The 7 Best Fight Scenes of All Time | Martial Arts Edition 

Bruh The Raid fight scene in the the apartment hall is one of my favorite scene. The boy Julio gets merked! Bruh you miss my boy Matt Damon in in the Bourne Identity 3.

LETS GO!!! Definitely gonna need that part 2 though, missing Fist of Legend, Merantu, The Night Comes for Us. So many good scenes. I like all of these though forsure. Great Vid!

Jet Lee in Fearless or Fist of Legend. Michael Jai White in Blood and Bone or him and Scot Adkins in Undisputed 2. Transporter, District 13, Bourne or Kill Bill movies, OldBoy (Hallway) or maybe Book of Eli. Plenty of material to through

Dope per usual bro. That Raid had to be number 1 no surprise there. I think I would've added the top down scene from John Wick, but this one is dope too!

Once again. I'm late, I forgot to sub to your channel (I am now) These are great picks for the best fight scenes of all time. You mentioned the stairs scene in The Protector because of course you did 👍🏻 It would be on my list because it's done in one take and you can see how exhausted Tony Jaa is at the end of it, it's crazy An honorable mention would be the fight between Donny Yen and Collin Chou in Flash Point. I love the wrestling and ground game in that fight (lot of camera cuts tho) To be honest tho, my top fight scenes could all be from the Raid movies 😉 Take care my man, and thank you for the good stuff

I cannot wait for a Part 2, and even a Bruce Lee vid. I knew I was following a good dude on RU-vid because you rate that Ong Bak 2 bridge fight scene - one my favorites and truly the fight scene that illustrated Tony Jaa's real potential at the time. Great list and great fights. I will add that while the Matrix fight might not be my personnel favorite, the scene itself is so amazing because it uses film language in such a way that you slowly begin to BELIEVE that Neo can beat Agent Smith. Hope to hear more from you on this subject soon, especially when it comes to Jet Li and others (including Michael Jai White, Van Damme and any other classic action dudes you find cool).

Great list ! I would recommend Donnie Yen Vs Wu Jing from Kill Zone just for the novelty of it, this fight is almost improvised with no speed up. They want to make this scene as close to "real fighting" as possible, not many actor can keep up with Donnie Yen so its great to see him go all out for once. There is an 1 hour BTS video of this fight on RU-vid, one of my favorite fight of all time

after i watched the final fight scene of the raid 2, i lose my interest on another fight scenes, i don't know why.

I'm surprised there's no Scot Adkins on this list at all. The bar fight scene from Avengment is an absolute gem or practically any of his scenes in the Undisputed franchise.

For my money, Wong Fei Hung vs the white lotus society, first fight from once upon a time in china 2, and the finale of Jackie Chan's Dragons Forever would belong on my list of top fight scenes :) If you've not seen them before, I recommend checking them out. Excellent choreography but also the character comes through :) (another superb fight is Collin Chou vs Donnie Yen in Flashpoint :) )

I knew you'd rep the Raid movies here, had no worries about that 😄. I was big into Tony Jaa also but never saw Ong Bak 2 , I heard it got a little off the rails with the plot; good to note there's some action in there worth checking out!

great list, please do a part 2. Personally, the tonfa+knife fight is my favorite fight in the raid. I recommend 'The man from nowhere'', which has my personal favorite knife fight of all time

The Raid... I just admire the slickness and genius of the director, Gareth Evans. Regarding martial arts, what Iko and Maddog or Assassin do are ordinary things, they usually do it every day. Iko is a Betawi tribe (Jakarta Province), Maddog/Assassin is a Sundanese tribe (West Java Province), these two provinces are close together, and in ancient times both were well known in Southeast Asia and even the world as a tribe with a strong martial arts culture, in addition to other tribes. other tribes in Indonesia. In the past, in the Betawi (Iko) tribe, young people were required (military conscription?) to master Religion and Silat skills. Every night we Betawi usually watch Silat training and demonstrations. Every Sunday there is a drama performance in the villages (Lenong) which displays stories and silat, with real machetes. In the great Lenong group, accidents occur to the body, possibly to life, when the players are carried away by the emotional current of the audience's applause. If the Iko vs Maddog/Assain fight happened in real life, it might not be as beautiful as in the film, but it would probably be much more terrifying. Why the world today doesn't know/see Silat is because Indonesia can't make films yet, and Gareth sees that.

ooo yes yes please make a list for bruce lee's best fights!

