Im so glad Jackie Chan was allowed to thrive in his unique style and wasn't forced to be a Bruce Lee replacement

The Raid, Mad Dog still fighting when stabbed in the neck was pure savage. A true definition of "don't know when to quit"

Jet Li vs. MMA Fighters in Cradle 2 the Grave could've made an honourable mention.

RIP Bruce Lee (1940-1973) and son Brandon Lee (1965-1993)

Jet Li Owns this list if we are being honest 🔥🔥🔥

Rama: “What’s the craziest enemy you’ve ever fought?” Ip Man: “An American soldier.” Rama: “I fought an assassin who uses Karambit knives.” Ip Man: “Oh my.”

Wheels on Meals was incredible! I'll never get over the kick that took out the candle fire.

The twins fight in Kiss of the Dragon was good, but the earlier fight against 30 police officers in the dojo was a better display of Jet Li's astounding speed.

This could be a full list of just "The Raid part 1&2 fights".

Jet Li was my guy growing up. Use to rent all his movies at blockbuster Once Upon a Time in China was my favorite

I know there are a few fights from The Raid movies already, but Rama vs Hammer Girl and Bat Boy was a standout in Raid 2. That last 360 camera pan when he kills Bat Boy *Chefs kiss*

That was really good, but. I was shocked 'Old boy', didn't get a mention.

Me casually pulling out my pen to write them movies down for re-watch😎

Thank you for this video, there is one major Martial Art movie wish you would have mentioned. A 2008 Thai movie called "Chocolate" starting actress JeeJa Yanin, its a story about an autistic girl who can mimic any martial artist by watching his moves. It was cool.

You left out Jet Li's fight at the army camp at the end of Tai- Chi master.

The end fight scenes in The Man From Nowhere. That was amazing!

I think the stairway scene in The Protector is better than the final fight. Its just so iconic to do it all in one shot, and sending the people falling down the center on a far drop is amazing. Tony Jaa will always be one of my favorites. Great list! I haven't seen a bunch of these, so thank yiou for making me aware of them. Drunken Master 2 also has a great scene where he fights an entire school and basically destroys a building while the people are in it by breaking the supports of the building and having it collapse. Thats another one which stands out in my mind, just for the sheer amount of extras that he fights, it seems like over a hundred!

The final fight of Drunken Master 2 (aka The Legend of Drunken Master) is still #1 for me. In the English version, Jackie's names for his moves are very random (ex: "monkey drinks master's wine", "eagle carries wine bottle", "uncle stirs the barrel", etc...). In the original version, however, he's actually naming the Eight Drunken Immortals from the first Drunken Master (1978): Lu Dongbin = the drunkard w/ inner strength [Jackie also plays him in The Forbidden Kingdom under the character's birth name] Zhang (Chan) Gualao = the drunkard w/ the swift double-kicks Lan Caihe = the drunkard w/ the sudden deadly waist attack He (Ho) Xiangu = the drunken woman flaunting her body Li Tieguai = the drunken cripple w/ the powerful right leg Han Xiangzi = the drunken flute player w/ the powerful wrists Cao (Tso) Guojiu = the drunkard w/ the powerful throat lock Zhongli (Jun) Quan = the drunkard holding a pot in his arms He reintroduces these mythical beings during the market fight, and then leaves it up to the audience to visually identify each one during the climactic match against Ken Lo's insane taekwondo. Hence, not only is it engaging audiences beyond just watching two people battle, but Jackie is also playing different characters as if doing an interpretive demonstration of their attributes. A perfect example of multilayered choreography that sets it apart from being just another typical martial arts fight scene.

I mean yeah Ip Man vs 10 Men at number 1 wasn’t surprising. Every now and then i come back to watch just this scene. Its amazing

I'm so glad you mentioned Flash Point! I was waiting for it lol. And Unleashed too. Mojo getting them deep cuts.

All of the martial arts movie fight scenes are my all-time favorites

Drunken Master is an absolute must watch

Great list, couldn´t have picked better scenes. Bravo WatchMojo!

Now if only they had a movie that uses The Drunken Fist... Now that would make for an interesting movie

Let's not count out the music by Mystikal during the 'Kiss of The Dragon' fight scene. The song is what made up half of why the scene was so good.

