this is what happens when Marshall law
meets martial arts set in a
post-apocalyptic feudal society ruled by
seven Barons into the badlands features
plenty of political and familial
conflict however since guns have been
banned and diplomacy isn’t usually a
viable option the people of the Badlands
needed to get creative and instead rely
on beautiful and melodic fight scenes
and melee weaponry to resolve their
differences thanks to the talents of
acclaimed action director Stephen Fung
and fight choreographer Koo Hyun Chu as
well as incredible stunt work into the
Badlands is a great place to get your
fix of kung-fu treachery number 9
Battlestar Galactica the only thing more
awesome than epic battle scenes are epic
battle scenes and frakking space
following the adventures of the stalwart
crew of the eponymous space ship
Battlestar Galactica is known for his
well rounded characters and
thought-provoking themes it’s also
regarded as having some of the best
action in a sci-fi television series
with plenty of gun fights and
pulse-pounding space battles they may be
the last surviving humans in existence
but they’re not going to lay down their
number 824 who knew you could cram so
many fights and car chases into such a
short timespan a political thriller with
an emphasis on the thrills 24 follows
super-competent one-man army Jack Bauer
as he takes out scores of terrorists
criminals and double agents in the most
brutal and explosive ways possible
usually single handedly thanks to the
show’s real-time format and love of
cliffhangers the white-knuckle action is
tight suspenseful and occasionally
ridiculous but it’s always fun to watch
Plus is a scientific fact that an action
scene is always 200% better when Kiefer
sex sells and so does violence put heaps
of both into one show and you’ve got the
blood-soaked brilliance of Spartacus
well Spartacus himself may have been a
real historical figure the show plays
very fast and loose with the facts of
his life at the same time though
Spartacus does not shy away from the
uncompromising and brutal violence of
Roman gladiatorial arena x’ instead
reveling in its gory details including
but not limited to decapitations
impalements and the occasional
disembowelment if you thought the movie
300 was too tame
number 6 vikings yet another show that
cements the fact that history is more
action-packed than a summer blockbuster
Vikings chronicles the epic adventures
of the titular Scandinavian warriors and
is more than happy to show the looting
pillaging and brutal fighting the people
are known for the series also goes to
great lengths to show that the Vikings
valued equal-opportunity violence with
several great scenes of women or shield
maidens kicking just as much ass as the
with all the hacking and slashing
happening in this show you’ll feel like
you’ve taken a trip to Valhalla number
five Rome the best way to build an
empire is on the bodies of your enemies
that’s exactly what this historical
drama portrayed during its short two
season run
the Romans were well known for their
enthusiasm for brutal violence and
military strategies both on the
battlefield and within their own arenas
and Rome has no qualms getting up close
and personal and conflicts and
skirmishes of all kinds lavishly filmed
and filled with little historical
details the action scenes in Rome are as
glorious and ambitious as the city it’s
named after number four Buffy the
well Slayer is right there in the title
Joss Whedon’s hugely influential cult
classic is a landmark in TV history not
only for its skillful balancing of
high-school drama and supernatural
adventure but also for its well
choreographed exciting and sometimes
emotionally devastating fight scenes but
theater pals are well-versed in all
kinds of martial arts and magic and
aren’t afraid to show off their skills
not only that but the characters in the
action scenes always had a reason for
duking it out making viewers more
invested in the fights due to the high
stakes involved number three The Walking
Dead there’s more than one way to drop a
walker The Walking Dead loves showing
off the many ways to offer zombie and
isn’t afraid to show off all-out gory
slaughter fests but while these scenes
may be a bloody good time it’s when Rick
Grimes group is forced to defend
themselves against other human beings
that the action scenes really shine
masterfully mixing together pragmatic
tactics brutal violence and terrifying
suspense in two incredibly memorable
action sequences including the battle
for the prison and Rick’s first assault
on a savior compound oh and sometimes
they’ll even throw in a tiger got to do
number two
daredevil justice is blind but it can
still break your arm in three places
starting Charlie Cox is Matt Murdock the
world’s most proactive lawyer daredevil
pulls no punches in this depiction of
punches delivering bone crunching action
almost every episode the choreography
and stunts are on the same level of
big-budget movies making the fight
scenes all the more impressive but the
biggest draw is the use of long takes
during action sequences which allows
viewers to truly appreciate just how
much work goes into staging an
impressive fight we tell you more but in
this case action speaks louder than
words for we unveil our topic here are a
number one Game of Thrones you won’t
want your watch to end after getting
absorbed into this fantasy series
Bouldin almost every sense of the word
Game of Thrones depicts the sexy brutal
and detailed world with its own rich
history and just like in the real world
that history is filled with epic on
inspiring battles every season has at
least one incredible battle sequence and
the creator’s outdo themselves every
year constantly one upping themselves
with bigger and bigger fights with one
of the most memorable being the
absolutely jaw-dropping Battle of the
bastards
the smaller skirmishes and one-on-one
fights are also spectacular especially
when any one of these characters can die
