativity, derring-do and physicality of Jackie and his stunt team was crystallized in that mall scene, culminating in Jackie sliding down pole 4 storeys high that was covered in actual live Christmas lights. Heck, that whole movie could've provided a top ten list by itself. Arguably, Jackie Chan at his best.
1. Adventures of Pete and Pete 2. Bruce Willis in Unbreakable 3. The standee in Last Action Hero 4. Jackie Chan in Who Am I - a better building scene than the MI one 5. David Fincher (script by Sorkin) S1. Sola Horn. Tie it to the X-Wing novels S2 Serenity S3 Major League S4 Deadpool vs Gwenpool S5 Time Code. Focus on each screen one time through.
FernandoFlynn I have a conspiracy that Andy won't let coy win because he knows he can beat Dan ,look at all the movie fights coy has been in where the belt is on the line,Andy never let's him win,but when it's just a regular fight Andy let's coy win
Best stunt: Props to JTE for fighting for Buster Keaton, wich is by the way the biggest inspiration to George Miller for Mad Max Fury Road (he said that in an interview).
Coy was robbed with the BvS question, mostly because (and I"m surprised nobody pointed it out) JTE's rebuttals were all completely false... as was half of his argument. He says Loki was a jokester while Dr. Strange was a 'no-comedy kind of guy' (there was a whole sub-plot about Strange trying to make Wong laugh)... and the "Spider Man and Venom's powers are identical" is completely wrong as well... the symbiote mimics the spider-man powers, but it basically acts like a Spawn cape, forming prehensile tendrils, spikes, blunt objects, etc. Also, the only thing I don't like about Move Fights is how often Andy is completely in the wrong, is voted against 3-1, and then just says "Yeah well it's my show and I don't like Venom so I'm gonna let the other guy win." Fringe benefit of being the boss, but it gets extremely annoying for everyone at home screaming at their computers.
After watching the Buster Keaton stunt, HELL NO I'm not doing that. But the best stunt is Jackie Chan in Police Story falling down that pole in the mall. It just checks all the boxes for great stunt. It's insanely dangerous. It's visually stunning. It even serves as the climax to the movie because that's how he catches the bad guy. It just makes you go "Holy shit, did I just see that!?"
Alfred Molina in Spider Man 2. His performance was believable, and subtly nuanced. I believed him, and he was Marvel's best villain, before Loki came along
Spiderman 2 is my favorite superhero movie of all time. I believe it gets everything right in a Spiderman movie. And Molina's performance was just a cherry on top.
Considering all of the Marvel adaptations, since the first comment included Raimi's Spiderman: Willem Dafoe's Goblin, which was extremely camp and extremely awesome. D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk, which was a Golden Globe-worthy performance and a compelling character with clear motivations and a well rounded arch. Both version of Magneto, which is a great case of well-intentioned extremist. Even The sandman in spiderman 3 was great, even though they used him sparingly. And I have a soft spot for Tim Roth's Abomination (though I'm not sure if it's better). I think Loki is just good enough for his films, and possibly the best only in the mcu, which is not saying much considering the lack of great bad guys. He's so beloved because there isn't much else in the series.
Coy does a good job of taking modern movies and giving them merit against some classics in film. Whether you agree with his points, you gotta give his determination in defending his choice some mad respect.
1. Twin Peaks directed by Yorgos Lanthimos 2. None but if I had to pick one Christian Bale in Batman Begins 3. Rocky 4. Gotta be Tom Cruise on the Burj Khalifa 5. If anyone ever remakes Jaws, someone is getting hurt. But the best man for the job? Robert Eggers, because I'd want a fresh new take on it with a fresh tone, not a carbon copy remake SR1. Han Solo. If they change it I will hate Disney forever. SR2. Millennium Falcon SR3. Jungle Fever SR4. Honestly I don't care enough about superhero movies to answer this SR5. Drive
Can whoever's breathing heavily into the mic stop breathing heavily into the mic or get muted in the meantime? There's gotta be separate audio tracks from each mic, right?
