  • Thank you.

  • Number 10 Maximus versus Tigris of Gaul.

  • Gladiator.

  • My name is Maximus Decimus, Merida's commander of the armies of the North General of the Felix legions e loyal servant to the true emperor Marcus Aurelius.

  • Claiming our 10th spot is this epic sword fight between the imposing Tigris of Gaul and Russell Crowe's Maximus for his Oscar winning performance as the Roman general turned reluctant gladiator.

  • Crow lost an astounding £40 while honing his sword fighting skills and working on a farm.

  • And it shows in this nearly four minute long about where he manages to fend off tigers and man alike.

  • The clanking of heavy metal swords, combined with the emotions from the Coliseum crowd, ravenous for blood, make this battle of feast for the senses.

  • Given its crucial timing and importance in the story, this fight turns out to be one of the most memorable moments in the film filled with them.

  • Number nine.

  • Train Fight from Russia with Love.

  • The fact that this fight seemed barely looks dated after roughly 60 years is a testament to bonds timelessness, Of course, this was back when James Bond could break a sweat, shed a little blood and kill a man, yet still look fashionable and suave as hell, adjusting his tie seconds later.

  • Having said that, the fight is as real as they come, with both men desperately grappling with each other in the tight quarters of the train cabin.

  • The intensity of the fight, the dynamic and Connery's calm coolness both before and after make this an iconic standoff between hero and villain number eight bullfight, raging boll well from De Niro's dramatic body transformation to the beautiful camera movement to the use of silence right on down through the fast paced, artful editing, this fight scene has it all.

  • Never has having the literal snot beaten out of you look so good, so poetic.

  • He has LaMotta on Queer Street holding off.

  • Well, Certainly, that was one of the most damaging evidences of punching that you have seen in recent years.

  • It's a scene that perfectly captures Jakes disintegration Throughout the rest of the film.

  • We watched as the Nero's Jake LaMotta descends into darkness and oblivion, and all we're left to wonder is, How did this movie lose best picture to ordinary people?

  • Because I don't know if I love you anymore.

  • I don't know what I'm going to do without that.

  • Okay, we're only kidding.

  • Ordinary people had us in tears, but any other year it would have been a crime.

  • Number seven Jason Bourne is born to fight The Bourne Ultimatum.

  • It's rare to have fight scenes that don't need music to amp up the intensity.

  • But in some scenes, masterful choreography and adept actors sparkle all on their own.

  • That's precisely the case with our seventh entry from 2007.

  • The Bourne Ultimatum.

  • Yeah, though it only lasts about two minutes.

  • Jason borns fight with Dash is so fast and so well orchestrated that it becomes immediately engrossing.

  • Keith.

  • Yeah.

  • The use of household items as dangerous weapons just adds to the cool factor.

  • But it's the pure undocked ird sound that makes the scene so visceral.

  • Yeah, on to think that Matt Damon wasn't even the first choice to play the role Number six elevator ass kicking Captain America, The Winter Soldier.

  • What's more badass than single handedly taking out a pack of Hydra agents and a glassed in elevator?

  • No, that, well, apparently five Mawr things.

  • But still, this fight from 2014 Captain America Winter Soldier is pretty awesome.

  • Before we get started, does anyone want to get out from Chris Evans self assurance to great sound effects and high tech gadgets?

  • This fight pulls no punches and hits all the right notes.

  • Evans had a pack on about £30 of muscle for the role training twice daily for months, and we're glad he did, because legend has it that Dane Cook at one point auditioned for the part, and John Krasinski was also seriously considered.

  • And let's face it, Chris Evans embodied the role like no one else could.

  • It kind of feels personal.

  • Number five.

  • The Bride versus Crazy 88 Kill Bill Volume one.

  • What do you get when you cross kung fu with UMA Thurman?

  • Kung Fu MMA?

  • Yeah, we couldn't help ourselves.

  • Tarantino's homage to martial arts movies was a blood soaked bonanza that wild critics and audiences alike.

  • But on that day four years ago, she made one big mistake.

  • She should have killed 10 And much of the film's success is thanks to this scene where the bride faces off against Hench Girl Go, Go, then takes on every member of the crazy 88 in a spectacularly bloody fashion.

  • Yeah, sure, there might not actually be 88 of them, but a lot of fake blood was shed on set that day, and UMA Thurman looks pretty boss, wielding a Hattori Hanzo blade.

  • Oh, number four out for revenge, Old boy Old boy is a strange mind bending trip through one man's journey from utter despair to bittersweet vengeance, quien shelter Nestle myself.

  • No seen encapsulate the dark, almost surreal tone of the film, like the infamous hammer fight Messi.

  • Bloody yet rhythmic and smooth, and it's choreography scene plays, as if in slow motion.

  • Who knows how many takes ended up on the cutting room floor.

  • But for what it's worth, a lone man murdering a group of so many thugs with a freaking hammer in some dingy corridor never looks so artful.

  • This number three This is for my dog, John Wick.

  • We already knew Quiano.

  • Reeves looks good fighting, but until John Wick came around, we didn't fully understand just how good.

  • Okay, the final fight scene in this film proves that sometimes nailing the colors and fight choreography is enough to push a simple story to great heights.

  • Oh, of course, it helps that director Chance to Hell Ski is a former stuntman and martial arts fighter.

  • The deliberate movements, the very human stakes, the pouring rain, it all comes together in a way that we're pretty sure even Keanu Reeves must have been pleasantly surprised by number two Dojo.

  • Fight the Matrix, then hit me if you can.

  • It should be no surprise that Reeves appears twice on this list.

  • There's just something about the soft spoken Canadian actor that makes him a believable ass kicking force.

  • Morpheus versus Neo Change cinema fight scenes, For better and for always, I would say Yeah.

  • In fact, the entire Matrix movie practically wrote a new road map for this pick.

  • It all comes down to the camera and the combatants who were trained by none other than martial arts master Yuen Woo ping.

  • Watching the Dojo fight is like watching to figure skaters at the height of their game.

  • There's a flow to the fight that borders on dance.

  • Yeah, yes, benefits.

  • I don't believe it.

  • Before we unveil our topic.

  • Here are a few honorable mentions from some other non pros who could do some pretty good ass kicking and deserve some honorable mention.

  • Bathroom fight Mission.

  • Impossible fallout.

  • One convey Weight Watchers are a long way well.

  • Turns out, all that calm reserve hit quite the action hero.

  • This frenetic fight scene pits first character Harry Heart, a King Zeman agent against an enraged mind controlled mob to the Leonard Skinner it anthem Freebird, and we have the added benefit of wiping out the Kingsman.

  • Not yet.

  • The consecutive long takes have to be seen to be believed as heart weaves through the crowd, shooting and turning ordinary objects in the lethal weapons.

  • Even though heart has also been affected by the evil Valentine's neurological wave, he still retains all his training and destroys his opponents.

  • Firth trained extensively for the scene, and it really shows in his impeccable timing, making this an easy number one.
