Worst action scenes

[hammerhedd11]

I can't think of any right now but what do you think had some of the worst action of fight scenes in movie history?

[Poetic Chaos]

Robocop Vs. Cain

[L0ngsh0t]

Neo vs Agent Smith in Revolutions, worst build up for a fight ever, it looked like Mew v Mewtwo ala Pokemon the movie, but worse

[skorponok]

The theatrical cut version of the fight at Josie's bar in Daredevil is pretty uncomprehensible...

The DC version, however...has just the right touch...

While I'm on the subject of MSJ, I'm saddened to say that most of the action scenes in GHOST RIDER rank as some of the worst :(

[L0ngsh0t]

yes ghost rider is just one of the worst movies ever in all facets

[Mr. Credible]

Neo vs Agent Smith in Revolutions, worst build up for a fight ever, it looked like Mew v Mewtwo ala Pokemon the movie, but worse

wrong. it may have been dissapointing (for you) but it is harldy the 'worst'... it still had some of the best choreography and convincing cgi to date, and easily the best cgi human face ever put on film. that alone puts it far, far north of 'worst'.

if you want to talk about worst, then how about that corny 'sword-wheel 3-way fight' in pirates 2? or the barely visable 'batman vs. everyone in the film' fighting in batman begins... hm?

[Mr. Credible]

Robocop Vs. Cain


again, wrong... you guys must not watch many movies.


that was one of the best, and most brutal fight scenes of it's time, and still (for the most part) holds up today.

the fight scene in robocop 3 was bad... pic that, if you must, since it is infinately worse than the robocop 2 fight scenes.

[Poetic Chaos]

It looked like claymation at several points.

[L0ngsh0t]

Define worst, cause sure everything in robocop 3, or ultraviolet is worse than Revolutions, but they also wheren't made for 200 million dollars, with 2 of the best action scene directors, and possibley the best choreogropher in world working on them, for that I call it the worst...the cgi may have been awesome, it was still about 1/3000th their original fight in the matirx, or any scene in the orignal matrix, or reloaded, all it was where two people flying at eachother for 15 mintues, like I said watch the mew v mewtow fight in pokemon the movie, and then watch the matrix revolutions fight, it is the exact same scene, I think the final move is even the same where the two go crashing into the ground, or someone throws them into the ground or something..both the 3 man sword fight, and everything in Batman Begins owns it imo

its like I say Ghost Rider, and DaVinci Code are the two worst movies I have ever seen....now, yes Sin Sisters, or Just my luck, are indeed worse movies, but they also wheren't made for the rediculous money the two I mentioned where made for, they don't have source material that they could (especially in GR's case) make a string of A movies if they just followed it, they didn't have the talents of Nic Cage, or Tom Hanks, and (in DVC's case) didn't have an excellent director in Ron Howard

Sure there are worse, but letdowns of that mammoth of proportions are worth more than just a bad movie, with bad production values

[lordofthenerds]

Ghost Rider vs. Blackheart and his henchmen.

[Storm22]

Looking back on it now, the Vader vs. Obi-Wan saber fight in ANH is pretty painful to watch.

[L0ngsh0t]

Ghost Rider vs. Blackheart and his henchmen.

Wind Guy "You can't catch the wind"
2 seconds later
GR"Oh yes I can"
end of fight

[Hunter Rider]

If we are talking big budget i'd say the Bridge sequence in F4 is up there as one of the worst,some of the editing was dreadful

All of Tomb Raider 2,the concepts were cool but the execution and editing was appaling

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Just about every action scene in the first X-Men movie. I also hated Batman Begins action scenes and DareDevils. I'll put SR in there to, only because the so-called action scenes were all about Supes lifting heavy things. Keep up the good work Singer, at least you managed decent but subpar action in X2!:up:

X1 is brutle, Wolverine vs Sabretooth was so anticlimatic, and sucked the whole way through

[Storm22]

Wolverine vs. Sabretooth wasn't too good alright but Mystique vs. Wolverine was great imo.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

X1 is brutle, Wolverine vs Sabretooth was so anticlimatic, and sucked the whole way throughI obviously agree 110%. I greatly dislike that using the claws to get back on the Statue of Liberty thing, it looks so ridiculous. I thought I was watching some awful WWE fight.

