I've been in a couple of fights, seen others and one thing is abundantly clear:
They are short, scrappy and involve grabbing of clothes, wild kicks and punches and flailing body shots.
So why then, in movies, do punch-ups last ages and they act like they're professional stunt fighty dudes?
Utter pony.
One decent movie punch-up is "They Live" by John Carpenter.
Lasts 7 minutes because "I wanted to make the most ridiculous, moron fight scene ever", and it is.
But it always happens.
Except in Fight Club, that is realistic.
Watch the narrator 1st smack Tyler Durden "Ow man, you hit me in the ear!", and they are throwing each other about, grabbing hair and using stuff lying around.
Movie fights are rubbish.

Considering the fight scene in They Live is over Rowdy Roddy Pipers attempts to get that black dude to put on a pair of glasses, it just makes it all the more stupendously stupid.
Choreographed fights in boxing movies, now there's something to moan about. I know it has to be interesting, but how about a little realism??