I'm a little sad that Wesley Snipes didn't at LEAST get an honorable mention for the end fight in Blade. Sure, it was a more "Americanized" fight scene with heavy hits and points for style more than technical prowess. BUT this list doesn't say "best choreographed fight scenes", it's when martial artists went "beast mode", and the end fight in Blade is nothing short beast mode. You got a jacked up Wesley Snipes as the titular Blade going on a vampire and familiar killing spree to get to the main bad guy combined with an energetic, EDM-style score. And of course Blade is doing things like.. ripping a one guys throat out to throw it at someone else, breaking bones, kicking people so hard they go flying, catching leg kicks and snapping legs in half, blocking and throwing flurries of brutal punches. And then when he gets his sword he happily utilizes that as well. So yea.. it's not a super lengthy fight scene that compares to Jackie Chan or Jet Li movies, but this list is about BEAST MODE... And that's some beast mode shit right there. Also.. the list didn't specify a scene had to be grounded in "reality", i.e. comic book movies like Blade aren't allowed because the protagonist has enhanced strength and power and what not. Just because Wesley Snipes was playing a vampire, I don't think that should disqualify him.

Benny the Jet extinguishing the candles is a highlight!

Im so glad wheels on meals jackie and benny fight made this list. I still think its one of the best choroeographed fights in a movie.

The last fight in Tony Jaa's "The Protector". It was at least worthy of an honorable mention.

you've done this list like 5 times but every time I still watch :D

No one fights ten black belts like Ip Man.

nice list!

Several scenes from A Company Man and Man From Nowhere come to mind. PS one of your best, Mojo. Quality work.

The bathroom fight in Unleashed was awesome. Seeing the normally composed Jet Li fighting in such brutal close quarters was a treat. Also just about every fight in Atomic Blond or Fury Road are definitely worth revisiting again and again. Monkey Man was a pleasant surprise in this respect too with brutal and realistic fights.

Alley fight in "Old Boy", the club fight in "Kill Bill"

#18: This was my favorite martial arts battle ever. 🎉

I am happy to see Legend of the Wolf making the list, so many good fights.

The entire final fight in the monastery from Armour of God is one of my favourite Jackie Chan 1-vs-many fight scenes. In regards to this list, I wouldn't have included The One. As unique as it was, I don't think it quite deserves to be there, but happy to see other Jet Li scenes make the list.

Awesome List

PART 2 PART 2 WE NEED A PART 2! This is one of your best lists of all time.

Jet Li is always the smallest guy in a fight, but that's why it's so satisfying to see him go into beast mode, and his hands are so quick

Great list! The fight scene with Gordon Liu tying up all the goons with his rooftop kung fu style in "Return to the 36th Chamber" is my all-time favorite. Also, I like the last fight scene in "Once Upon a Time in China 2" with Jet Li and Donnie Yen, and the fight scene under the train and dock with Jackie Chan and Lau Kar-Leung in "Drunken Master 2."

The choreography on all of these is absolutely jaw dropping! It is a miracle that no one was killed for real.

Idk I think Yu law fighting the entire prison at the end was and always will be a legendary moment. I just wish we had a whole movie about it 🤌🏽🙌🏼

I came here for Jet Li Jackie Chan Donnie Yen

I miss the A to Z videos. Why’d you stop making them?

Good list. I would've put in 1. Any fight scene from iron monkey 2. Kiss of the dragon karate room scene 3. Final fight in madam with cynthia rothrock amd michelle yeoh.

Great list! Shaolin vs Llama end fight was missed here though. Really most shaw brothers movies would have made this list

This is a good list. Any complaints i have are basically nit-picks. They have basically all of scenes that come to mind

The final fight in Dragonfist is astonishing. The way the crutch jackie Chan ueses gradually wears away stunned me as a kid.

Unleashed was my absolute favorite jet li movie. Also for kungfu cinema lovers, the game Sifu has challenge stages set to several different famous fight scenes you get to play out. From parts like the pit scene from Unleashed, to Neo vs an army of agent smiths. Got to appreciate the skill in these masters.

I'm the movie The Perfect Weapon, there's a fight where the hero takes on three Martial artists in a gym all at once. He goes off (on one of them in particular) using his Kenpo Karate. Awesome scene.

How's is fearless not here with the battle in the restaurant. There is nothing more brutal than that fight, and technicality is through the roof.

Hearing there is an Ip Man 5 coming is surprising because not only did I not know, but I remember Donnie Yen kept saying he wants to leave the role, but then he always come back to it. Also, I remember when I first saw Ip Man. It was wild. I dont doubt there have been Ip Man movies before that 1st one with Donnie Yen, but it feels like ever since that movie they havent been able to stop making movies about him lol. Not just the Ip Man franchise, but theres Grandmaster, The Legend is Born, a Chinese tv series, Ip Man and the 4 Kings, Kung Fu Master, and more.

Jet Li in Kiss of the Dragon versus all the cops training Karate.

