OLIVER K'S TOP 15 FIGHT SCENES OF 2023

 Okay, so depending on where you live, tomorrow is the official last day of 2023. This year has been an amazing year. At school, at home, and with action films! Thank you for reading my blog this year. Today, I'm going to be showing you in my opinion - the best fight scenes from every movie I've watched this year! 

DIE HARD - McClane vs. Karl

The thing I love most about the fight scene is that John is so angry he just punches him 10 times in a row. We also get to see John get beat up. It shows that he's not a superman unlike most main characters in action movies. He gets punched. He gets tired. I have to say for an American fight scene this is really good.  The cinematography is good as well. Beautiful lighting, and NO shaky cams! But the highlight of the fight is the end where McClane hangs Karl from his neck with a chain and just leaves him swinging there. But what people really love about this is the line "I'm gonna cook you and I'm gonna eat you!" from McClane. Might be the best five minutes of the whole thing.

DIE HARD - Shoot The Glass

When I first watched this film, I thought John said "No bullets. F**king stupid arse." Nope. He said " No bullets. You think I'm f***ing stupid, Hans?" But the misheard line is way more funnier. Aside from that, 2 seconds after that line, the best fight scene in Die Hard commences. The shootout. Normally when I watch films, in the fight scenes I look for combat. Punches, kicks, all that stuff. This fight scene doesn't have any of that, yet it's still a REALLY good scene. It's a 1v3, and the 3 villians have more powerful guns. Guess who wins.

Hint: this is a fictional movie.

POLICE STORY - The Climatic Fight

This fight scene is some of Jackie Chan's best work! It's a 2v20 or something and Chan still wins. The realism and epicness in the fight scene is amazing. No shaky cams, just glass breaking and butt-kicking!

WHEELS ON MEALS - STORMING THE CASTLE (THOMAS VS. THUG)

Oh. My. God. Hell yes! This film itself is amazing, but the final fight scene is the cherry on top! A martial artist and a kickboxer meeting sounds weird until you watch this movie. This fight scene is an absolute masterpiece. You haven't watched movies until you watch Wheels on Meals.

HONORABLE MENTION #3

YES MADAM - AN UNEXPECTED ENDING

AWWWWWEEEEESSSSOOOOOOMEEEEE

Wow. Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock - their first films and one of their bests! Just 10 minutes can show the talent of the actors, directors and fight choreographers. The trailer says that Yeoh is Samo Hung (Project A, Eastern Condors, Dragons Forever, Wheels on Meals, Enter the Fat Dragon 1978, Burger Cop)'s favourite actress. Hard to believe Michelle Yeoh isn't everybody's favourite.

HONORABLE MENTION #2 

THE EAGLE'S SHADOW - Pai vs. Sheng & Sheng vs. Chien

 

Snake in the Eagle's Shadow has 3 "finales" and 2 of them are super good, so I decided to put both of them in the list! Huang-Cheng Li is blessed with the power of kicking, and his role as the villian is amazing. He is amazingly intimidating and I would NOT want to meet this guy in real life. Simon Yuen was 65 years old in this movie, and he was the one doing all those jumps and kicks and tricks and flips. Everyone who worked on this film were very talented (Jackie and Huang still are)

HONORABLE MENTION #1

 YOUNG MASTER - JACKIE VS. THE BIG BOSS

 

This is Jackie's first fight with Wong In Shik. Dragon Lord is the second one, which is a sequel to this film. I'm not saying Dragon Lord's is bad, but this one is just slightly better and it's also longer in length. If I made a list of my 100 favourite fight scenes ever, Dragon Lord's climax would probably be at 15 or 20. Okay. So this fight scene is on a mountain between two Kung fu legends (and one of them has fought BRUCE LEE!) and it goes on for 20 minutes and Jackie Chan is losing until he drinks tobacco. What's not to like?

 some other pretty good honorable mentions:

dragon and bull vs. the big boss - dragon lord (1982)

the ax gang - drunken master 2 (1994)

jackie vs. luke vs. tung - dragons forever (1988)

road fight - police story (1985)

training facility - supercop (1996)

hulk vs thor - ragnarok (2017)

AND THE BEST FIGHT SCENE OF 2023 IS:

DRUNKEN MASTER II - MEN IN BATTLE

Drunken Master 2 is the finest installment in the Drunken Master series. Dance of the Drunk Mantis, Story of Drunken Master, Drunken Master & Drunken Master III wish they were as epic as this film! The fight scene (which is 3 back to back fights for about 20 minutes) are the highlight of the film. You need to watch Drunken Master 2 as soon as possible, no matter which version of the movie.

ok bye
