I am a girl but I do enjoy a great movie. (And some campy ones.) Now I have to be honest. One of the Best Fight scenes I've ever seen is this one.

Not sure why one would tie themselves upside down to a vine and swing slowly toward their opponent, but there you are.
Here's the link the the hilarious cracked.com article where I found this:

Or Jackie Chan in the drunken master. I don't really know.

The town tailor and baker defend against blind musical assassins sent by the Axe Gang. Unable to stop them, and because they can't get to sleep with all the racket, the Tragic Couple decide to break it up: Silk Pajama & Hair Rollers style.

Best fight scene ever.

Doc Holliday
(719 posts)from the Matrix films are visually awesome...even if some of the stuff is clearly CGI.
Seems like they gave Laurence Fishburne better fight scenes than Keanu Reeves...JMO.

(45,319 posts)The sword duel. I fight left handed/I am not left handed. Hilarious and well done, a fight that entertains and tells story in ways most fights do not.

(441 posts)It's quotable in the best of all possible ways too. If people recognize the quote they'll give you props for that (usually without saying so out loud) and if they don't it sounds clever anyways.

Also this innovative, creative *food fight*:

(2,935 posts)They're swordfighting in the Imperial Senate, and all of a sudden, Palpatine starts lobbing the pods across the chamber via telekinesis (i.e., he's literally throwing democracy down on the head of poor little Yoda).

(23,272 posts)Not sure if this counts but almost the entire Disney film "Spirit" is a fight scene (FWIW, I've seen virtually every trick that horse pulls in real life).
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon has some great fight scenes!
Mr. and Mrs. Smith - that fight scene always cracks me up when they discover the other one is really an undercover spy and destroy their house in the process.

Also I love the ending of Collateral (2004) with Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx shooting at each other.
