15 Best Fight Scenes In Movie History
Moviegoers, especially fans of the action genre, can’t get enough of fight scenes, which give us heated vibes. Given that, directors and actors tend to work at full throttle to make amazing combat scenes that float the viewer's boat, which requires creativity, patience, and even scarification of stars who involve in the scene.
So far, the number of great fight scenes from action Movies has been countless. Most of them are marvelous and meticulous, leaving a huge impact on audiences. James Bond’s fight scenes are a great example that rocked the world of cinema, and also amped up the emotion of viewers.
Along with James Bond, we’ve compiled 15 top-notch fight scenes in movie history. From Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) with the elevator fight scene to the hallway fight part of Oldboy (2003), that’s really worth a shot. Keep scrolling down and check out the best fight scenes in movie history!
Neo is able to embrace the impossibilities of this universe for an exciting battle when he encounters the invincible Agent Smith. It incorporates wirework into contemporary action films and mixes the grounded and stylized choreography of kung-fu flicks.
This scene is so catching that Cap finds himself surrounded by opponents who he mistakenly believed to be his pals. But he doesn't back down from the challenge, and in the crowded, disorderly brawl, he kills them all.
Thanks to Terence Young's mastery of tension and Sean Connery's believable depiction of a Bond who is fearful for his life despite his suit of narrative armor, this brutally violent episode still has the power to astound spectators more than fifty years later.
With the exception of when Oh Dae-su is stabbed, the crew nailed this scene in 17 takes over the course of three days (Choi Min-sik was committed to the role, but not enough to take an actual knife in his back).
Carpenter was so impressed that he decided to leave the full battle in the picture, which runs for five and a half minutes, uncut. The fight was only scheduled to continue for 20 seconds, but Piper and David opted to fight for real on the day.
One of the better examples of this is The Legend of the Drunken Master, as evidenced by the comical market brawl. Chan takes on a band of bad guys while getting more inebriated, making him both a tough and a buffoon.
Nikolai, however, fights back as the Chechens attack him with linoleum knives. Despite being repeatedly stabbed and narrowly escaping death, he kills both of them, foiling Semyon's schemes.
The Manson murderers go to Rick Dalton's house next door instead of killing Sharon Tate and her pals because Cliff Booth and his pitbull Brandy serve some quick vigilante justice to the tune of Vanilla Fudge's "You Keep Me Hangin' On."
The Bride, armed only with a sword, slices stunningly bloodily her way through the Crazy 88 gang. Although it is undoubtedly over the top, Tarantino's action direction and the stunt performers are incredibly talented.
The film's high point is the confrontation between Yu Shu Lien, played by Michelle Yeoh, and Jen Yu, played by Zhang Ziyi. Lien constantly changes up his arsenal in an effort to match Yu's Green Destiny sword's accuracy. The two exchanged physical and verbal punches throughout the altercation.
After a few rounds, both Rocky and Apollo are worn out. Rocky only succeeds because he is (barely) still standing when Apollo collapses from weariness. His knockout triumph is the result of his unwavering resolve and tenacity.
The suspect surprised Ethan Hunt and Walker by having far more fight in him than they had anticipated when they cornered him in a lavatory. It is a theatrical and magnificent moment, with Henry Cavill cocking his hands and a pipe being pulled straight out of the wall.
In the pivotal smackdown, Chaney finally faces an opponent who actually has a shot against him after winning matches left and right in New Orleans without incident. Street presents a distinctive challenge to Chaney's brute force as a slick, agile fighter.
