Best Fight Scenes: The Readers Respond
Our column on the best fight scenes of all time last week drummed up some more suggestions from readers. Check 'em out.
20th Century Fox
The Deadwood fight scene started this whole thing. It's the new universal, hardcore, fight barometer for a few of us. Not that it's the "best" (I really don't like the idea of ranking), but that it's certainly brutal. So, the question became, what films were in the same category and what, exactly, would that category be? The column was a blast to write and, later, my esteemed editor asked if I'd be interested in a follow-up covering the readers' responses that included their input. Upon the threat of him ripping one of my eyes out of its socket (he's very persuasive), I agreed. So let's continue the list: The Princess Bride (I'm not left-handed either) by markziff. Editor's Note: Please note the following videos depict scenes of intense violence. Viewer discretion advised! Rob Roy: Last of the Mohicans: Snatch: From Russia With Love: Darker Than Amber: Tomb Raider 1 and 2 was offered up by angiejoli26. Paradise Alley and 48 Hours were thrown in by berriberri who also noted correctly that the duel of Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back didn't really match the rules of the list. The Sopranos: Fearless: City of Violence: Queun noted that the fight in SPR was staged as a rape. Thanks dude, you've made it that much more uncomfortable to watch. Yeesh, now I need a shower. Finally, I would add Ridley Scott's, The Duelists and Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol I to round it all out. I'm glad to see so many of you kicked in: this is a great list. Many of which I agree with and, some, well... On a side note: it's nice to find some of you got into the spirit of debating the rules. So, there it is and it all started with Deadwood. Aren't we all glad it was canceled after only three seasons and replaced with the series John from Cincinnati? Yeah, that's sarcasm. Most Popular Stories
