James Gandolfini was in two good fight scenes in the Sopranos:
1. Fight with Ralphie in the kitchen
2. Fight with Bobby Bacala in the cabin

Another scene with James Gandolfini which in my opinion, supersedes any of them is the beating he threw to Patricia Arquette in the movie True Romance...which is the scene in which David Chase made his decision to cast Gandolfini as Tony Soprano. Also, the scene where he beat the shit out of Coco at his restaurant in Little Italy when he made him bite down on the fireplace.

The final episode of the most recent season (4) of Boardwalk Empire, where Eli beat to death the FBI agent.

Here's my favorite fight scene, which also takes place on a train.

Oh yea!! I remember in particular the fight scene with Ralphie in the kitchen. LOL The Sopranos thread which was always hopping on Sundays, was on fire that night. What a shocker that was. I miss those Sunday nights.

TIS

John Wayne in The Quiet man where he kicked some guys but all through town.

Just remembered the fight scene from Mean Streets in the pool hall

Ya. That's great.

The rumble in The Outsiders I always liked.

Cheesiest scene of the whole movie I thought.

"What's a mook?"

I'm just about to begin Boardwalk Empire Season Four so thanks very much to the douchebag who actually revealed the outcome of that Eli-Knox contest!

I echo MaryCas re Tony-Bobby in The Sopranos. Jesse-Walt in Breaking Bad matches it for showing how utterly exhausting and clumsy fights tend to be.

The rain-drenched finale of Paradise Alley.

Classic!

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the biker scene in the bar from "A Bronx Tale". I always thought the choice of music during the scene was especially ironic.

"Now youse can't leave."

Classic!

Off topic: Why can't we embed Youtube videos anymore?

Good question. Dunno. Geoff will have to investigate.

A few of my favourites. The hallway fight scene from Oldboy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IspheJGJiYI

This scene from Ip Man even though it's incredibly cheesy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXOiqHOdLjs

Pretty much any fight scene from Hero. The cinematography in this scene in particular is amazing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGq6FXcpxtY

I also found this hilarious - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnESWtnURrQ

Good point about not being able to embed videos anymore, i don't think it's that much of a problem but i think people are more likely to watch it if it's embedded.

Google has upgraded youtube to always use https. But embed code is set up for http. Until the powers that be upgrade board to follow you can still embed video just by dropping the "s".

Lilo,

I love that fight scene. I was gonna post it but figured I'd be the only one who likes it. As over the top, far fetched as it was, I still loved it.



TIS

Cool. Thanks, Lilo.

That was a FIGHT, wasn't it TIS I love 80s sci-fi/horror movies.


No problem!

Lilo i edited and dropped the s in the videos i posted but it's still not embedding. Do you think i would need to repost them? Or have i completely misunderstood you, and the s is notthe one after the http? Thanks in advance.

It's working for me Camarel. When you use the video tags and use "http://www.youtube.com/...." between the tags it should work for you as well.

[video:youtube] enter your youtube video link here using http instead of https [/video]

Sonny and Carlo in The Godfather.

Thanks Lilo i think i just needed to repost it

Oldboy-



Ip Man-

It's not the best, but it might be the funniest
