[Count Dookkake]

The climax of Resident Evil: Retribution.

 

[pfkas]

The girl scouts in Airplane.

 

[VAD]

Hit-Girl from Kick-Ass.

 

[mm04]

Haywire is what came to mind almost immediately. The lack of music, jump cuts and a steady cam make it entirely believable.

 

[Neverwas]

I'd go with Cynthia Rothrock, but I'd have to scour childhood memories for actual scenes to post.

More recently, May in s2 of Agents of SHIELD had some pretty great fights.

 

[Big_Al]

Nice to see Yukari Oshima and Cynthia Rothrock mentioned in here. I'll be honest and say I was never really much of a Rothrock fan until I saw her in the HK movies she did where she's brilliant and much more effective than that STV dreck she did.

Another action star I'll mention is the awesome Cynthia Khan, especially In The Line Of Duty IV (also had Donnie Yen in it)

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Michelle Yeoh vs. Ziyi Zhang in the OP is undoubtedly one of the greatest fight scenes in film history, but I love their earlier fight too after the sword is stolen and Yeoh pursuits her.

Has Ang Lee done more action films? He really ought to.

 

[Hambulance]

Wonder Woman + Big Barda vs The Furies

[jetjevons]

Total guilty pleasure but I got a kick out of some of the creative fight scenes in the Charlie's Angels movies. Sue me.

 

[Faustek]

They don't get much more badass than Lady Snowblood

The Chanbara scene still alive then? Haven't really seen much since the VHS days.

Outlaw Brothers

I recommend Yukari Oshima in general

Outlaw Brothers <3

Gina Carano vs. Fassbender

Look, look at that fight, the movements of the actors, the ferocity in the blows(not all you see weak ass play happen with the vase for example) and it's all better than Civil War.

You can never go wrong with Pei-Pei Cheng btw. So many movies that don't exist in proper format from her early time it's sad :/

Anita Mui is one that should have gotten more time in the spotlight. Her supporting roles, while funny never really got the time to show off.

Dang, I forgot Qiu Yuen(landlady from Kung Fu Hustle) which I'm going to watch now had a pretty good scene in Dragon's Claw and Dragon's Snakefist

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Wonder Woman + Big Barda vs The Furies

I dunno why, but the part where she hooks the cable around her leg to yank it forward is sooo badass. Reminds me also of when Cap spun around Spidey's web to yank him forward.

 

[clockworkinyou]

Seriously yall???

No one has posted Ronda Rousey vs. Michelle Rodriguez????

Yall letting me down

Rondo Rousey is terrible.

 

[LoveCake]

Quite a few have already said 'Kill Bill' The Bride Vs. O-Ren (Showdown at the House of Blue Leaves).

But I will go for Beatrix Kiddo Vs Elle Driver (Trailer Showdown) Part 1, Part 2.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Kill Bill.

All

of

it.

 

[Hyun Sai]

Into the Badlands got some nice choregraphy involving The Widow.

[Rhaknar]

Y'all need more Banshee in your lives fools

 

[jelly]

Gina Carano vs. Fassbender

That fight is ace. The film not so much.

 

[erlim]

Honestly just about any Cynthia Rothrock fight scene is just extremely fun to watch.

ctrl+f Cynthia Rothrock; you don't disappoint!

 

[Hyun Sai]

That fight is ace. The film not so much.

The Fassbender storyline is the only thing notable in this movie. It's like it went lost in a pile of shit.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

It was pretty short, but I thought the fight between Furiosa and Max was really well choreographed

The obvious best choice is Kill Bill though

 

[OricWindstar]

What is this trend involving women in Off Topic? First thread asking for examples of women having a real bad day and now this?

Haha, I saw that one right as I was posting this and was hoping it didn't seem like a trend, hence me mentioning it in the OP.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

The hand to hand fight between Furiosa and Max (while chained to Nux) in Fury Road was lit.

The involvement of the wives, the use of found items as weapons, the tension wrought by not wanting anybody to get hurt, that fight is poetry.

 

[BruceCLea]

Was Rodriguez vs Roussey in Furious 7 any good?

fuck no

 

[Kyzon]

Thai film, called "Chocolate" in English. You might like what you see.

Yes! Watch this this movie.

[nicanica]

 

[cdyhybrid]

OP mentioned my #1 choice so I'll echo Kill Bill and Trinity in The Matrix.

Also Rey vs. Kylo Ren.

 

[Seiryoden]

Tsui Hark's "Peking Opera Blues" showcases some great fight scenes from its female actors Sally Yeh and *swoon* Brigitte Lin Ching-hsia. Is available on Youtube.

 

[Professor Beef]

Tigress vs Tai Lung in Kung-Fu Panda

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Tifa's fight scene in Advent Children is bad ass.

Kill Bill obviously wins.

Does this count?

[Aselith]

Don't watch Torque.
I went to the theaters to watch it and regretted every second of it.

What? Torque is awesome

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Korra vs Zahir and Bei Fong vs Suyin were good. Also, Azula vs Katara & Zuko.

 

[double jump]

what you know bout that young blood?

[Monocle]

Kill Bill: the thread.

Michelle Yeoh vs. Ziyi Zhang in the OP is undoubtedly one of the greatest fight scenes in film history, but I love their earlier fight too after the sword is stolen and Yeoh pursuits her.

https://youtu.be/rxJiE5EKnD0

Has Ang Lee done more action films? He really ought to.

And those two scenes for sure.

 

[Messofanego]

Sense8, any fight with Doona Bae. There are like 3-4 of them. Here is one.

This film had the gall to crack a joke at Fast and the Furious for being dumb and then pull shit like this.

Torque is a joke, it's meant to be a parody of those kind of films. The director, Joseph Kahn, had a great podcast with Slashfilm about what they were trying to do.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Oh shit, give me some dap on that one!

Oh.

It failed.

Oh.

Man did it ever.

Yessss.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Gina Carano vs. Fassbender

Wow, I need to see/finish this movie.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Chun Li vs Vega


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEQSmVNoDGE

Is the KMFDM playingthe actual soundtrack? ...

 

[Schlorgan]

Gina Carano vs. Fassbender

Gina Carano vs Michelle Rodriguez
Or
Rhonda Rousey vs Michelle Rodriguez

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

One of my favorite films duels of all time. The music. The build-up. That fucking locale.

The sound of the water dropping from Shishi-Odoshi fountain is imprinted in my head. Tarantino is masterclass.

 

[zeemumu]

Gina Carano vs Michelle Rodriguez
Or
Rhonda Rousey vs Michelle Rodriguez

Probably Gina. For some reason I believe that fight a little more.

I recall Paula Patton messing up that one chick in Mission Impossible.
