I'm suprised no one's mentioned any duel from any Star Wars movie ending.

Well, I thought about this, but the fighting in all three original movies is pretty cheesy by today's standards. The fight between Darth Maul and the two Jedis in Episode 1 was pretty good though, as was the duel between Dooku and Yoda in Ep. 2.

The final fight scene of Seven Samurai.

There is simply nothing that compares.

Yes I'm here sorry I took so long

Revenge of the Sith - Anakin v Obi Wan
Return of the Jedi - Luke v Darth

But the best light saber fight is in Phantom Menance
Obi Wan + Qui Gon v Darth Maul

Or, for that matter, the final scene of Yojimbo.

jet li vs the spear dude in Hero was pretty cool

That was a good scene. I don't know what the hell was wrong with that guy's voice, but he made a great villain.

No one's mentioned Zhang Ziyi vs. Michelle Yeoh in Crouching Tiger? Man that was a great scene.

Very cool scene, lots of fun.

Every Which Way But Loose. No, wait, it was Any Which Way Can, the highly anticipated sequel that had the climactic 1/2 hour bout at the end.

Extra marks for having an orangutan and the worst biker gang ever.

Those flicks are a a guilty pleasure with me. They were a lot of fun. And good ole Clint was a tough mother there.

The fight scenes in the Bronson flick "Hard Times" were also very fun.

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.

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.

Beat me by a couple of posts. But for "epic" can anything really top Enter the Dragon?
