Yes it was.  The first ten times.

The 'bully brawl' (for lack of a more depreciating nomenclature) was absolute silliness.  I think the bowling-pin sound about 2/3rds of the way though did it for me.  And the fact that it accomplished nothing was pretty impressive from a screenwriting standpoint.

And don't forget the "Well?  Now what?" expressions on the Smiths' faces after Neo flew off.  Just looking around, shrugging, wondering what to do next.  Seriously.  All it needed was for one Smith to shout "After-Brawl party at my place!" and it would've been perfect.

I think the reason for it being in the film was to establish that Smith has gained new and frightening powers (and sound effects).  I don't care about WHY it was there, though - it's hilarious enough that it was.  I think Legendary Frog's Spoof says it best - the perfect parody.

Oh please, when the Green Ranger kicks the other Rangers' asses on Power Rangers and I'm not hearing any different.

In the first Indiana Jones when Jones is having a sword fight with this guy. And before they start fighting this guy is swinging his sword all over the place and doing these crazy moves and Indiana Jones pulls out his gun and casually shoots the guy.

Quote from: Spinless
The really awesome Jason vs Tommy where Tommy nearly kills jason was cool.
And the one where Tommy nearly gets killed by Goldar. Dammit, Goldar had too few moments where he was truly badass. When he nearly killed Jason was awesome. If I could re-write the power rangers timeline, I'd take out all the silly voices and mindless optimism, remove the nice lessons on morality and keep the humour repressed and non-stupid, and make the bad guys genuinely scary. For kids at least...

Eh, that was always the option faced by Power Rangers.  They could've gone the more serious road and made the baddies and goodies more badass, or they could've made it more slapstick and optimistic.  They took the latter route, is all.
What confused me was that the baddies always knew who the Rangers were.  So why didn't they just assassinate 'em?  Send in Goldar, after making him grow, and have him step on 'em.  Or maybe send more than one monster at once, which would have completely screwed the rangers.  Likewise, if the Rangers had just used the big robot from the first encounter with whatever monster they had to face - PROBLEM SOLVED!

Has anyone seen Tom Yum Goong? It stars Tony Jaa and has one of the shittest plots I've ever seen in a movie, and the acting is atrocious, but the fight scenes are friggin amazing!

first off, Fist of the North Star is so incredibly awesome (in both the good and the awful ways) that it trumps all else in anime.  FTW.  

Also:

Bodyguard from Beijing - not a great movie, but the final scene was awesome!  When Jet Li kicks a man's ass with miniblinds, you know you're watching something sweeeet.  :)

Edward Norton vs. Edward Norton!

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon probably has the most incredible fight scenes I've ever seen in a movie.

in the line of western fight scenes, I'm surprised that no one has yet mentioned the climax of "Tombstone".
Doc Holiday is dying of tuberculosis, dripping with sweat and almost crippled, and he still manages to pull faster than the guy fighting him. that character is the definition of a hardass.

What was the one set in the temple in Mexico with vampire things?

I've never heard anyone refer to a bordello as a "temple", but I guess you mean From Dusk Till Dawn.


At the end you see the bordello is inside a giant aztec temple/pyramid.

It saddens me that none of you have watched a western.

That's one of the worst - and funniest - fight scenes I've ever seen.

The best - definitely my favourite, but definitely one of the greatest, I feel - is the closing shopping mall fight scene from Jackie Chan's Police Story.

In the end, the thing people will remember is kindness.
