Top 5 fight Scenes from Modern Movies According to Me

So, i was thinking about the top 5 fight scenes according to me. After much thought and research:) I have come to the conclusion that my list is the best list!…Ever!

#5 Gladiator: Russell Crowe getting stabbed in the side and still winning, one word: Awesome! I mean, hello, watching Russell Crowe fight Johnny Cash with a pseudo-middle eastern sound in the background is ultimate in dramatics as well as being really well shot. That Jerry Bruckheimer really knows how to get ya! “Are you not entertained?!”

 

#4 Troy: okay, so it goes without saying that both Bradd pitt and Eric Bana spent too much time in the gym proir to shooting-not that anyone is complaining, i know i’m not. But, the end when Brad (it always makes me feel cool calling actors by their first names) is yelling, “HECTOR!” and it takes Eric like a billion hours to get down to him since everyone wants to stop and talk to him, is like everyone waiting at the flagpole after middle school because the captian of the football team and the captain of the basketball team are going to dook/duke(?) it out, and everyone is there because like your friend Helen is with Paris who is cousins with Achilles girlfriend (Briseis) who is also cousins with Hector who helped take Helen who is sisters with Andromanche who is like so in your ancient weaving class in fourth period, and well you have to be there. Then, when it finally comes time to fight you are not disappointed: Brad is flying through the air with a spear and o-so-hot Eric is ducking and rolling and hacking with his sword. Then the ultimate bad-Ace thing to do is take the dead body and drag it through the dirt just to be like, “Shove it!”

#3 The Patriot: So when Mel (who should be here anyway because of Braveheart) is on his knees back turned to that Roth dude ready to be killed, then totally catlikely matrixes it and stabs him with an American flag is soooo cool by itself! But when you add the backstory of that Roth dude killing Mel’s kids throughout the movie you feel so justified by the gore and violence-even though you know it ain’t real. Plus, like how unpatriotic and un-American is it to kill Heath Ledger?! I mean both he and Mel may be Australians but i think that America has adopted him because we pay them millions of dollars-without us they couldn’t eat! And now, let us take a moment of silence to remember Heath Ledger because well, if you don’t know you should really get out more……………………………………………………………………………………………………………Okay, moment passed. But, yeah you get my point with this.

#2 Bridget Jones Diary the edge of Reason: So before you go all agro on me leme esplain. So watching two old English guys kind of catfight to the Darkness “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” is probably the most entertaining thing to watch if you are having a bad day. I mean just watch it and you’ll think to yourself, “Well, at least i don’t look as stupid as that right now.” Unless, of course, you did fight Colin Firth and Hugh Grant and looked that stupid-but highly unlikely. Plus, they are catfighting like stuffy old guys for a fat girl with greasy hair! I mean both romantic and funny and violent-what could be better than that?

#1 the movie you all have been waiting for…suspense…know you are skipping over to read what it is…300! Okay, now the hard part was picking which fight scene. Now, i originally wasn’t going to go with this one but the more i thought about it the more i was like-yeah, manpanties notwithstanding, the movie kicks some serious tail! So, when Gerard Butler’s wife-who was pretty much brutalized by creepy eyebrow guy who is still kind of cute so i think i need counseling-stabs him after he mouths off and repeats the words he used when he raped her was like, “AWWw she didn’t!” I mean “This will not be over quickly, you will not enjoy this, and I am not your queen” was so cool I was like, get it girl! But, overall you could go with so many different scenes from this movie and still be like yeah it has to be #1.

Honorable Mentions that probably should be on my list but weren’t:

Mr and Mrs Smith: when future lovers Bradd and Angelina beat the poo out of each other and still kiss and make up, again, and again, and again. lol

Enough: J-lo kicks the life out of her bad husband, the ultimate lifetime movie.

Braveheart: enough said

*okay, i have to say something. It is the essential epic movie that defined all fight scenes/battle scenes that followed. It invented war movies and an entire genre of male thought that is now manifested on a channel called Spike.

13th warrios: “today was a good day!” right as the one blonde guy dies, that is the defintion of a bad A@% right there.

Diehard with the vegenance: when Bruce is fighting that guy that plays Scar in the lion king. That is so yippis-kiyay-motherfletchers!

Well, i prob left out some true classics but i am not E! so, just write your own and then i get to read yours! see it will be the best of everything!
