I despise "wire-fu" almost as much as CGI and shakycam. Best fight of all time? Puts Winter Soldier's to shame? That would have to be the last fight in 1968's"Dark of the Sun" (and there are several other good ones throughout). Definitely has the most testosterone-drenched movie-poster of all time.
Fist of Legend is a fucking masterpiece. The fight at the end between Jet Li, his old Friend (the guy in red who hes fighting in the scene here) and the true villain of the piece, the Japanese Captain they call The Killing Machine is truly epic.
Okay, we need to have the Raid or the Raid 2!!! Or have them compete against each other and tear down the fight scenes of each one. As always. Love the channel. Great work.
I was going to suggest much the same thing. The Man from Nowhere needs some love as well, either the knife fight at the end culminating in the final knife fight with the main bodyguard, or the brief one near the beginning where the two gang members hold him up in his apartment.
The choreography for the Legend fight is absolutely mad. The fight, in terms of filmmaking, definitely looks its age but the actual fight itself is so good. It wins for me.
Hey man, great video as always. I would like to propose a female-only episode of this series! Namely, a match between the 2023 Korean Netflix film "Ballerina" starring Jeon Jong-Seo (maybe the final fight, where she kills a bunch of dudes, or the one-on-one fight in the bedroom earlier) against the 2018 Indonesian Film The Night Comes for Us", focusing on The Operator, played by Julie Estelle. Hell, make it a three-way fight for the hell of it, with the recent "The Shadows Strays" with some Aurora Ribero in the mix 🤔
@@joshpinchuk7061 Part of the scene where Danny fights the man in white happens in a bathroom, a lot of close kicks and punches. Amazing flexibility, very raw and visceral. Also, the whole movie is great. It lags in the middle between fights because Danny is trying to be peaceful, but the fights themselves are top notch.
Hey Marcus - great, just great - as always. Best channel on UA-cam. And I might ruffle some feathers here, but I can't believe you don't have the Coliseum fight between Bruce and Chuck Norris in Return of the Dragon on your greatest fights list. I may be biased because my instructor was Bruce's best friend, but no other fight compares when you take the participants into consideration. It has become very popular to run Bruce down recently - maybe because Tarantino did it in "Hollywood." But no one else had the effect Bruce did in just four movies. The sheer amount of people he brought to the martial arts will never be rivaled. I've been studying for over thirty years and no one I talk to ever said they began training because of Jackie, Jet Li, or Donny Yen. But THEY all became stars BECAUSE of Bruce - and everyone I ask about their motivation to start, all say Bruce Lee. I've gotten a million stories of just how great he was from people who knew and trained with and under him - he was a once in a hundred year personality. And by the way, Chuck Norris is no slouch either.
I wanna to say only one: South Korean "Rough Cut" (2008). Just.. Try it. It is impressive and realistic, underrated and pretty unknown movie. But it is wonderful at any aspect.
If this is turning into a sort of ranking system or even a tournament with brackets type of thing, Tony Jaa vs Lateef Crowder definitely needs to enter the mix! Tony Jaa in general at least (for this series) Also...those sound effects in Fist of Legend unlocked a childhood memory of watching Five Deadly Venoms haha. All the older classic martial arts flicks that I remember used the very heavy wooshing and blocking sounds in the choreography along with the intentionally sped up film
Amazing episode, marcus! I do have a suggestion for the next "vs" episode, focusing mainly on american or british martial arts stars, for example like Jason Stathem or Michael Jai White
Also, I didn't consider these two fights when I suggested FoL and IM, but it works. There's no unstoppable force in IM like the General in FoL, so there's no direct correlation unfortunately. Good video!
Also, also, I found Fist of Legend on UA-cam in Cantonese, Japanese (and a tiny bit of Mandarin) "v=mQRwn13T4C8" I rewatched it and got to the scene showcased in this video. My favorite part is right before he starts his "hybrid boxing" stance and everyone is ragging on Mitsuko. You can see him physically make the decision to leave, but he's decided to whoop Ting'en's ass first. Pure gold.
Legend. Not only is it visually more appealing but the highlighted fight isn't just a boss fight. His friend confronts him but he doesn't want to fight his friend until he sees no other way making it much more interesting on an emotional level. The story telling in the choreography is also clear as day, I don't remember that from Ip Man. I am waiting to see who you'll put up versus the Michelle Yeoh / Ziyi Zhang fight from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Maybe the red fight from Hero, opposing Snow and Moon. Both feature Zhang as a young short-tempered fighter facing an older, more experienced opponent.
As one of the people who commented on Fist of Legend as a classic a few months ago I’ll have to give it my vote here. Hard to separate Li from Yen in terms of their skill and filmography though. They’re my 2 favourites. Great to see Yen getting to showcase his skills in Rogue One & John Wick 4. 💪🏻
I find wire work very distracting. It is only not distracting in a movie like The matrix or a superhero film where you expect supernatural human ability.
for me, "fist of legend " edges it out due to the dust. the dust does a great job of highlighting impacts that are harder to convey with acting alone, similar to how reaction shoots both by fighters and spectators can add depth to a scene
You should take a look at Donnie Yen vs Wu Jing in SPL (Killzone). Its considered one of the greatest fights in HK cinema, and the best example of two martial artists told to "go nuts at each other"
