Favorite fist fight scene in a movie (Not martial arts)

[the ringo kid]

Didn't that russian guy go on to captain a ship in some movie about a shark??

Like your reference to Robert Shaw.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick *** ... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

They Live has the best, most ridiculous fist fight scene ever, taking place next to a dumpster and a Camaro. It could be the best setting ever for two meatheads to duke it out.

Alan Ladd and Van Heflin duking it out with the BGs in "Shane" was worth the price of admission.

 

[UncaGrunny]

"They Call Me Trinity" & "Trinity is Still My Name"; Terence Hill never really did launch in the US, but some of the fight scenes in that series of movies were hilarious - - especially his brother Bambino's (Bud Spencer) top-of-the-head poleaxing move.

Even funnier because it's a true "Spaghetti Western."

 

[BigBill]

Hands down Charles Bronson in Hard Times.

 

[wbraswell]

Mongo vs. horse.
Big Jake "Have you ever been to Nacogdoches?"
McLintock, big fight scene. "Where the whiskey?"
Four Brothers, on the ice. "Put him in the hole."

This is slightly off topic. But, I saw a show a long time back about movie making in Hollywood. It had a segment about how important sound effects were and how they were sometimes used to set or change the whole tone of a movie. They showed a great John Wayne saloon brawl from an old black & white western normally, and then they showed the same fight with all of the boinks and bonks and other Stooge sound effects. It was great. I laugh every time I think about it.

Moe, Curly, and Larry did so many good ones it is hard to name the best.

I'll go for Sip's view of Eli and the FBI agent. I guess we won't know for a while but that fight should have killed someone. I Googled the scene and the actors got pretty well bruised up in the three days it took to shoot it.

 

[SKELVIS]

Borat had an awesome fight scene.lol

I scanned this to add They Live and found someone else has good taste as well.

Good taste.

Marshall Matt Dillon Gun Smoke anyone of his fight' s and yeah Hoss Cartwright could hit hard to .

 

[finesse_r]

Best Bronson fight(s) in Hard Times

Best John Wayne vs. Ward Bond in The Quiet Man

Best Clint Eastwood in Every Which Way But Loose.

 

[old bear]

All good suggestions but I have a very clear vision of George Kennedy opening a BIG can of *** whup on Paul Newman in "Cool Hand Luke."

 

[HAWKEYE10]

I would have liked to have seen all the fights at Wal Mart this past weekend. Of coarse from a distance.

PS Some people sure are stupid.

 

[WNC Seabee]

Brad Pitt in Snatch when Jason Statham goes to buy a caravan from the gypsies.

 

[kamloops67]

vigo mortenson in "eastern promises" good fight scene in the steam room

 

[rog8732]

In addition to the others above,I nominate the fight in "On the Waterfront" when Brando got the worst of it. Also, the Robert Mitchum version of "Cape Fear".

The fight with Eli and the FBI guy (Knox) was great on Boardwalk Empire.

 

[Straightshooter2]

Dalton and Jimmy at the end of Road House

Indiana Jones and the big German mechanic

Probably my favorite though would be John Wayne (Sean Thornton) and Victor McLaglen (Squire "Red Will" Danaher)

"Red Will" Danaher: Mind you, I'm fresh as a daisy!

Thornton: You look more like a black-eyed Susan to me.

I vote for the movie "The Quite Man" with John Wayne.
