Fight Movies .... hm

List your five favorite fight movies, then tag five other people....
((Note to Self :: Fight movies are not Movies with Fights ... hm ... ok ::
Mine are as well ... in no particular order:
- Game Of Death ((entire Movie))- Bruce lee fights some mad crazy martial artists, all of them legends in there own right. At the end ... he fights Kareem Abdul Jabaar...bruce lee was what ... 5'2? 5'3? and he fights and whips Kareem who's probably about 6'10. Classic Bruce lee ...
- Only The Strong - Shitty movie but I must say AMAZING Fights, straight Capoeira in its finest, Mark Dacascos comes of as a bit of a pussy in this movie but he turns around and does some amazing moves. The best parts are at the begining and at the End where you actually get to see actual Mestre's and their students from Brazil and Capoeira Mandinga ( in Berkeley ) go into a Roda and do some encaptivating stuff.
- Braveheart/ Gladiator - I can't pull them apart, the mass battle sequences and the continuity of such are really good. Very epic in their delivery but you can pick out each individual moment to moment with fights between other actors((Maximus Vs the Six Gladiators or whatever he fought, William Wallace Vs. the whole English town and the Battle of sterling is really cool)) that tell a story and actually develope characters.
- Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2- Damn , I can't really explain. Its just insane, the attention to detail is just amazing. I used to watch those old samurai shows on PBS way back in the day , I saw a lot of things that reminded me of those directly, as well as some really insane choreography. Kiddo Vs the Crazy 88's , the Knife fight between Kiddo and whats her face ... Pai Mei ... Bill ... lots of great characters.
...ok ... last one ... so many to choose.... soo many to think about ....
I'm Going With...
- Kiss of the Dragon/ The Transporter - both of which have some sequences that happen so fast I don't know how they did it ... but they did and thats what makes it great. Lots of ass whipping in these movies. The Transporter got over looked quite a bit didn't it , thats a shame ... Go see it on HBO I think its on every other day. Kiss of the dragon is just Really Impressive, I wonder if there is such a thing as the pressure point ...that bursts your heart and makes your spinal cord snap from within the spine.
Who is teaching these things !?! as well as the five point heart exploding technique?
Anywho ...
I ISSUE THE NEXT STEP OF THIS FIGHT MOVIE THING
Top Ten: BEST DUAL'S WITHIN A FILM
Cut and Paste this and Some else will fill in 9-1 We'll see if we can get a comprehensive list going.
10. Cradle 2 the Grave: Jet Li Vs. Randy Couture Chuck Liddell Tito Ortiz and random assotred Cage Fighters
9. ...??
