The 50 Most Stylish Fight Scenes Of All Time

To be a sartorialist or a pugilist? In Hollywood, there’s no reason to pick one or the other. Flash back to some of cinema’s most celebrated brawls, scuffles and slapfests and it’s easy to see that costume designers get off on dressing combatants in eye-catching duds. A first-rate action star who knows all about refined fashion is Jason Statham, the English lump-dispenser best known for his tough-guy roles in The Transporter and Crank films. His style game in each flick varies from pressed suits to long-sleeve zip-ups, but the common denominator amongst his characters is an impeccable tailor-fit. Statham’s latest thrill ride is The Mechanic, which opens this weekend, in which he plays a veteran hit-man whose closet game is as sick as his scrapping expertise. With The Mechanic’s sharp-dressed urban warriors in mind, we’ve sparred with film history to bring you the 50 Most Stylish Fight Scenes of All Time.

Ug, why can't you just put these on 1 or a few pages. I'm not clicking 50 times to read 1 paragraph each time.

Jesus Christ. I wish someone would realize just how much of a joke these lists are. Inception at #1? Are you kidding me? Much like the debacle of Paranormal Activity being your #1 scariest film of all time, this further proves that whoever is making these lists not only has their head screwed on backwards but can't see beyond the last damn film they've seen. Marc Ecko should stop paying the list makers and just use the money he saves on toilet paper, pens, styrofoam or any item that is far more useful than the hacks that create these lists. And damn the guy at GorrillaMask.net for sending me back to this site in the first place! Please stop. Please. Good taste and common sense implore you.

You are aware that any list like this one is subjective, right? Picking the top anything is simply the list writer's opinion, and this will most likely never match up with yours. So, rather then bitching about the fact that this doesn't match up with your list, why not just go make your own? Or don't. No one here really cares so long as you stop posting useless, arrogant comments.

Articles like this are a waste of time. They pay link publishing sites like Gorillamask to push their site. Then they milk ad revenue because they make retarded, easy to write lists and put a limited number of results per page in order to force visitors view multiple pages, loading the adds from each one separately. Lists are the cop-out articles of the 2000s. Two thumbs down. Learn to write real, and interesting, articles.

Hey haters! Eat a dick. Of course it's missing some key fights. How many bad ass fight scenes are out there anyway? Too many to count. It's all up to the author to decide what's hot and worthy of his 'best of' list. This list is still very entertaining. How about you guys put together your own list and see how many trolls you rack up. On second thought, scratch that. Put up your own list and see who actually gives a shit in the first place.
