[Other Sport] Most ridiculous fight in cinema? (Could be a poll, probably won't)

[Pevenseagull]

Just caught the last few minutes of Rocky 3 on ITV4 (evidently they've run out of Bond films) and I must say that was pretty silly.

I remember Rocky 4 being at least as daft.

'Rowdy' Rowdy Piper and Keith David beating the crap out of each other in 'They Live' was pretty good.

Any others?



...the sketch from 'The Fast Show' doesn't count as it wasn't in cinemas.



Yes I have been drinking ... It's Fridat afterall.

Does the chase sequence in Heat count? If not, I'd say Fight Club.

 

[GT49er]

Probably the ones in the 1950s when the seats were slashed with razor blades. Pointless exercise.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I thought you were going to take me back to the queue outside the Embassy Cinema on Western Road in 1977 for the Jam gig, and Punky Steve, off his tits, doing the Hold Me Back dance.



Edit: I just realized that was 45 years ago. FFS.

 

[Gabbafella]

I see your Rocky fights, and raise you any fight from Willy's Wonderland. Nicholas Cage in the most Nicholas Cage movie ever! Absolutely bat shit.

How very dare you - next you'll be saying Morty in Layer Cake.


Anyhoo the actual answer has to be The Stath in whichever Transporter film had him greased up and stripped to the waist, in a garage, killing baddies with a bicycle pedal...




...just f**k already!

Don't know about ridiculous, this is the most sinister? David Bowman vs. HAL in 2001

[Guinness Boy]

In terms of implausibility it's Uma Thurman beating the Crazy 88 single handed in Kill Bill. That's also probably my favourite ever movie fight scene so it might not count in this.



Grace Jones and Christopher Walken sparring in View to a Kill. Part fight, part soft porn, part performance art and most definitely of its time.

Just outside the Curzon in Eastbourne in the late 1990s

 

[Bodian]

The Quiet Man surely?

Inspired by your wrongness I've sat down to three hours of Pacino,DeNiro and Mann on top form

Alien 3 at the Marina

The fight happened in the cinema when two groups of people had somehow managed to double book the same seats. Pissed as newts they literally all to a man set upon each other.

Absolute carnage on the opening night for the first 10 mins of the movie. Claret all over the shop.

I'm confused. Chase sequence? Surely you're not talking about the gun battle that was brilliant

It has been over a decade I saw it in fairness. I remember chasing.

Just to jog your memory of quite how brilliant it is . Even the sound man should have got an Oscar!

From 1:50 on for about one minute until after "wowwwwwww"
I remember laughing out loud.
