Is it bad that I skipped straight to the top 10?

Anyway, the top ten is very good. Covers all the bases - Raging Bull, Oldboy's hallway scene, Ripley vs. the Queen Alien, etc. Some day when I have the time I'll look through the whole thing.

Why is there not more bitching about this list? Am I on CHUD? I'm so confused...

I'll bitch... this list needs Donnie Yen! Any of the fights from SPL or Flashpoint could have easily made this list, with the best easily cracking the top 15.

But seriously, awesome compliation! I was glad to see Drunken Master II on there, one of my all time favourites.

not a bad list, but no John McClane vs. Karl from Die Hard?

I know we should all bitch about people posting lists, but whatever. I'd rather bitch about that awesome B13 fight at number 50.

Yeah, there's some classics missing for sure, but I was surprised by their top fight. I was expecting something predictable and lame, but instead they picked an amazing scene indeed.

It's hard to take this list seriously when it rates Optimus Prime vs. Megatron above Sonny Chiba vs. anyone from Street Fighter. In fact, where is Sonny Chiba vs. anyone from Street Fighter?

That list isn't as awful as I might have expected, but it's still totally unacceptable without the following, just off the top of the dome:

Final Battle from Tsui Hark's THE BLADE - Being held without parole in the Warner Bros. vaults, Tsui's remake of THE ONE-ARMED SWORDSMAN remains his finest hour. Thoughtful yet action-packed, there's nothing else quite like it.

Jet Li -vs- Donnie Yen, ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA II - the best fight, the best ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA film. Just watch.

Lau Kar-Leung and Jackie Chan -vs- The Axe Gang, DRUNKEN MASTER II - the original list picked the wrong fight from this film. Shot before Jackie fired original DMII director Lau Kar-Leung from the film because Jackie wanted more outlandish wirework and Lau wanted more traditional martial-arts forms. Lau, of course, was actually right, and here's the proof. The uncut version of this film is locked away at... Warner Bros, go figure.

Sammo Hung -vs- Lau Kar-Leung, PEDICAB DRIVER - ANOTHER prisoner of Warner Bros... words don't do this fight justice. Fat Guy fights Old Guy, audience wins.

I could go on, and on, and on... but that is enough for now.
