fight scenes

Action movie highlights

Fight scenes are choreographed sequences of physical combat in films, television, theater, or written fiction.

The term treats fighting as a distinct narrative unit requiring special craft—blocking punches, timing exchanges, building tension.

The movie's fight scenes were clearly the director's priority.

Good fight scenes advance plot or character rather than simply displaying violence.
