Undefeated: The 10 greatest fist fight scenes in cinema history

This Friday, Hollywood will be giving us the answer to the question every American’s had on their mind since 2004: Who would win in a fight between Charlie Day or Ice Cube? We tried to find a betting line for the big scuffle in Fist Fight, but it looks like Vegas isn’t putting their money on this one. Mickey, our local bookie, said "42-1 Cube" and he’d eat his shoe if we won.

To make Fist Fight a lot to live up to, we decided to make a list of the greatest fight scenes in film history, obeying only one rule -- no lead actor would be represented twice. Read through our list of film fisticuffs below, but be warned: Some spoilers may follow.

Out for Justice

This is the best moment of Steven Seagal’s career. He’s never been tougher or more badass than in this particular Out For Justice scene, where he storms a deadbeat bar looking for information about a guy named Richie and gets into a little bit of trouble. Seagal wanders around the bar insulting and threatening people, and then gets challenged by a dude who thinks he’s only brave when he’s got a badge and a gun in his hand. Wrong hypothesis, dude. Seagal kicks ass with a pool ball (causing one of the goons to cough a handful of teeth onto the fucking pool table) and then fights a dude named “Sticks” with a goddamn cue. It’s not the longest or most elegant fight on this list, but it is an incredibly funny slice of ’90s action.
