Coolest "epic fight scene" in a movie?

What I mean by "epic fight scene" is a one on one fight scene between the hero and the villain that is usually the cilmax of the movie. It's also probably long.

To me an epic scene is one that comprises more than simply two people, but whatever. The answer to the question you are asking is very simple: the final duel in Rob Roy.

Good point. Perhaps "epic" wasn't the right word as it connotes an epic story/poem, where on envisions armies.

I really wanted to get coolest one on one fight scene, not a battle scene.

I would have said this, except JBB wanted a fight between a hero and a villain (not the case here) at the end of the movie (not the case here).

But it is a kick-ass fight scene.

That was certainly the best END to a fight. I'm not sure it was the best END FIGHT of a movie, if you understand the distinction I'm trying to make.

Good choice, though.

What about the ending scene of Equilibrium? Probably not the best one-on-one fight scene ever, but the entire sequence of fight scenes was incredible. What an outstanding underrated film.

This was an excellent fight scene and well worth renting the movie for, all by itself.

It did feel a little "set up" and unlikely to me, though. But that didn't stop me from suspending disbelief, rooting for the hero, and going along with it happily. I watched the scene again quite a few times after I'd seen the movie.

How bout a fight montage? One that includes music containing the lyrics "You're the best...arouound"
