When film characters engage in a knock-down, drag-out fight, the audience usually assumes that the actors are faking the physical blows. Who would be wild&nbsp;enough to throw real punches in movies?&nbsp;

Unfortunately, some actors prefer authenticity to sanity. Instead of faking a blow for the camera, certain stars decide to really take a hit and lend some blood-soaked legitimacy to their acting. For example, Sylvester Stallone was known for taking real hits during his fight scenes in the&nbsp;Rocky&nbsp;film series. His tactic led to some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-movie-punches/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">best movie punches in film history</a>, but it also resulted in some serious injuries&nbsp;for Stallone.&nbsp;

Other actors, however, aren&#39;t as committed to their craft. Instead, they&#39;re caught in the crosshairs of a high energy moment. While <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-tournament-fight-scenes-in-movies/ranker-film" target="_blank">filming a fight scene</a>, their co-star might slip up and land a real punch now and then. They certainly didn&#39;t sign up for the physical pain, but they refuse to break character and ruin an entire scene for a simple bump on the head.&nbsp;

Whether on purpose or by accident, take a look below at the movie fight scenes where characters threw real punches and decide for yourself if the pain was worth the finished product.

Action

When <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-anticlimactic-movie-final-fight/jessica-bedewi" target="_blank">facing off against a dangerous villain</a>, you&#39;d think movie characters would want to finish the brawl as quickly as possible and claim victory. Oddly enough, many movie characters adhere to some idea of a fair fight, where they can only challenge their opponent if the two fighters are somewhat evenly matched.&nbsp;

How do they accomplish a fair fight? Well, it depends on the situation. Sometimes the characters throw aside their weapons and rely on their hand-to-hand combat skills. Other times, characters might focus on the timing of the fight&nbsp;in order to ensure their opponent has a fair chance. In a famous&nbsp;Princess Bride&nbsp;fight scene, Inigo Montoya saves his opponent from a perilous&nbsp;fall and then gives him plenty of time to rest, simply to ensure the two can engage in a satisfying sword fight. Unfortunately for Inigo, that decision is his undoing.

Characters who want&nbsp;to fight fair may be noble, but they&#39;re not exactly&nbsp;the sharpest tools in the box. A fair fight is all well and good, but it often results in a more dangerous brawl than simply maintaining&nbsp;your advantages and ending things quickly. Take a look below at movie fights that lasted way longer than they should have, simply because the characters decided to fight fair.

The final fight scene in movies is often the most anticipated part of the film. After watching hours of building tension, viewers assume the culminating conflict between the hero and the&nbsp;biggest adversary will blow every previous encounter out of the water. But that isn&#39;t always the case. Sometimes all that mounting tension leads to a battle that&#39;s more than a little underwhelming.&nbsp;

Some movies use the disappointment to their advantage. The final fight in&nbsp;Kill Bill&nbsp;is made to be anticlimactic, as the quick end to the skirmish feels true to the nature of the characters - and, indeed, the conversation between the two former lovers seems like the main event. Other movies, however, fail to create a scene that feels at all compelling. Are we truly meant to believe that John Wick struggles to take down a single Russian man after slaying hordes of his henchmen throughout the film? We&#39;re not buying.&nbsp;

Whether it&#39;s the ineptitude of the filmmakers, or a deliberate choice on the part of the creators, anticlimactic final fights give us plenty to talk about.
