Can we make a definitive list of only the best fighting movies.
Rules: All non-weaponed fighting styles allowed. Must be somewhat realistic so Blood and Bone or Disputed are not allowed.
Bonus points for Boxing and MMA
Also only the best. So don't name all you know but only the kinoest. Preferably no depressing shit a la Rocky 1.
I start:
Warrior
Never Back Down
Rocky 3-4
Kickboxer (Better than Bloodsport)

all the mma ones have been garbage.
and how the hell is rocky 1 more depressing than 4? his friend was literally beat to death. in 1 he found his soul mate and lost a close decision to a world champ when everyone considered him a bum before.
On the Waterfront (1954)
Rocky 1 isn't a fighting movie anyway, so it doesn't apply
>kinos
>non-weaponed
Is everyone on the board 13?
The Jet Li version of Fist of Legend. Skates the line perfectly between brutal realism and over the top kung fu bullshit nonsense. youtube.com
Also, Never Back Down is aids.
I remember the love interest in Never Back Down being hot as fuck, and that scene where the little brother is a cockblock and then when he leaves, the girl mounts the fighter guy or something.
Haven't seen it since it came out.
It was Amber Heard's breakthrough movie
Gay weakling beta cuck nofun detected
wtf it was Amber Heard?
Nah you just have shit taste.
She had such a perfect Girl Next Door look in that movie. Elon Musk is lucky, so long as she doesn't go mental on him.
Yeah
Fugg I'm getting old
Sorry you had no friends in high school and overcompensate by being a pretentous hypercritical film cunnysseur
>Elon Musk is lucky, so long as she doesn't go mental on him.
Warrior is the best mma movie there is.
>Elon Musk is lucky, so long as she doesn't go mental on him.
hahahaha
"good luck, bro" is all i can say to that shit

Why do redditors always use the word kino? Kino is such a Reddit word. You immediately know someone is a redditor as soon as they say kino.
Warrior was fucking bad
cliched hackneyed shit
the great white hope is kino
not a troll, it's actually a really good movie
Hello newfham
you said kino. go back to le leddit.
er, i'll join you in a second
Warrior was actually great.
>cliched
And? It never set out to reinvent the wheel. And if you saw the end of that film and felt nothing as a man then you are in dire need of test supplements.
TODAY
YOU WERE FAR AWAY
The ending was the most predictable possible thing. Like 15 minutes in it was completely apparent what would happen.
I felt for Tom Hardy's whole deal but Joel Edgerton's muh family thing was just like saccharine and melodramatic.
There were a couple of good fight scenes but the overall story just dragged it the hell down.
If they had removed Edgerton and the entire brothers storyline and the movie had just been Tom Hardy fighting to get the money for his buddy's widow I would have been sold.
I also just don't like Joel Edgerton as an actor though so I'll admit I'm pretty biased on this shit.
Totally spotted the redditor
>It never set out to reinvent the wheel.
This.
Im pretty it was made just to put the cliche boxing/sports story to MMA.
Edgerton was surprisingly good in the film. His performance was grounded and felt somewhat real (given the "Hollywood" treatment of the narrative to begin with) and held its own fine against both Hardy's and Nolte's performances. He wasn't a noticeable weak link at all in the film.
You are just being a stick in the mud right now, laddie.
I'm just giving my honest opinion in a thread talking about fighting movies.
I don't like Edgerton and I didn't like Warrior and I don't think it should be considered the best of anything.
>Must be somewhat realistic so Blood and Bone or Disputed are not allowed.
lol fuck your bullshit
>and I don't think it should be considered the best of anything.
Remember where you are. "The best" could simply mean the most kino. Not necessarily the most critically laudable.

anderson silva got me into watchin ufc
if they ever make a nigger terminator i hope they choose him and just have him melee all movie
maybe not really fighting but the 2 raid movies
It's fine to give your honest opinion your opinion is just shit.
The Koba fight was the only scene ever put to film where you get thrilled for the fight.
The music work and directing in this is severely underrated because of flaws in the writing
that's the only fight scene in any movie you've ever been thrilled by?
Yes
I remember watching him back in the late 2000's at Buffalo Wild Wings, back when you could go there on a major UFC PPV fight night with like 10 of your friends and half the tables would be empty. UFC watching will never again be that comfy.
ok
it just bugged me more than anything
edgerton got more or less beat to death and then pulled a win out of his ass because of determination and family and shit
it was less believable than rocky iv
Yeah I struggle to think of another fighter with that level of skill. In his prime totally unpredictable, yet completely measured. Shame he flew too close to the sun, got cocky and used old tricks on people who knew what he was up to.
>pulled a win out of his ass
Wat? He tried like 5 throws Koba all blocked. It's not unrealistic that a smaller fighter can beat a bigger one in ground fight. And yes that his determination means he would take a beating without giving up. What's wrong with that?
great noir kino.
i haven't seen the movie in like 5 years but i pretty distinctly remember thinking that any human being would have to be carted out of the ring if they got beat like he did no matter how much he loved his family
anyway whatever i think it's a bad movie you don't i'm not trying to argue about this all night
million dollar baby
the wrestler
Semi-unironically this
Which one?
...
I feel retarded but I don't understand this strip, someone explain please.
Some men are cool with sloppy seconds.
kino
The beating he took in the first round should have left him unconscious. He gets picked up and slammed into the ground multiple times, then repeatedly punched in the head for another minute. I know it's just a movie, but there's no way he'd be hopping around doing just fine after that.
Never Back Down is the best movie ever made
Here Comes the Boom inspired me to get a gym pass and get /fit/
>she doesn't go mental on him
>fags who are into dudes