While McKellan is great as villain Magneto, he's not the sympathetic character that Fassbender brings to the role. A lot of that is just the script as he's primarily just villain for McKellan's time as Magneto while Fassbender gets to show the struggle between being Charles' friend and seeing the hatred humanity can have towards others.
McKellen is a great actor, noone can argue that, Fassbender gets a lot more range as an actor to chew on (and probably screentime overall) that gives him more of an opportunity to display a multidimensional character who portrays a range of emotions and different character motivations at different times. Obviously though Ian McKellen definitely set the platform for the character and if we think of all his portrayals as Magneto over mutliple movies he more than showcases his talents too.
Frustrating that the judges ignored the fact the Venom was Flash Thompson version, NOT Eddie Brock, so JTE's comments about the appearance Venom's face was null and void.
Logan wasn't boring enough to win an oscar. If entertaining popular movies started winning oscars, then loser idiots could no longer pretend to be smart by deluding themselves with a false sense of sophistication.
Well I guess your gonna have a beserker fury then, the oscars don't care about movies that come out before Autumn apart from a few exceptions every few years
Jackman should already be locked in for a best actor spot. If other performances come later that are better (doubtful) then knock him off. But so far, he's the best performance of 2017
Uh??? JK SIMMONS?? As J. Jonah Jamison in Spiderman??? The Oscars and fans should love him! The fans because he was perfect! And the Oscars because they both hate Superheroes!!
Hearing Hal talk about the Jaws remake, felt like I was in high school again. It felt like that on student, picked from a bunch, to stand up and answer professor's question he didn't know anything about.
Point Break (2015) had some pretty great stunts. When they climbed Angel Falls, I had to look it up because I thought it had to be CG but it looked so real.
JTE was by far the weakest in the Stallone fight. Not finished watching yet but early feelings are that Andy is trying his hardest to keep Coy out of a potential title fight.
Before seeing winner: Nerd card, hand it over judge. Check yourself on Superpower Wiki for Venom. What you took as an edge was wrong. Like, a lie, wrong. The Symbiotes could have it's own series of movies.
Great episode guys. Terrific job to the fighters (all three of these guys are always great) and Andy really stepped it up in the judges chair today. Cracking work.
Hal kept talking about bookish to sexual, and repeating and repeating and repeating, only Coy made sense the entire second round...how did he lose that round?
Round 1-Murder she wrote 2-Aaron Eckhart in The Dark Knight 3-Creed 4-The Truck chase from Raiders 5-ok, first of all nOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! But ok, Frank Darabont
I'd have to watch First Class again to remind myself. Maybe Fassbender does deserve it--I don't remember. However, Pfeiffer kicked the absolute shit out of her role and most of the movie around her really lets her down. She's pretty amazing, sadly overlooked. And Jack was great for just being Jack, but it's not anything Oscar-caliber.
as far as stunt sequence, my pick is in between jackie chan's who am i ( the 80 story building's rooftop scene, and the stairway sequance in tony jaa's on bak 1 (the 6 story stairway mortal kombat sequance). the reason being is that they used no safety mesures and they were full contact real action. jackie came out with actual injuries same with tony and yet the sequences were sick.
Cannot believe when they discussed about the stunts they didn't mention Jackie chan.
Hell, he even did that clocktower hanging thing. Jackie out-stunt all those mentions.
bruce1991 man, remember when he ran outside that building? There was no safety net. If he tripped, that was it. No more jackie chan. And he did that scene a few times. AT A FREAKING 45 ANGLE BUILDING!!
The balls on the dude
Doesn't matter. When you talk about stunts, actor or sequence you got to mention Jackie.
I actually live in the city where the stunt was performed!
Glad you brought up Jackie Chan because I even forgot about him, the guy is the king of the stunts.
Jackie Chan is a stunt. I bet he cartwheels up downward escalators.
Hal saying "Yasss Queen Yasss..." is probably the best thing I have seen from Movie Fights in a looooong time LOL
I agree with Coy... Fassbender has been fantastic as magneto... probably besides ledger and jackman he has put in the best performances in superhero movies
TheFlickinCritic agree 100%
TheFlickinCritic still thinks that michael keaton and the guy that played the comedian were better. Their choices were too safe and boring
Movie Fights has been killin it this month. The blend of comedy, knowledge, and passion is what makes this show great.

