Everybody loves a good bar fight, even if it’s just in a movie and not in real life.  As a rugged bad ass, I’ve always appreciated testosterone bubbling to unhealthy levels and the resulting violence that ensues.  I’ve been kicked out of more bars than you’ve had a drink in, and often – but not always – it’s been because of a good ol’ fashioned slobberknocker.  In honor of drunken men and women attacking each other after they’ve loaded up on liquid courage, I put together a collection of clips featuring some of the most awesome bar fights in movies.  I’m posting the first half today, and you can see the second half tomorrow.  In the meantime, enjoy.

Road House

You’d expect to see some bar fights in a movie that is pretty much about bar fights.

From Dusk Till Dawn

The Gecko brothers get in over their heads when they enter a vampire bar.

Serenity

The bar patrons are no match for River.

A Bronx Tale

One of the best bar scenes in any movie, ever.  Don’t tell me those bikers didn’t have that beatdown coming.

Airplane!

Between the fighting girl scouts and the Saturday Night Fever parody, this scene always cracked me up.

Star Wars

He doesn’t like you.  I don’t like you, either.

48 Hours

Not so much a huge fight as it is Reggie rightfully taking out his frustration on racist redneck a-holes.

Universal Soldier

They should have just let Van Damme eat.

Top Secret

Not your traditional bar fight; this one’s underwater.

Superman II

Alright, so it’s more of a “diner” than a “bar,” but I’m pretty sure you could order alcohol in this place.

Goodfellas

Get your f*cking shinebox!

Anger Management

If you ask me, the blind guy deserved a beating.  He was sending out some very dirty looks.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Big bikers are no match for a machine from the future.

Be sure to come back for Part II tomorrow!