[Kevin Roegele]

Watch the 'fight' between Pierce Brosnan and RoboCop at the finale of Die Another Day. It's shockingly lame.

[L0ngsh0t]

Wolverine vs. Sabretooth wasn't too good alright but Mystique vs. Wolverine was great imo.

It was good, but when in ether characters history has Mystique as her self been able to stay in a fight with Wolverine? Comics/TAS Wolverine would have mauled her in 2 seconds

sorry, i disagree... i just don't have the energy to go into it, but suffice it to say that there was NOTHING wrong with the 'super-burly brawl' in revolutions... sure, maybe it didn't live up to all your hopes and dreams, but that hardly makes bad. there was nothing bad about it.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

The action scenes in the awful Matrix sequels were terrible because the movies didn't resinate with me. Bad acting, dialogue and lame storytelling killed those movies for me.

I liked the RoboCop Vs. Caine fight...sue me.

[Storm22]

It was good, but when in ether characters history has Mystique as her self been able to stay in a fight with Wolverine? Comics/TAS Wolverine would have mauled her in 2 seconds

But that's what makes Mystique so great in the movies imo, she's able to hold her own and kick ass, she's menacing and deadly.

[blind_fury]

Batman Begins.

You can't see anything with the chop and blur editing.

Worst fight scenes ever.

[blind_fury]

And the Daredevil playground fight scene is embarrassing to watch. It's just so lame.

[Mr. Credible]

those things have nothing to do with the action scenes.

[Poetic Chaos]

lol true fact

:up:

[Wolfwood]

I thought the Matrix Revolution fight was great, it's the main reason I pull out that movie to watch. However, I thought the Neo vs. 100 Agent Smiths fight in Reloaded was a little dull. It was great at first, but then it just felt like it dragged on longer then it should have.

Batman Begins- Cut way too quickly, I get that we're supposed to get the idea that Batman fights really fast and is brutal, but they don't have to do it for every single fight.

Yoda vs. Count Dooku- I started LMAO when Yoda went crazy on Dooku and was bouncing around the room and flipping all over. It just didn't feel right.

[L0ngsh0t]

Its not that it didn't live up to my hopes and dreams, its that it didn't live up to anything they have done previous to that...you can go after me all you want, and for valid reason, but the fact remains that every fight previous to that in the matrix saga is far superior, and that is the climatic 'this means everything' 'this is for human kind' battle, is nothing more than Mew v Mewtwo

Dissapointing to me? Very, dissapointing to everything else Matrix? Unbelivebley

[Warhammer]

- Mace Windu vs. Palpatine
- Obi-Wan vs. Count Dooku
- Anakin vs. Count Dooku (Attack of the Clones)
- Matt Murdock vs. Elektra (Both of them)

[Carmine Falcone]

Anything with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill.

well, as much as i'd like to argue with you... the fact that you have "smokin' aces'" in your top five of the year pretty much proves my point for me... so... yeah.

[Noir]

Kirk and Picard VS Soran in Star Trek: Generations, William Shatner + Patrick Stewart + Malcolm McDowell = a really really sad and anti-climatic fight scene between 3 old guys :(

[lordofthenerds]

- Mace Windu vs. Palpatine
- Obi-Wan vs. Count Dooku
- Anakin vs. Count Dooku (Attack of the Clones)
- Matt Murdock vs. Elektra (Both of them)
I agree with you that those weren't exactly good, but worst ever?

[Warhammer]

^Not really, I guess.
On these threads, I just list whatever bad ones pop in my head.

[Golgo-13]

Poison Ivy vs Batgirl in 'Batman and Robin'.
Batman vs Mr.Freeze in 'Batman and Robin'

[cryptic name]

It looked like claymation at several points.

because it was? that doesn't make it bad

[Noir]

How about Green Goblin VS Macy Grey in SM1?

[Warhammer]

^Haha.

.........wait, what?

[Episode29]

The climactic fight between Liu Kang and Shao Khan in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Those animalities were clay-tastic!

Hulk vs Absorbing Dad in Hulk. I had no idea what happened at the end of that one. "Did he just turn into an energy cloud??? F%ck this movie blows!"

The big Ghost Rider/Blackheart "fight".

