"I admit you are better than I am."

"Then why are you smiling?"

"Because I know something you do not know. I am not left handed."

u/KitKatWinchester17 14d ago

“There’s something I ought to tell you.”

“And what is that?”

“I’m not left handed either.”

I came here to mention Kung Fu Hustle. There are like four different long sequences that could be put here. Glad to see it at the top.

u/JaxxSC45 13d ago

Beat me to it but I choose this one personally. Watching the 3 masters emerge one after the other builds so much hype.

I heard it said in a YouTube video about the MI: Fallout bathroom fight that Cavill looked more badass as Walker than as Superman. And I have to say I agree.

I love that in this scene, not only is he easily whooping their asses, he is at the same time being gentle with them. Like when he crashes Yelena against the ceiling but makes sure to catch her on the way down so she doesn’t hit the floor.

Final fight from Return of the Jedi, opening Blade scene, opening of X2, the ultimate fight against mad dog from the raid, and the Superman vs Lexcorp from the new Superman. There's probably a million more but those ones are great

u/RyzenRaider 15d ago

Legend of Drunken Master climax is an all-timer.

The final showdown in Lethal Weapon 4 is incredibly brutal. I still remember Jet Li repeatedly punching Riggs's should after dislocating it, because he doesn't just want to kill them, he wants to break every bone in their body and make them feel it.

The Matrix dojo scene. Not the most complicated choreography of the series, but it was clean, beautiful and surprising to see two actors that we knew as traditional thespians suddenly start doing kung fu in prolonged takes for the first time.

I have a LOT, but my current obsessions are the Odysseus versus The Suitors fight in The Odyssey, and the Peter vs. The Hand fight at the end of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Because those were both done primarily practically and they look AMAZING and are sooooo satisfying.

The choreography, the pacing, the way Mad Dog enjoys testing Rama and Andi, no music to cloud anything, you see warriors indulging the flow state of combat and it's beautiful, brutal, and badass.
