30. The Drunken Immortal Vs. The Silent Monk - The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)
There isn't much to love about The Forbidden Kingdom a fluffy marital arts action adventure film made by the guy who directed The Lion King - but it does contain a pretty epic showdown between two martial arts movie legends: Jet Li and Jackie Chan. When Lu Yan (Jackie Chan) - a supposed "immortal," who remains alert and agile even when drunk - enters the temple of the silent monk (Li), the two have a misunderstanding in the form of an all out martial arts brawl. The subsequent battle is quite over-the-top and the scene frequently disobeys the laws of physics, but its all part of the fun. Both of the film's stars weren't exactly spring chickens when the movie was released in 2008 (Li was 45, Chan 54), but all things considered, they put on quite a show and the significance of seeing these two icons share the screen is more than worth the price of admission. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xtkhf-5PXKM
