This Resident Evil: Afterlife fight with the axeman which I probably shouldn't like that much because it's soooo over the top but eh
This Korra battle (I believe it was somewhere in the season 3 final)
Another LotS one. All in all the show wasn't that great but I love the action scenes. They get complemented very well with the colours and clothes too imo.

And then of course the awesome Galadriel scene from the last Hobbit o.o (which I am unable to find a vid for, for now. Might add later)
Because science.
Sword of the Stranger.
This movie has alot of really good action.
But the final fight has pretty much every correct note for a badass finale.
There's a couple more I could post. But this fight always comes to mind when I think of good action.
Because GLOBAL WARMING!
FTFY
FTFY
F*ck, how could I forget? :'D
Brb, on my way to get me some revolutionary green tech.
Lisa ann and Tommy Gunn.

I agree.
Mostly because I fking love Azula, but still.
This fight currently edges out Jackie's duel with Bradley Allen as my favorite Chan fight. Iirc this footage wasn't altered as this was Jackie's and Benny's actual speed.
Aside from the fluid animation Mark Hamill going full on ham made this fight my favorite animated action scene.
An oldie but it stills looks good.
A lot of this sequence was filmed illegally, with the filmmakers not having obtained permits to film in a lot of the locations they filmed. As a result, the stunt driver had to avoid real civilian vehicles and pedestrians (they had to foot the bill for one citizen's car which was damaged during the chase). Director William Friedkin operated the camera that was in the car itself, on the grounds that unlike the other camera operators, he didn't have a wife or kid.
Couldn't find a better quality version of the full scene than this; sorry! Still a classic though. And lastly, there's this famous shootout from The Wild Bunch:

Why the hell did I decide to look this up?
The Siege of Minas Tirith/Battle of Pelennor fields in RotK. Right up until the god-mode ghost army shows up.
Also,
Sure, there are a lot of pointless twirls and movements. Anakin is also an annoying git. Still, I thought there was a lot of emotion in this scene, something antithetical and unique to what I felt with previous fights in the trilogy. It was a good foil to Luke's fights.

The twirls I can handle.
I lose all enthusiasm when they're climbing on the thing, then swinging around on wires from said thing.
It's a little too swashbuckly for the tone they were going for.
Should've been cut out, and they just transitioned to the platforms they were on after.
Also (This is a just how I would've done the scene. You are allowed to disagree)
I would've taken out Obi-Wan yelling at the limbless Anakin. It's far too bitter and a little OOC for Obi-Wan to do.
Just have Anakin yelling "I hate you!" at Obi-Wan, Obi picks up the lightsaber, says the line and leaves.

I'm going to reach a bit to defend the scene. The rope swinging was weird so I'll give you that. The fact that they were on a swashbuckling escapade through a sea of lava was a little silly but it was also there to show how they were both deeply invested in each other and how the outside world didn't matter. Two former friends, even surrogate brothers, are forced to fight each other with emotions clouding their basic judgement.
I also thought Obi-wan yelling was necessary to show how deeply affected he was by the circumstances, for him to go from wise mentor to a broken man who had given up hope.
The worst part about the scene was Obi-wan leaving Anakin to burn to death. No mercy-killing and all. I mean, I know without Anakin there would be no Darth Vader but come on.

I just think there's better ways to go about both of those things though.
Yeah that is a bit Cruel. Even young little Clone seeing this movie...almost 10 years ago (Holy crap it has been that long...) thought that.

Perhaps.
Not gonna lie, Anakin burning gave my ten-year-younger self nightmares.