2:25 along with Jackie Chan, Jet Li's Fist of Legend was my first real intro to good martial arts fights. i do feel like FoL is sped up just a tad too much for me, even back then, but i think that was just the style of the time. really great though, and fwiw i think the English dub is actually good
Just a note: A pistol carried in a holster outside the clothing like that isn't typically considered "concealed." Even if it's one of those old-timey flap holsters. Props to the prop guys for using a replica of the Type 14 Nambu pistol, which would be correct for that time.
I would like to see a contest between the end fight scenes from The Raid and The Raid 2... that should be fun, but might also cause a lot of arguments in the comments 😂😂😂
@@MarcusFlemmings Goku v Frieza on Namek is a classic, but a couple more modern amazing fights are Yuji v Mahito from Jiujitsu Kaisen or Gon v Pitou from Hunter x Hunter
mi personal thoughs: I find samo hung a waaaaay better choreographer than yuen wong ping. the last one uses harness and wires so the acrobatics are not as acrobatic. Also, in fist of legend in particular, there is a lot of scenes that the velocity is increased to make the illusion of speed. For me, Ip Man wins by far
As usual, I'd like to throw in Donnie Yen vs Wu Jing (Kill Zone) in the ring. You can put that against Sammo Hung vs Wu Jing (Fatal Move). Both are weapon vs weapon, and both have Wu Jing, as well as two other legends (Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung).
Tough choice. They’re both two of my all time favourites. But you didn’t even show the final fight in FOL where he pulls off his belt. How could you not show the belt dude!
It's weird that they use "power powder" so many of the feet/fist movements that don't connect... The powder makes sense in shots where there's an impact, it looks cool, but when the guy's just flailing around with kicks trying to hit Jet Li and powder's just wafting off his feet, it looks a bit silly. However, it receives some grace for being made earlier than Donnie Yen's films, which have benefited from the adoption of more filmic/cinematic approaches of action movie making of the modern age. I.e. standing on shoulders of giants and so on
4:52 Fists of Legend has a better color scheme. Everything pops, and you can easily identify what everyone and everything is. IP Man has a more muted color scheme. You can still tell what's what, but overall, it's a bit dreary to look at. It does lend to its grit.
You should try reacting to Indian movie fight scenes. It's like only style with no substance, but is really good at what they do. Eg: try reacting to ala vaikunthapurramuloo
When it comes to Jet Li's fight scenes, I prefer the first two Once Upon a Time in China over Fist of Legend. Some of Jet Li's moves felt a little too stiff in Fist because it's not his fighting style. He's trained in Wushu and I felt he's a little uncomfortable trying to replicate Bruce Lee with his footwork. The fights are also a little too cranked up. The speed for the fight scenes in the first two Once Upon A Time in China just felt right and it doesn't look sped up. In fact I actually prefer his fight in Kiss of the Dragon (choreographed by the late Corey Yuen) and Danny the Dog (choreographed by Yuen Wo Ping again) over Fist. I think you missed the opportunity to cover the amazing fights between Jet and Donnie in Once Upon a Time in China 2(one in the middle of the movie and one in the finale) for this video. It fits the title of the video so perfectly. 🤭
Love the last bit of your comment - but this is more specifically about pitting movie fight scenes against each other, rather than fighters in the same movie :)
Hmmm...... if similar tone, feeling and filmaking are to be included in the criteria of these movie fights then IMO Fist of Legend vs Ip Man may not exactly be the best match up as both are striving for very different things. While both are wuxia period pieces Ip Man is much more interested in character and story focused while Fist of Legend is more a showcase of action (while still having a better than average story for the time and it being a remake of Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury/The Chinese Connection.) For a focus on drama, character and story maybe it should be = Ip Man vs Fearless or Danny the Dog/Unleashed And for pure action sake = Fist of Legend vs Iron Monkey (And just throw in Hero and Once Upon a time in China 2 cause they're both classics worth your time)
"BvS" shouldn't be anywhere near this list. I thought it was so dull. I felt no stakes while watching it. As was said, two people fighting for no reason. "Fighting" carrying a lot of weight in that sentence.
I'm wondering if you are keeping Old Boy for later but I'm suggesting it again. Along with Repo Men (2010) which had a not it it and is also a great scene in my opinion.
So I covered Old Boy extensively in the Bad Movie Fights vs Good Movie Fights volumes - number 3 or 4, I believe :) so probably won't cover it in this series just yet!
Come on, you can't do that. It's not worst vs best, it's the best vs best. But for a personal preferences, I say I like Jet Li fights a bit more. Not only they are more of a spectacle, they are also feels a lot more physical. Not Samo Hung level, but still quite good.
Jet Li in his prime was equal or better than Jackie Chan in terms of creativeness - Jet just had that natural athletic ability added to the talent and martial skill. Once in a generation fighter. Fist of Legend gets my vote for this one
Donnie Yen is not a good actor he has zero expression in most of the scenes he act in, but he's a terrific martial artist and all the fight scenes he's in are amazing.
@@MarcusFlemmingsI did watch a lot of his movies, but he's always acting the same in pretty much all his performances. You can barely feel his emotions coming through the screen even when they should be more apparent.

