The 10
Greatest Punches
After watching close to twenty hours of 'Ultimate Fighter'
Saturday night on Spike TV, I needed a vent for my testosterone. I tried
punching my dog but the little f*cker is too quick. Six beers later I woke up in
a bush on the side of my house. This was the result (so my wife tells me) of
climbing on my roof and screaming out war cries like Dutch in PREDATOR. As I
humbly sit down in front of the computer, I've decided to show you how it's
really done. A collection of the greatest single punches in the history of film.

5. The Skate Around -
SLAP SHOT (1977)
Steve Hanson (Steve Carlson) only needed one pass to realize
there was something shifty about #2. The next time around he delivered this bomb
sending the guy vertical and starting an all-out brawl before the puck was even
dropped. The best scene in a film filled with memorable punching.
4. Mr. Anderson -
THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS (2003)
It all came down to this fight. Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Agent
Smith (Hugo Weaving) battle for the better part of ten minutes before The One
delivers this mind boggling blow to the side of Smith's face. The power of slow
motion lets us feel every bone cracking second of it and leaves us wondering how
anyone could get up after that.
3. The Russian's Cut -
ROCKY IV (1985)
This moment marks the only time in my life that I stood up and
cheered in a movie theatre (give me a break, I was 11). After watching his best
friend die in his arms, almost losing his wife, training in conditions fit for a
Husky, and getting his ass beat for the first few rounds of the bout, Rocky
finally finds a crack in the armor of the great Drago and lets loose with the
punch heard around the world.
2. Hello, McFly -
BACK TO THE FUTURE (1985)
For all we know, this punch saved all humanity. When George
McFly's balls finally dropped and he laid out Biff, the world became a better
place. Don't let the two sequels ruin it's importance and let's all thank the
Gods that Marty didn't bang his Mom.
1. Here Comes Mongo -
BLAZING SADDLES (1974)
When a man roles into town on the bare back of a white bull and
then punches the living shit out of an innocent horse on his way to the saloon,
he is not to be f*cked with. Mongo (Alex Karras) makes one of the funniest
entrances in movie history here but the part that still makes me laugh the
hardest is the reaction on the horse's face as he's laying on the ground
afterward. Priceless.
"What the f*ck was
that for?"
