FFA now right? I give you Jonathan Winters vs a gas station. It’s 1963 so keep it in mind but it was a great fight.
You had your chance.

Well fuck me. I had Blazing Saddles as my #1 undrafted comedy fight scene. But no you are right.

Okay I’m allowing FFA.

Anchorman and Monty Python and the Holy Grail were in my top 5 comedy fights. Here are the rest:
#3: Shaun of the Dead - Pool Sticks in the Pub
Beating a zombie with pool sticks in sync with “Don’t Stop Me Now” just cracks me up.
#4: Army of Darkness - Ash vs Mini-Ash’s
5th is the entire short “The Crimson Permanent Assurance” a short that played before Monty Python and the Meaning of Life where a rebellion against The Very Big Corporation of America occurs after they fire an elderly British man who worked Crimson Permanent Assurance, their newly acquired company.
There’s a similar fight in one of the Naked Gun movies with the same garbage can gag, but I’m going to cheat and post this one from Police Squad! because I like it better:

This is the scene I was referring to from Rob Roy. It’s lolold and isn’t full of non-stop action, but watching Tim Roth’s foppish character duelling with Liam Neeson is like watching a cat playing with its prey.

Could have gone with the first movie, but I thought the actual fighting in this one was more compelling:
Was there even a Jackie Chan pick?

Edgar Wright is all the superlatives:
EDIT: My pony is a zombie.
Great work, everyone. Somehow no one managed to pick the most iconic martial artist in movie history, that’s very impressive.

Good thing. Compared to today, his fights are pretty terrible.

I think there was one, but they came pretty close to whiffing on him as well.
I got that as the third best scene in The Matrix. Like literally the first movie. That’s how good the fights are.
I believe a fight from Legend of Drunken Master was picked.
I’m mixed on Jackie Chan fights. Sometimes the humor is so cheesy that it detracts from the scene.
