if you're making a superhero movie
you're probably building up to one thing
an epic fight scene superheroes have
given us some of the most inventive
fights in action movies but none of them
are better than the ones you're about to
see so hey I'm never snick for
screwattack's top 10 superhero movie
fight scenes number 10 here's a tip I've
learned after watching so many of these
superhero movies if you smell a fight
scene about to happen and you see a
train something really good is about to
happen when my boy Wolverine started
poking people with those claws and wound
up on top of a Japanese bullet train
magnifico cuz usually when Wolverine
fights it's just 10 versus a bunch of
non-mutant normies or angrily throwing
himself at just one boo those are still
fun to watch but this train battle is
something else entirely the Train is
more than just a set piece here
Wolverine almost uses it like another
weapon in his arsenal plus the lack of
music really adds a lot to the high
speed intensity truth be told it was a
toss-up between this and the Lady
Deathstrike fight an ex - but ultimately
the train just made for an x-men fight
unlike any other that's a chick gone
getting baited hard he died
number 9 superhero films are white-hot
popular in this day and age but you know
who was at the forefront of this whole
trend freakin Blade not just spinner
man's nut - x-man's I'm talkin Wesley
Snipes
as the half vampire who kills vampires
and of course you've got to kick off a
movie like this with an impressive fight
blade crashes a vampire rave by
murdering everyone with weapons and turn
them into cartoon skeletons but he
doesn't all with so much player and
creativity that the club fight still
holds up to this day kind of makes me
want to pin a do - along fist pumping
celebration
Nate it's coming up on a decade-old as
his top tens being made but I had almost
forgotten about Watchmen is there a top
ten worthy fight in there not so much in
the theatrical version but in that
extended version oh for sure the death
of Hollis Mason the original Nite Owl
tells a whole story about a former hero
who's met his match but goes down
swinging just like in his glory days
it's weird feeling so nostalgic for a
character the movie doesn't really spend
much time with but they somehow did it
with a fight that's barely over a minute
long and there's really nothing else
like it in any movie that calls itself a
superhero film it's a comfortable it's
jarring and most of all it's a nice sad
man number 7 it's pretty hard to ignore
a fight scene from a movie about a bunch
of heroes all fighting each other
Captain America Civil Wars Airport
battle has a lot of creativity going for
it but it's just too low stakes to put
in the top 10 it's pretty hard to be on
the edge of my seat in the fight where
everyone's constantly apologizing I'm
sorry yeah sorry cap just won't kill you
but I ain't gonna tickle either look I
really don't want to hurt you we haven't
met yet
I'm glad we're still friends right no no
no no the real fight is the emotional
climax when Ironman tries to kill Bucky
after learning that Bucky killed his
parents and when cap steps in the punch
is hit so much harder not just because
of how heartbroken Tony is but because
you're watching the saddest movie
breakup since Max and Roxane in an
extremely goofy movie I have you seen
them together recently no you have it
plus the fight taking place on a giant
like concrete soda can and that one shot
everybody thinks up both make the whole
scene Oh real stand number 6
some of the best fights and film are
revenged fights just like that hallway
fight from I'm not saying the title but
it deserves to be here
under estimating this ten-year-old
murderer is the last mistake a lot of
bad guys make in this movie after hit
girl's dad was brutally murdered she was
all fired up and ready to make everyone
pay you know she's pissed you know a lot
of dudes have to die but that doesn't
mean it can't be a ton of fun to watch
hit girls bad reputation let's lose some
of the most impressive fight
choreography on this whole list she
stabs the dudes handle scorpions mortal
combat spear makes him shoot himself in
the face and you know that the editor
was having a blast when he put in one of
the coolest gun reloads ever in a movie
it's one of those fights that's short
but sweet
and since Daredevils Hawaii fight wasn't
from a movie we had to get just one
Hawaii fight scene in number 5 June 2nd
2017 I'm in the theater and I cannot
stop smiling at the sight of one woman
crossing no-man's land like an absolute
balls man that scene this makes me want
to like I don't know go punch a dude in
the neck I'm sorry I get all hyped up
