I liked Ed Norton beating the shit out of Jared Leto in FIGHT CLUB and Ali-Foreman '74 in WHEN WE WERE KINGS.

David: I decided to focus on obscure fight scenes - cult movies that I think most people haven't seen. I did make an exception for Bourne because I loved him punching him through the book so much. Your picks are all definitely classics. The Terminator metallic cop is one of the greatest villains of all time. The Addict: Runout and immediately buy, rent or steal THEY LIVE. It is one of the greatest movies ever. If not, SPOILER ALERT for They Live: The earth is being populated and farmed by aliens, training us to be cattle-like slaves. When you wear the glasses, you can see who is an alien (which is why Piper looks at his friend through the glasses in the beginning of the shot).You can also see the alien's subliminal messages, which are one of the greatest parts of the movie. Billboards say "WATCH TV." Magazines say things like "SLEEP." and "PROCREATE." For all THERE WILL BE BLOOD fans: Not yet. Maybe there will be a top 6 after that.

No mention of Die Hard, with its numerous Bruce Willis v. Germany battles? Or John Woo? Or T2, which is pretty much one long fight scene?

Have you seen There Will Be Blood, though? I won't spoil it for those who haven't, but let's just say that Daniel Day-Lewis has quite the fight himself. You can have your nudity and steam rooms; I'll take my bowling alleys and milk shakes! DRAAAAINAGE!!!!!!!!!!!

Really, man, how did Exene score all the hot guys? But I would love anyone in this fight scene. He makes the guy stab his own partner? Classic.
