Enter the Dragon - Bruce Lee Chest Crusher

Lee(Bruce Lee) goes up against Oharra(Robert Wall), the man responsible for the death of his sister. With revenge on his mind, Lee makes his opponent look foolish as Oharra never lands a single blow. Han declares the bout over, but Oharra tries to continue when Lee's back is turned. Lee drops Oharra to the ground then leaps into the air and with all his weight, crushes Oharra's chest as he lets out his trademark death cry. The most one-sided fight in cinema history, a great finishing move, and a classic scene...

Universal Soldier - Discharged

The final fight between Luc Devereaux(Jean-Claude Van Damme) and Sergeant Andrew Scott (Dolph Lundgren) in the 1992 film Universal Soldier. The fight basically starts out like the first round in Rocky IV, a complete Ivan Drago ass kicking. That is until Devereaux injects himself with a "muscle enhancer" and goes...well Van Damme on him. His roid rage rampage on Lundgren's face gets to the point of ridiculousness until he kicks him through the barn, revealing the giant hay harvester in the background. After about five more kicks, Devereaux gives Scott the final blow, sending him flying into the spikes of the harvester. Ah, he must be dead. NOPE, he grabs Devereaux's head and tries to impale it on one of the spikes in a desperate last attempt. After a short struggle, Devereaux snaps Scott's arm and hits the switch on the harvester. The machine turns on and grinds the Sergeant's body into pieces. WATCH IT HERE

Under Siege - Eye Gouge, Head Stab

Ah, the 90's....when beepers were cool and Steven Seagal movies were...well NOT direct-to-video. The guy hasn't had a worldwide theatrical release since...*GULP*..Half Past Dead in 2002, although he will have a role in the upcoming film Machete, as a drug lord named Torrez. You might not be able to name any of his newer Straight-to-Video films, but there's a reason we liked Steven Seagal movies so long ago....

Try Under Siege for example. In the finale, Casey Ryback(Steven Seagal) and Bill Strannix(Tommy Lee Jones) go head-to-head in a nicely choreographed knife fight to the death. In the struggle, Ryback snatches Strannix's knife away with his teeth then uses his thumb to push Strannix's eyeball back into his brain. As Strannix moans in pain, Ryback stabs the knife into the top of Strannix's skull up to the handle, killing him instantly. Then just for good measure, Ryback smashes Strannix's head into a computer monitor.....THAT my friends, is a patented Steven Seagal movie kill. You know those scenes where it looks like the bad guy is dead, but then he gets back up for one more shot? You don't see any of those in Seagal flicks.

But what happened to Seagal? What's the difference between old Seagal movies and new Seagal movies? Well, other than about 100 pounds. Two words....EYE GOUGE. Screwface in Marked for Death, Strannix in Under Siege, the guy hasn't had a good eye gouge in almost 20 years. Just Sayin'

Goemon - Hong-man Choi Splits

Director Kazuaki Kiriya effortlessly oozes out an amazing visual style in his films. Kiriya who wrote, directed, and edited the live action sci-fi film Casshern, pushes the stylistic envelope with his newest film, Geomon. The movie tells the story of folk legend Goemon Ishikawa, a bandit hero who stole valuables from the rich and gave them to the poor. The movie is full of amazing action sequences and imagery that are heavily anime-esque, leaving you stuck in your seat. In this scene our hero Goemon takes on Gao, played by K-1 giant Choi Hong-man. After a couple close calls from Gao's ridiculously large sword, Geomon slides under his legs then proceeds to slice him up the middle, causing his body to slice in half in Takashi Miike fashion.

Book of Eli - Fight Scenes

This scene sets the tone for the violence and gives us a glimpse of how amazing the action sequences are. Sure Mila Kunis was cringe-worthy and the ending was a little cheesy, but the film was beautifully shot with a cool setting reminiscent to the classic game Fallout. Then there's that little issue of the religious overtone, "too preachy" some say, well lets put it this way: The film is about a Christian causing unnecessary violence over a material possession that turns out to be meaningless in the end........makes sense to me.

Eli(Denzel Washington) arrives in a ramshackle town run by Carnegie(Gary Oldman). He is soon harassed by Carnegie's book searching henchmen. As the gang surround Eli, he recites a line from Genesis then proceed slice his way through them with his machete. The camera rotates around the fight as heads are decapitated and bodies are impaled in a visual orgasm of violence.

It's been announced that the Hughes brothers are now in control of the live-action adaptation of Akira. I am always against remakes, but since it is a reworking of the manga and NOT the Anime, I am OK with this. Akira Part 1 is on course to be released in 2011 and Part 2 in 2012.

