Member DrNgor Posted January 11, 2022 Member Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) In conjunction with the other thread I opened, I'm creating this thread for us to rate our favorite fights from movies with multiple classic fights. Every week I'll edit the poll and post Youtube clips of the fights, should they be available. I'd like as many of you all to vote as possible. I'll post the results at the end of the week and update the other thread, too. Edited January 25, 2023 by DrNgor 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted January 24, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 24, 2022 Wow, I expected the Biao & Lam Ching-Ying fight to come out tops, but by such a wide margin is still surprising to see considering it’s beating a finale with Sammo being choreographed by Yuen Woo-Ping! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the only one who voted for that fight. I'm a sucker for fights where all Five Animals get a chance to shine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ShaOW!linDude Posted January 24, 2022 Member Share Posted January 24, 2022 Jaa vs Sibtid - hard to beat a double knee drop that literally drives your opponent through the floor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member paimeifist Posted January 24, 2022 Member Share Posted January 24, 2022 I’ll have to go with the club fight, I like the variety and im a sucker for breaking furniture in fight scenes. Jaa vs Sibtid definitely a close second though. Gotta love that over-kill ending that @ShaOW!linDude pointed out. It looks like it fits more with a 70s Chang Cheh movie than a modern flick! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Omni Dragon Posted January 29, 2022 Member Share Posted January 29, 2022 It was difficult to decide but still, I voted for 'Tony Jaa vs henchmen in the cave'. I voted based on what was in the YouTube video, which in away was like 3 different scenes: the long take outside the cave, the fight in low lighting with the staff and mai sok (tonfa like weapon) and the fight against the henchmen with the statue of Buddha in the background (which to me at least almost felt like a showreel with some of Jaa's flashiest moves). I admit though it lacked some of the intensity of 'Tony Jaa vs Saming Sibtid' which was a very close second for me. On a different day I might have picked that. On a sidenote as someone so used to the Richard Wells music on the Premier Asia version, watching those YouTube videos it almost felt as though the fights had been slowed down at times lol. Of course, it was more to do with the changing pace of the music than anything else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DrNgor Posted January 30, 2022 Author Member Share Posted January 30, 2022 Last call for Ong Bak votes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted January 30, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2022 I'll go for Jaa vs. Pantana-Angkul (sorry, can't do the whole using a characters name and actors name in the same sentence deal!). It was the closest we get to a worthy adversary for Jaa in 'Ong Bak', even then it wasn't that compelling since it basically suggested that for Panatana-Angkul to stand any chance against Jaa, he needed to inject himself full of steroids. Removing the plot context though and based on pure physicality, it's a winner, and that finishing move is up there with the Ip Man chain punch in terms of moments of choreography that broke through into popular culture. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DrNgor Posted January 31, 2022 Author Member Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) We didn't have as good a turn-out last week. I hope this week fares better. The results: 1. (tie) Tony Jaa vs. Henchmen in Cave (37.5%) and Tony Jaa vs. Pantana-Angkul (37.5%) 2. Tony Jaa Club fight (25%) Edited February 1, 2022 by DrNgor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
