A lot of tv and movie fights are just boring or over the top - which fight scenes do you love, F!S?

I've been re-watching 'The Closer', and one scene in particular stands out to me. Season 6, ep. 11, Det. Andy Flynn is attacked after an AA meeting, and fights off his attacker. I love it because they're using brute force and random objects (wind shield wiper blade, seat belt, among others) as weapons, doing all the weird, desperate things people do when they're fighting for their life and don't have weapons all over their body and/or amazing Kung Fu! skills.

I love the elevator fight scene from Captain America: Winter Soldier. https://youtu.be/jqIBGEcKhGs

It is fun to see a fights in small places like that. Especially when one character is so handicapped during the fight.

YES. I watched a behind-the-scenes about that particular fight - it looked very difficult to stage, but what a result!

*watches again* I love how Cap pretty much knows something is up from minute one.

The elevator fight scene is one of the greatest moments in MCU history. It also cemented why Cap is my favorite of the MCU characters.

Yesssss, I love the moments leading up to it as well. Just a good scene in general.

That battle scene in last season's GoT was fucking epic. The chaos and the sense of dread were palpable.

I saw parts of it in an amazing fanvid - it *looked* epic, and horrible, and claustrophobic and ugly as hell (in that really good way).

Aaaaand, I can't find the vid now. Of course. *sigh*

Yes! It genuinely made me think that Jon was going to die. The VFX reel is pretty awesome as well. https://youtu.be/HBAc9Bldeg0

The Brienne/Hound showdown in season 4 of Game Of Thrones was fucking amazing and horrifying. It's rare that I'm rooting equally for both characters in a fight scene. I love both of them so much, yet I knew one of them was going to die which made it all the more upsetting.

!!! I only know Brienne through comments here and stuff from Tumblr - she seems amazing. Now I'm scared to ask who won!

That is one of the best fights scenes ever! I was watching from behind my hands because I love them both and I'm rarely so invested in the outcome of a fight scene. Usually there's the clear cut good guy and bad guy and you know who's going to win.

I've enjoyed a lot of the fight scenes in red vs blue

I googled that once and watched bits. It seemed interesting, if very different. :)

The hallway fight scene in Daredevil S1 is amazing. (It's also an homage to Oldboy...)

I saw that! Very cool. :)
That icon is mesmerizing. I love the head toss.... :)

1. Much of original Matrix
2. Pretty much everything with MCU!Cap, because I adore the character.
3. Any scene with Hundred Eyes in the Netflix Marco Polo. (Actually, I enjoy most of the fight scenes in that series.)

Do they have to be solely fist fights?

I love the kill-all-the-hitmen! fight in his house and the club fight in "John Wick" - it's ridiculously smooth and awesome, but there are moments of "oh shit, lemme just improv here". That entire movie is basically a great fight scene.

"Haywire" also has several fantastic fight scenes - courtesy of having an actress that actually knows how to fight instead of just pretending at it. The story leaves something to be desired, but the fight in the hotel room alone is worth the watch.

The fight in the run-down house in "Jack Reacher" is pretty great too - lots of close-quarters, frantic maneuvering.

The disc fight scenes in Tron Legacy (I really love tricking).
A lot of the fight scenes in (the original) Banlieue 13.
And as camp as it might be, I did like the Equilibrium fight scenes.
There are also quite a few interestiong fight scenes in WuJi/The Promise, especially those involving bladed fans.
(Pretty sure I forgot quite a few because I love martial arts movies but it's late and Zzzzz.)

The church scene in Kingsman: The Secret Service. It's totally & absolutely over the top, but that's why I love it. It's so good.

I also like Cameron punching Joey in the face in 10 Things I Hate About You, and of course, George McFly punching Biff Tannen in the face in Back to the Future, though I don't know that those count as fight scenes, since they're literally just one character punching another in the face. They're just really satisfying to watch, every time.

And one time I watched an episode of Prison Break because Ian Bohen was in it, and I remember thinking it had a fight scene that was well choreographed.

Two favorites leap immediately to mind: the final fight between James Bond and Alec Trevelyan in Goldeneye, and Dean Winchester vs. a whole bunch of demons in the episode First Born. They're both fast and brutal, and involve characters interacting with the environment they're in, improvising weapons, etc.

It's a bit ridiculous (in a good way), but this scene from Phineas and Ferb:

~Fight, fight, there's a platypus fight
it's a fracas, it's a fray, it's a monotreme melee~

The final fight in Scaramouche - https://youtu.be/B3X4N0SpF2g?t=3m11s
Sir Guy vs Robin Hood - https://youtu.be/4MqmpL6X_8w

I'm a sucker for a good duel

I agree with a lot of the things posted here (like the Winter Soldier elevator scene, wow), so I'll post a different one - I always liked the motorcycle chase from FFVII Advent Children.
It's so ridiculously OTT, and the part where he jumps the motorcycle into the helicopter slays me every time. I love it.

I always really enjoyed the fights in AtLA.

Also, pretty much anything with Jason Statham, but especially the one on the basketball court in The Expendables.
