Most memorable hand-to-hand combat scenes (pics welcome)

[Joel_Kirk]

The fight from DS9 where Sisko and Kira are pretty much handling all the Klingon intruders on the bridge. (The episode name escapes me, but I do think it's around the time the treaty between the Klingon Empire and the Federation was disbanded for a time).

In no particular order, from TOS:

Amok Time (Kirk vs. Spock)

It's always seemed quite bizarre that the "logical" Vulcans have a fight-to-the-death mating ritual on the books, but the scene itself is still pretty great.

Space Seed (Kirk vs. Khan)

Intimidating power from Khan, Kirk-fu at its finest.

From TNG:

Reunion (Worf vs. Duras)

Great character moment for Worf, who gets to do the unapologetically Klingon thing, and an occasion of personal duel where use of the batleth made sense.

Rightful Heir (Gowron vs. Kahless)

Another great Klingon duel, one which pulls off the feat of being riveting despite being between a pair of guest characters.

Darmok (Picard & Dathon vs. the El Adrel Creature)
[yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dr3qjjLxn8[/yt]

Brief and utilitarian but still memorable, and the key moment in IMO the single best alien-contact episode in all of Trek.

From DS9:

Q-Less (Sisko vs. Q)
[yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_NQnac8Abk[/yt]

A funny way of delivering character beats for both Sisko (that he's not going to play along for Q's entertainment) and Q (who, luckily for the non-omnipotent, plays by the rules of his own game and takes it on the chin rather sportingly).

 

[F. King Daniel]

The fight from DS9 where Sisko and Kira are pretty much handling all the Klingon intruders on the bridge. (The episode name escapes me, but I do think it's around the time the treaty between the Klingon Empire and the Federation was disbanded for a time).

That's "Way of the Warrior"

Thank you.

Best thing that ever happened to Q. If only Janeway had done the same thing and spared us even more tedious Q-based epsiodes!

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Anybody mention Kirk vs Thelev in "Journey to Babel"?

It's certainly memorable isn't it, Kirk missing with his flying butt kick, or whatever you call it?

While the execution leaves something to be desired, I like the aspect that Shatner is doing his own stunts here. I like that aspect a lot actually, because it helps sell the character of Kirk. I like also that Kirk is good but he's probably not the best hand-to-hand fighter in Starfleet. Misjudging his flying butt Kick (in story, is it because his feet accidentally touch the wall that he falls short?), that makes Kirk human.

Kirk and Spock going at it in the transporter room in "This Side of Paradise". It wasn't so much the fisticuffs that was memorable. It was the barrage of insults Kirk threw at Spock. "Computerized halfbreed", "overgrown jackrabbit", among other things.

That was actually kind of funny.


Another good fight scene was the one in the prison cell between Kirk, Spock and McCoy against the Romans in "Bread and Circuses". The Romans had the trio cornered and McCoy wound up throwing a mattress at the Romans.
