I treasure a scene so terrible.
Baby's first string-suspended fight scene.

Criticise the handling of Halo 5's 'is Chief bad?' Storyline, but that scene was pretty cool.
Rich Evans' laughter sounds like the whimpering noises the Green Goblin makes when he's pretending to be an old woman in that burning building in the first Raimi Spider-Man movie.
This is the hardest my entire family has ever laughed, like ever. Just howling.
Probably the Titan fight in Infinity War. Thanos literally crushes a moon and drags it to the planet but all it does is cause what appears to be minor explosions?
My vote goes to pretty much all of those movie action scenes that are nothing but fast cuts and a shaky camera. They are all terrible and make my head hurt.
Taken 2 and Taken 3 are nothing short of unwatchable. No sense of scene geography, editing flow or coherency, just pure, unadulterated nonsense.
The Dark Knight Rises. Manz on the left just slipped on a banana skin innit.
I still can't believe nolan saw that on a playback and was like 'moving on!'
I could lol, I thought the fights in MoS were terrible.
Also, RLM isn't even reacting to the Resident Evil flick with the worst fights in that video. That would be Final Chapter:
Nvm, here it is:
Both are just obscenely incompetent filmmaking. Like, they look like someone taking the piss out of the Taken 3 fence jump, but no, that's how they're actually edited.

Resident Evil movies are honestly on a tier of their own with horrific fight scenes.
There was even a thread on this:

Unfortunately, Motherland felt inspired by this and did this:
Don't forget the superior version.

Those stupendous fast cuts in Resident Evil Final Chapter
Recently caught this on TV and it's just insanity Step aside Taken, this is the king.

This is what you want, I think.
But this also covers it in ways, both bring up some different things that are important.
When I clicked on this thread, I expected this fight to be in the OP.
My head hurts watching these. What the fuck.
The weird thing is that cutting stuff together is a lot of work. Making clips that are made up of like a hundred cuts a second must've taken a shitton of work. Whoever was designing these clips must think it looks cool or something, because no one would do this by accident.
It's so, so misguided, because it's fucking garbage to watch.
Nah this was cool as fuck.
Edit: no it wasn't lol. I thought this was the Leon + Chris fight lmaooo

Came here looking for these.
It is literally without hyperbole hurting my fucking eyes.
This anime is a guilty pleasure of mine but boy they really butchered this season.
I can't find a video, but Xena's fight against the fake three kings was another rapid edit-fest. To go from One Against An Army to that. I wept.
I agree that the fight itself was sloppy in a lot of ways, but for some reason it felt amazing seeing those two work together. It's explained better here:

ha! I'd never seen that before. Wish marge had whiffed on one of the punches tho
This fight is legit awesome. It's silly and ridiculous and the fake slow-mo punches are hilarious so it's a super fun time but the choreography, camerawork, editing and energy from the actors are all fundamentally sound. Ripped Ray Romano v ripped Jerry Seinfeld is just a contagiously good time. The music is incredible!
I thought I was the only one thinking the fight was actually quite decent. The hits seem to visibly connect and the moves are well performed and have good energy, which probably puts it above a lot of fight scenes (like Batman gifs).
Resident Evil: "Ammo is super important"
Also Resident Evil:
Motherfucker I woke the whole house with my laughter!!!
😹
I'd pay top dollar to see that, hell I would even go to a cinema in my COVID riddled country! Lol
i will never, ever, understand how this scene was approved, be it from the crew, test screenings or something. This is probably the worst scene ever made, from direction, editing, vfx, acting... it's so cringe, poorly made, ridiculous... i just can't.
I was wondering if this one would show up. It's like the Taken 3 fence jump, but for like four minutes. It hurts my eyes every time I try to watch it. What a train wreck of a movie.
Over the years, it's less the bad CG (but it IS bad) and more that it plays a BOWLING PINS FALLING SFX...

This really should have been the first reply. This scene is infamous and always shows up in these types of threads.
In case anyone doesn't know, Zinda is an unauthorized Indian rip-off of the Korean movie Old Boy. The filmmaker tried to copy the iconic one-shot hallway fight beat by beat, but its just hilariously awful. The actor was overcome with exhaustion and at one point, the hammer goes flying out of his hand in a way that I don't think was supposed to make it into the movie, but I believe that they just left it in there because this was the best take they had. Some of the punches that send people flying obviously whiff and hit air and one of the sticks even got damaged in a way that revealed them to be obviously made of some kind of soft rubber.

It's the damn shot of their legs dangling in front of Sam that kills me.
This scene still kills me every time ive seen it posted. Just the absolute stupidest shit lol
I saw the movie way before I saw the show and it was still awful in all the wrong ways where you could just tell how much of a bastardization.
That said, did they intent on having it be in slowmo?
I remember the "Gun Kata" bullshit the people involved in this and other stuff were trying to sell.
It's already mentioned, but here's the video.
It's clearly, currently (?), Nolan is not a close quarters/hand-to-hand combat action film director as these scenes were unenjoyable for me to watch as it's confusing the first time I saw it...
The whole film still enjoyable, but except for the scenes above.
Bale learning Keysi fighting style for this film was visually wasted.
Dark Knight & Rises were a bit better, but that's not saying much... 🙄

I like Begins but the camera work in the fight scenes is awful.
Thanks for reminding me that outside of outliers like The Matrix and anything Jackie Chan starred in, Hollywood action movies had garbage fight scenes until The Bourne Identity.
