-Have to say my favorite fight scene in a movie has to be the end of Legend of drunken master with Jackie Chan, such great and unusual fight choreography.

-Worst fight scene in a movie has to be anything with Dolomite in it. You couldn't find a more uncoordinated slow badly choreographed fight scene, although if anybody does I'd be very interested.

I think Ted should look into some blacksploitation for future reviews, that's an untapped goldmine!!!

Best fight scene? I think Roddy Piper vs Keith David in They Live should be at the top of the list. Or at least near the top.

That fight in "They Live" would definitely be up there on my list even though its probably the slowest awesome fight I've seen. Looked like they were both drunk.

My favorite fight scene of all time would be Darth Vader vs. Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi! Full of emotional raw power!

My pick for the worst would be the swordfight scene in Deathstalker III as mentioned by James Rolfe in his Deathstalker video. Not much choreography to be found!

I would say what the worst fight I'd ever seen was, but just the other day I picked up a VHS copy of Lady Iron Monkey, and while I haven't watched it yet, I have a feeling it's probably worst than most of the fights I've ever seen.

I have two favorite fight fight scenes I love them both for very different reasons. I love the final duel between Colt (Chuck Norris) and Tang Long (Bruce Lee) in Way of the Dragon, the suspense is very high and the lack of talking in this fight really makes the whole scene seem more intense. Not to mention some really well choreographed fighting that really shows the two fighters skills while not breaking the boundary of realism. My other favorite fight scene is the one at the end of Undefeatable, this fight is so over the top and ridiculous that I love it in every way that didn't make the Way of the Dragon fight good. The screaming, the senseless violence, and the immunity of pain. Also one liners are always good.

Least favorite is any fight scene involving extensive Wire-fu. Takes out the skill of seeing the actors/actresses real talent.

I think I read somewhere that Roddy was a little inebriated during the making of the movie.

It is probably a good risk to claim that Roddy is usually inebriated.

Hate me all you want but I'm going to say every fight scene in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes.

In the world of kung-fu actioners, the Bruce Lee/Chuck Norris fight from Way of the Dragon was pretty tops. I also love the fight between Bruce and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in "Game of Death," which really showcased both how Bruce was able to adapt his style towards less... conventional opponents.

On the Jackie Chan side of things, there's a lot of awesome stuff pre-"Rumble in the Bronx," from Jackie Vs. Benny Urquidez in "Wheels on Meals," to Jackie Vs. a mall in "Police Story" to Jackie vs. the space-time continuum in "Drunken Master II." Then he got old, came to America and started backflipping onto couches. I miss old school Jackie.

I recently watched Ip Man. If you haven't seen, good gravy you need to. If you have, then I'm referring to the scene where Ip Man goes to the Japanese dojo after a certain character is killed and he beats the everloving spunk out of like 10 guys. The hits just resonate so well it feels real and painful. There is a lot of emotion involved in this scene which further drives the intensity of the fight. Very very cool.

As for the worst, any fight scene with the white guy in a movie called Ninja Kill. They splice in a white guy fighting 'ninjas' into a Korean movie and it's hilariously stupid. I think in just about every fight they reuse the same footage of probably the one guy they knew that could do gymnastics, doing a back flip like four times in a row.

So, I know the Oldboy horse has been beaten into it's grave, but come on...that fight scene at the prison was majestic.
