I thought about listing individual fight scenes, but I'm not sure of the character limitation for the fields. Hmm...5 of my 6 given choices have Yuen Wo Ping choreography...

Have to go with Iron Monkey...to me those fights were like watching Street Fighter 2 as live action (without it being spoiled by the western world's sad take on movie-to-game translations).

I mean come on Donnie Yen dragon punches a sack of corn into a corrupt-monk and that ultimate-evil-monk-king-guy does an M. Bison screw attack!

badass!

Yeah, the whole grain sack thing was way cool.

Donnie Yen rules. Too bad his fight scene with Jackie Chan in Shanghai Knights totally sucked.

Also too bad he got killed like a punk in Blade 2, he needs a GOOD american movie role, he deserves one!

Good scenes all around in your poll though, i loved Crouching Tiger and Drunken Master II's scenes as well!

None. I can't remember the title, but in the scene there's no sound effects and it's all bare fists. So you actually hear what skin-on-skin punches sound like, none of the woosh, biff, thwap in most fight scenes.

The Drunken Master II final fight was incredibly funny, but I won't say it's the best in terms of great fighting. I really don't know which one is my favourite fight scene, I only really remember the funny ones. Many of Jackie Chan's old stuff comes to mind for comedy value, such as Young Master. Skirt style!

As for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fight scenes.. blah. The hand-to-hand stuff, I hated. The sword fights were okay, but I've seen many sword fights that were better. Stormriders

The Drunken Master one was pretty great. He stops in the middle of the fight to go thrash the crate, man that was great.


Lazy bored. Crazy stupid.

if you liked that check out "City Hunter" also w/ Jackie Chan... I don't want to give it away but SF fans will be able to appreciate this movie more.
