Fight scenes? (martial arts based)

[idgiehkt]

Know of any good ones? Post videos if you can.

Here is a good one of the 2nd season finale of Alias, girl-fight extroardinaire:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8CE9-FCxGc

there are some other excellent fights from Alias but I haven't been able to find many on youtube.

[SPKrazy]

1. Hi Idg!

I have no fight scene, but I wanted to say hi!

:pals:

[idgiehkt]

2. Hi! I'm in the middle of an Alias-athon

I've watched 12 episodes today.

:rofl:

Pathetic, isn't it...

[SPKrazy]

3. I Like Alias Too

Jennifer Garner always thought as being pretty hot.

What's the marathon on? Or is it on DVD

pathetic is as pathetic does!

:rofl:


edit I always liked her mother better. she is HOT and I just like her

[idgiehkt]

4. Lena Olin

She kicks ass. Very sultry. She really helped that show out. Unlike the little sister, whom I loathted. I was so mad when they brought her on there, it was such a gimmick the 'twins' thing or whatever.

There is a really good fight scene in a movie with Sharon Stone in it that I can't remember. I don't know why I want to watch this stuff tonight but I do. I told myself I was going to bed at 3:00 and I'm still up, lol

I'm watching my DVD's

[SPKrazy]

5. 2 here

listening to music posting on DU

was talking to Nicole, she vanished again

crim son went to bed

BNL hasn't been here

quiet

you weren't here watching alias

now you're here!

:applause: :hug:

[idgiehkt]

7. I've been bored all day

I haven't watched these DVD's in ages and I almost got rid of them the last time I took a bunch of stuff to goodwill. I thought about donating them to the library but now I'm glad I didn't.

[deucemagnet]

35. Are you thinking of Total Recall?

Sharon Stone vs. Arnold Schwartzeneggar?

[idgiehkt]

39. I've seen that one on youtube

I don't know why but I thought she fought another female in that film, I guess not. There is a clip of that on youtube but the person who made it looped it so that he gets kicked in the groin over and over and over, which is painful for even me to watch. Well, on second thought, since he's a repuke:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_-DgEbqiQ0

this hurts me, lol.

[Richard Steele]

50. BWAHAHAHA!!!!! Oh my, was that funny!

WHOP-"nghaaaa!"-WHOP-"nghaaa!"-WHOPwhopWHOPwhop-"nghaaa!"
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

And, the use of the NFL-style "reverse angle" replay....
that's where it crosses the line from "funny" to "brilliantly funny".

[idgiehkt]

6. here's a cute Jackie Chan one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsJXfuSK4kQ

I think this is from the first 'Rush Hour' movie

Man, watching Alias for this long does something to you, lol

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

8. Bruce Lee is the FUCKING MAN!

Pound for pound, he was the strongest fighter ever.

Bruce Lee killing O'Hara

Bruce Lee fighting Chuck Norris

For some reason, I couldn't find video of the mirror fight in Enter the Dragon.

[idgiehkt]

10. w00t!

Hey Girl!

I'm glad an actual martial artist showed up on here with the goods! :hi: Off to watch them DI-rectly.

[idgiehkt]

11. wow.

the tension in that first one is amazing. Heavy.

I've never seen any Bruce Lee movies...I've never seen Chuck Norris when he was that young. Wow, Norris got creamed. Did he die? That kitten in there was so cute...I was afraid something was gonna happen to it.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

12. The first scene is from "Enter the Dragon"

which is the best martial arts movie ever. Hands down. Rent it. That's an early fight you saw. It gets even better later in the movie.

The scene with Chuck Norris is from "Way of the Dragon." Also good.

[NewJeffCT]

19. agreed

best kung fu movie ever.

[NewJeffCT]

20. when i see the first one

I always want to say "and there endeth the lesson" at the end of it..

[sakabatou]

29. The kitten would beat them both.

[ariesgem]

61. I LOVE Bruce Lee!

Enter The Dragon was my all time favorite.

[idgiehkt]

9. another Alias one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVMW6FTPOx0&mode=related&search=

This is when she rescues Will and he realizes she's a spy and screams...one of my favorite scenes

"Who the hell are you people?"

:rofl:

here's another one with some fight clips:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qsipaDnQXQ&mode=related&search=

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T_cRsJUrJ0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBG5bUnmcE4
the video in this one is poor but the song is cool

I always thought Xena was a little silly but they are fun to watch.