interesting choices:)
This past month SJ has put some very fun and different types of Movie Fights, props to them for that.
Coy: Rapidly throws out half-a-dozen points in 30 seconds.
JTE: Awkwardly stumbles through two points in 30 seconds.
Andy: I heard more from JTE!
Dan Heyl thank you lol
Dan Heyl I'd rather have 2 well thought out points then a half dozen generic and subjective points. Points like "the writing was tighter" can be used to describe any movie
Quality vs quantity. Coy attempting to explain why Fassbender was varied and nuance was so bad. Hal on the other hand gave scene example and colorful descriptions to justify his opinion on Catwoman. Coy talks a lot but is all garbage and unsubstantiated opinions.
Dan Heyl JTE is so annoying for being that convinced of himself. Everytime someone votes against him, he looks to that person with a face like "what the hell are you sayin? I'm the best and you know it.". SO ANNOYING -_-
I think you're projecting lol he doesnt have that face to me. Besides, movie fights is about convincing and presenting the most factual, creative and passionate argument.
has coy ever considered a rap career?
Sad Jackie Chan wasn't mentioned for best stunt, his stunt in Police Story 1 where he slides down the pole at the top of the shopping mall, through several lights, was insane.
Sugami Sorry but after reading this comment I went and watched the stunt... That stunt sucked, he basically slid down a fireman's pole smh..
Daniel Hooper he got a lot of injuries from that stunt. He's a daredevil
Chris Evans(Captain America) Robert Downey Jr(Iron Man),Christopher Reeves(Superman), Jack Nicholson(Joker), Michael Fasbender(Magneto), James McAvoy(Professor X), Heath Ledger(Joker),Ian McKellen(Magneto);Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor); Michael Keaton (Batman);Terence Stamp (Zod);J.K Simmons (J Jonah Jameson)[those are from the back of my head].obs:those are performances that are so great they deserve to be noted but actually each year of this movies probably had better performances from normal movies so no oscars I think.

Oscars 2018:
And the academy award for best supporting actor goes to..
Patrick Stewart.
Yes. His performance in the emoji movie as Poop is flawless as you can tell from the trailers. The academy won’t need to think hard on this one
talks greatest movie stunts, doesn't mention Jackie Chan in any of the 3...... something wrong with that picture.
ivenstorm yes! Was going to post this
Thanks for the comment. I almost watched the video.
ever try not reading the comments until you watch the entire video? Its not difficult. Its a comments section, chances are someone is talking about something in the video. Its like reading a synopsis of a movie before going to see the movie in theaters. Your just spoiling it for yourself.
ivenstorm Amen. That scene when he's sliding down the side of that building was incredible. Not even to mention the actual fighting stunts he slam dunked. I remember one outtake where he gets nailed in the nuts with either a cement bag or a pole. That 1 vs 2 fight scene on the roof top in Who Am I (?) is my favorite of all time. The wooden shoes scene too.
or where he slipped through a bank teller cage, or even when he jumped and slid down the giant banner in Rush Hour, so many movies, so many memories.
Um...LOGAN. No question. Hugh Jackman gave a hella subtle, moving, mature, and realistic performance. There is seriously no way anyone could replace him as Wolvie. His conveying of pain is so raw and real and unforgiving.
Aryav Desai Man you really are right, I just saw it again and wow his subtle moments crush you when you see it a second time. That funeral scene..
cforbes54 do you mean the one at the beginning or where he buries Charles?
Aryav Desai The one when he buries Charles and is fighting back his tears, really got me the second time I saw it!
Yeah, I totally agree. I've only seen it once, but the fact that he stops holding Laura's hand and goes to beat down the car mirror is brutal. It shows how losing this man that he once looked up to, found wise, was helpless and dead. Even when he's bringing back Xavier to rescue him after X-24 stabs him, when Logan tries to explain it wasn't him that killed Charles, it was emotional torture.
