1
It was full tilt jungle madness.
2
Welcome to WatchMojo.
3
And today we're counting down our picks for the best movie fight scenes set in high schools.
4
Based on their intensity, iconic status, and all-round rough-and-tumble nature.
5
We'll only be looking at scenes that were set in a high school.
6
Not just film fights between teenagers of high school age.
7
Also, a spoiler alert is now in effect.
8
Let that be a lesson to you.
9
Actions have consequences.
10
When Marty's sent back in time to 1955,
11
he has to make sure his parents George and Lorraine end up together at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.
12
There's a slight complication in that Biff has his eye on Lorraine and she's into Marty.
13
to do is go over there and ask her.
14
Despite all this, Marty comes up with a plan for George to rescue Lorraine on the night of the dance.
15
When George arrives to save Lorraine, he finds Biff there, and she's actually in danger.
16
Biff tells him to leave, but George stands his ground.
17
No, Biff.
18
You leave her alone.
19
All right, my blood.
20
You're asking for it, and now you're going to get it.
21
Biff easily has George pinned, but after a distraction from Lorraine, George is able to lay him out with one punch.
22
Number 19.
23
Luke Davenport vs. Rob MacArthur, First Kid Being the son of the president probably has its perks, but it can also bring unwanted attention.
24
That's the issue facing Luke Davenport as he's picked on by classmate Rob MacArthur.
25
You think you're better than everyone?
26
Not everyone.
27
Did you hear what he just said to me?
28
After an exchange of insults during lunch, the two come face to face and are quickly surrounded by fellow students eager to see a fight.
29
Luke throws a few punches, but they fail to connect.
30
Rob hits Luke right in the mouth before the fight is broken up.
31
Don't feel too bad for Luke, as throughout the film, he trains to be a better fighter.
32
And when the two square up at a school dance, Luke is able to deliver a KO to Rob.
33
Number 18.
34
Mike O'Donnell vs. Stan.
35
17 again.
36
After being transformed back into his 17-year-old self, Mike begins to learn more about his kids.
37
He finds out that his son is being picked on by Stan, who also is the same guy who's dating his daughter Maggie.
38
Understandably, this does not sit well with Mike as Stan is a jerk.
39
In a class about sex ed, Stan makes a comment about how he's gonna get it on with Maggie over the weekend and Mike just loses it.
40
He tackles Stan, but unfortunately for him, Stan quickly gets the upper hand and just wails on Mike.
41
The whole thing is filmed and it goes viral.
42
It was a valiant effort, but Mike did not stand a chance.
43
Number 17.
44
Alien Teacher.
45
The Faculty.
46
The teachers are being controlled by aliens at Harrington High School.
47
Several students have noticed some peculiarities, but nothing definitive.
48
Casey finds a weird creature in the grass and brings it to Mr. Furlong, who believes it to be some undiscovered parasite.
49
After a closer encounter with the infected faculty,
50
Casey and others return to Mr. Furlong's classroom to retrieve the creature.
51
It's gone, but Furlong soon shows up and it's not long before he tries to infect them, but the students fight back.
52
Some of the CG doesn't hold up,
53
but it's still freaky nonetheless to find out your teacher is an alien.
54
Brennan and Dale are returning home after a series of unsuccessful job interviews.
55
On their way back home, they come across a group of kids Dale's had trouble with previously.
56
The kids swarm them and the two are beaten pretty badly.
57
By the end of the film, Brennan and Dale have become successful and decide to pay a visit to their schoolyard adversaries.
58
This time around, they proceed to absolutely wallop the kids even though they are vastly outnumbered.
59
It's an outlandish, over-the-top sequence that you can't help laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of everything.
60
After he avoids her for several days, Andy is finally able to track down Blaine at school.
61
She inquires about their prom plans and he sheepishly says he had asked someone else to go but forgot about it.
62
She accuses him of lying, and the real reason is he's ashamed to be seen with her.
63
She leaves heartbroken.
64
When Blaine leaves, he runs into Steph who further disparages Andy.
65
Witness to all this was Ducky, who reached his breaking point after Steph insulted Andy.
66
Ducky tackles Steph to the ground and a fight ensues.
67
It's broken up and Ducky runs away, but we totally get where he's coming from.
68
Number 14.
69
Pre-Game Tussle.
70
Bring it on.
