[QUOTE="Black Omega, post: 2593480, member: 79"] Now this is a tough one. For one on ones: The sword fight at the end of House of Flying Daggers, if only because alot of wire fu is about being graceful and beautiful. This duel was about two guys trying very hard to cut each other to ribbons with little thought to self preservation. Without Mei getting involved I doubt either character would have lived through it. Rokurota Makabe (Toshiro Mifune) against General Tadokoro (Susumu Fujita) in Hidden Fortress. Not only a great duel but the only I've seen with Japanese spear against spear. Add in use of surroundings for seaoning. Very good. Tyrone Powers v. Basil Rathbone in the Mark of Zorro. The first time I watched a sword fight on screen and thought "Hey, that guy (Rathbone) really knows how to use a sword." There are plenty of others I'll give honorary mention to. Just for Misc: Favorite unarmed fight scene, Jackie Chan v. Benny Urquidez in Dragons Forever. [/QUOTE]
