Movie Fight Scenes Draft

@tabbaker is up

[RiskyFlush]

Wowwwwww what a pick

[tabbaker]

I’m at work so I can be skipped.

Is @RiskyFlush after me?

[superuberbob]

@JonnyA

With my second pick, I’ll go with the best fight from the best boxing movie of all time.

Raging Bull great scene - final fight with Sugar Ray Robinson

Amazingly well directed with De Niro putting on a masterful performance. He may have taken a beating, but he never went down.

@Nicholasp27

Not every fight scene has to be nonstop action with 100 punches or 200 bullets flying.

Sometimes a nice slow burn hits the spot, especially when it’s No Country for Old Men

Brolin finally realizes there is a tracker in the money and waits for Anton, who uses his trademark cattle gun to shoot the door lock into Brolin’s chest. Brolin shoots back and then climbs out the window and they take the battle onto the street. Just a great scene in a great movie.

@RiskyFlush

If you want a supreme fight, you need a Supreme Being.

This scene is ELITE. The music is great, Leeloo’s multi-pass lets her kick ass whenever and wherever, and did I mention there’s a blue alien singing techno-opera?

For the second but overall #1 pick of the draft, Team Frisky takes Leeloo Fights the Mangalores from The Fifth Element.

Oof

[DrJenniferMelfi]

It deserves to be in it just way too high. Ted Ginn, if you will.

Beatrix v. 88 possibly the GOAT

[Trolly]

I only recently learned that the space pirates from The Force Awakens are played by the cast of The Raid as a cameo.

(I feel like this is reasonably on-topic)

[RiskyFlush]

I remain undeterred. Onward to the next GOAT pick.

[RiskyFlush]

“Your men are already dead.”

For my second round pick, I select the opening scene from The Matrix: “Trinity vs the Agents”

The Matrix - Opening Scene

A groundbreaking fight scene in a groundbreaking movie. This is the scene that told the audience they were in for something they’d never seen before. The choreography is stunning and innovative and singularly primes you for the later bullet-time scene that inspired copycats for decades to come.

Just look at this kick!!!

The directors had long been admirers of Hong Kong action cinema, so they decided to hire the Chinese martial arts choreographer and film director Yuen Woo-ping to work on fight scenes. To prepare for the wire fu, the actors had to train hard for several months.

Yuen let their body style develop and then worked with each actor’s strength. He built on Reeves’s diligence, Fishburne’s resilience, Weaving’s precision, and Moss’s feminine grace. Yuen designed Moss’s moves to suit her deftness and lightness.

[tabbaker]

Probably not the scene I would have gone with but I understand the context helps it greatly

@RiskyFlush

“Your men are already dead.”

For my second round pick, I select the opening scene from The Matrix: “Trinity vs the Agents”

I give this one a

not because the scene is bad (it isn’t) but it isn’t even the best fight in that movie let alone the entire trilogy.

Yuen Woo-ping is GOAT though.

@FuncrusherPlus in case you did not know, time for you to tap in

@superuberbob

it isn’t even the best fight in that movie let alone the entire trilogy

Obv we’re not going to mention undrafteds before the draft is over, but if you don’t pick anything from the other two movies, let’s come back to this one after the draft. What a claim :P

[superuberbob]

You can pick multiple fights from films if you want. I actually made that clear earlier.

As for the other two, most are at best meh (a couple are cartoonishly bad) while there are a couple of good ones in there.

[RiskyFlush]

For sure, you may yet pick another fight from the first movie. Though you may wisely come to realize there really is no better fight scene from any of the current three Matrix movies!

[tabbaker]

@superuberbob

So what defines a fight? Should be noted that I’m not referring to verbal arguments between characters. I’m also not talking about one-sided beatdowns, assassinations or murders. I’m talking about combat whether martial arts, guns, or even in vehicles.

For those people like me that never actually read the OP

[RiskyFlush]

@superuberbob

not referring to verbal arguments between characters

Thanks…I will revise my picks, but 5 and 6 were both going to be from The Story of Us, so I need to rethink things.

(not serious but could have been!!)

[tabbaker]

Ok screw it I’m going for a mega reach but my reasoning is correct

Round 2 Pick

Star Wars Episode I Obi Wan & Qui Gon Ginn Vs Darth Maul

Now you might be thinking, tabbaker this movie was terrible what a dumb pick. The movie was terrible but this fight has two things going for it that every other pick will be lacking.

1. Darth Maul

The man is the definition of badass. That face paint and the horns might be the perfect villain costume. ALSO HE HAS A TWO SIDED LIGHTSABER WTF. The lightsaber was already one of the greatest weapons in cinema history and my man Maul says yeah lightsabers are cool but you know what’s even cooler? Two lightsabers combined. GOAT

2. Duel of the Fates

Duel of the Fates

Put this on full blast and tell me you don’t have goosebumps. This might the greatest musical composition of all time behind Friday Remix. My pick has John Williams does yours? Didn’t think so.
