No it wasn't. The only good thing about it was how the scene was shot. That was cool. But the fighting itself was a stumbling mess.

I'd choose that fight scene in oldboy over most fight scenes anyday. :)
Eh, it just seemed too much like they were trying to make it look gritty and realistic, but they screwed that idea up when he got stabbed and then carried on regardless, as well as the usual problem of having 40 guys against one with 38 of them or so just standing there waiting for a turn half of the time. So you basically get unremarkable fighting with unrealistic settings. His first fight out of being locked up in his film is better than that one, even if it is too short.
I don't look to much into it and really REALLY don't care about "40 guys against one with 38 of them or so just standing there waiting for a turn half of the time" It was just a fight scene I enjoyed.
I don't usually care about the 40 vs 1 guy either, or I never would have listen ong bak and tom yum goong, just with the realism they tried to factor into it made the whole thing dumb to me.
BUT OH WELL, to each his own. :}
Thats genius about Oldboys fight scene, it was real fighting, not flawless Martial arts which is littered around in action movies nowadays.
I have one more to add.
Jackie Chans final fight in Drunken Master 2
im quite an imaginery person, not in a geeky way i assure you. If you saw picture of me you would know. But only fight scene that ive ever really enjoyed, was achtully Dragonball Z Kakarot vs Vegeta. well i was young.. so
>>> (Ultraman vs. Kamen Rider) After a foe of Ultraman's (Gadras) and a foe of Kamen Rider #1 (Poison Scorpion Man) merged to create the new and more powerful Sasori-Gadras, the two heroes joined forces to defeat this threat.
I do agree with you Raebus about the 40 vs 1 fight scene in Oldboy. I just loved the camera angle used. Really great!
