I’ve had a fascination with best fight scene and best chase scene after the Great Huggies Chase from Raising Arizona and the fencing between equals of The Princess Bride (my bias possibly being influenced by the Under-29 Female Effect).
But what about the worst? Ridicule is an equally fun form of entertainment, after all. And although I certainly appreciate creative and dated costumes (and am thus a big fan of the Tom Baker Doctor Whos), there’s something about the stones and non-stressed biceps in this clip that just makes me chuckle a little. And the fact that it’s William Shatner makes me chuckle a lot. If you feel I’m totally off on my best and worst finds, feel free to submit your own pics.
And speaking of stones, because I know we all want more reasons to kill more time, here’s an article I’m glad to read from a distance. I’m not sure I have the “stomach” for that one (yuk yuk yuk).
I love that scene. I’m pretty sure that the lizard-man is actually eating Kirk’s neck there despite the lack of a moving jaw. Still, my favorite bad fight scene is this. It’s bad in sooo many ways…
Oh, and for the record, my favorite fight scene is this:
Speaking of Trek fights, I nominate the Medieval Times duel between The Cable Guy and Steven as most epic fight ever.
I love the dramatic stumble-back after the monster throws Capt. K down right after that.
This Kirk fight contains the most degrading hit in Star Trek history. Wait until 0:18 for Kirk’s finishing move…..
This is, by far, the best-worst fight scene ever. . . .and it’s not even close.
Continuing the theme of brilliant shot-by-shot remakes of subpar fight scenes, here’s the South Park remake of the above They Live brawl.
Jeez, worst fight scene I’ve scene recently was Indiana Jones Crystal Skull. I think that entire movie might be the longest worst fight scene ever.
Here’s a couple kids acting it out (closest I could find on a 60 second youtube tour).
