20 Best Movie Fight Scenes Of 2015

By Padraig Cotter /

11. Creed Vs. "The Lion" - Creed

The Rocky spin-off that managed to beat the odds by being really good, Creed tells the story of Apollo Creed€™s son trying to be a world-class fighter in his own right. In addition to being a really solid drama, the movie also has a single take fight scene that got everyone's attention. The shot might be technically impressive €“ following Creed from the start of a boxing match all the way to the end €“ but it€™s not there just to impress. The director wanted to put the viewer into the mindset of a boxer once they€™ve entered the ring, so they could feel the isolation and focus of a fighter for themselves. This works a treat, making the fight a real gut-wrenching experience. All of the film's fights are great, but this is the one people will be talking about years from now.
