Hey Edward, It wasn't an attack. I'm sorry if it came across as one. It was a real question. There ARE areas in the country where people have more exposure to the realities of violence. I thought you might have lived in one at some point. That is all I was talking about. No insult intended. And yes, I agree with you about the rest. I do indeed believe that accurate portrayal of violence as well as the context it occurs in does reduce inappropriately violent behavior and this has been backed up by a number of psychological/sociological studies as have the studies which show that just discussing the realities of what people watch with them helps a great deal, such as parents talking to their kids about the violence they are exposed to. It has also proven to be an effective therapy in some cases of persons victimized by violent behaviors as some of my studies at the psychiatric institute clearly indicated and there are others. Believe me, I know all too well what sort of things people can do to other people. I won't go into the gory details. I have worked many jobs in my life from cop to psychologist as well as gotten enmeshed in some really ugly situations when I tried to help people out on a personal basis and had it turn into huge hassles and vindictive backlash. That would be a very long series of postings in it's' own right. I've also been in several movies, as a stunt person/actor, and have had some very heated discussions with directors and fight coordinator wannabees who put the well being of the actors at risk or just had stupid ideas of what was realistic. I also have the privelege of knowing and having worked with some of the top martial artists and fight coordinators in the world, as well as some of the worst. For a laugh you can see me beating up George Dzundza with a baseball bat in the film, "What she doesn't know." It was a foam bat and he was wearing armor under his jacket by the way. He was a great guy to work with too.

"I don't know where you live but from what I have seen the vast majority of people who watch tv and film don't have the least clue what is real, realistic or extremely implausible." I live on Earth. On Earth, millions of people watch horrific things in movies and TV almost every night and somehow manage to not kill each other. On Earth, BILLIONS of people regularly read religious texts and profess love for their fellow man and engage in some of the most despicable acts in human history. Also on Earth, some folks do horrible things to other folks, and, rather than accept responsibility for it and acknowledge that they're being beastly (perhaps an insult to beasts), they try to blame it on movies, video games, and the Salad Bar Demon at Wendy's. Do you really think that ACCURATELY portraying violence in movies and TV shows will lessen violent behavior?! Whether or not it's crap, though, is a whole different issue. 8)

>Well, not to the vast, vast majority of people who watch it. I don't know where you live but from what I have seen the vast majority of people who watch tv and film don't have the least clue what is real, realistic or extremely implausible. Do you mean the movie "They Live?" Don't get me wrong, I really like movies that let me blow of steam and frustration with people, which is why I play games like HALO as well but the fact is that 99% of what they put out is pure crap and it really does have negative impact on what people do because they have incorrect beliefs about the actual results of their actions and the use of martial skills or lack thereof.

"We seem to expect our public entertainment to be somehow improving and morally instructive, and I'm not sure why it's still required to carry that burden, when there are so many other things public entertainment can be." I think we expect OURSELVES to be "good" and when we're not, it's easy to blame something else. It's unfortunate that horror movies and the like get that. I can't remember the last time someone blew up a schoolbus in the name of Tobe Hooper...

"...perpetuating an atmosphere of mythical perceptions about violence which leads to inappropriate decisions and attitudes." Well, not to the vast, vast majority of people who watch it. I'm all for showing violence in a movie, especially one where violence is the object. When I watch "They Life", I get a kick out of the fact that these two guys are beaten to shit for nearly the rest of the movie. But I advocate it for the pleasure of watching it -- not because I think it'll somehow help people become nicer.

I like the old Sam Peckinpah/George Romero/Don Siegel nastiness BECAUSE it is nasty and more like actual violence in the actual world. Not that these three gents were quite the low-end chunk-meat merchants of that decade, like some of the z-grade horror crowd. Not that Sam Peckinpah wasn't balletic! Howard Hawks complained of him, "I can kill FIVE men the time it takes him to kill ONE!"

Enh. I must say, I share the current cultural taste for balletic violence. I strongly prefer it stylized and bloodless to '70s movie violence, which was just pure sadistic brutality for the sake of it. One of the things that was so excellent about the old Buffy series is that it differentiated, often gut-wrenchingly, between killing monsters and injuring humans.

Certain. That's understood. I agree about the lack of trauma and real consequences. The single biggest problem with media violence and the issues with negative impact on behavior is the lack of showing proper outcomes which are the result of the actions of the people involved and it perpetuating an atmosphere of mythical perceptions about violence which leads to inappropriate decisions and attitudes. Violence without context and logical results leads to delusional behavior in people who are impressionable, as are almost all younger people and many adults.

