Best Fight Sequence
Of these few top action/martial art movies, which one would you consider has the best action sequence?
Personally I pick Jackie Chan's Drunken Master II. How about you?
I realize that the list is quite short and very incomplete especially there are so many good action movies out there. I guess I should've probably retricted the focus to be more on the martial art/kung fu part.
Anyway, you can always post your favorite and vote for "Other".

If a thread needs to be moved, can people just report it without posting about it? The thread eventually gets moved to the right forum, but you have all these "OMG WRONG FORUM" posts still in it.

To make this not total cheese, of those, I'll probably be the only one to pick Crouching Tiger--there was a couple of fight sequences (Zhang Ziyi against the bandit guy, and against Michelle Yeoh) I really enjoyed.
Actually, in general I really like every fight scene I've ever seen Michelle Yeoh in.

equilibrium rocked! i havent seen some of the others so i cant compare (kiss of the dragon sucked IMO).
however, another one that i really loved and was unexpected in terms of great fight sequence was 'the transporter' bus scene.

Another for Equilibirum... especially that last one. Gun-Kata rules all! The DVD better have lots of BTS footage of the action sequences and a commentary, etc...

The finale of D.M. II is simply incredible. Ken Lo (Chan's bodyguard offscreen) should be a star.
Although his films are not as well choreographed as some of the more modern ones, Bruce Lee is untouchable with regard to fighting skill. In Return of the Dragon, he performs what may be the most astonishing martial arts move ever filmed: While fighting Bob Wall, he delivers a uni-footed double-kick (one to the ankle, one to the head) in the matter of a split second. No camera trickery, just unbelievable speed, flexibility, and power.

Rocky IV, when Rocky fights Ivan Drago and G.I. Jane, the fight between Viggo Mortensen and Demi Moore's charachters.
