these fights are so good their intensity
is through the roof welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 movie
fights on rooftops for this list we’ve
included fights and action sequences
that happened on rooftops as opposed to
simply verbal arguments or
confrontations in movies that just
happen to be on top of buildings houses
or other structures there may be some
spoilers ahead so spoiler alert
number ten spider-man versus the lizard
the amazing spider-man no mother no
father no uncle Oh
in this reboot of the classic superhero
series Spidey is seen clashing with dr.
Connors as the lizard in the movie’s
climactic scene the to go to war on each
other on several occasions throughout
the film but never quite like this
after the lizard tries to make everyone
become lizard like they battle on the
roof of Oscorp tower ending with Spidey
unleashing an antidote that makes dr.
Connors plan backfire on him
Veck impression for you Oh bang come
dead
number nine Eric Draven versus top
dollar
The Crow let her go
you can have me I won’t fight you
during the final fight scene of this
film these two get into a sword fight on
top of a church while rain absolutely
pours down on them top dollar has the
advantage at first as he stabs Eric with
his sword but things take an interesting
twist I’m sorry if I spoiled your
wedding plans here friend once the gang
boss admits to being responsible for the
death of Eric’s fiance Eric uses his
telepathic powers to get his ultimate
revenge I have something to give you her
I don’t want it anymore
thirty hours of pain
[Music]
number eight iron man versus iron longer
iron man I never had a taste for this
sort of thing well I must admit I’m
deeply enjoying the food while this film
has i popping action and special effects
all over the place this fight between
Tony Stark and Obadiah Stane is arguably
one of its high points these two go at
it for several minutes including
fighting each other with cars with
families inside them but things start to
look bleak for Iron Man as he doesn’t
have his new reactor yet this isn’t
working we’re gonna have to overload the
reactor and blast through however once
they get on top of the Stark Industries
building it’s a completely different
story
number seven Jack Slater versus the
Ripper Last Action Hero it’s now between
you and me let the boy go and we played
this number beforehand we check although
this particular rooftop battle is
definitely meant more as satire than
anything else it’s still pretty
entertaining Arnold Schwarzenegger plays
a fictional action hero in a series of
Jack Slater action movies from within
the film’s universe on a rooftop
Jack encounters the Ripper a villain who
killed Slater’s son
hey Jack look at you
the scene starts to take on eerie
similarities with the Slater films once
the Ripper throws Danny Madigan off the
roof board while we just skip to the end
fortunately the Ripper gets exactly
what’s coming to him courtesy of The
Last Action Hero
[Music]
number six obi-wan Kenobi vs. Jango Fett
Star Wars Episode two Attack of the
Clones okay so it’s technically a high
up landing platform but when these two
meet on the planet of Kamino obi-wan
takes the opportunity to confront Jango
before he can bail
[Music]
this faceoff has everything from a laser
gun to a lightsaber to a missile
launcher and even a jetpack
of course it ends up in old-fashioned
fisticuffs in the pouring rain
[Music]
the intense fight between the Jedi
Knight and the Bounty Hunter even leads
to the duo falling off the side and
being suspended in midair
[Music]
[Music]
number five Jackie Chan versus hitmen
Who am I
how long thirty seconds in this classic
Hong Kong action flick we see Jackie get
involved in an all-out martial-arts
battle in the movies climactic scene
as his character is confronted by two
hitmen over a disc with information
about a compound being sold to an arms
dealer one of them gives Jackie a
virtual staring contest before they go
to war on each other
[Music]
Oh
the result a rooftop battle that’s one
of Chan’s all-time greatest fight scenes
[Music]
number four the turtles versus shredder
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles now you
face the shredder the shredder
going all the way back to the first ever
movie in this franchise we see shredder
kidnapping splinter which brings us to a
battle between him and the four turtles
on a New York rooftop this guy’s good
following an individual and combined
confrontation against the Turtles the
armored shredder proves unbeatable and
the villain even begins to gloat while
he prepares to kill Leonardo the three
of you might have overpowered me with
the loss of but one fortunately for the
turtles they’re freed sensei arrives
just in time to flip sweaters hatred and
rage towards him
number three Batman and Catwoman versus
thugs The Dark Knight Rises and not
bluffing
they know they just don’t care
as opposed to when Batman and Catwoman
fought against each other 20 years
earlier in Batman Returns The Dark
Knight Rises sees the two team up in a
rooftop battle this time around
yep kidding me no guns no killing
where’s the fun in that
when Christian Bale’s Batman and Anne
Hathaway’s Catwoman find each other high
up in the Gotham skyline they join
forces to fight off a group of Bane’s
thugs
see
mother warned me about getting into cars
with strange men after they’re done you
could say things get a little bit
flirtatious
I definitely I’ll get the better hey
what a girl’s desperate
that is until Catwoman disappears into
thin air
so this was that feels like number two
Kong versus Navy planes King Kong
this remake of the classic 30s movie
takes a scene from the original film and
updates it to be even more intense and
full of high production value as an dare
awaits on top of the Empire State
Building Conn fights off a horde of Navy
planes
[Music]
unfortunately Khan gets gunned down off
the top of the building but the special
effects make this as memorable as
rooftop bites come what does it matter
airplanes got him
it wasn’t the airplanes it was Beauty
killed the Beast before we unveil our
top pick here are a few honorable
mentions
[Music]
you better get it up I’m gonna have to
kick out unless you’re alive
you can’t play and if you don’t play
[Music]
yeah
number one neo and Trinity versus agents
the matrix find them and destroy them
not only is this particular part of
their daring rescue of leader Morpheus
full of Rapid Action and intensity it’s
just plain badass
there’s plenty of gun fighting and
shooting on the rooftop but there’s also
a breathtaking bullet time scene which
reveals to all that neo is in fact the
one simply put neo and Trinities victory
against the agents is another incredible
example of how the matrix is slow-motion
action and unique special effects work
no matter where the fights are located
