Do you have any favourite fight scenes when it comes to television, movies, books and so on? It doesn't have to be for the movements alone, it could be about the emotional impact of the scene, or another reason.

I quite like the night fight at the beginning of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Very atmospheric and graceful, with some sharp choreography.

As a fight fan and someone who grew up on martial arts movies I can't really nail down a single favourite so here's a bunch of them:

And this one isn't even the best in this particular movie but as martial arts go, I have a strong bias toward boxing.

I'm thinking of some other examples. Neo sparring with Morpheus in the first Matrix movie was pretty good. Jet Li had some great action scenes in Fist of Legend.

Another example that comes to my mind...the final battle between Zuko and Azula in Avatar: The Last Airbender. (The animated series, not the movie.)

As people can probably guess from my PSN, its this one:

No overly flashy swordplay.
No stupid acrobatics.
No absurd special moves.
No dehumanisation of the guys being cut down.
No glorification of violence.

Just a pure depiction of what swordsmanship actually is.
A method of killing.

Oh, and feels. Watch out for feels.

AKA: Evil Mastered on XBL and Evil_Rurouni on PSN. My theme tune.™

What weapon mods NOT to use on certain guns.
