Best Fights
What are some of your favourite fights in your tv fandoms? Or movies, for that matter? Please reply with some of your favourites. I'm tagging all of you to reply! (and as much as I love battles of wit and competitions etc., I mean FIGHT fights).
A few that I really love...
Kara "Starbuck" Thrace vs a Number Six model (BSG Kobol's Last Gleaming part 2) -- This is such a sexy fight scene. Two hot blondes, sure, but also two of the most hardcore cool characters on tv at the time. Starbuck's so clearly outmatched but she's got fucking guts.
Buffy vs Faith (BtVS Enemies, Graduation Day part 1, This Year's Girl) -- These two fighting is just amazing. They're so deeply connected and so filled with hate, and are very closely matched.
Marines/hostages vs terrorists (BSG Sacrifice) -- Firstly Starbuck's botched attempts at defusing the situation, where she does her hardcore dive with the guns, and accidentally shoots Lee, and then the horrible climax when Sesha realises it isn't the right Sharon's body and Billy makes a hero of himself.
D'Anna Biers, Caprica-Six, Boomer-Sharon and Sam Anders (BSG Downloaded) -- Hardly a fight but the interplay is awesome. Rocks come down, Sam makes his move for the gun, Boomer tackles him to keep the peace, and D'Anna makes her move to the gun, doing the most hardcore-awesome move in history as she comes up and points the gun down at Sam (as shown in my avatar here). Then Caprica-Six, injured leg and all, rises up behind her and beats her to death with a bit of the rubble. Shit yeah.
Illyria vs Team Angel (AtS Time Bomb) -- As the chat speakers say, fucking pwnage. Boom, dead, boom, dead, boom, dead, WHAM! Dead.
UberBuffy vs Adam (BtVS Primeval) -- I actually really like this. It has some great details and filmmaking effects that make it look damn cool. I also find the generally bland Adam to be very funny in Primeval.
Buffy vs Dark Willow (BtVS Two to Go) -- I also very much enjoy this. It contains some great moves and a lot of pent up emotion over season 6 as well as previous seasons that looks very nice. However, I'll admit that the entire scene is ruined forever by the shocking line of "get off, superbitch!"
Buffy vs Ubervamps (BtVS Chosen) -- Yeah, I'm pretty neutral regarding the other Slayers fighting the Ubervamps in Chosen, but this is Buffy's finale, and she's got conviction, and it is wicked. All the obvious conventions, the little slow-mo's... the swinging of the scythe, the rising back up... and the gripping string backings make me go "ooh", even if I feel cheap for it.
Aeryn vs Harvey (Farscape, Die Me, Dichotomy) -- okay, yes, it's a space battle. But the emotions in this scene, the fact that it's John trying to regain control of his body, the fact that Aeryn is willing to kill the guy she loves to save him, not to mention the twists and turns of the beautiful ice planet setting, interlaced with Harvey's malicious wit and tactics... not to mention the outcome.
That's all I can think of right now... er... damn. I didn't include any movies, but that's okay. I want you to comment with yours.
Comment? :)
