Round 1: Match 5



Chun Li vs. Vega
Movie: Street Fighter II

There aren't many good fights in animated movies. There, I said it. I don't know what it is, but the hand to hand combat is either in short bursts too quick to be much of a fight scene in and of its self, the sword fights usually are edited so you can't actually see the fighting, and the gun fights, while usually okay, usually aren't the only thing going on, and there's too much intercutting to get a good feel of the fight. Not a knock on animation, obviously, but it's a fight scene tournament, and there aren't many good animated ones. But this one is a surprisingly good one. The street fighters, usually in more open surroundings, have a fight in decidedly more cramped surroundings. Well animated, good psychology to it with Chun-Li attacking Vega's face, and Guile looks like a useless bufoon.

The Wild Bunch vs. The Mexican Army

This is what got me to like westerns. Pike's "Let's go." and the long walk where you know what's coming and you know how it'll turn out, until Requiem for a Dream, this scene was one of two that made me come closest to crying during a movie. All that emotional build up to a really fucking epic gun battle.