Aryav Desai Man the it wasn't me line was crushing! What a great movie, was wondering how it would be the second time and it just solidified my opinion of it as one of the best comic book movies by far!

the scene with the satelite, Charles taught him to channel the medium point between rage & peace... there he was able to move the satelite thing. BUT, it was an awesome performance , and his face and emotions were just so great
Gary Oldman from the Dark Knight deserved a nomination
Wow people. The beauty of Walker the Texas Ranger is it's obliviousness. Turning it into a straight comedy is exactly the wrong idea.
Coy was Robbed in Oscars round.
Absolutely killed it with Fassbender argument.
Agreed
coy looks a little fassebender with hair
Have you seen batman returns
Coy was also robbed in the super hero vs super hero round. o.e
I disagree about Fassbender being an Oscar nominee, but Coy really sold me on his argument
I'm still waiting for PATTON OSWALT to show up on the show! Come on SJ! Make it happen! I'm beggin on every episode for a year now!!!
Andy did coy wrong,he should have gotten the point for the second round,half kept repeating his argument and the only argument he had was that Michelle is hot....like wtf coy had the best argument
well, being hot is not such a strong argument, but he also poited out the transformation, from insecure, contained kind of nerd, to a powerful, secure sure of herself woman, super crazy, but that was the fun of it. And hell, she was pretty hot.
Going through and rewatching all of these years later, still love them. I wish you guys would do some more, maybe once a quarter?
Hugh Jackman deserves an Oscar for the role that started it all. His performance in Logan is one of the most REAL performances I've ever seen
Alex Love Patrick Stewart also. I may think he was better than Hugh in that movie
you must now a lot of screamy people
Let's be honest though. Of all the portrayals of superheroes there have been, the one that most deserved a nomination is Robert Downey Jr as the first Iron Man. If it weren't for that role, he never would have been nominated for Tropic Thunder, because he MADE the character Depp-Sparrow style.
I disagree. While RDJ's performance is great in Iron Man, it's not on the level of Jackman in Logan. Not only was X-Men pivotal in opening the door for modern comic book based films, but Jackman played the character for almost 20 years and he was ALWAYS great.
RDJ is too, but Jackman gave it his all with Logan. If we ever get the Demon In A Bottle storyline, then RDJ could definitely give an Oscar worthy performance.
And if we're talking past performances, I really feel like Bale is overlooked in TDK cause Heath stole the show. Bale's sense of desperation and hopelessness is so well done. He's also fantastic in Begins.
Absolutely agreed Alex. Jackman brought every bit of pain, heart, and care possible to bring the best out of one of my favorite characters of all time
Hugh Jackman as Logan, Dafne Keen as Laura and Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier deserve an Oscar for their performances, and so does the film.
Also, if anyone shouts "R-Rated movies can't win an Oscar", remember, Argo was R-Rated. Moonlight was R-Rated. Slumdog Millionaire was R-Rated. Hell, the first two Godfather movies were R-Rated. Most Oscar-winning movies have been R-Rated or so. Not all of them, but most of them.
48:57 For the perfect gif material
Jeremy Hastings without sound it looks really weird
Jeremy Hastings I
Best stunt sequence is the opening scene of The Spy Who Loved Me
A ski chase followed by a parachute of a cliff
Sound's simple, but put into practice is a amazing
Also it could have ended in tragedy as a ski clipped the stuntman's parachute,
You can actually see it clip in the film
lookin at the Title Hugh Jackman in Logan and Patrick Stewart deserve it
JaxBlade and Ian McKellan in any of the other Xmen movies
yo Jax, nice to see another Toastie here. Also, 100% agree with Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart deserving the oscar.
I don't think they could have used any of the arguments from that movie since it would be considered Spoiler, so it would be impossible for them to win using facts.
Filip Orvik They did not use it because they might still win Oscars. It was released this year ;)
JaxBlade just Patrick Stewart deserves it. Just like in Star Trek:TNG his acting made the X-Men universe a respectable art.
