Drugs are involved. Chases with motorcycles, race-cars and helicopter follow.Aaron Kwok & Norika Fujiwara vs. Coolio
The oddball entry to this list. None of the performers are legitimate martial artists and the choreography is nothing special, but the fight's hazardous setting and the ability of the performers to sell it makes this one pretty unique. - DirectorIsaac FlorentineStarsScott AdkinsNick ChinlundCaitlin KeatsA rogue soldier turned outlaw is thrust into a fight with a dirty sheriff and the cartel he works for to protect his niece and sister.Scott Adkins vs. Jeremy Marinas

And... if they survive this, they will have to confront Snakehead: the lethal, deranged top dog who will stop at nothing to kill 'em all!Joe Lewis vs. Ice Chongko
The film is filled with a variety of diverse fights, but I especially appreciate this intricately-paced, well-choreographed exhibition of defensive karate by one of the martial arts' best practitioners. - DirectorGodfrey HoStarsCynthia RothrockLoren AvedonBrendan KellyAfter six years as a guest of the state, mob hit man Jason Reed wants nothing more than to get an honest job and spend time with his young son, Tommy. He is not ten steps outside of the prison before being greeted by Keither, an old crony anxious to pick up where they left off. While out for a drive with his son, Jason saves a young woman from a gun wielding thug, not realizing that he has just managed to ruin Keith's plans to recover some stolen heroin.

It's amazing that such a sloppy movie can feature such a smooth brawl, full of cool kicks. - DirectorGareth EvansStarsIko UwaisSisca JessicaChristine HakimA young man from the countryside uses his skills in silat martial arts to survive the slave trade.Iko Uwais vs. Mads Koudal & Laurent Buson
One of the more visibly taxing fights I've seen.

UnruAfter making a brotherly bond with a fellow orphan and reunited by tragedy they fight to save Verdy's fiancée and stop the international crime scandal together.Robin Shou & Verdy Bhawanta vs. the Pirates

A maelstrom of martial arts technique with some broken furniture and weapons thrown in for good measure.

The problem is that both their objects of affection--one a baker, the other a prostitute--are working under cruel and lecherous bosses. Somehow, the pair must find a way to win the ladies' hearts and free them from their unpleasant jobs.Sammo Hung vs. Lau Kar Leung
A fierce but humorous brawl. The hand-to-hand portion is good, but the pole fight is what makes this memorable. - DirectorRashane LimtrakulStarsJeeJa YaninKazu Patrick TangNui SaendaengA violent gang is abducting and killing women around Thailand. Sanim and his friends, having had loved ones abducted, have joined together to break the gang of kidnappers. In a botched kidnap attempt, Deu is saved by Sanim's crew. After learning their unique martial arts style, Deu helps lure the gang into an epic battle to save the women across Thailand.Jeeja Yanin vs. Jindasing Roongtawan
Though it's a stretch to believe that anybody can absorb *this* many punishing blows of knees, feet, and elbows, it's an amazingly-choreographed and satisfyingly long exchange. - DirectorDwight H.

Betrayed and set up by the federal agents, the only person he can trust is Ryan, a Chicago cop who reminds Jake of his deceased father.Brandon Lee vs. Al Leong

The best of both their unique careers. - DirectorYu WangDusty NelsonStarsChuck ConnorsMike KellyGeorge NicholasNinjas steal a research tape.

Time is precious, and these trained fighters will have to use everything they got to prevent the worst.Scott Adkins vs. Vladislavas Jacukevicius
Adkins' first collaboration with director Isaac Florentine. You know it's a good match when you get such a great, lengthy showdown out of the very first outing.

Shot in a single take with a single panning camera, this is simultaneously one of the smoothest and one of the most believable one-against-many fights I have ever seen. - DirectorErnie Reyes Jr.StarsErnie Reyes Jr.Corin NemecErnie Reyes Sr.A martial arts champion saves the life of a street fighter and must fight for him in the ultimate fight to the death.Shishir Inocalla, Ernie Reyes, Jr. & Sr. Home Invasion

A ton of action from some of the most underrated performers of this genre. - DirectorJohn HyamsStarsJean-Claude Van DammeDolph LundgrenScott AdkinsJohn looks to take down Luc Deveraux after a home invasion claims his wife and daughter.

UniSol Luc (Jean-Claude Van Damme) goes in but faces 2 NGUs.Jean-Claude Van Damme vs. Andrei Arlovski
Van Damme visibly ages several years during what's arguably the most aggressive and demanding fight of his career. Arlovski is virtually unstoppable. - DirectorBenny ChanJackie ChanStarsJackie ChanMichelle FerreMirai YamamotoA Secret Agent loses his memory after falling from a crashing helicopter.

He must then prove how good Chinese Kung Fu really is through a series of duels with the seven Japanese martial artists who come to meet the challenge.This Shaw Brothers movie from the busy 70's is something of an entire different caliber from kung fu films of that time. From the originality of the plot, the actual cinematography which is incredible, to the mesmerizing and unique fighting scenes depicting various Chinese styles vs different Japanese styles makes this one of my favorite martial arts movies of all time.
- DirectorIsaac FlorentineStarsScott AdkinsMykel Shannon JenkinsMark IvanirBoyka is back. This time he is fighting in the first ever inter-prison tournament with one knee.You know, it's surprising, but there is actually an American movie in the top 10, and with GOOD REASON! This movie is amazing, the fights are unbelievable, the talent of Scott Adkins is undeniable, the rest of the cast is incredibly talented as well, the story isn't that bad and this is how American tournament movies should thrive to be more! Hollywood could learn a few things from this humble, fantastic, fantastic movie!
- DirectorChia-Liang LiuJackie ChanStarsJackie ChanHo-Sung PakLung TiA young martial artist is caught between respecting his pacifist father's wishes or stopping a group of disrespectful foreigners from stealing precious artifacts.The drunken style that made Jackie Chan unique, in roles that no one else can replicate! One of the best final showdowns in history!

See this amazing trio in Project A (1983) and Wheals on Meals (1984) as well.
- DirectorAnthony RussoJoe RussoStarsChris EvansSamuel L. JacksonScarlett JohanssonAs Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world, he teams up with a fellow Avenger and S.H.I.E.L.D agent, Black Widow, to battle a new threat from history: an assassin known as the Winter Soldier.I know that this movie seems out of place here, but if you look beyond the superhero filter, you'll see spectacular one-on-one fights of undeniable quality and attention to detail. There's not much wirework here, and the CGI is barely noticeable in the melee fights as well. Captain America vs the Winter Soldier is a duel that deserves its place among the best choreographed screen fights of its time. And its a great movie!
- DirectorLee Jeong-beomStarsWon BinKim Sae-ronKim Tae-hoonA quiet pawnshop keeper with a violent past takes on a drug-and-organ trafficking ring in hope of saving the child who is his only friend.A movie that is just so good...

- DirectorGareth EvansStarsIko UwaisYayan RuhianArifin PutraOnly a short time after the first raid, Rama goes undercover with the thugs of Jakarta and plans to bring down the syndicate and uncover the corruption within his police force.Unlike most of its fanbase, I think this is a step backwards. This sequel is still a great action movie with amazing fights, but it tries to be so much more that ends up all over the place.
- DirectorPierre MorelStarsCyril RaffaelliDavid BelleTony D'AmarioIn the ghettos of Paris in 2010, an undercover cop and an ex-thug try to infiltrate a gang in order to defuse a neutron bomb.
