[HunterSdVa29]

Donnie Yen choreo'd Blade II

It made Luke Goss look ridiculously badass FFS, i mean Cmon

 

[RichardPriors]

Old Boy, Haywire, Undisputed 3.

 

[JAEGERX]

Wolf Warrior 2

these movies are so silly, i really enjoy it though

 

[Deleted member 110072]

Basically anything with Donnie Yen.

His best work for me...



From back in the day Chan vs Benny the jet was always considered the best realistic kickboxing style fight.

 

[lostdog000]

John Wick

 

[SamSchmidt]

Choreographed or not those are some sick fucking moves in a fast moving manlet fight

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

What movie is this from?

 

[Wet Blanket]

What movie is this from?

Gymkata, it is definitely a cult classic. <Lmaoo>

 

[Sir Galahad]

Only God Forgives has some great fight scenes. The older Thai gentleman was an excellent actor.

The most brutally beautiful. @Zer

 

[Noodles03]

 

[method115]

we need this, it's karate...

I just can't take stuff like this seriously anymore. People staying down after 1 hammer fist to the chest is to far removed from reality.

Man, The Prodigal Son is so underrated. One of the ATG's IMO

Same with Magnificent Butcher

 

[Madmick]

How was the hand to hand in this movie? For the life of me I can't remember those parts:

How was the hand to hand in this movie? For the life of me I can't remember those parts:

not as solid as it should be
one of the main scenes was Jason Scott Lee vs Russel atop climbing ropes

Although IIRC Russell broke his ankle early on, and it altered much of the fight scenes as a result

I remembered that fight, but it obviously had a strange, acrobatic setting. I think that was where Russell took out one of his eyes, but Lee (they thought) killed Russell, and left him hanging. Lee's character got punished for losing his eye.

Was there any after that? When Russell joined the rebels? Or was it all gun battles?

How was the hand to hand in this movie? For the life of me I can't remember those parts:

It’s mostly guns, vehicle mounted weapons and ambushes. Plus a 5 year old savant/serial killer.

 

[PRIDEWASBETTER]

Winter Soldier has some pretty good ones.

 

[Tol]

As I’m watching Kung Fu Hustle for the first time now I’m blown away by the fight choreography! It’s just so damm good! What are some of your favorite films with amazing fight choreography?

Love Kung Fu Hustle. Love Everything about it.

I loved the fight choreography of 4 on 1.

 

[Islam Imamate]

Wheels on Meals with Jackie Chan and Bennie the Jet is sublime too.

One of the best in terms of pure choreography IMO. The entire movie is kind of cheesy but definitely worth a watch for action comedy fans.

No one's mentioned Ip Man 1 or 2 yet, and Donny Yen does a great job in those.

I have only seen the first Ip Man. I loved it as a whole and while the fight scenes are great I think most of their impact comes from watching them in the context of the movie, I really got invested in the character and the wider narrative of Chinese oppression under the Japanese. The final fight is one of my favorites of any martial arts movie but mainly for the emotional impact of it within the context of the movie. Not saying the choreography is necessarily bad but I am saying that I wouldn't expect someone to really appreciate them if they watched them divorced from the movie.
