Jet Li vs. The Japanese General in The Fist of Living Legend

[Ender]

I know there aren't many Star Wars fans in these parts, but the Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Darth Maul duel (if you made it that far into the movie) was sweet.

Inigo Montoya vs. Rugen in The Princess Bride because it's just too dang funny.

Maximus in Gladiator has several awesome fights, though my favorite is the one in which he tossed the sword into the stands and shouts "Are you not entertained!!" Awesome.

King Kong vs. three T-Rexes in the Peter Jackson remake of King Kong.

And while it doesn't technically count as a fight, the three-way shootout at the end of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

EDIT: The Achilles vs. Hector fight scene in Troy is also one of my absolute favorites...especially if one counts what happens immediately after it.

Yeah that was cool, as was the stand off at the end of RE!

Ryu vs Fei Long (Streetfigther 2: The Animated Movie)

Cloud vs Sephorith (FFVII: AC)

Obi-wan vs Anakin (Star Wars Episode 3)

Keith David and 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper in They Live - just one very long fist fight, not exactly the stuff of legend I know (or at least not when compared to some of the suggestions already made), but so hilariously drawn out it's one of the best around.

Dragon vs. Colt, "Way of the Dragon" (1972)

"Movement number 4: Dragon seeks path. Hi-yah!"

Raoul Duke has the upper hand. He's big, young, and strong. He has Bruce beat. Raoul Duke, the man who we most often find thrust kicking the Deadly Foes of Jonathan Brandis through a windshield, has Bruce Lee (who only would lose to Batman or Captain America, remember) DEFEATED. Down and out. Unfortunately he was still a few years away from making FIREWALKER so he doesn't act fast enough, and that gives Bruce the opportunity to do what, class?

Adapt. From static to flowing. From attacking to counter-striking. Moving in and out. Lee sets him up, destroys his limbs, and finally, because he has no choice and Raoul Duke is a whole hell of a lot harder to beat up than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (and possibly even Bill Walton), guillotines Colt right out of his 45's and wins the fight. Then he pays respect to his fallen opponent. Because he is Bruce Lee and was too damn great to stay on this Earth for too long.

This was one of the (if not THE) last movies to be filmed at the actual Roman Coliseum, so Colt and Dragon duking it out in the very literal gladiatorial sense is a big deal. Bruce Lee would go on to be the most important martial arts legend and icon of modern times. Raoul Duke would go on to be the guy who gave the thumbs up to the Average Joes in "Dodgeball."

Why do we fight? Why do any of these fights happen? Life. Pride. Dignity. Making something of yourself or a situation. We fight battles every day. Not always with our fists, but we do. And unlike Bruce Lee we don't always win them all.

yes. Bruce lee shows Norris fans whos boss!

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

Bruce Lee vs Kareem Abdul Jabbar I agree with

and who's Raoul Duke?

Daniel Cleaver vs. Mark Darcy in Bridget Jones Diary

Two middle aged men going at it. Good stuff.

Sydney Bristow vs. Fake!Francie in Alias

Best chick fight. EVER. Do you understand me? EVER.