Roddy Piper vs Keith David in They Live. It's like 20 minutes of "Try on the glasses!" "NO!" Punch, punch, kick. "Now will you try on the glasses?" "NOOOOO!" Punch, punch, kick, kick, etc.

Any of the fistfights in either Every Which Way But Loose or Any Which Way You Can.

[Catman]

Remember that Martin Lawrence movie, National Security? The last action scene was dumb, over the top (in a bad way), and ridiculous!

Kirk and Picard VS Soran in Star Trek: Generations, William Shatner + Patrick Stewart + Malcolm McDowell = a really really sad and anti-climatic fight scene between 3 old guys :(

lol :D

[Kevin Roegele]

Kirk and Picard VS Soran in Star Trek: Generations, William Shatner + Patrick Stewart + Malcolm McDowell = a really really sad and anti-climatic fight scene between 3 old guys :(

But it was both believable and quite exciting. You did genuinely believe Picard and Kirk were in danger and that they might now stop Soran in time. It's less ambitious and spectacular, but more satisfying than the Burly Brawl, for instance.

[hitmanyr2k]

I would have to say the football fight scene in Romeo Must Die is probably the worst action scene I've ever seen. The wire work was embarassingly bad and out of place in that scene (and just about everywhere else in that movie).

[I_Hate_U_All]

wtf. It says action scenes. Are fights action scenes? I thought action scenes were when some guy was running away from big explosions. All of those suck in movies.

edit: never mind. first post mentions fights too.

Worst fight, I guess all the ones in x3 count. They were crap.

FF has it share as well.

[L0ngsh0t]

well, as much as i'd like to argue with you... the fact that you have "smokin' aces'" in your top five of the year pretty much proves my point for me... so... yeah.

Ooooo, mr big shot "L0ngsh0t likes smokin aces his taste in movies must suck" Yeah I really liked it sure, but just take a step back and think about how many possible movies would I have seen, and would smokin aces be better than them...the answer is the only other movies I have seen that are 2007 release besides the ones I have listed are TMNT, Ghost Rider, and No. 23....and honestly you can say what you want about Smokin Aces, I did love it...but seriously it destroys those other three GR and No. 23 might be two of the worst movies i have ever seen


And Revolutions/ the final fight in revolutions still sucks imo cause you have done far to little to convince me other wise

on the other hand the freeway chase in Reloaded might be one of the best actions scenes ever, so it evens out a bit for the Matrixs, not to mention the famous lobby scene

[L0ngsh0t]

- Mace Windu vs. Palpatine
- Obi-Wan vs. Count Dooku
- Anakin vs. Count Dooku (Attack of the Clones)
- Matt Murdock vs. Elektra (Both of them)


Wow not a new trilogy fan aye?

[wiegeabo]

Getting away from fights, and onto an action scene. In Transporter 2 when Frank flips the car over to knock of the bomb.

Granted the movie isn't as good as the first, but the action (fights and driving) were pretty good. (With the exception of the woman shooting the helicopter and it just explodes in bad animation.)

But the flip was just too over the top. There's no reason they couldn't have used an exciting, less unrealistic, method to get rid of the bomb.

[Catman]

I thought you hated Star Trek! :huh:

I love Daredevil, but I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one.

My brother told me about the infamous barrell roll after seeing it. We both cracked up for like 2 whole minutes.

[Error]

Looking back on it now, the Vader vs. Obi-Wan saber fight in ANH is pretty painful to watch.
HOW DARE YOU, THAT IS A CLASSIC. I WILL SHUN YOU FOR DISMISSING THE FIRST EVER TRUE LIGHTSABER DUEL.

[Kevin Roegele]

I thought you hated Star Trek! :huh:

No, I hate the over-saturation of Star Trek.

And even if I did hate Star Trek (or anything), I'd still praise a a good scene or a good piece of acting or direction when I saw it.

[Cmill216]

The Batman Begins chase sequence. *shudders*

But what takes the cake? The Punisher. Dolph Lundgren. School bus. Classic.

^ whats wrong with the BB tumbler sequence?

I don't think any of the BB scenes are really that bad

Or the scene with the plane, that was also a horrible scene.

[Speedball]

The battle scenes in Eragon are just horrible, they bring the whole film down another notch.

