Name Kirk's best Fight scenes ...........

[DumbDumb2007]

What were Captain Kirk's favorite Fight scenes ? I vote that the best fight scenes he had on the show were the ones from Day of The Dove,Spectre of the Gun,the one with Khan,the Omega Glory ( he must have had a beer after that one !) and the Enterprise Incident.

Kirk's patented assjitsu fight with Thelev in Journey to Babel definitely bounces to mind.

TGT

 

[Outpost4]

The one with Finnegan, no doubt. It went on forever.

"Where No Man Has Gone Before" and "Amok Time"

 

[Mallory]

The mighty Butt Fu in Journey to Babel and his fight with Spock in Amok Time are probably my two favorites. I also have a warm spot in my heart for his fight with Spock in This Side of Paradise.

I thought the one from 'Court Martial' was pretty badass. My personal favourite because of some pretty bad doubling, even for TOS.

Yeah, the studio version of WNMHGB has a nice groin kick. Too bad it was edited out.

Anything at Vasquez Rocks. Arena, Shore Leave , and I can't remember what else was shot/fought there.

Tied to the wrist with Ron Tracy was an experience I bet Kirk wouldn't want to ever go through again. Great knock down, drag through the dirt, kick you in the ribs fight.

 

[EnsignHarper]

Actually.....they were all pretty good...bad doubling and all..

 

[Kryton]

I like the one from "The Corbomite Maneuver" when Bones is dogging Kirk to finish his medical exam.

 

[DavidFalkayn]

I have to go with his fight with Finnegan--you know what they say about payback...

Honorable mention goes to his Butt Fu against Thalev in Babel where he turned the other cheek...

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

Another good fight scene was off-camera in court over a paternity suit filed by Dr. Carol Marcus.

 

[TheLonelySquire]

Finnegan. All he ever wanted to do was beat the tar out of Finnegan!

 

[Captain Randy Hall]

Loved that dukeout in "Amok Time." And how come no one remembers the fun in "The Gamesters of Triskelion" when Kirk took on the woman with the two big water balloons????

 

[Ssosmcin]

Tomorrow is Yesterday. Not only is it a good brawl with some cool Kirk moves...there's NO doubling for Shatner. He does the entire fight himself. That was amazing and really added to the enjoyment of the fight.

The Space Seed fight is hilarious because in the long shots, Kirk gets taller and lankier, while Khan shrinks about 5 inches!

Yeah, that was pretty intense. Ron Tracy was a scary dude. When it came to a fight, I like that they didn't discount the fact he was a starship captain. And so he could more than hold his own.

(Which reminds me of the fight with Lord Garth. I thought it was funny: Spock could've just stunned everybody and sorted it out later, but...)

Oh, I have one -- Kirk putting the chop on Plasus in The Cloud Minders. Haha. Doctor Adams had one coming too.

And how many times did Kirk win the day thru his ability to needle the opposition into losing their cool?

 

[Cyclopean]

I love the fight against Khan in Space Seed, with Shatner/Stunt Double climbing the backwall in engineering so he can scissor-lock Khan's neck, then later beat him with a lead pipe.

Outstanding.

Kirk vs. teh Gorm.

I also have a warm spot in my heart for his fight with Spock in This Side of Paradise.

"And you've got the GALL -- ! -- to make Love to that Girl...!" Shatner and Nimoy were awesome. That wasn't their only fight, either. He fought Mirror Spock, too. And, in The Naked Time, he got backhanded across a table and did a fine job of flying.

Actually.....they were all pretty good...bad doubling and all..

Yeah. Yeah, they really were. And, let's not forget the most rousing Fight Music of all times, pumping in the background.

I recall Shatner had some hilarious passages in his autobiography about fights in real life and the momentary urge to use those Kirk maneuvers.

And how come no one remembers the fun in "The Gamesters of Triskelion" when Kirk took on the woman with the two big water balloons????

Kirk's finely-horned sense of tactics on display. What would they have done if Kirk had been assigned the Male drill thrall? That'd mess up his whole game.

Haha -- or maybe not -- he could still bring the flattery, right? To save his crew? I can see him holding up the shiny silver tray to show the thrall his reflection. "Now that...That's Handsome..." *KRANG*

I love the fight against Khan in Space Seed, with Shatner/Stunt Double climbing the backwall in engineering so he can scissor-lock Khan's neck, then later beat him with a lead pipe.

Yeah, that beatdown with the pipe -- I enjoyed how Kahn sloowwly bowed down to the floor as Kirk beat on him and graaadually fell asleep, showing just what a tough bastard he is.

Man...Imagine if we could've gotten a second Khan / Kirk brawl in The Wrath Of Khan. Shame they never met face to face in the sequel. "I, of course, remember you..."

I guess they tried to make up for that lack with the Kruge / Kirk brawl in STIII, but imagine if it was Kahn instead, against the backdrop of a planet exploding around them.

Kirk vs. teh Gorm.

They did a rather good job of depicting Kirk against inhuman (or extrahuman) strength. Spock, Kahn, The Gorn, The Mugatu, Ruk, Flint...
