[WhiteStar]

Yo, martial arts movie fans! I'm kick-starting this thread with a bang - we're talkin' about the most ridiculous, over-the-top fight choreos in cinematic history. From Jackie Chan's wacky wire-work to Sammo Hung's insane stunt-filled brawls, I'm lookin' for your top picks - PM me your nominations or share 'em in the comments!

"What's the point of ranking fight choreos if you're not gonna mention Crouching Tiger's epic sword fights or Jackie Chan's gravity-defying stunts in Drunken Master? I mean, come on, those guys were legends. Crouching Tiger, Hands Down."

"OMG, gotta give props to Zhang Yimou's work in Hero (2002). That choreo with Jet Li fighting 100 men is still insane to this day. Anyone else have a favorite fight scene from Chinese martial arts movies?"

 

[Locan]

"OMG, can't forget the crazy fight choreo from Ip Man 2 with Donnie Yen vs. Mike Tyson Anyone else love how they actually made it look like Mike was getting taken down?"

 

[Daelonimus]

"Dude, gotta give it up to the Jet Li flicks - ' Fist of Legend' and 'Fist of Fury' are some crazy fight choreos. Those 70s era wire fu scenes still hold up today, and Jet Li's got some insane moves in them. Anyone seen 'The Grandmaster'? That Ip Man biopic's fight scenes are also on another level"

"Dude, gotta give it up to the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fight scenes. The wire work and choreo are still insane even today. Who else thinks Ong-bak has some of the most underrated fight choreo in martial arts movies?"

"Dude, hands down gotta give it up to Ip Man's (Donnie Yen) vs. Tenement's gang in Ip Man 2 - that choreo never gets old. The way they blend in and out of the crowded street is insane. Best fight scenes, period."

 

[Boshkin]

"Honestly, gotta give it up for IP Man, the fight scenes in the movie are so fluid and realistic, it's like watching a masterclass in Wing Chun. The choreos between Donnie Yen and his opponent in the hospital scene still give me chills. That scene's on my top 5 martial arts fight choreos of all time"

"Can't believe Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon didn't make the cut! Zhang Yimou's choreos are insane, especially the rooftop battle between Jen and Jade Fox. Has to be one of the most iconic fight scenes ever."

 

[Himnul]

"Dude, what about Ip Man? That guy took on multiple Wing Chun fighters at once and still managed to hold his own. His fight choreos are insane!"

"Hands down, my top pick is the epic showdown between Tony Jaa and Pong Kam San in Ong-bak - the combination of Jaa's intense training and the film's raw, unedited style makes for some seriously convincing martial arts action"
