ZMG's Top 100 Fight Scenes

This is just a little project I've been working on for a while now. When I go online to the IMDB, I am always reading posts made by people who place their 100 top films of all time and after a while they get a little boring.

I had considered it. The dialogue was decent if only a couple lines but the fight itself was little more than a quick blow to the yarbles, some long shot fighting and a very cheesy fall off the side of a cliff.
