RE: RT's 20 Greatest Fight Scenes Ever - Now Disc: 12. Bruce Lee vs. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
|
11. Charlie's Angels
The Angels vs. Crispin Glover
As George McFly in Back to the Future, Crispin Glover proved he could go toe-to-toe with almost anyone when he felled Biff with some well-placed blows to the jaw. But he's no match for Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, and Drew Barrymore, who, after dodging swords and bullets, use some innovative teamwork to merge into one mean crime-fighting machine. This hyper-stylized brawl has a kicky (pun intended), gravity-defying energy courtesy of legendary fight choreographer Yuen Woo Ping.

It's alright, it didn't appeal to me as much as the other fights.

Bruce Lee vs Kareem was cut up. A few years ago a documentary was released called "Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey" and they reassembled much of the footage from Lee's "Game of Death." The fight with Kareem is a lot longer and the sunglasses he wears makes more sense. He is sensitive to light, so Lee smashes through the paper walls to let in more light and uses that to defeat Kareem. The documentary is terrific and shows how far Lee was progressing as a filmmaker.
The Angels fight is just silly. With Barrymore trash talking with her horrible lisp "kicking you ath" to the Matrix style camera. Not even master Yuen could give these girls credibility. BTW Glover has only been dangerous one time in his life & that was when he was whacked out on drugs & nearly kicked Letterman in the face.

10. The Bourne Ultimatum
Bourne vs. Desh
How did Jason Bourne obtain his sick fighting skills? It's one of the questions that torments our hero throughout the Bourne series. However, one thing's for sure: however he got them, he sure knows how to employ them. Bourne's hand-to-hand proclivities are perhaps best showcased in the Bourne Ultimatum, as J.B. jumps off a roof through a window to throw down with the guy sent to kill him; he then proceeds to demonstrate a new meaning for "book smart", and how a hand towel can be used to disarm an attacker.
Great fight scene, should probably be higher. All three of the Bourne movies excel in the fighting/chase scenes, but this whole chase/fight is one of the best I've ever seen.

9. The Transporter
Jason Statham vs. everybody in the bus depot
It's the age-old complaint of action-phobes: "Why do the bad guys just stand around while the hero wrecks shop? Why don't they all go at him at once?" In the case of The Transporter, a score of goons try just that -- and it still doesn't work! Trapped in a bus depot, the ever-enterprising Jason Statham uses just about everything at his disposal, from barrels of oil to the bad guys themselves. He even displays how a long-sleeve shirt can be used to keep multiple attackers at bay.

8. Snatch
Brad Pitt vs. Elwin "Chopper" David
Forget Fight Club -- Snatch features Brad Pitt's onscreen pugilistic pinnacle. Pitt plays the thickly-brogued bare-knuckle brawler Mickey O'Neil, a knockout artist so skilled -- and so undisciplined -- that he can't bring himself to throw a fight, even with fortunes and lives on the line. Director Guy Ritchie's stylistic trademarks -- super slow-mo, gonzo sound effects, a thumping soundtrack -- are all on display, as O'Neil absorbs a staggering amount of punishment before landing the final blow.
I love this film. Brad Pitt is a total B.A. in this!

Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won,
whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.
