The Best Movie Fight Scene?

History of Violence and Eastern Promises have some of the most realistic fight scenes of recent. Although the bath scene isn't exactly my favorite you have to admit that it's raw and gritty. It's not like other movies that after you get stabbed you fight for 30 more minutes and walk away like everything is ok.

I liked the fight scene in EASTERN PROMISES because it also gives a nod to classic film noir like ASPHALT JUNGLE.
However, the final fight scene in HISTORY OF VIOLENCE was unrealistic, that neck break took it out of the gritty realism they established in the lawn sequence earlier.
As for fights lasting 30 minutes... I don't remember any films like that but trained fighters would try to evade killshots even though they may get seriously injured. Look at this REAL NSFW vid:

Untrained victim lasts for a few minutes because her vital targets were not directly hit right away by her untrained attacker. She's not even evading or defending herself. Imagine how long she would last if she were trained, and had been conditioned to move beyond the average pain tolerance?
If people saw this in a film theater they would say it was fiction. Btw, look at the good samaritans... sad.

The Bourne movies are great. I have declared Jason Bourne to be the baddest man on the planet.
"Eastern Promises" was an outstanding movie on so many levels. Note, a gangster movie in which not a gun shot is fired. The fight scene in the steam room was very gritty, very real to its feel.
But I can't believe no one mentioned Jake Mazursky. One of the lead characters in the movie Alpha Dog. This movie was based on a true story by the way.
Jake Mazursky is no Rambo or ultra-tough guy in the movie that can use his martial arts to solve everyone of his problems (e.g. he gets pushed out of his bosses office by his non-tough guy boss; he works a dead end job etc.). But on at least two occasions in the movie he draws upon his HTH combat skills and his California, upper-middle-class, suburban, neo-Nazi, fearless mindset.

Here is the real cat that was wanted and fled the country on 'Jake Mazursky's' little brothers murder.
