Guest D1 Ma Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 What fights do you think were the best in 2006? I don't mean the whole movie, just the fights. It's not like there are lots of choices, but still... My list: 1 - Fatal Contact 2 - Fearless( although, it had the best weapons fights) 3 - City of Violence 4 - Rob-B-Hood 5 - Tiger Dragon Gate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chen Zhen Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 that duel to the death in the middle of Fearless easily wins it for me..altho, fatal contact had quite a few standout fights. nothing else this year outside the fights in Fearless and Fatal Contact impressed me.

Guest morgoth Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Duel to the death with the swords in Fearless for sure. I would have liked a little hand to hand but it is still such an amazing scene. Easily my pick for movie of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tigerstyles Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 TOM YUM GOONG multiple attackers in suits and Nathan Jones battle end fight. Fearless for HK style is on top 3rd place SPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morgoth Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Oops, totally forgot about Tom Yum Goong. Can't wait until it shows up at Best Buy pretty soon here so I can see the whole version. I would say this movie has at least 3 fights that compare to Fearless. And that would be the fight up the stairs, the capoiera guy, and the bone disclocating scene. It just doesn't get better than Tony Jaa in his prime. Hopefully this guy can keep up that incredible screen style he has for a while. It looks pretty physically demanding to say the least.

Guest D1 Ma Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 C'mon, guys, TYG and SPL were made in 2005! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fabhui Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 My top 3 would be the following based purely on the entertainment of the fight sequences, although 'City Of violence' would still be in the top posistion no matter what (top film!!!) : 1. City Of violence 2. Tom Yum Goong 3. Fearless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morgoth Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Sorry, I just remember The Protector coming to US at same time as Fearless. My mistake. Oh yeah, and SPL too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chinatown Kid Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I loved the fights in The Protector and the fights Donnie has with Jing Wu and Sammo in SPL but wasn't too crazy over Fearless, I liked Jet's fights better in Danny The Dog.

Guest morgoth Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 While I am biased since I loved Fearless and could name all of my fights in order, I have to say that the sword fight was one of THE best fights I have seen in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chinatown Kid Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Well if SPL and The Protector were made in 2005 I'll have to go with Fearless then. There's no denying the fights were well choreographed in the traditional period style, I just hate the way it ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morgoth Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 The end was a great scene. Not presented as well as it could have been but jet just sold it so well. Not often I have to mention that I may have cried a little bit. Wait, NO I DIDN'T! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chinatown Kid Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hey there's no shame in admitting that man, it was a sad ending that Jet handled well. I guess I just prefer those happy endings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morgoth Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 While I didn't get the old crazy guy the movie had some good upbeat and comical moments. I do like movies on the darker side though. Requiem For a Dream is one of my fav. movies ever. Fearless is my favorite movie that I have seen in probably at least couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theportlykicker Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I haven't seen that much this year to be honest, with only the duel to the death in Fearless really impressing me. Some fights in Fatal Contact were pretty good too. I've had far more entertainment watching indie stuff this year. These fights, in particular, rocked: Wild- This one's awesome! Cha Cha Chinaman- So is this! I doubt anyone here will watch any of these, but I thought they were great nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shun Fist Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I guess i'm not on top of things, but what does SPL stand for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Riceboy2000 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Sha Po Lang or something like that. I think its basically the pin ying of the chinese title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chen Zhen Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Sha Po Lang. its in reference to chinese astrology which is explained in the opening fo the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest limubai2000 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 1. Fearless 2. TYG 3. SPL 4. Dragon Tiger Gate I haven't seen Fatal Contact or City of Violence yet. And who cares if TYG and SPL came out in 2005, most of us saw them in 2006! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Running Man Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Seeing as how it's a HK film it's more preferable to use Cantonese for what the name stands for, despite what the back of the HK DVD says which annoyingly uses the Mandarin, and it would be, "Sau Po Long". If you watch the film, you'll know exactly what it stands for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morgoth Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I don't like SPL, they should have called it Killzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Running Man Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Too bad since that's what the movie's about. Killzone has nothing to do with the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