Passenger 57 - Always Bet on Black

Former police officer John Cutter(Wesley Snipes) and international terrorist Charles Rane(Bruce Payne) engage in a prolonged fistfight 35,000 ft in the air. Just as the bad guy gets the upper hand the cabin door explodes outward, giving our hero a chance to gain the advantage with a few kidney punches. As Cutter and Rane continue to fight, they head closer to the open cabin door. Cutter gives Rane a couple kicks to the groin weakening his grip. A final kick to the face sends Rane through the door, where he falls a very long way to his death.

Die Hard 2: Die Harder - Into the Turbine

As the bad guys are trying to make their escape, John McClane does what he does best, not let them. Major Grant(John Amos) and McClane duke it out on the wing of the escape plane. Major Grant says "too bad McClane, I kinda liked you." McClane gets the upper hand and knocks Major Grant onto the edge of the wing above the turbine. McClane replies, “I’ve got enough friends.” He kicks Grant into the turbine and we see blood splatter all over the side of the plane.

Romeo Must Die - X-RAY Head Kick

As with many formulaic fights, it usually starts out pretty even. The protagonist and antagonist exchange a couple well choreographed punches and kicks. Soon the villain gains the upper hand through some dirty trick and the hero proceeds to get his ass kicked. But on the verge of defeat, the good guy gets a sudden burst of adrenaline and defeats the evildoer. Well this fight is exactly like that, BUT! This one happens to have a pretty good movie death to end it.

An ode to Sonny Chiba in The Street Fighter perhaps? When Russell Wong gets his head kicked in, we get a computer generated image of his head and spinal column shattering. In The Street Fighter, After getting a bad guy on his knees, Sonny jumps and punches him directly on top of the head- the scene then cuts to an X-RAY VIEW of the dude's head getting bashed in. Two very similar and epic scenes.

Duel to the Death - Over the Top

Sometimes there are films that can hook you into a genre. Watch Oldboy and you will have a new passion for Korean films. Watch Seven Samurai or Shogun's Assassin and you'll have an addiction to samurai movies. Like those, the 1983 film Duel to the Death will open your eyes to the world of wuxia films. Forget Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Duel to the Death is one of the last old school Hong Kong martial arts epics. This movie has it all. Fast paced fight scenes, beautiful cinematography, compelling characters, and most of all.....Ninjas. Surf Ninjas! Sand Ninjas! Exploding Ninjas! Tree Ninjas! Flying Ninjas! Giant Ninjas! Even naked female Ninjas! Truly one of the most action packed high flying martial arts films ever. In this clip, Japanese Master Hashimoto goes one-on-one with a corrupt Japanese official. The result is a hilarious over the top decapitation.

Enter the Dragon - Han's Death

Fleeing into a hall of mirrors, Han escapes Lee's brutal beatdown. But Lee has difficulty locating Han due to all the confusing reflections. Recalling his Sifu's teachings, Lee smashes the mirrors to "destroy the enemy's illusions and draw out the enemy's real form". He eventually faces Han in combat and knocks Han right onto the sharp point of a spear, impaling Han and killing him.

Roadhouse - Throat Rip

Way of the Dragon - Bruce Lee vs Chuck Norris

The final duel takes place between Tang Lung(Bruce Lee) and the best of the foreign martial artists, Colt(Chuck Norris) in the Roman Colosseum. Two worlds collide in this fight: Chuck’s modern karate style fighting and Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. If there were a martial arts Hall Of Fame, this fight would be in it. EPIC.

Demolition Man - Heads Up!

One of the best instantly freezing and shattering movie deaths ever happens to one of the best movie villains ever. Wesley Snipes as Simon Phoenix stole the show in the 1993 movie, Demolition Man. In this scene John Spartan and Simon Phoenix have their final fight and Phoenix gets his head kicked off. Be well.

Irreversible - Severe Head Trauma

After watching this clip your first words might be, "Whoa, that's pretty violent" or if you're like me, "Holy Shit, that's fuckin' awesome." Either way, you're going to have some kind of reaction to this ultra violent scene from the French film Irreversible. That's exactly what director Gaspar Noé wanted, in fact initial footage using a latex dummy wasn't violent enough, so they used C.G.I. (if you look closely you can see the digital augmentations) to kick it up a notch. The movie starring Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci(Google her immediately)was so controversial Newsweek stated that it was the "most walked-out-of movie of the year."

Equilibrium - Face Slice

An unknown movie called Equilibrium came out in 2002 that starred Christain Bale and Taye Diggs. The movie didn't do well in theaters, in fact it bombed. The movie went away so fast that some people didn't even know it existed. As years went by it was rediscovered and it has grown into a large cult following. The movie is set in a post-apocalyptic world war III and has some of the best action sequences since The Matrix. This clip is just a bread crumb of the giant cake of awesome this film is. If you have never seen this film do yourself a favor and watch it. No, in fact buy this movie immediately, you will not regret it. For those of you who have seen it, leave a comment and give us your thoughts.
