rukaio101 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) To throw a bit of animation into the mix, the titular battle of Doldrey in Berserk Golden Age Arc II: The Battle for Doldrey. (Contains some NSFW elements) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoXognXhqXA Couldn't find a clip covering the whole battle, so here's just one small (not fantastically edited together) part of it.

baumer Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The final fight in The Raid is the best hand to hand combat scenario I've ever seen. It lasts for about 15 minutes and it absolutely left me breathless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Some of you are still confusing "fights" with "battles." They're not the same thing because a battle has a distinct military context between groups of at least noteworthy size.Stuff like the hand-to-hand duels in The Raid, The Bride vs. the Crazy 88, any lightsaber fight in Star Wars, etc, none of those are battles.

4815162342 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 It's used as an expression. Duel of Wits would be the technically accurate term but English loves its idioms and turns of phrases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Community Manager Water Bottle Posted March 12, 2014 Community Manager Share Posted March 12, 2014 Mutara Nebula Battle is just as great though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yes! The Mutara Nebula was like an old school submarine duel, blindily searching in the ocean. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) You are all just real sticklers on what a battle is, aren't y'all? Here, the first scene of Gladiator is one of mine. Even though I still think the Anchorman battle counts as one, I mean Brick spears a guy with a trident, it's nothing like West Side Story's knife fight.

rukaio101 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Nope. It's no more a battle than the dance fights in West Side Story. Hey, I'll have you know the Dance off of Agincourt is considered a very important battle in British history! Much funkyfresh blood was spilt that day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vc2002 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 It shouldn't be considered as a battle, but Peter Jackson's King Kong fighting the 3-dino gang was pretty badass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
