Awesome. I forgot about that slamage. The tune was "Hackedy Sack"....something like that [I always referred to it as the Benny Hill theme].

Sometimes I honestly think William Shatner is the funniest person on this planet -- or at least YouTube anyway.

Best fight scene EVER filmed: John Wayne and Victor McLaglen in The Quiet Man. This scene is regarded by many (including me) as the best fight scene ever filmed. It's not the most violent or spectacular, but simply the best in many ways.

Here's a link - unfortunately the original soundtrack has been replaced by Bonnie Tyler's "I Need a Hero" (I'm sure the editor meant well, but the original dialogue was much more appropriate.)

The backstory: Wayne plays Sean Thornton, a boxer who unintentionally killed a man in the ring and has returned to his ancestral village in Ireland, vowing never to never lift a hand against another man. He marries Maureen O'Hara, whose brother (McLaglen) controls her dowry and won't give it to Wayne - because he dislikes him and considers him to be a coward for his refusal to fight. The eventual fight covers a great deal of country, includes a stop at a pub, and eventually results in both of them reconciling and staggering home quite drunk and singing.

It is truly a delightful movie, and this scene is one of the most memorable parts. Rent it and you will be entranced by this wonderful character study set in Ireland.

Best Fight scene ever.

There is a bad word or two in here, so if you like depictions of violence but are too squeamish for profanity, then be forewarned.

Not a fight scene... but YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS GONNA GO DOWN... Remember in Star Wars when Luke was all "The force is sweet and all... but i need some real training"... so then he went to the rock quarey and trained for like THREE WHOLE MINUTES and was 100% more badass afterwards?

No?

Does THIS jog that memory? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufQD5Y31ZA



I've been a Martial Artist for almost 20 years now and not a whole lot really gets me going on film. But i do like:

Jet Li - Especially 'Fist of Ledgend' and the 'Once Upon A Time In China' series.

Tony Jaa - I think he is the most talented martial artist acting today. (check out 'Onk Bak' or 'Tom Yum Goong')

Gordon Liu - WAY underrated and overshadowed by the more charismatic Bruce Lee in the day. Check out 'Shaolin Master Killer' (AKA- '36 Chambers') and 'Hero From the East'.

Donnie Yen - Usually cast in supporting roles, but man is awesome. See 'Iron Monkey' for a star roll and two awesome fights against Jet Li in 'Hero' and 'Once Upon a Time in China II'.

Johnny Tri Nguyen - I first saw him as a badguy in Tom Yum Goong, but his movie, 'The Rebel' is awesome. He's still relativley new on the scene but i think he has a lot of potential!



Finally, one of the best single fight scenes i have ever seen... the final scene from the otherwise 'meh'-riffic movie, 'Gorgeous', Brad Allan vs Jackie Chan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAByieNMWUY

The Bride kills Bills. I love how is a very short, intense fight, while they are on a table, its more like a western duel than an epic brawl.

It shows the intimacy between the characters in a brilliant way.