[idgiehkt]

28. oops

[idgiehkt]

15. crouching tiger, hidden dragon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU83DH5rfbA

[NewJeffCT]

18. not my favorite fight scene in that movie

The opening scene with Michelle Yeoh against Zhang Ziyi, or their later showdown at Yeoh's home.

[idgiehkt]

37. this is the second one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OxQ-2gR1DU

I thought I saw the first one earlier but I can't find it.

[idgiehkt]

16. Ripley vs. Alien Queen

not martial arts but it still kicks ass
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2RDpWAxY9Y&mode=related&search=

[idgiehkt]

17. more Jackie Chan

this is really nice:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_vMxoEzcJY&mode=related&search=

[hellbound-liberal]

21. No Question! Frank Dux vs. Chong Li ! with Jean-Claude van Damme

I don't recall seeing a more realistic fight scene in any movie. Check it out!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88trefrjITY

[buddhamama]

22. it is the only van Damme movie i have seen

and liked. the fact that it is based on an actual person might have something to do with my liking it.

i agree, it is a great scene.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

23. Tony Jaa in 'Tom Yum Goong' (The Warrior King) - 4 minute continuous shot

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx1NcElsoVc

[mondo joe]

25. Oooh! I just saw Jaa in THE PROTECTOR last night.

And it had a cute baby elephant too!

[conscious evolution]

24. The tree fight

in Ang Bok.
Takes up the first ten minutes of the movie.The local village has a version of capture the flag where you have to fight your way to the flag in the top of the tree and back down again.

One of the best martial arts movie since Enter the Dragon,IMO.

[mondo joe]

26. Here you go - Tony Jaa in The Protector

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta2fv0BcR-4

[mondo joe]

27. OMG - here's the Dance Scene from ZATOICHI - THE BLIND SWORDSMAN

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fsDL24o8uM

[Orsino]

30. I'm not a fan of martial arts movies...

...not really, but the treetop battle between Li Mu and Jen Yu in Crouching Tiger is gorgeous. I also dig the amazing Shaolin Challenges Ninja. The most surprising aspect of the latter movie is that (sorry for the potential spoiler) no one dies, despite the near-constant fighting.

[idgiehkt]

31. I don't watch them either, unless they are comedies like Jackie Chan

It's all about context, or subtext, like in the Alias final battle where you know the characters and understand that if Sydney doesn't kill the evil Allison whose DNA has been altered to make her identical to Syd's dead roomate Franzi, that Allison will kill Syd. It's harder for me to get into the films that are just fighting for the sake of it, that's why I put 'fight scenes' that are martial arts based although the purists might find them lacking. I always loved to watch Buffy for the fight scenes, especially since the villians in that show were alwasy so bizarre and twisted.

I thought there was a female vs. female scene from Total Recall with Sharon Stone but I can't find it...maybe I just imagined it.

[Orsino]

52. Buffy, of course, rules the universe. n/t

[TroubleMan]

32. Here's a list of some of my favorites:

http://www.kungfucinema.com/reviews/drunkenmaster2.htm
All of the fights in Drunken Master II. The last fight scene is a string of fight scenes that's a good 30 minutes long. It is the best fight scene EVER done. The very last part of the fight scene has to been seen to be believed - but you need to watch the rest of the movie to fully set it up properly. The restaurant fight scene is incredible, too. Don't watch them on youtube or dailymotion because the clips on there don't have the subtitles - it's really funny what Jackie Chan is saying when he calls out the names of the moves he's doing. This might be the best Kung Fu movie ever made - the story is great, the acting is really good (all top notch actors), and it has the best fight scene of all time, another which is in the top 10, and another which would be top 20.

http://www.kungfucinema.com/reviews/taichimaster.htm
There are 3 or 4 incredible fight scenes in Tai Chi Master (aka Twin Warriors). It's hard to pick a favorite, but this movie is another movie that has great acting and a great story to go along with incredible fight scenes.

http://www.kungfucinema.com/reviews/shaolindrunkard.htm
This movie has a bunch of different names: Shaolin Drunkard, Shaolin Drunkards, Wu Tang Drunkard, and Wu-Tang Master. This seriously is one of the funnies movies ever. The final fight scene is one of the funniest things I've ever scene in my life, and it's incredible choreography. If I try to explain it - it won't make any sense...you have to see it.

Also check out Project A and Armour of God II: Operation Condor - both by Jackie Chan.

There's a bunch of others I could recommend, but I'm sure that's enough for now.