As a non-native English speaker I almost felt proud I could understand what Coy was saying during the speed round xD
Good episode ;)
Michael Fassbender as magneto in first class, Hugh jackman in Logan
So I just really want to fangirl.
I love Screen Junkies so much, honestly. I've been in serious trouble since I discovered your movie fights because I lose hours of productivity.

Hal's arms are just a different level of hairy. They look like they are mid werewolf transformation.
Hugh Jackman or Patrick Stewart in Logan are worthy Oscar nominees IMO. Hugh for a lead actor and Patrick for supporting. Both their performances were amazing and so different from what they've done for their respective characters before.
Jackie Earle Haley deserves an Oscar for his Rorschach performance it was perfect 100%
SILVER Bro it was too over the top I think
SILVER Bro
"I'm not stuck in here with you. YOU'RE STUCK IN HERE WITH ME."
Love how Hal said box office didnt matter but then when Stallone questions comes in he suddently says it had less box office money LOL
Normally I'd say that the Academy wouldn't even consider it, but Jackman's performance is undeniably brilliant and legitimately worthy of a nomination. A win? Who knows. It's way too early to call, but I don't think he'll have a problem getting nominated. I think Logan will get a Best Picture nom too as long as they use all 10 slots.

Daniel Day-Lewis performing in the lead role of the best character-centric storyteller not named Scorsese...I would literally bet my house on him winning.
I still don't understand how Hal won the second fight. He literally said the same sentence like 100 fucking times in a row. I would've given it to Coy, for Magneto.
Jackie Earle Haley as Rorscach in Watchmen. He SO underrated and one of greatest superhero performances of all time and totally deserved an Oscar.
Why do people overlook James McAvoy's performance in Days Of Future Past? His performance gave me chills, especially in the scene with him and Patrick Stewart and in the end when he talks Ravin out of killing Trask. And now you can also put his performance in Split in there too, since it's technically a supervilian origin story.
Hugh Jackman in Logan!!! Oscar worthy performance!!! Dafne Keen was also amazing, for a child actor she was phenomenal!!! Both deserve Oscars and I'm being serious!
WannabeDutchie Also Patrick Stewart
The question was ''what SH performance(that DIDN'T win one) deservED an oscar'. Hugh can still get one, Logan is a 2017 movie...
Coy KILLED his Magneto argument. He brought forth undeniably true points about both his performance and his interpretation of the character. Also, Fasbender was the one who set the tone for the entire movie.
JTE says that Dr. Strange and Loki have similar powers, then wins the argument by saying Spider-Man and Venom have similar powers? #huh?
Also, Andy needs to decide if the Speed Round is majority vote or not...playing favorites for JTE.
Men, i swear, i'm starting to believe the conspiracy theory that this is all rigged, so that Dan can keep the belt. I don't think JTE should've even gotten to the speed round...
Yeah I didn't think he deserved either of the points he got.
Roll & Move Reviews I feel like they don't even know what JTE says half the time cause I definitely don't. he mumbles over his words more than Andy. I guess mumblers understand mumblers lol
Mad Max Fury Road action scene was crazy and these guys were in pain during the Stallone question which was hilarious and by the way I love all 3 of those Stallone movies. Michael Fassbender was amazing as Magneto, you also say Doc Ock in Spiderman 2
I loved Talisa Soto in Vampirella (1996). I know, i'm the only one in the world with this
Sign that Andy's pulling a trick question:
He tells the fighters to only reveal their choice
Hugh Jackman's performance in "Logan" was amazing. He needs to get nominated for best actor. Even the movie itself should be nominated for best picture. It's a great movie!
logan is not even close to be nominated to best picture or best actor. maybe best visual effects or costume design, but nothing else
+Tiger 2003 I think that this movie has some potential to be nominated. It is very emotional and has a serious tone. It isn't your average superhero movie where the good guys have to save the world from an all-mighty supervillain. And Jackman's performance was great in this movie
Lets wait till the years over before we say who should and shouldn't get nominations.
not for Logan but Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in all the X-Men movies deserves an oscar.
mazarik Mahuroof I just saw it again and WOW his performance really is layered. The moment where he breaks down at the funeral but is fighting his sadness, that's his Oscar moment right there!
