Every single fight scene in The 13th Warrior.
What were they thinking filming that movie in virtually complete darkness? Now, it could have had the best fight scenes ever for all I know, but who could tell? [Roll Eyes] I always wondered if they were covering up for poor stuntwork or just had cheap lighting...

Muh, I have a thing for Norse mythology, so I watched that movie. They really could've done a better job with it.

Well, the plot saved much of it. (I really enjoyed the Norse language learning montage. An interesting treatment of how another language is processed and learned.)

And some of the individual sword hits were okay.

But now that you mention it, yeah, it could have been better. It was just enjoyable enough for me that I didn't compare it at the time.

Surely there has to be worse than that though.

The Sonny Corleone fight scene from the Godfather. Great movie, but the angles of the fight scene show that James Caan is missing his sister's husband by about a mile or seven.

Any fight scene from a Charlie's Angels movie or possibly the Jet Li meets Gangsta Rap movies...

I'd vote for any scene in any of the James Bond movies starring Roger Moore. None of the Bonds have been really good fighters, but whoever thought this slow, goofy, weak, crochety, flabby breasted sucker could pull off a convincing fight scene with a dead schnauzer needs his head examined. Heck, Tattoo from Fantasy Island almost kicked his ass in The Man with the Golden Gun, and when you put him against grown men, it's just embarassing.

I'll second the matrix vote. It may have been good choreography, but jeez, enough is enough, especialy when they both know the whole thing is pointless.
