At this rate, the title of this thread should be changed to "List Cinematic Superhero Fights".  Most of this thread seems to be just throwing stuff against the wall.  lol

My personal favorites aside, I think a contender for greatest cinematic superhero fight is from X2 where Wolverine goes beserker rage on Stryker's men in the X-mansion. Hugh Jackman's Wolverine finally reminded me of the guy from the comics and there was the added tension of the students in danger and Logan's mysterious origins at hand. For me, this scene defined the cinematic Wolverine who was arguably one of the best cast movie superheroes ever.

This is what I came here to read!  :headbang:  Give us a solid scene and give a reason it's one of your favorites.  That was a great scene.  Up until that point, we never saw Wolverine really let loose on anyone.  In this scene, he goes crazy on a bunch of armed/armored goons and all in the name of protecting the kids. 

For me, this scene gets bonus points for being the first and still most comic-accurate portrayal of Colossus we've seen on screen.  Later appearances in this series went to a weird shiny bodysuit look.  The Deadpool version looks more technologically refined for sure, but the X2 version had the luster along with the darker flat-top and the some semblance of the horizontal lines we often see in the comics.

Not really. These are scenes people have strong attachments to because they were so impactful.

Heck, some get fired up over the 1990 Shredder battle.

You know the way to my heart.  :x

This scene is 30 years old this year.  It's still amazing the level of realism they were able to achieve on the Turtle suits.  To achieve what they did using 100% practical effects is mind-blowing to me. 

Still the best TMNT movie to date by a long shot.  The whole thing is great.  The fight scene is just the cherry on top.
