Mindblowing duels

We think you know the drill by now. We write lists and then post them here. We decided to continue our "action" themed lists, so this one is with the best one-on-ones in film. Like always, it's all opinion-based.


1. Robin Hood vs. Sir Guy of Gisbourne in The Adventures of Robin Hood. The most classic of duels. It has influenced pretty much every swordfight in film history.

1. Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back.  This one's maybe not as "cool" as the previous fight, but the emotional charge in this whole scene more than makes up for it.

3. Beast vs. Gaston in Beauty and the Beast. Probably the best part in the movie. Also, the music is awesome.

4. Vash vs. Monev the Gale in Trigun. This is the point where the show started to get really good. It made it more than anime. (Couldn't find a picture of the fight, so we had to compromise and just put individual photos).

5. Kenshin vs. Saito in Kenshin.  Now this would be #1 if it wasn't for those annoying and interrupting minor characters. The coolest swordfight ever.

6. Ripley vs. The Alien queen in Aliens. When watching this particular scene, you just wanna scream "kill that bug!" It's pure adrenaline.

7. Indiana Jones vs. The German nazi in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Thoroughly entertaining fistfight. You laugh & you gasp as you cheer for Indy.

8. Blade vs. Frost in Blade. Most likely this will remain our only entry with vampires. The last duel is pretty cool, not gonna lie.

9. Batman vs. Catwoman in Batman Returns. Here it's not so much that the fighting is impressive but more that you just enjoy watching their personalities clash. Plus you want both characters to win, which makes this refreshingly different.

10. Po vs. Tai Lung in Kung Fu Panda. The best parody duel ever. You'll cry from laughing so much.