[Cmill216]

^ whats wrong with the BB tumbler sequence?

It was, in my opinion, long, dull, and just not that impressive of a sequence.

[Cinemaman]

Oh c'mon, BB car chase kicked ass, it was one of the best car chase scenes ever :up:

[Speedball]

Oh c'mon, BB car chase kicked ass, it was one of the best car chase scenes ever :up:
The chase in The Bourne Identity was WAY better.

[Cmill216]

Oh c'mon, BB car chase kicked ass, it was one of the best car chase scenes ever :up:

HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL no. :woot:

And it's not much of a chase, seeing as how one-sided it is.

[Cinemaman]

The chase in The Bourne Identity was WAY better.

Nah, I wouldn't say so.

In my opinion, The Bourne Supermacy>>>Batman Begins>>>The Bourne Identity ;)

[Cinemaman]

HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL no. :woot:

And it's not much of a chase, seeing as how one-sided it is.

Well, that's the matter of opinion.

[Speedball]

Nah, I wouldn't say so.

In my opinion, The Bourne Supermacy>>>Batman Begins>>>The Bourne Identity ;)
The end of the Supremacy chase is better than the one in Identity.
My heart always stops when he runs Kirill into the wall.

[Cmill216]

No, I agree with Speedball here. The Bourne chase, as many feel, is the best American car chase since Ronin and is one of the best ever put together.

[Noir]

The remake of Gone in 60 Seconds...?

[Warhammer]

wtf. It says action scenes. Are fights action scenes? I thought action scenes were when some guy was running away from big explosions. All of those suck in movies.

Worst fight, I guess all the ones in x3 count. They were crap.

FF has it share as well.

X3 had bad fight scenes?!
I love seeing Wolverine get his ass handed to him by Juggy. Also, the forest fight scene was cool. X3, as a whole, was terrible, but the fight scenes were a positive.

Fantastic Four's action scenes were not terrible. They were crappy, but not terrible.

Wow not a new trilogy fan aye?

No sir. :)

Transporter 2 also had the god-awful terrible plane scene. It was so bad.
Well, back to the barrel roll scene, it was so random and so terrible. When it happened, my dad and I stopped and looked at each other. He said "What the hell?!". Then he said, "He must be that good." Then the 2 people in front of us turn around and say "Yeah, I know" with confused and sad faces.

As a whole, Transporter 2 has great action scenes. :up:

[Dr. Fate]

I'm not really a fan of the Bond VS. Oddjob fight in "Goldfinger". I don't hate the film as a whole (though you could argue it introduced some tongue & cheek humor into the mix) but the Bond/Oddjob fight always felt too staged to me.

[RagingTempest]

:o Any fight scene in Catwoman!!

[Catman]

I hate the over-saturation of Star Trek.

Oh okay.

[RagingTempest]

:o Most of the action scenes in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle!!!

[LostSon88]

Neo vs. 100 Smiths...It was almost like Neo and the Smith(s) were playing a game of tag... :dry:

I found this fight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3fS2B_2ldk much more engaging as it seemed that Neo was really in danger...this fight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t02zbzSrPPU not so much.

Although the final fight in revolutions was pretty good.

[L0ngsh0t]

No, I agree with Speedball here. The Bourne chase, as many feel, is the best American car chase since Ronin and is one of the best ever put together.

Ronin rules

no reloaded love though? I think that chase is fantastic

[Lighthouse]

The fight scenes in 300. My god they were awful.....


BWaahahhaha!! Just kidding. Seriously, pretty much anything in either Charlies Angel movie, and the Ghost Rider battles were mighty unimpressive.

[A.J.Rimmer(BSC)]

Nah, I wouldn't say so.

In my opinion, The Bourne Supermacy>>>Batman Begins>>>The Bourne Identity ;)


I gotta disagree, I rate Identity much higher than Supremacy and BB above them both.

But I also reckon Identity and Ronin to have the best car sequences ever.

The Matrix's plain sucked. Where was the actual chase?

[Dr. Fate]

The fight between Sean Connery and the late Pat Roach in "Never Say Never Again" is pretty bad.

[Jspider13]

Nothing beats the horse-slide.

It's at the 4:50 mark here:
