Best Martial Arts Fight Scenes

I'm a huge fan of martial arts films. My pops turned me on to Jackie Chan was a was in grade school and I was hooked. I'm sure there are others here who are fans of the genre. Here are some of my favorite martial arts fights (that are available as clips on YouTube). This is not a ranked list. Feel free to post your own.

Part 1

Ninja 2: Shadow of a Tear - Scott Adkins vs Kane Kosugi


Flashpoint - Donnie Yen vs Collin Chou


Drunken Master 2 - Jackie Chan vs Ken Lo


Killzone 2 - Tony Jaa & Wu Jing vs Max Zhang


Fist of Legend - Jet Li vs Billy Chau

 

Part 2

Wheels on Meals - Jackie Chan vs Benny Urquidez


SPL - Donnie Yen vs Sammo Hung


Hero - Jet Li vs Donnie Yen


Fearless - Jet Li vs Chen Zhihui


The Raid - Joe Taslim vs Yayan Ruhian

 

Part 3

Dragon's Forever - Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao vs Goons and Benny Urquidez


The Night Comes for Us - Joe Taslim vs Iko Uwais (Warning: this one gets pretty gory)




Gorgeous - Jackie Chan vs Brad Allen (The friendliest fight I've seen that still blows my mind)

 

Sorry, there is only 1 !!!

 

My favorite.. what comes before, the fatigue on both sides, the speed, you feel the pain, the escalating music, what comes after.

 

Indonesian action films are absolutely brutal. Fantastic scene.

 

Part 4

Fist of Fury - Bruce Lee vs Dojo (Bruce Lee's best IMO)


Unleashed - Jet Li vs Michael Lambert (My favorite tight space fight)


Legend of the Fist - Donnie Yen vs Ze Germans (Cheesy epic goodness)


SPL - Donnie Yen vs Wu Jing (Kings of Speed)


Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - Michelle Yeoh vs Zhang Ziyi (Stunning fight in every way)

 

Can't believe we haven't had this thread here yet. Tony Jaa's scenes are mesmerizing.

 

While not traditional martial arts films/shows, scenes like the stairwell fight from Daredevil and the prison fight from The Punisher made the two Marvel/Netflix shows watchable.

 

Part 5

The Man From Nowhere - Won Bin vs Lots of Thugs


Dragons Forever - Jackie Chan vs Benny Urquidez


Ong Bak 3 - Tony Jaa vs Cannon Fodder


The Protector - Tony Jaa vs Stairs


Legend of the Fist - Donnie Yen vs The Entire Japanese Army

 

If we are also doing non-martial arts films, this is one of my favourites:


I'm also surprised "kung-fu hussle" has not had a mention yet, although not traditional, the cinematography was top knotch and the movie is funny as hell and totally unpredictable.

 

When i saw the "man from nowhere" last year, or two years ago, i was in disbelief like "how did this gem fly under my radar". What great fighting scene.

Hello Francis...




And about that scene, here is a fun fact that i didn't knew at all, until just now:

 

Some great stuff here! The Raid is an awesome movie!

Here's Donnie Yen Daniel Yu in the TV-series Into the Badlands.



And here's another favorite, mainly because I like the way Wing Chun looks. Kind of brutal. Donnie Yen again.

 

Man, I was kinda sad when they cancelled Into the Badlands, I thought it was well done from top to bottom. But they kept moving the night and time it aired, it's almost as if they were attempting to kill the show.

 

This scene from Enter the Dragon really blew my mind. I watched it when I was a kid and it kind of disturbed me. Especially the expression on his face around 3:05 mark when he actually kills the guy. He goes through all kinds of emotion - it starts with pure rage and then it turns into pain and sadness when he realizes that he just ended someone's life. That is at least the way I interpret it.

 

That's Daniel Wu in Into the Badlands.

 

Good catch, I completely missed it when I read his post. I was just happy to see some Into the Badlands here.

 

A couple of scenes from The Warrior's Way:

 

Not really a fight per se, but this one still haunts me:

 

Yikes, corrected! Thanks