I think this will make trick questions better: Let them pick a answer and let them explain why they picked that answer then u pop out a trick question. In this case they need to fight against their arguments. Now thats a tricky thing to do.
I love Coy's intensity when imitating Magneto. He's such a good fighter.
Wouldnt the Flash Thompson version be Agent Venom or Anti Venom though, not just "Venom"?
JTE - *PLEASE* stop breathing into the mic while others are talking XD I am only 2 rounds in and it is driving me CRAZY!! XD
Veggie Gamer I can hear you Josh....
Damn i never saw the Nicholas Cage Batman documentary, this guy has next level movie skills
Where is the I'm always on TH-cam so I don't need notifications squad at?
I also have no life.
Paul Grant same
Piyush choudhary I'm either on TH-cam, Netflix, or Twitch
Piyush choudhary Oh yeah, that's me too lol
Joshua McLeod me too 😊😊😊
I love how they are all so uncomfortable talking shit about stallones masterpieces.
Yes ! Those are good fighters !
Best stunt sequence: the whole mall chase scene in Jackie Chan's Police Story from 1985. The sheer imagination, creativity, derring-do and physicality of Jackie and his stunt team was crystallized in that mall scene, culminating in Jackie sliding down pole 4 storeys high that was covered in actual live Christmas lights.
Heck, that whole movie could've provided a top ten list by itself. Arguably, Jackie Chan at his best.
These days I really appreciate Hal's presence in these fights. He brings such an energy to the table, and is enjoyable and hilarious overall.
1. Adventures of Pete and Pete
2. Bruce Willis in Unbreakable
3. The standee in Last Action Hero
4. Jackie Chan in Who Am I - a better building scene than the MI one
5. David Fincher (script by Sorkin)
S1. Sola Horn. Tie it to the X-Wing novels
S2 Serenity
S3 Major League
S4 Deadpool vs Gwenpool
S5 Time Code. Focus on each screen one time through.
Andy didn't want Coy to beat Dan...
I love watching the pros at work. Screen Junkies, thank you for getting the "old veterans" back
1:47:00 Coy was robbed!!! #JusticeForCoy
FernandoFlynn I have a conspiracy that Andy won't let coy win because he knows he can beat Dan ,look at all the movie fights coy has been in where the belt is on the line,Andy never let's him win,but when it's just a regular fight Andy let's coy win
dun dun dunnnn
That makes sense. Coy is one of the best fighters on the show, much better than JTE, I couldn't believe he lost this one.
Best stunt:
Props to JTE for fighting for Buster Keaton, wich is by the way the biggest inspiration to George Miller for Mad Max Fury Road (he said that in an interview).
Coy was robbed with the BvS question, mostly because (and I"m surprised nobody pointed it out) JTE's rebuttals were all completely false... as was half of his argument. He says Loki was a jokester while Dr. Strange was a 'no-comedy kind of guy' (there was a whole sub-plot about Strange trying to make Wong laugh)... and the "Spider Man and Venom's powers are identical" is completely wrong as well... the symbiote mimics the spider-man powers, but it basically acts like a Spawn cape, forming prehensile tendrils, spikes, blunt objects, etc.
Also, the only thing I don't like about Move Fights is how often Andy is completely in the wrong, is voted against 3-1, and then just says "Yeah well it's my show and I don't like Venom so I'm gonna let the other guy win." Fringe benefit of being the boss, but it gets extremely annoying for everyone at home screaming at their computers.
After watching the Buster Keaton stunt, HELL NO I'm not doing that. But the best stunt is Jackie Chan in Police Story falling down that pole in the mall. It just checks all the boxes for great stunt. It's insanely dangerous. It's visually stunning. It even serves as the climax to the movie because that's how he catches the bad guy. It just makes you go "Holy shit, did I just see that!?"
Alfred Molina in Spider Man 2. His performance was believable, and subtly nuanced. I believed him, and he was Marvel's best villain, before Loki came along
Spiderman 2 is my favorite superhero movie of all time. I believe it gets everything right in a Spiderman movie. And Molina's performance was just a cherry on top.