There are some coming to mind…especially wo jing in „fatal contact“…the 3 vs. 3 fight in the belly of a ship when he activates complete beast mode at the end against the professional fighter and throws a storm of elbows.😍

Donnie Yen and Jet Li makes the best fighting scene because they always try to kill each other for real

Thank God you got Unleashed in there. Couldn’t believe the brutality of the fights all the way through this. Bloody Awesome film 🤟🏻

These moments were awesome

This is why I love martial arts action!

Bro teasing us with that mad dog fight

Kiss of the dragon was bad*ss!

Even though it’s only TV Johnny Lawrence went beast mode when he’s drunk

I dont know if it counts as 'Beast Mode' but the Liu Kang vs Reptile fight (Robin Shou) in Mortal Kombat (1995) is quite intense, and probably the best fight in that movie.

Danny the dog doing Doggy style Kungfu.

Maybe not "Beast" but the typical Jackie Chan fight, but I'm missing the final fight of the Movie "Gorgeous" here. Jackie Chan VS the late Bradley James Allen.

The raid kitchen fight , when i watched it for the first time i was in complete awe ... 😢

That No. 3 is by far the most epic fight Jackie Chan ever partook in in his movies. It's not the same rigid dance like coreography like what we had in the first movie, but nice freestyling, and still pulling off the most insane moves. Every hit landed feels as real and as painful as it comes. Awesome stuff from Jackie.

Tony Jaa in The Protecter was dope. Single camera, one take for like 10 minutes of him going upstairs whoopin ass is probably my favorite martial arts fighting scenes. They said he was exhausted after that scene. Hope it’s on the list, if not then damnit it should be!

The night comes for us is wildly crazy and brutal. Love that flick

I like martial art movie!! Watch while eat popcorn!! Achooo Wataaow 😎👊🏻

Great list, if that #1 was something different I wouldn’t rioted somewhere

Ip man vs 10 blackbelt❌ Kungfu hustle final fight✅

Have to say that Transporter fight is a personal favourite 🤟🏻

Some of the fight scenes in the warrior series were also awesome

Iron Monkey never gets any love.

17:02 this my number 1 , watched this fight a dozen times, iko uwais will always be my favorite 💯 but this video is valid

Do Top 20 Most Epic Explosions In Action Movies

Jason Statham was in The One in 2001, but barely had any fight scenes, but then kicked all the asses in The Transporter just a year later.

The protector is one of those martial arts movies thats truely awesome and more impressive due to the stunts being authentic. Highly recommended.

How you could leave out Jackie Chan vs Jet Li fight from The Forbidden Kingdom is beyond me!

Jet Li is my favourite. The scene in the training room at the end of 'Kiss of the Dragon' is just top notch.

Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris. Roddy Piper vs. Keith David.

I guessed the number 1 before clicking play 😅 This list definitely needs a part 2. I will say though about Unleashed, i would have changed it to the pool fight where Jet Li fights four martial arts fighters at once, at first he tries not to fight back before he finally goes beast. The lead opponent in that fight is played by Master Silvio Simac, my martial arts Master and teacher! 👊

I love martial arts movies plus the prison fight scene in Blood and Bone was badass

Gotta love how the list is basically just Donnie Yen,Jet Li and Jackie Chan

Jet Li’s Fist of Legend was my Grandpa’s first Kung Fu movie, he wasn’t normally one for violent movies like that but he enjoyed that final fight!

Fist of Legend was goated. Too many beast mode Jet Li moments in that film. Especially at the classroom and dojo fight

How about top 20 brutal knockout scenes inside the octagon ring?

These are all good but I think we've forgotten how hard the Turtles went against the Shredder during the roof top fight

the forbidden kingdom has some amazing fights. the drunken immortal vs the silent monk has to be my fav though

A cool story about drunken kung fu is that there's 8 styles based on individuals of the 8 immortals during a party that got rowdy. Don't know the full story, but the 8 immortals started a fight while all drunk and each did an individual style of fighting. I think I read that Jackie Chan demonstrates all 8 in one of the movies.

No 6, was my favourite in childhood

The One has implemented one of the first multiverse concepts in cinema, and one of (if not the only) time where Jason Statham has hair.

Donnie Yen's SPL alley fight an "Honorable Mention"...I'm mad at yall lol

I enjoyed Jet Li’s Romeo Must Die fight with Russel Wong at the end. This list is pretty good too.

Funny thing about the final fight of the Raid 2; the bad guy with the Kerambit knives, actually knows how to use them lethally, but, his actual profession is an English teacher. A funny contrast.

I can't believe that the fight from "The One" is only #17. BTS info says they had to film that fight with a high speed camera, then slow it down for the movie, so you could SEE what was happening, because Jet went all out in it. It is why the sparks seem to fall so slowly while Jet is moving at "regular" speed.
