Drunken Master II Final Fight

Drunken Master II was a 1994 Hong Kong film that was released in the US in 2000 under the name The Legend of Drunken Master (and that's when you say, "Oh yeah, I've seen that!"). The action/comedy starred Jackie Chan was critically acclaimed and made a ton of money for its time and genre. 

The clip above is the over-the-top final fight scene. Is it fighting, or dancing, or a Buster Keaton comedy scene? Maybe it's more like Popeye, with alcohol standing in for spinach. Chan choreographed and directed this particular scene. He said that it took four months to film the fight, and a day's work might result in three seconds of finished film. There was no CGI, so yeah, he really did that stuff with the hot coals- more than once! Roger Ebert said, "It may not be possible to film a better fight scene." (via Metafilter)
