Best Movie Fight Scenes

[MrsCatHead]

oooooh Iron Monkey is my crack right now. When it's too hot to sleep, I lie in front of the fan and watch Iron Monkey til I can fall asleep. (The little kid who plays the "son" is really a girl! That character grows up to become Jet Li's character, Wong Fei Hung, in Once Upon a Time in China...ANOTHER great movie with great fight scenes!)

My new favorite director is Chan-Wook Park. Rent Oldboy and pay attention to the hallway fight scene. Awesome stuff there! (ATTN: it's a pretty disturbing film...so...a word of warning)

ETA: I haven't seen IM2 but, mutagen, it's almost worth it just to see "Ho Shit" in the credits. LOL

Oh I know! The child actor in Iron Monkey is amazing (and I too was totally surprised to find out she was a girl). I wonder what she is up to nowadays? Because judging by her amazing physical performance in Iron Monkey it seems like she should have a pretty nice action career waiting for her as an adult.

Have you seen Iron Monkey 2? If you haven't, DO NOT SEE IT. It is absolutely terrible. And I'm the sort of person who doesn't really care about acting, plot, realism or whatever as long as the fights are good and it's semi-coherent... IM2 is neither, and Donnie Yen is barely in it. The best part of the movie is in the ending credits when some guy is listed as "Ho Shit." This movie was one of my biggest film letdowns of all time.

Yoda's lightsaber duel with Count Dooku in Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones was the best thing about it.

I agree Slashgirl. I especially loved Yoda's "lets do this bitch!" face when he breaks out with the lightsaber.
