Pretty much every fight scene with Gordon Liu in ever. He's criminally overlooked as a martial artist and for my money was much better than Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan ever were. All the old Shaw Brothers films he was in have some decent fight scenes but I guess Shaolin vs Wu-Tang is the best (As well as providing every single sample used in the album Enter the Wu-Tang). In this scene, Gordon's proving he's good enough to face the Wu-Tang clan:
Here he is more recently at the end of Tiger on the Beat, having a fight with chainsaws, it's awesome:
The film also features Chow Yun Fat killing people round a corner using a shotgun on a piece of string which is pretty mental.
Another badly overlooked film is The Barefoot Kid (Called Barefooted Kid in the US I think) which is pretty much one, long awesome fight scene. It's got Ti Lung and Aaron Kwok in who are both exceptional martial artists and the final scene in particular is ridiculous. I can't find any long fight scene clips but here's a montage:
If you're talking gun fights, Hong Kong cinema generally pisses on western films there too. Pretty much everyone will have seen Hard Boiled and The Killer but not too many people have seen Better Tomorrow 2, the last scene of which is one of my all time favourite gun fights:
Hollywood does occasionally chuck out a decent gunfight though and few can match the end of Commando when Arnie goes on a murder rampage:
Other great fight scenes are pretyy much all of Ong Bak, Warrior King and Blood & Bone and if you liked Crouching Tiger, House of Flying Daggers and Hero are both much better.
