What fight is best fight of the film?

I not yet watch the film, but according to trailers, there're probably 5 fight scenes on the film:

1. IKO vs bald brother in a bar or restaurent: this fight is probably a main/major fight of the film

2. IKO vs a giant man at a physique training room

3. IKO vs Julie Estelle (armed with a knife) at a beach

4. IKO vs a man in glasses at a jungle (this fight is probably very brief, this man in glasses seems very weak)

5. IKO vs Sunny Pang at a dark room, it's probably the final fight of the film

From what I heard. The beach fight and the man with the glasses is good. That's Baseball Bat Boy from the Raid 3

There's more than 5 fight scenes in the movie (and they're all really good) Although they're shot and edited more erratically than in THE RAID (and not as technically choreographed) There's a lot more emphasis on knifes and guns (rather than martial arts in the first half)
I'd say in total there was about 10 fight scenes in the movie (because the hero tended to have full length fights with sequential combatants in the same location)

My personal favourite was near the beginning, when our hero had to fight off the guys attempting to burn down the bus. There was a real sense of urgency to the scene, and the limited space made it all the more tense (plus there's a great arm-snap in that sequence) The end fight with the boss was also really good and lengthy (and more inkeeping with the spirit of 'The Raid' franchise) they seemed to be using a lot of wing-chun as well.

All-in-all, HEADSHOT is a worthy addition to any action-movie fans collection. Although it has 'Drama' elements....it's still really action-packed (brutal) stuff.
Highly recommended.

Heck yeah---the part where Uwais was trapped in the bus and had to literally bust his way out was definitely one of the best fights in the film, and the other one where he and one of his enemies were smashing up anything with boards and jumping over tables in what looked like some kind of shop room, or whatever. I liked the whole film---I also liked how there were a lot of quiet scenes in the film, which made the fights that much more impactful and intense when they started. It's beautifully shot, too.