when I watch but when those enemy
soldiers get all exploded the fight
isn't over yet Wonder Woman incapacitate
Stu whole rooms full of armed and angry
Germans in a gorgeously choreographed
slow-mo spectacle and then she flips a
tank with her freakin hands and that's
I'm sorry I've tried my hardest not to
just brainlessly geek out here but bro
that long take of the lasso fight hmm
Sony number 4 there was an idea to bring
together a group of remarkable people to
see if they could become something more
so in Marvel spend years building toward
it they could fight a battle we'd never
seen before there's no mistaking just
how big of an impact the Battle of New
York has had not just on Marvel but on
the film industry itself the finale of
The Avengers was like a real-life
cultural event the
see you as as colossal as it is now
partly because this enormous 30-minute
long war actually worked the team up
moments are made of pure joy and that
one continuous fly through shot is still
one of my favorite moments but the
Battle of New York isn't just a fanboys
dream come true it's legitimately a
well-made fight just meet and built this
battle like it was its own separate
movie with a beginning a middle and the
climax at first the heroes are
overwhelmed for a while but then they
come together and start fighting back
and after they're backed into a corner
then make one final desperation play
that ultimately saves the world is it
the greatest fight ever in a superhero
film not quite but it's definitely one
of the absolute most important number
three everyone knows Batman for having
no superpowers and yet keeping pace with
the big boys anyway he's got a ton of
memorable moments of triumph but one of
his most iconic fights was also one of
his most important losses The Dark
Knight Rises interpretation of the
Batman vs Bane fight is just the way it
should be quiet and brutal this fight is
over before it ever begins even when
Batman lands hits that went down any
normal man it's like watching Bruce's
funeral before he's even been killed
Catwoman and Bane's minions can only
look on in mournful silence as he's
beaten to the brink of death and then
the big moment
how it's uncommon enough for superhero
fights to end with the hero having to
hold an L like this but even among the
ones that do this one is by far the key
this fight is great but can someone
please explain to me how you can rob a
stock exchange or
why those transactions weren't just
nullified or can you at least just give
me a teeny hit tell Batman got back to
Gotham it's been bugging me since 2012
number two I'm gonna be honest my
favorite scene in Captain America the
Winter Soldier is Nick Fury's escape no
doubt maybe that counts as a fight to
you but car chases are easily a whole
genre of action scene on their own one
thing I know we're gonna agree on though
that highway fight is top-10 material it
starts the way I like my fight seems to
start a screaming man getting splattered
against a semi-truck from there it's
Black Widow Falcon and cap all fighting
winter soldiers onslaught with plenty of
clever moments wicked sound design and
some of the very best choreography in
the MCU to date I can't tell you how
many times I've replayed just that knife
part like GCI switches hands all quickly
it's tough oh I love it
it's number one before there was Thanos
before the big team-ups before the
interconnected mega franchise films that
admittedly are fun to watch there was
Sam Raimi's spider-man trilogy look
Spidey homecoming was a really fun
moving all but spider-man 2 and it's
legendary train fight still hold up so
freaking well I mean unless you just
really hate Tobey Maguire's fight
efforts
this is superhero action at it's very
best emotional states a compelling
villain an exciting main set piece an
awe-inspiring score Peters glutes and
choreography that still shows the rest
how it's done all these gears later
the longer it goes on the higher the
states get until it's finally capped off
with the all-time classic train stopping
scene but also the way Spidey and Doc
Ock trade blows and even just move
around makes this fight very uniquely a
superhero one you're not gonna get this
in any other kind of action film an a I
told you at the very beginning
superheroes and trains are a great
combination for our secret number 11 who
else can absorb a book's knowledge at a
touch besides meteor man that's not a
rhetorical question the answer is this
guy
his name's Simon anyway the film's end
is a battle of the books which goes
everywhere from Bruce Lee's martial arts
to a super-powered slugfest to the most
lethal form of fighting there is fashion
runway modeling