I lost you after you said Loki is the best marvel villain. Hugely overrated
Maybe a question of taste, but it's a little goofy for me...
The Italian Snob Who do you think is better than Loki besides Molina then?
Considering all of the Marvel adaptations, since the first comment included Raimi's Spiderman:
Willem Dafoe's Goblin, which was extremely camp and extremely awesome.
D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk, which was a Golden Globe-worthy performance and a compelling character with clear motivations and a well rounded arch.
Both version of Magneto, which is a great case of well-intentioned extremist.
Even The sandman in spiderman 3 was great, even though they used him sparingly.
And I have a soft spot for Tim Roth's Abomination (though I'm not sure if it's better).
I think Loki is just good enough for his films, and possibly the best only in the mcu, which is not saying much considering the lack of great bad guys. He's so beloved because there isn't much else in the series.
Best stunt 'Restaurant scene' from 'Warrior King (The Protector)
4 minute fight scene all done in one take.
Coy does a good job of taking modern movies and giving them merit against some classics in film. Whether you agree with his points, you gotta give his determination in defending his choice some mad respect.
I enjoy seeing new faces on Movie Fights, but there is no greater joy when watching Movie Fights than to see three familiar competitors.
Those trick questions are brutal.
1. Twin Peaks directed by Yorgos Lanthimos
2. None but if I had to pick one Christian Bale in Batman Begins
3. Rocky
4. Gotta be Tom Cruise on the Burj Khalifa
5. If anyone ever remakes Jaws, someone is getting hurt. But the best man for the job? Robert Eggers, because I'd want a fresh new take on it with a fresh tone, not a carbon copy remake
SR1. Han Solo. If they change it I will hate Disney forever.
SR2. Millennium Falcon
SR3. Jungle Fever
SR4. Honestly I don't care enough about superhero movies to answer this
SR5. Drive
Can whoever's breathing heavily into the mic stop breathing heavily into the mic or get muted in the meantime? There's gotta be separate audio tracks from each mic, right?
hal you are one of my favorite fighters, you add a level of humor that alot of other fighters lack.
How the hell did none of them choose Ian McKellan as Magneto?
David Mitchell-Baker because Fassbender absolutely killed it in Days of future past and Apocalypse.
i know. Fassbender was great, but Mckellan was better.
While McKellan is great as villain Magneto, he's not the sympathetic character that Fassbender brings to the role. A lot of that is just the script as he's primarily just villain for McKellan's time as Magneto while Fassbender gets to show the struggle between being Charles' friend and seeing the hatred humanity can have towards others.
carlsiouxfalls agreed, people who prefer ian McKellen magneto just prefer him because of the nostalgia feelings. Fassbender all the way
McKellen is a great actor, noone can argue that, Fassbender gets a lot more range as an actor to chew on (and probably screentime overall) that gives him more of an opportunity to display a multidimensional character who portrays a range of emotions and different character motivations at different times.
Obviously though Ian McKellen definitely set the platform for the character and if we think of all his portrayals as Magneto over mutliple movies he more than showcases his talents too.
Frustrating that the judges ignored the fact the Venom was Flash Thompson version, NOT Eddie Brock, so JTE's comments about the appearance Venom's face was null and void.
I would trade JTE for Joe Starr. That would be the best movie fight
Kuba Franczuk new drinking game. Every time joe starr makes a comment about how he's attracted to men, take a shot
I just wrote a 5 page essay about the polecats sequence for a film class. Pure cinematic brilliance
If Logan doesn't get an Oscar this year, I'm gonna have a berserker fury.
I know it's only march but Hugh should get nominated and James mangold for directing
Logan wasn't boring enough to win an oscar. If entertaining popular movies started winning oscars, then loser idiots could no longer pretend to be smart by deluding themselves with a false sense of sophistication.
