00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at fights from television that hit the hardest.
00:12To be clear, we won't be including any animated fight scenes or large-scale war battles.
00:2210. Daryl Dixon vs. Beta – The Walking Dead
00:30When the enormous Beta and his fellow Whisperers pursue Daryl Dixon in pursuit of their leader's daughter, Daryl sets up a trap for them in an office building.
00:43While he's able to kill Beta's men easily enough, Beta himself is another matter.
00:48A vicious fight ensues, with both combatants using knives, saws, and 2x4s against each other.
00:54Where is she?
01:00Finally, Daryl manages to use the unfinished construction site to hide, and then surprise Beta, pushing him down an elevator shaft.
01:10It's an epic clash between two of the series' most capable fighters.
01:14If not for the zombie apocalypse, it could have sold out a stadium of viewers.
01:18You know who that asshole was?
01:21Yeah, nobody.
01:229. Sidney Bristow vs. Allison Doran – Alias
01:27Want some?
01:31Sure.
01:33Sidney Bristow and her roommate, Francie, are relaxing at home when the former receives a message identifying Francie as an imposter.
01:41After testing her, Sidney goes to retrieve her gun, but is confronted by Allison, the not-Francie.
01:47I just remembered.
01:50Francie doesn't like coffee ice cream.
01:54No, she doesn't.
01:55The two then engage in a no-holds-barred brawl throughout their house.
01:59Glass, furniture, and probably plenty of bones are broken in the ensuing fight.
02:09Some of the moves are acrobatic and stylized, but most are quick and brutal.
02:14Sidney eventually retrieves her gun to shoot the woman masquerading as her friend.
02:18All in all, it's one of the most intense fights between two women ever put on TV.
02:238. Geralt vs. Renfri's Gang – The Witcher
02:27As the titular Witcher, Geralt of Rivia haunts monsters.
02:32But sometimes, those monsters end up being human, too.
02:35When Renfri threatens to slaughter her way through a town to get at a sorcerer, Geralt decides
02:40to choose the lesser evil and fights her and her gang.
02:43She gave us a message to pass on to you.
02:46You have to choose the lesser evil.
02:48It's an ultimatum.
02:49Get it?
02:51Geralt cuts through her men in increasingly gruesome ways in a continuous shot that's beautifully
02:56executed.
02:57As if that wasn't fantastic enough, he then duels with Renfri herself.
03:02Leave Blaviken.
03:03It's not too late.
03:06Magic doesn't work on me.
03:08Silver does though.
03:11Silver is for monsters.
03:12The matchup between Geralt's greatsword and Renfri's smaller sword and dagger makes for
03:17some great choreography.
03:19Ultimately, though, Geralt is forced to kill her with her own knife.
03:24With its combination of tragedy and bloody action, this fight is a fantastic distillation
03:29of the best parts of The Witcher.
03:357.
03:39Prison Fight – Reacher The premiere of this action series starts
03:43with a bang.
03:47Titular hero Jack Reacher is stuck in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
03:51Placed among the general population, along with a shifty banker, they're harassed by
03:56several inmates.
03:58Later in the bathroom, they're attacked by a whole gang.
04:01Reacher warns them off before attacking first.
04:04I give you to the count of three.
04:06One.
04:08His methodical, brutal takedowns of each of his foes is a sight to behold.
04:13Bones are broken, heads are smashed into sinks, and eyes are gouged out.
04:17It's overwhelmingly one-sided, but we love it all the same.
04:256.
04:26Melinda May vs Agent 33 – Agents of S.H.I.E.L.E.L.E.L.E.
04:34I'm the only one seeing this right now.
04:36As the woman they call The Cavalry, Melinda May has plenty of great fight scenes in this
04:41show.
04:42But perhaps her greatest fight is with… herself.
04:46Sort of.
04:47After her doppelganger, Agent 33, is exposed, May engages her double in a mirror match in
04:52a hotel room.
04:53It won't go down easy, that makes two of us.
04:57The duo fight all over the room, performing flips to twist out of grips, throwing each
05:02other over counters, and the table slam will never get old.
05:07Speaking of never getting old, does anyone else have a hard time believing actress Ming-Na
05:12Wen was in her 50s here?
05:15Crazy right?
05:16May wins by electrocution, ensuring that Agent 33 looks a little less like her from now on.
05:21The best part about killing you is that I won't have to be you anymore.
05:25If you were really me, you wouldn't talk so much.
05:33Number 5.
05:34Nola Longshadow vs Clay Burton – Banshee
05:37So you're Proctor's big bad watchdog.
05:42You don't look so tough from where I'm standing.
05:44This criminally underrated show is loaded with some of the most brutal fight scenes on
05:48TV.
05:49And this is arguably the best.
05:51Nola Longshadow announces her presence at Kai Proctor's house by throwing a hatchet into
05:56the chest of Proctor's man, Clay Burton.
05:59So here's the plan.
06:01Unwilling to let Nola kill his employer, Burton engages in a vicious fight with her.
06:05The duo grapple in and around Proctor's car, with the camera following them inside it and
