Best Fight Scene of All time!
I stumbled across this whilst reading a Web article about unintentionally funny villains. This is a clip from a martial arts film called Undefeatable (1994), and the YouTube caption is aptly titled. It probably is the best fight scene of all time.
Feel free to post your favourites! Viewer discretion is advised.

Not just for the fight but because it's a 6 minute continuous take.
Tony Jaa in The Protector: Jet Lil's Fist of Legend is my favourite Kung Fu movie though.

I laughed at the first one.
Secondly i thought of the scenes posted above from Hero and Kill Bill... Then, my favorite cheese fight EVAR.. Jason Statham in the warehouse. Shirtless. On an oil-slicked floor. Wearing bike pedals. The only clip I could find was forever-long, but daaaaaaaaaaaayum.   The good stuff starts around 3:00

I usually try to stray away and avoid such subjective topics like these, if only because I'm the sort of person who touts "he plays no favorites",
but, this is sort of fun, and you (all) drew me into this psuedo-discussion. Quote:

I haven't seen this one mentioned and it's been a favorite of mine for, oh, 20 years or so. I saw it in the theater way back when. And if I show that one, I have to show this one since it's shot-for-shot the same.
