My current top 5 fight movies (in my collection)

These are my current top 5 fight movies that are currently in my collection.

I have always enjoyed a good violent and senseless fight movie. Something about guys getting together and beating each other to a pulp that really appeals to my barbaric nature.


1) Blood sport - This was probably the first fight movie that I saw growing up as a kid. I spent the next few weeks practicing my punches and kicks in pursue of a underground fighting championship. Needless to say that career didn't work out.

2) The Quest - Another Van Dame movie. I found this movie very easy going and fun because it took the best fighters from around the world and placed them in the ring in a one lost elimination tournament. While the story was shallow, the different styles of fighting from the various countries was extremely entertaining.

3) Fight club - This is probably the only movie on this list that has an actual story. The fighting in this movie was simple yet more realistic and brutal. The acting was superb which was needed to begin to believe that a skinny Edward Norton could ever make it in an underground fight club.


4) Ong Bak - Probably the best movie on this list in terms of actual fight scenes. Several times throughout the movie my jaw dropped. Tony Ja pulled off stunts that Jackie Chan could only dream of. The scene were he jumps over the car still blows my mind.

5) Best of the Best - Another older movie that I first saw as a kid. This revolves around a tournament that puts a five man team from the US against a five man team from Korea. While the fight scenes are extremely outdated compared to today's standards, the overall movie is still very entertaining.
