'From Russia with Love', Bond and Grant on the Orient Express.

Yes, must have been quite shocking back in 1965 or whenever, still holds up well today.

Harrison Ford in 'Witness', facing up to the bullies. One punch. Game over. Not a fight as such but probably typical of many real-life 'fights'.

Basically the whole of Raid 2, but if I had to pick one:

[spoilers & obviously NSFW]

The prison fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw4w2GhkBKA

Actually the hammer girl subway scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncoGCXWf96s
No, definitely hammer girl & baseball bat guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHt6sYe9w9M

Female assassins in The Night Comes for Us? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-g8z7y_Cms

Or TV wise, Preacher:

Seraphim (pt 3): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJPBT52W2vQ

Bud Spencer with Terrance Hill fight scenes in the Trinity western films are class.
Spencer’s hammer top of head punches are monumental....

[Tannedbaldhead]

Midnight Express.

The John west bear fight ad sticks in my memory , google it if your under 40 , also I watched a movie on a plane that included a naked fight scene in some sort of Turkish baths or massage parlour , I can't remember what it was called ? I seem to remember it was more just wrong than a good fight , naked blokes giving each other a kicking !!!

Snowman and the bikers in Smokey and the Bandit.

(Gun) fight in the bar in Desperado.

Fair play to whoever mentioned the John West bear fight, possibly the best advert ever to appear on television. I see no contest.

I can't believe no one else did , it's the most unlikely fight scene ever .

[Terzo123]

The fight in Saving Private Ryan between the German soldier and the American, which ends with the American receiving a length of steel, always stands out for me. I try to avoid that scene whenever I rewatch the film.

John and Ted in "Ted"
Cracks me up every time
Volume down for the language if at work. The actual fight starts around 1.25

No specific scene stands out for me but generally speaking, The Raid, The Raid 2 and The Night Comes for Us all have fantastic fights in them.

Good fight scene in Atomic Blonde too - the one on the staircase.

Please refer to my post above. Great minds and all that...

Quantum of solace was not a great film, but the scene where he fights the archaeologist in his hotel room is properly brutal, my favourite bond fight. It’s always edited when it’s on TV.
