20 Most Intense TV Scenes Ever

9. Fight To The Death - Deadwood

Deadwood's fight sequence between Dan Dority and Captain Turner doesn't possess any of the balletic brilliance of Daredevil; instead, it's a proper slugfest - a hard, dirty, scrap where only one can make it out alive.

A five-minute-long sequence that doesn't break its focus from the pair rolling around beating the living daylights out of each other, it features just about every possible way to hurt someone using just your hands (or whatever you can get your hands on). Neither side is going to quit until they're completely forced to, and the scene will leave you as empty as they are.
