no sir negative the next best thing to
burning your bridges is fighting on them
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
movie fights on bridges
[Music]
whether it’s a rope bridge in the jungle
or a suspension bridge in the city these
scenes make movie combat seem as
dangerous and visceral for the
performers as it looks to us popcorn
munchers watching it unfold things get
complicated when the ground level is
high or uneven enough to threaten a hero
more than his enemy number 10 Sherlock
Holmes vs. Lord Henry Blackwood Sherlock
Holmes
when the Super Sleuth and his enemy have
their final confrontation on the still
under construction tower bridge they
clash for control of a devastating
weapon
Sherlock battles the blade with nothing
but a sheath while using his
surroundings to his advantage
ultimately ropes ensnare with pacing
that’s just relentless along with angles
and shots that put you right up there
with them the stunts are edited in
pretty seamlessly and the 19th century
architecture is striking too
number nine Kareem versus an invisible
foe the Thief of Bagdad who is coming
here to Baghdad to ask for the hand in
marriage of our princess Amina we order
than our illustrious guests receive the
tribute he deserves from all the people
Steve Reeves plays a thief who steals
gold from the rich and then delivers it
to the poor and his acts spark a series
of fantastic adventures the challenge
his heroics that’s what I’m trying to do
one such adventure includes wrestling
rolling and trading jokes with a
character that starts off armed with an
invisibility cloak
[Music]
notable as an actor and as a bodybuilder
during the 50s and 60s Reeves shows us
what he’s made of
as they battle on a flimsy swinging rope
bridge
[Music]
number eight Chan Chi Leung dragon Chan
versus low Chi y sunny special ID Donnie
yen’s dragon Chan fights to protect his
undercover cop identity not to mention
his life in this brawl on an unfinished
freeway he does whatever it takes to
bring down the dangerous crime syndicate
member even if it means using a car as a
weapon instead of leaving it as the
background prop we expected to serve as
the result is a martial-arts filled
rumble that keeps us on the edge of our
car seats
number seven Robin Hood versus Little
John Robin Hood men in tights
I say would you mind um hopefully
getting out of the way I say not until
you pile it on let’s be honest the fight
itself is about as necessary at this
tiny bridges but that’s the joke and
it’s as phenomenal as the witty banter
that precedes it
toe toe you paid for crossing me bridge
not paying any toll little John defends
the toll policies while Robin Hood
defends his principles and between the
hilarious dialogue the slapstick of the
whittling staffs and a pre famed Dave
Chappelle it’s everything we need and
then some I’ll take your word for it
now let me pass hey blink
did you say Abe Lincoln no I say Abe
Lincoln I said hey blinken hold the
reins me number six
sheriff ray Owens versus Gabriel Cortez
the last stand done my car you’ve dumped
my day off sheriff ray Owens proves he
ain’t a pushover in this scene from the
action flick The Last Stand all you have
to do is just let me walk across that
border after refusing drug lord Cortez’s
bribe the to duke it out atop this
bridge
pretty sure getting body-slammed three
times by an aging Arnie wasn’t on this
guy’s agenda gay wrong and that bridge
beam is gonna leave a bump there are
clear perspectives because the camera
work shows us everything we need to see
through close-up and wide shots it looks
natural and very painful
ouch
number five the nameless month versus
master monk bulletproof monk
this highly stylized action sequence
that kicks off the story of bulletproof
monk includes feats of agility between
breathtaking and threatening landscapes
along with impressive wirework stunts
and that’s just a training day the pupil
monk reveals after defeating and
thanking his master Robert a yes it’s
over-the-top but this is fantasy family
entertainment and the movie makes no
apologies for it from this opening scene
onward number four Tai Lung versus the
Furious Five Kung Fu Panda fearing no
threats but the challenge of the
legendary Dragon Warrior vengeful Snow
Leopard Tai Lung takes on the Furious
Five in search of the Dragon scroll for
unlimited power how do you know you’re
not looking at besides the kung fu
action extravaganza the bridge itself is
used as a whip a choke a tying tool a
bungee and a swing
these animals even fight upside down and
continue long after the wooden planks
are destroyed leaving us with a twist
ending that’s a creative feat for any
hand to hand combat scene number three
James Bond versus max Zorin a view to a
kill go get him go in the lead up to
this foot James Bond tales a criminal
mastermind behind a plot to destroy
Silicon Valley by dangling his way from
max horns airship mooring rope
[Music]
he eventually ties it to the Golden Gate
Bridge in order to catch and fight the

death

Lord of the Rings the Fellowship of the
Ring

Misty Mountains the fellowship of

monster a chance to cross
but there’s a catch
only later throughout the franchise do
we learn how we fought and survived as
Gandalf the White
[Music]
to fire and water but the visual effects
and the precariousness of this fragile

memories refuge before we cross over

Duke because if you don’t
[Music]
number one
Indiana Jones versus molar rom Indiana

corner Jones and his companions at a
rope bridge the music cinematography
suspense and tone speak volumes

Indies choice to cut the bridge down
it’s all about the conflict risk fear
and sacrifice here
the scene takes its time threatening and
confining us to hang on with Jones and