I haven't watched this yet, but aren't both of these guys' worst fights, still better than many other people's bests?
Indeed! I address that at the end of the video :)
I can't think of a bad Jet Li fight or a bad Donnie Yen fight.
Nothing is better than waking up to a new Marcus Flemmings video and watching it before a hard day ahead.
Fist of Legend is a fucking masterpiece. The fight at the end between Jet Li, his old Friend (the guy in red who hes fighting in the scene here) and the true villain of the piece, the Japanese Captain they call The Killing Machine is truly epic.
I'm a Donnie Yen man myself, but in this case the vote goes for Fist of Legend. That fight choreography is just too good.
Okay, we need to have the Raid or the Raid 2!!! Or have them compete against each other and tear down the fight scenes of each one.
As always. Love the channel. Great work.

Love Donnie Yen, seen all the Ip Man movies but that First of Legend fight was too cool. So... Legend
What about bathroom fights? Mission Impossible Fallout vs True Lies?
I second that. That would be an interesting one to see.
I was hoping he can do a breakdown of the film black mask
don't forget jet li from Unleashed
@@zmanhill I don't remember unleashed as being particularly good. I did however really like Romeo must die

I have a suggestion for a video, looking at some of the renditions of oldboy style corridor fight
Yeah, others have suggested this one - shall deffo look into it - I kind of did this in Volume 3 or 4 of the adjacent series :)

Jason Bourne vs Desh, The Bourne Ultimatum. Fantastic fight scene with unbelievable build up.
In Hero there is Jet Li AND Donnie Yen. A must see movie.
Brilliant, indeed, but I don't think there was a victory: Sky simply didn't have the time to react.
i love the raindrobs on the spear and what a cool sound from the old blind man Hero was / is awesome

Hi Marcus, I love the content! When are you doing a new stream? It would be cool if you talked about your favorite movies.
When I hit 50k followers :) so maybe this weekend or early next week!
@@MarcusFlemmings awesome!
Suggestion for movie fight scenes: Iron Monkey, with Donnie Yen vs monks. Another Yuen Wo Ping masterclass!
Fist of Legend, hands down.
2:25 along with Jackie Chan, Jet Li's Fist of Legend was my first real intro to good martial arts fights. i do feel like FoL is sped up just a tad too much for me, even back then, but i think that was just the style of the time. really great though, and fwiw i think the English dub is actually good
Tai Chi Master is my favourite Jet Li movie, great story, wirework and fight scenes.
Legend!
Ip Man for me.
Would still like to see the Batman Warehouse fight from B vs S or Amon Hen from the Fellowship of the Ring.
Dunno if you have seen the fight in the show warrior. Its really good
LEGEND!
I think you done Donnie Yen dirty.
Ip Man for me, but both are great. Somewhat unrelated, I recall hearing Donnie Yen would give his stunt guys some bruises for real and I believe it!
Peak Jet Li is in Once Upon A Time In China 1 & 2 and part 2 actually showcases Jet Li vs Donnie Yen on screen for the first time
The dude who took about 20 hits to the head was such a brutal stuntman hit
Total ouch moment
Hear me out. Kingsman church scene vs The Raid 2 prison riot scene
I was expecting Donnie vs Jet vs Lee. Battle of the Chen Zhens
Just a note: A pistol carried in a holster outside the clothing like that isn't typically considered "concealed." Even if it's one of those old-timey flap holsters.
Props to the prop guys for using a replica of the Type 14 Nambu pistol, which would be correct for that time.
Great fact!
Fist of Legend for me.
Oh man...Hard Target at #7??...I loved that movie.😞Aw...Van Dammit 🤣😂🤣😂
It'll get lower over the next few weeks! :(
I would like to see a contest between the end fight scenes from The Raid and The Raid 2... that should be fun, but might also cause a lot of arguments in the comments 😂😂😂

Yeah, give me some suggestions!

But when Jet Li fights Donnie Yen, he always wins.
Check Ruruoni Kenshin the Final, battle between Kensin and Enishi was epic.
I prefer Ip Man myself. But Jet Li and Donnie Yen fought each other in Hero. That would be worth watching.
Covered this on the channel :)
@@MarcusFlemmings I’ll have to look for that then.
small constructive criticism: check the spelling for The Reveant in your list #4 :)
You should try reacting to Indian movie fight scenes. It's like only style with no substance, but is really good at what they do.
Eg: try reacting to ala vaikunthapurramuloo
I don't know... Fist of Legend doesn't feel like the fighters are hitting hard enough. They hardly get hurt. Ip Man seems more brutal.

1:45 POW Powder > dusty aesthetics.
I can’t count how many times I’ve watched fist of legend growing up. Ip man is phenomenal as well. I’d have to be indecisive and say tie lol.
Oh no....no ties allowed ;-)