Before I even clicked on the video, I thought how is he going pick which “Raid” scene to be No.1?😂 Honorable mention: the hallway fight scene in “Oldboy”

Big Trouble In Little China had good fight scenes too.

Had to come to the comments to recommend and shotout The Villainess (2017) In my opinion it has hands down some if the best action scenes/ stunt work of the last 10 maybe 20 years Great action movie for anyone that hasn't seen it

You know I'm old so I'll be looking for the Bruce Lee list. But these are all good ones too. I haven't seen most of them, but looking forward to watching them

Let li vs Donnie Yen in Hero - absolute class

Bruce Lee Vs Chuck Norris was the first EPIC martial arts fight!

Not sure if this counts on this list but what do you think about the final fight scene in The Man from Nowhere? Specifically the knife fight?

THE RAID !!!

These were all great picks but I do think that the last two fights in Jackie Chan's Fearless Hyena is a much better fight scene then the one picked for JC, especially given when it came out, real weapons and the amount of takes it took (not many) to pull it off.

Good list, really. But I would like to give honorable mentions to the restaurant fight scene from Oldboy (the original korean movie, not the remake). And something from Bourne should be in the list. Bourne was a kind of predecessor to John Wick in that realistic/brutal fighting style for Hollywood movies.

Might not make the list but into the badlands with Daniel Wu has some fantastic fights in the series

Check out the fight scene from The Night Comes for Us. Between Iko Uwais and Joe Haslem. OMG!

The night come for us movie ,badas action, iko uwais vs joe taslim.

I enjoy Jet Li as well, Fist of Legend is a classic, held back a bit only by the noticeable speed up of some moves in the edit. I get that's a stylistic choice but for me I don't like how it chips away at the authenticity of the scene; other tricks like wire-fu (crouching tiger etc) isn't as bad to me because that just deliberately carries a movie into mystical / fantasy territory, and the viewer can let go of realism a bit.

ahhh i love tony ja

Martial Club final fight alleyway. The Victim final fight scene. Come to mind first for me just to name a few

There was a movie that was around the 2000s era fight scene in trying to find the fight scene was with a smaller frame fighter and a much larger fighter the smallest guy being the good guy in the movie .. he was losing in the fight with the bigger guy and ended up winning by cutting arteries and tendons in mobilizing the larger guy the resulting in him to just fall over from not being able to move does anybody recall a movie like that Death By A Thousand Cuts so to speak

man u forgot kung fu hustle lol that 3 hidden masters fight

Jackie Chan is one of the greatest, no one can match the way he seamlessly blends and switches between comedy and high octane martial arts

When The Raid 1 and 2 Come, Jhon Wick , Expendables and Fast Furious More like Senior High Schooll Fight Who get Filmed By Hollywood...😂😂😂😂

I would submit the final fight between Jet-Li and the Japanese military guy at the end of “Fist Of Legend.”

Wheels On Meals

instead of "all-time" you should use "modern. these are all dope picks but youd be more suprised at fight quality during the Shaw Bros era. try old schools like "fist of the white lotus" "masked avengers" "opium and the kung fu master" to name a few.

Public bus fight scene from Nobody

Man from nowhere, final fight scene.

Donnie Yen vs Jet Li once upon a time in China

Bru have you watched fighters in the wind ?

So there is this smaller known movies called Chocolate where it follows a girl and she is autistic and learned to fight in muay tai def check it out sometime

if u haven't Watch THE KILLER (2022) & The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil......then reach out to me.

Best fight scene in MA movies. Chuck Norris Vs Bruce Lee. For once the viewer sees the fight from the fighters mindset. Chuck Norris is initially faster, forcing Bruce Lee to switch from rigid to fluid stance, shuffling on the balls of his feet and counterstriking. Norris tries to copy him and fails. This speaks to BL's philosophy of MA: the ability to respond and adapt to any situation, like water. Finally, the warrior code: Norris insists on dying on the battle field rather than dying later from his injuries or being crippled for life. And then, the empathy Lee feels for Norris and his reluctance to kill him, etc. Name me a fight scene that works better as story and showcases the character of the fighters rather than delivering the sheer spectacle of a circus act?

FlashPoint Donnie yen.

John wick???? Seriously???

Ong bak 2.. fist of legend, ip man, kiss of the dragons, bruh crouching tiger is good yea but matrix, bruh if you doing best fight scenes western films shouldn't be on here