That's correct, of course, but PbA's right from an onlooker's standpoint, which is precisely where a movie puts one! That's one of the problem's I've always had with most post-1970s movie violence- combat goes on forever without visible trauma.

re: Wizards i have to argue with you about the "superiority" issue. Blackwolf's main weapon was all about *Shock and Awe* -- something that hadn't ever been seen (in that age); i don't think it was ever really superior to magic, just new and scary. So for Avatar to use a weapon was definitely a suprise -- it wasn't what Blackwolf was expecting or prepared for -- which i think was more the point. but ironic either way... dontcha think?

isn't the hypocrassy of the climax almost the entire point of the movie? of course Blackwolf technology was superior... that was never the issue... it was the use of it. still if that is the case, it never really resolves itself. that is one of the things that i love about it! and hate.

That scene was such a problem for me. I mean, it really wasn't a fight, and the annoying thing is that Avatar uses one of Blackwolf's weapons to defet Blackwolf -- which affirms the superiority of Blackwolf's weapons. Makes me shake my head...

the most memorable fight scene i can think of is still from a movie called WIZARDS. animated (probably a cult classic) but i love the part when the good wizard looks at his (twin) brother and says "I'm going to show you sumthin that mom showed me when you were away!" then he pulls out a gun and blows the evil wizard away. talk about the sudden end of a climax!

The John Goodman fight in "Arizona" was fantastic too. Large men, small space, textured plaster.

Shark vs. Zombie from Fulci's Zombi I know, technically not people, but it works for me.

Again, any hand to hand fights featuring Bud Spencer are GOLD! The large actor would throw these ridiculous punches which could send an oppenent sailing into the air and land about a mile away. Other than that, the battle of wits and skills between Gordon Liu and his bride to be in Heroes of the East were fascinating. rarely have I seen such clever use of chopsticks and eggs in a lovers' spat.

Ricky-oh: The Story of Ricky - Pretty much the whole damn movie. Highlights include a prisonyard fight where a man gets disemboweled and tries to strangle his attacker with his own dangling entrails. Another classic shot has our main character punching his fist thru an opponent's skull. The ending fight in Darkman also is another good one.

* The botched robbery at Northfield, Minnesota in "The Long Riders." * The nasty Rod Taylor/William Smith brawl at the end of "Darker Than Amber." Two large, strong men smash the bloody matter-of-fact hell out of each other in a small room, with the villian winning only to flip out and get caught by cops minutes later. This 60s rarity was directed by Robert Clouse, who went on to do "Enter The Dragon." * Fred Williamson and crew smoke a house full of L.A. mafiosi in "Black Caesar." * The mall takeover in the original "Dawn of the Dead." * Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing duel to the death in "Horror of Dracula." * The extended bit in "The Great McGinty" in which Brian Donlevy, collecting protection money for gangsters, goes from being polite to punching out his "clients.' * The final shootout in "The Killer Elite." * John Wayne goes to glory, taking three hardasses with him in "The Shootist." *

Practically all the fight scenes from The Warriors were largely entertaining.

Your swordfight brought to mind "A Princess Bride" with Mandy Patamkin and Cary Elwes. Should we keep it to B- Movies though?

Couple others I thought of: "Raising Arizona", between Nicholas Cage and the Biker character, had a comically epic feel about it. "Mark of Zorro" (NOT "Mask..." ugh), between Tyrone Power and Basil Rathbone, a great furious duel, accentuated by the pinging of the swords.

2 Days in the Valley - between Charlieze Theron and Teri Hatcher. Not to be missed. Evil Dead II - Bruce Campbell vs his hand. House of Flying Daggers - The bamboo grove. Enter the Dragon - The whole damn movie.

I've had a chance to go through lots of fight scenes lately. "Mean Streets" has a hilarious fight scene in a bar. In particular, two guys beating a third one around the room while the camera follows them. "Kill Bill vol 1" has a great living room fight. "Troy" has a terrific fight between Hector and Achilles "They Live" has a delightful fight "Fatal Attraction" had an amazing fight between Michael Douglas and Glenn Close (I had forgotten about it) "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" had a great courtyard fight scene -- I think it's the first big fight in the movie. "The Wild Bunch" big shootout. Wow. The bank heist in "Heat". Pretty cool. This was a hella fun evening!

Completely going against the '2 person' preference of the original post, I am going to nominate the all-in brawl at the end of the Wanderers... two stand out moments amongst money are the guy who leaps backwards _before_ a bench sweeps his feet out from under him, and the cry : 'Fuck, its the Ducky boys!' Oooh, scary GaryQ

One of my favorites is also the only good scene from "Superman 3". Christopher Reeve did a great job in using different fighting styles as Clark Kent fighting Superman. For all-out chaos is the end fight in "The Cannonball Run" - it's just a hoot.

What are some of your favorite fight scenes? Preferably 2-person fight scenes, but I'm also interested in seeing larger scenes, such as the gunfight in The Wild Bunch, and the bank heist in Heat. One of my perennial favorites is the "glasses" fight in They Live. "Put on the glasses!"
