Member DrNgor Posted August 1, 2021 Member Share Posted August 1, 2021 Today I was watching Beach of the War Gods (1973) and started thinking about the longest fight scenes out there. Some of the top ones I'm aware of: Beach of the War Gods (1973) - The last battle runs about 36:20 if you start counting when the swordplay begins (add a few more minutes if you start with the traps at the beach) Shaolin Temple (1976) - The raid on the temple takes up about 26-27 minutes of screen time. Superior Youngster (1973) - Climax - 25:41 10 Tigers of Shaolin (1978) - The climax lasts 24:35. Tough Guy (1972) - Climax - 21:09 Kung Fu, the Invisible Fist aka Tiger vs. Dragon (1972) - Chan Sing vs. Yasuaki Kurata - 20:50 Kung Fu Means Fists, Strikes and Swords (1978) - Final fight lasts 20:28 (give or take). The Young Master (1980) - Jackie Chan vs. Whang In-Sik - 17 minutes Buddha Assassinator (1980) - Meng Hoi vs. killers, Lung Fei, Hou Po-Wei, and finally Legendary Superkicker Hwang Jang Lee. Rebellious Reign (1980) - Big final blowout - 14:20 Secret Rivals II (1977) - John Liu and Tino Wong vs. Legendary Superkicker Hwang Jang Lee and his killers - 13:05 Drunken Master II (1994) - The entire foundry sequence at the end - 13:00+ Any others that you all can add? 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough Guy(1972), Superior Youngster(1973) & Black Panther(1973) are the first three titles that springs to mind. There's plenty of old school Basher's that have extended finales. In particular the ones made in Taiwan, like Black Panther. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DrNgor Posted August 3, 2021 Author Member Share Posted August 3, 2021 Thanks for the submissions, guys! I'll update the original post. Does someone have a copy of Shaolin Rescuers that they could time the final fight with? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Panther is a difficult one: the final one-on-one is only 8 minutes long. It is preceded by tragic dramatic segment which itself is preceded by a very long fight sequence. I'm debating on whether or not to include it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill check some of my older reviews, to see if I can find anymore suggestions. There must be a few Cliff Lok movies that fit the bill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted August 3, 2021 Member Share Posted August 3, 2021 How long does Liu and Kurata's finale in Heroes of the East run? And isn't the finale of Secret Rivals 2 supposed to be a long one? Been a while since I watched it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Released after Call Me Dragon which did very well in theatres where I grew up but Little Superman was outstanding at the time. I think Little Superman had one of the most vicious end fights in those days but I have doubts whether that end fight was longer (cut or uncut) than the titles already mentioned so far in this thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member MobFu1972 Posted August 6, 2021 Member Share Posted August 6, 2021 Boxer From Shantung is pretty long as well. I just order the HK Blu-ray. I will watch it and set the timer. 👊👍👊👍👊👍✔✔✔ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Kwok Choi, its a epic throwdown but like you said its probably not the longest when compared to others. The first time I saw it was in the late 90's, and still held up well then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The finale to Call Me Dragon runs a little longer than ten minutes, while the finale to Little Superman is about nine minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ShawAngela Posted August 8, 2021 Member Share Posted August 8, 2021 Drunken Master II, maybe ? Not only Jackie's fight, but the whole fight from the moment Jackie and his friend arrive at the factory until he wins the fight. I don't have a timer on my portable player, so, I can't see how long the fights last, sorry if I post titles that don't fit the thread... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
