This one is so fun to watch.

I've always loved the hallway fight from Oldboy.

Probably peak 1 on 1 fight of the decade:

I've seen a lot of fight scenes in my day, and this one will still be the single best fight ever put on film to me, and I'm not sure I'll see one better for a long time.

While Oldboy is an amazing movie, and this scene is really incredibly shot and a great moment in the movie, I've always been a little let down by the actual choreography and "enjoyment" factor of this scene. It's impressive, but not really fun to watch? It's hard to explain.

I think that's why I like it? Like, it doesn't feel like a super choreographed thing. It's sloppy and desperate, the way I would imagine a fight like this would play out in real life.

Kurosawa nailed it back in 1950:

I still like the final fight in Bloodsport:

This. This right here.

Alternatively the hotel room scene in Before Midnight. Though it has no choreography or fisticuffs to speak of.

Donnie Yen vs Wu Jing in SPL too, so much stakes and brutality in this fight

This movie blew me away when I first saw it. It was my introduction to Donnie Yen. The final fight with Sammo Hung is awesome too. Hung is the coolest.
He and Donnie Yen need to have some sort of role in Shang Chi.

Jackie Chan put so much into his old stuff that it really is still way above just about everything else. No stupid cuts to hide impact, great storytelling in the fight scenes, and people actually sell the fatigue of the battle as it goes on.

I loooooove the OG Drunken Master. So many wonderful fights.

Jesus. That was brutal. Almost TOO fast to follow. Really good stuff.

The moderfucking chiaroscuro in that scene!

the last ten minutes of Hong Kong Godfather. one of my all time fav action scenes and one of the GOAT endings in cinema, IMO.

Might not be the best, but I love how raw it is

I've been thinking about the final fight scene from The Raid: Redemption a lot recently. I felt like I was watching the Double Dragons fight the final boss in live-action. The coordination between the three actors is remarkable.

I saw this in theaters while pretty drunk with some friends, and I remember saying out loud after that throat drag with the broken lightbulb, "If he gets back up, I'm fucking out of here." That fight scene was insanity.

I'd say that the Legend of Drunken Master final sequence w/ Jackie Chan is definitely one of my favorites of all time.

I'll also go the way of the sacrilegious and say that I feel like Jet Li tribute film Fist of Legend had a better final fight scene than the Bruce Lee original Fist of Fury:

There's some incredible fight scenes from Jackie Chans old school films, so if there is a best fight scene, its definitely coming from there. I will say the restroom fight scene in the recent Mission Impossible movie was pretty badass as well.
