Iron Fist: 10 Best Moments

1. The Drunken Master Fight

And finally, the series' best moment comes in the eighth episode, when Danny, Colleen and Claire head to China (with the world's worst location doubling) to track down Madame Gao.

Here Danny comes face to face with Zhou Cheng (Lewis Tan), a drunken martial arts expert and disciple of Ch'i-Lin, who has to stay drunk in order to "sedate the dragon".

A fight soon breaks out, with Cheng's unconventional combat style and eccentric personality catching Danny off-guard for a moment. Mid-battle, Cheng takes a swig of his booze flask and offers a taste to Danny, and later stops again to compliment Danny's haircut.

It's a marvelously assembled fight scene with Tan just oozing personality, enough that you might wish he'd played Iron Fist instead of Finn Jones (he in fact originally auditioned for the Danny Rand role).
