Best fight scenes in non-fighting movies

[rudolph]

Charlie Sheen in 2nd bar brawl - The Rookie (1990)
Franc Nero in bar fight - Django (1966)
Burt Reynolds vs. Dan Inosanto & friends - Sharky's Machine (1981)


There are many more, but I can't remember right now! Is the fight in Manchurian Candidate (1962) really as good as everyone says? Please post your some more titles.

I Love the fight scene in the warriors with them fighting the baseball bat streetgang.

[Oily Maniac]

Benny Urquidez versus John Cusack in "Grosse Point Blank".

[droach75]

I aggree They Live is the best, but i also love Grosse Point Blank. I think that scene is great, added by the great track by The English Beat 'Mirror In The Bathroom' (great soundtrack allround though). i think why i love it so much is how the film begins as a comedy, it turns quite dramatically by the end of the fight, when Minnie Driver sees Cusack stabbing the guy with the pen. A Damn good film

I liked the fight in Raiders of the Lost Arc when Indiana Jones fights that big bad german old school boxer.

mickey o'neil vs gorgeous george in snatch

[Nguss]

Hugh Grant vs Colin Firth in Bridget Jones 2.

Also the scene in True Romance directors cut in the Hotel room with Alabama and the hitman is brutal.

[zhunaid]

clint eastwood v/s william smith in any which way u can

[jirpy100]

Roy Schneider against Chinese assassin in Marathon Man (1976), very original and brutal neckbreak!

BTW. I see a similar thread started in the General section a while ago...

[Chinatown Kid]

Sean Penn and Esai Morales end fight in prison in BAD BOYS(1982).

[actionjackson]

bruce willis vs. the long-haired blond terrorist in die hard. its the fight where it looks like they copied yasuaki kurata's death in eastern condors. still, great film.

[Tosh]

A year ago I'd have a couple different awnsers, but I'd have to say after watching Oldboy:rolleyes I mean jeez, the scene in the hallway has to be the best fight scene ever.

[rockandrolltroy]

I will second "They Live".
And add the knife fight scene in "The Hunted".

[Iron Boat]

General Woundwort and Bigwig in Watership Down....Really, great fight.

[GwaiLoMoFo]

All the action scenes in "A Bittersweet Life" were very well done. The opening scene, the escape scene midway through, and the finale. A must see.

[lickinblood]

drive-in-brawl in convoy

[godzombie]

Brad Pitt Fights in SNATCH

[melchevsky]

I thought that the two scenes in Serenity were fantastic. The actor who played the operative did a great job, very tricky name, I had never heard of him. The fights were kind of a hybrid Wing Chun/Karate. The best part is that the protagonist fought it with old fashion John Wayne haymakers. Good psuedo martial arts addition to a non martial arts film.

i was pretty young when i last saw it but i was more than impressed with the sword fights in the muskateer.