[idgiehkt]

34. there is something about him

I just adore. I guess because he has the ability to laugh at himself. Some of the serious stuff I can't watch buy I like everything by Jackie Chan I've seen. :hi:

[Richard Steele]

33. Neo vs. Smith in the subway station is a good one...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGEOubtNKtg

[SPKrazy]

36. Ohhh, That Is A Good One!

:thumbsup: :hi:

[Richard Steele]

49. I have a special fondness for that one...

It contains, in my humble opinion, the single
greatest "movie martial arts" move EVER. I just
love it.

[idgiehkt]

54. nice

keanu looks hot in this.

I think I need to watch this movie at some point.

[Evoman]

38. Any scene from Jet Li's Fearless....he fights with boxers, swordsman, everyone.

Plus, there is none of the silly "string" fighting. Oh, and its got the hottest girl EVER in it. Chinese actress Sun Li.



Oh, and a link to the youtube trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b2ZnspeHoA

[Frank Cannon]

40. That Sydney Bristow-Evil Francie fight is the best TV fight scene EVER

Not just the best girl fight. This is televised dramatic hand-to-hand combat at its very best.

Thanks for posting that. Alias was such a great show in its day. The coolest thing about this fight scene is that if you watched the show, you knew it eventually HAD to happen. When it did, you weren't disappointed.

[idgiehkt]

41. I think so

one think I really like about it is how tired they get, and when they start slipping at the end it is really obvious that they are winded. I never can tell what it is Syd uses to get Franzie with at the end, I think it's glass, before she shoots her. What I love about it is that it is so imperfect, and it's to the death, and you've been following the characters so long that like you said, it was inevitable. I really hated to see Merrin Dungey go, though...Abrams is pretty cold-hearted about his series, he doesn't think twice about sacrificing a central character for the plot. By about season three I had stockholm syndrom from being jerked around so much.

I'm really, really surprised that there are not more youtube vids of the fight scenes from that show. There are tons of her and Vaughn, and her different personas (and outfits), but someone needs to do videos of ALL the fight scenes, from start to finish for each season. She has some great ones with Anna Espinoza but I haven't found but one clip of them on youtube.

[Frank Cannon]

43. I remember Sydney's fight with the "Asian torture guy"

where she gave him a taste of his own medicine on his testicles.

You're right; there were a lot of great fights on that show. They really need to be archived on YouTube.

[idgiehkt]

44. that's on one of those clips

wait, it's on the "No Man's Woman" video that I posted yesterday.

Yep, that is my favorite episode, the very first one. That character never even had a name outside of 'Suit and Glasses'. The actor's name is Ric Young.

[anarch]

42. this is the best fight scene ever committed to film,

ever:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUuTYMOAMK0

[idgiehkt]

45. this the one they

spoofed on "South Park" no?

edit: I agree. What's the point in beating the shit out of someone if you don't really and truly hate their ass. Fights like these just have a passion that is lacking in the skills fighting, it makes it a whole lot more watchable. Thanks for posting this. I knew about this but didn't know the name of the film.

[anarch]

47. yeah,

from They Live...amazing movie, imho.

[idgiehkt]

48. I know

God, I just saw the end of it. Wow that is a freaky movie. I couldn't understand the part about the glasses til now, lol. This definitely is the most well known fight scene, for sure. Thoroughly enjoyable, thanks. :hi:

[idgiehkt]

46. here is the Buffy and Faith final fight

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhlGdzvQjjk

I don't think it's that well choreographed but the movement in the plot is pretty intense, so...

[bridgit]

51. not a problem...

crouching Tiger

Crouching Tiger Clip

crouching tiger hidden dragon fluke absurd

[idgiehkt]

53. I need to rent this movie

I'm sorry I missed it, it looks like it is amazing.

thanks for posting these :hi:

[opiate69]

55. Here's the clear winner!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va2siioYqjc

[idgiehkt]

56. no commercials, no mercy!

:rofl:

[opiate69]

58. lol.. LOVE that movie.. maybe I should ask my wife to buy it for my birthday

[idgiehkt]

57. I love the Bridget Jones fights

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCioEABJK8k

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlhAqFKBEBs

hysterical.

[ForrestGump]

59. Way, WAY too many to mention

But some that stand out in my recent memory as more realistic examples of martial prowess were the fight scenes in the two Bourne movies that stared Matt Damon. The training for them was Filipino kali/escrima, but the concepts and techniques are common to other Asian martial arts. Very economical, non-showy, quick, brief, and do-able hand-to-hand combat.

Hi... :hi:

[idgiehkt]

60. realistic is good

but like you say, reality is not all there is to life.
