The fight Lee vs Norris in Way of the Dragon is indeed one of the very best.
But what about armed fighting?
Here’s my top 5, in no particular order:
“Tiger & Dragon”: fight between the two ladies in the armory.
Cool idea, great choreography.
“Assassins”(the chinese one): fight between the two protagonists at the abandoned hut.
Not too fancy and unrealistic, like many other chinese flics.
“Troy”: fight between Achilles and Hector, as well as Achilles storming the beach with his Myrmidons.
You may think the movie is too much of a chick flic, but it shows quiet clear that good actors can produce better fight scenes than “real” martial artists if the script is good.
pretty much anything Andy Lau does with a sword. It’s a shame the guy doesn’t do MA movies anymore but sings stupid tearjerkers.
the showdown in “Blade III” between the hero and Drake.
Technique vs Strength. Neat.

I became a Brad Pitt fan after Troy. He pretty much kicked the hell out of everyone.
haha i just watched it… i think the funniest thing was when the chick did the backflip on one hand while her other arm was in a sling. hilarious. or maybe when she was twirling the towel like nunchakus… yes, that is how you spell it !
You seen Tom Yum Goong?.. man the scene where he takes on like a 100 men is incredible… especially the final fight with that massive australian bloke from troy.
