It's from India.



Not sure why one would tie themselves upside down to a vine and swing slowly toward their opponent, but there you are.

Here's the link the the hilarious cracked.com article where I found this:

Gotta love those sound effects too! Those punches sounded like an 80's drum machine.

I like how he simply pulled his arm out of the coat when the guy was grabbing onto it, the guy ended up going through a spike.

Or Jackie Chan in the drunken master. I don't really know.

(except any other scene in a movie as peerless as this)



The town tailor and baker defend against blind musical assassins sent by the Axe Gang. Unable to stop them, and because they can't get to sleep with all the racket, the Tragic Couple decide to break it up: Silk Pajama & Hair Rollers style.

Only because Viggo Mortensen fights naked in it and you even get to see little Viggo make an appearance

from the Matrix films are visually awesome...even if some of the stuff is clearly CGI.

Seems like they gave Laurence Fishburne better fight scenes than Keanu Reeves...JMO.

The sword duel. I fight left handed/I am not left handed. Hilarious and well done, a fight that entertains and tells story in ways most fights do not.

It's quotable in the best of all possible ways too. If people recognize the quote they'll give you props for that (usually without saying so out loud) and if they don't it sounds clever anyways.

24. Does this include a food fight?

If so, my first vote goes to John Belushi in Animal House:



Also this innovative, creative *food fight*:

Finally, Game Over by Pes:

They're swordfighting in the Imperial Senate, and all of a sudden, Palpatine starts lobbing the pods across the chamber via telekinesis (i.e., he's literally throwing democracy down on the head of poor little Yoda).

Not sure if this counts but almost the entire Disney film "Spirit" is a fight scene (FWIW, I've seen virtually every trick that horse pulls in real life).

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon has some great fight scenes!

Mr. and Mrs. Smith - that fight scene always cracks me up when they discover the other one is really an undercover spy and destroy their house in the process.

"I felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of any panda that wouldn't screw to save its' species. I wanted to open oil tankers and dump oil on those French beaches I'd never see..."

Also I love the ending of Collateral (2004) with Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx shooting at each other.
