What are your favourite fight scenes of all time and why? Post the name, movie and details here. Mine are: Innovation- Blood Chinois Fight in Ultraviolet (aka the no touch fight - Violet makes 22 gangsters kill each other) Duel- Neo vs Smith in The Matrix Revolutions (Never have I seen aerial combat done so well, plus the rain effects were great) Gunfight- The Lobby scene from the original Matrix (Neo and Trinity vs. many guards) Humour- Jacky Chan vs The Unicorn in Fearless Hyena (Happy style, Sad style and Angry style kung fu - hilarious) Melee- Pistol beat down in Equilibrium (Preston flips his guns backwards, extends rivets from the handles and proceeds to beat a group of sweepers to death) Gun Kata- The Mortal Sciences Library fight in Ultraviolet (Violet blasts her way through 62+ soldiers with guns that have knives on the bottom. I love her coup de grace in the extended version) Epic- The battle of the Pellenor Fields in LotR: Return of The King Overall[/u]- The showdown at the House of Blue Leaves in Kill Bill Vol. 1 (The Bride slices her way through huge amounts of yakuza, in an extremely stylish brawl, then scalps O-Ren Ishii)

Duel in the Dark, Pitch Black, but thats a given when it comes to me Indiana Jones has some of my favourites. Paticularly, the tank battle in TLC. I enjoyed Fearlesses fights a bit, but there are plenty of better ones. Once again, I have trouble thinking of this ish off the top of my head.

This is a no brainer for me. The ending of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, so much tension, and yet it ends so suddenly.
