The 100 Greatest Movie Fist Fights (with Video!)

If Scott had read his e-mail, he would have known that Ramona's first evil ex-boyfriend would be swooping in during the Sex Bob-omb show to knock him out and turn him into a pile of coins. Scott didn't read his e-mail, Scott wasn't prepared, Scott had to pull a K.O. out of his ass.

Walter Hill's Hard Times drops the fancy camera work and strips the fist fight down to the bare bones. It's just Charles Bronson, some dude, no shirts and a hell of a lot of contact punching. This is how real men fight.

For whatever, performing the "Crane" back in high school always led to us getting our asses handed to us, but for Daniel-san, seems to be the go-to way to put a douchebag in his place. Sorry Johnny, you're a dick. If Sensai told you to jump off a bridge, would you? Oh you would? Jump off a bridge.

The Bourne series reaches a pinnacle of barf bag worthy fight scenes in this moment from Ultimatum, where Bourne finally catches up to his on-the-run nemesis. During particular moments, we're so close to the kicks and punches that we may actually be witnessing the fight from up Matt Damon's nose (fact yet to be confirmed).

Quantifying Jackie Chan's contribution to the art of hand-to-hand combat is near impossible - the man is a true master. The Legend of Drunken Master (aka Drunken Master II) is one of the best examples, a movie where Chan balances clowning and kicking ass seemlessly, like a kung fu version of Arthur.

A fight between Spencer Tracey and Ernest Borgnine would be up there on a list if only for their star power, but when you factor in that Tracey's character Macreedy only has one arm, the fight becomes that much cooler. After ruffling his feathers at a bar, Borgnine's Coley Trimble feels the wrath of the one-armed man, and amputees everywhere.

Special Olympics this, motherf*cker.

Sean Connery's Bond should have sprung for the bigger car. That way, when he's grappling with Russian assassins, he'll have more of a swing in his punch. It's all about the wind-up and follow through, any 007 will tell you that.

Watch James help an assassin exit the train between stops in From Russia with Love.

The subway platform end fight of The Matrix is the epitome of why the original flick rules and the sequels...well that one scene in Matrix Revolutions is pretty out of context.

Neo keeps it simple after attaining a transcendental state of being. He's not quite the "One," but he's getting there. Resurrection gave him just enough power to whap Agent Smith into next Tuesday, and stop a few bullets along the way. Whoa - he knows kung fu!

The fight scene to end all fight scenes. John Carpenter's sci-fi flick is notorious for a handful of reasons - it's about aliens who you can only see with magic sunglasses, for pete's sake - but the six-minute continuous fight scene between Roddy Piper and Keith David is what keeps the legacy going. By minute four, you wonder if the two men will be so tired they just take a two or three minute break before grappling each other again.