Well I guess your gonna have a beserker fury then, the oscars don't care about movies that come out before Autumn apart from a few exceptions every few years
Jackman should already be locked in for a best actor spot. If other performances come later that are better (doubtful) then knock him off. But so far, he's the best performance of 2017
Takatora Toudou it's biggest issue is that it came out SO early. Even summer movies are often forgotten by Oscars time
Wow! Now I need to see Stallone playing in Bernie Sanders biopic! Great fights!
Uh??? JK SIMMONS?? As J. Jonah Jamison in Spiderman??? The Oscars and fans should love him! The fans because he was perfect! And the Oscars because they both hate Superheroes!!
Coy's argument for Michael Fassbender is something I've been preaching for years, and the fan that said Rorschach for that round is amazing
Oh wow... the Trick Question was amazing... XD
This might not count because it came out this year, but I would nominate Patrick Stewart for best-supporting actor for Logan
I'm still salty that Scott won when Rocca was far superior in his arguments
jack hawley true
jack hawley me too.
1. I was born in the 90s
2. Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man
3. Rocky Balboa in Creed
4. Plane scene from Rogue Nation
5. James Wan
logan.period
Hearing Hal talk about the Jaws remake, felt like I was in high school again.
It felt like that on student, picked from a bunch, to stand up and answer professor's question he didn't know anything about.
Logan
The Gaming Maniac This was performances that did not win an award but deserved it. We'll see in a year if Logan gets an award.
Point Break (2015) had some pretty great stunts. When they climbed Angel Falls, I had to look it up because I thought it had to be CG but it looked so real.
JTE needs to grow a beard. It would really help his heel persona.
Paul Grant Don't know if it would fit him
Paul Grant He probably can't.
"Haley Joel Osment will be playing the deputy to Wacker Talks Us Ranger" - JTE ^_^
How about JTE learns not to breathe into the freaking mic?
Jaws wasn't Spielberg's first movie. He made an excellent movie "Duel" in 1971, which was his feature debut.
JTE was by far the weakest in the Stallone fight. Not finished watching yet but early feelings are that Andy is trying his hardest to keep Coy out of a potential title fight.
Just finished. Coy demolished JTE throughout the speed rounds, yet lost. Go figure.
The Rule of Two Hal by far should've won the Stallone one...
Before seeing winner: Nerd card, hand it over judge.
Check yourself on Superpower Wiki for Venom. What you took as an edge was wrong. Like, a lie, wrong. The Symbiotes could have it's own series of movies.
I like all 3 fighters.
Great episode guys. Terrific job to the fighters (all three of these guys are always great) and Andy really stepped it up in the judges chair today. Cracking work.
Hal kept talking about bookish to sexual, and repeating and repeating and repeating, only Coy made sense the entire second round...how did he lose that round?
Round 1-Murder she wrote
2-Aaron Eckhart in The Dark Knight
3-Creed
4-The Truck chase from Raiders
5-ok, first of all nOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! But ok, Frank Darabont
Michael Fassbender was Fucking Amazing as Magneto.
Michelle and Jack were......Fine??
Academy Award for those performance? Absolutely Not!
Shreyas CFC right olus Hal's only argent was that Michelle was hot...coy was robbed
Shreyas CFC Jack Nicholson was "Fine??" in Batman? Nope, he was pretty goddamn great in it.
I'd have to watch First Class again to remind myself. Maybe Fassbender does deserve it--I don't remember.
However, Pfeiffer kicked the absolute shit out of her role and most of the movie around her really lets her down. She's pretty amazing, sadly overlooked. And Jack was great for just being Jack, but it's not anything Oscar-caliber.
Jack was great. Ledger was great as well. Both are amazing in their own way, they can't really be compared.
Ron Pearlman as Hellboy is an amazing performance because I don't think any one else could play that character like he did twice.
who is up for Coy vs max landis rap fight? :P
as far as stunt sequence, my pick is in between jackie chan's who am i ( the 80 story building's rooftop scene, and the stairway sequance in tony jaa's on bak 1 (the 6 story stairway mortal kombat sequance). the reason being is that they used no safety mesures and they were full contact real action. jackie came out with actual injuries same with tony and yet the sequences were sick.