71
The Rancho Carne Toros football team does not have a stellar reputation.
72
When they run onto the field for their home game against a rival school, there's barely a reaction from the crowd.
73
Put your hands together for the Rancho Carne Toros!
74
This is contrasted by the crowd's reaction when the Toros cheerleading team is announced where everyone goes wild.
75
It makes sense as the cheerleaders have won five cheerleading championships, while the football team can barely play.
76
In fact, the opposing football team begins taunting the Toros, and a bench-clearing brawl ensues.
77
We don't see much of the action, but if the Toros fight like they play, we didn't miss much.
78
Number 13.
79
Harry Potter vs. Draco Malfoy Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince There have been some strange occurrences at Hogwarts, such as Katie Bell being cursed and Ron Weasley being poisoned.
80
Draco Malfoy has been acting rather peculiar, and Harry suspects he may be involved with what happened to Katie and Ron.
81
I've been trying to remember, honestly. But I just can't.
82
Harry confronts Malfoy in the bathroom, and without a word, Malfoy starts sending out hexes Harry's way.
83
The two boys duel, but no one is really able to land a hit until Harry uses a spell from his potions book
84
that sends Malfoy to the ground.
85
He's badly injured as a result, and luckily, Snape arrives to heal Malfoy.
86
Number 12.
87
The Locker Room Fight.
88
Dangerous Minds.
89
Luanne Johnson is struggling to connect with her students as they're from low-income backgrounds and don't see school as something valuable.
90
Two of her students, Emilio and Raul, come across each other in the halls and have beef.
91
Get to your classes.
92
Okay, it's all over.
93
Move!
94
As tensions between them rise, Luanne steps in to break things up and makes them swear there's no further animosity.
95
After they leave, Angela tells Luan they're gonna fight anyway.
96
Sure enough, in a locker room is a full-on brawl.
97
It's a hectic scene as blows are exchanged until security arrives to intervene.
98
Before being taken away, Luan asks Raul why he fought.
99
He replies that if he didn't, he'd look weak and subject to attack himself.
100
You promised!
101
Yeah, but we had to.
102
We couldn't walk around with our heads up no more.
103
We got a reputation to protect you, a Marine.
104
You understand?
105
Like if America didn't stand up, everyone would attack and will in our neighborhood.
106
If you don't stand up, you can't walk down the street because everyone will attack.
107
Number 11.
108
Noah Sandborn vs. Jason Zimmer, the boy next door.
109
Noah is new to town.
110
He quickly becomes obsessed with next-door neighbor Claire and befriends her son Kevin as part of his manipulation tactics.
111
Could be worse.
112
If you didn't have a brother, you'd be working full-time.
113
Noah Sandborn.
114
Allie, nice to meet you.
115
Nice to meet you too.
116
Friends with Kevin here.
117
Now I'm gonna go look around.
118
At school, Kevin is taunted by Jason Zimmer, and when Kevin talks back, it looks like a fight is about to break out between the two.
119
Out of nowhere, Noah enters and clocks Jason and throws him to the ground.
120
Jason's friends promptly ditch, and when the vice principal tries to break it up, she's shoved aside.
121
This isn't so much a fight as it is a one-sided beatdown showing just how violent Noah can be.
122
Number 10, Martin Blank vs. Felix Lapubelle Gross Point Blank
123
When a cynical hitman returns to his hometown for a high school reunion, he tries to reconnect with people and places from his past.
124
And who might you be?
125
It is I, Sidney Feldman.
126
Oh, been overseas?
127
A life of murder for hire is pretty hard to shake though.
128
At the reunion, Martin Blank explores the halls, and between the lockers is set upon by a rival hitman.
129
The fight is fast and furious, the two contract killers both showing off their martial arts prowess.
130
Hopefully, the school has never seen a rumble this serious before.
131
Fortunately, Blank is prepared for class and can finish the impromptu assignment.
132
Remember kids, always bring a pen.
133
Number 9.
134
Jack Bronson vs. Travis, The Warrior's Gate.
135
I gave you the option.
136
You gave me the option.
137
Jack Bronson has it kind of rough kinda rough.
138
As if it isn't bad enough that he and his mom might lose their house, he's also got bullies to deal with between part-time jobs and school.
139
Fortunately, after coming into possession of a magical artifact, he becomes a fighting expert in real life as well as video games.
140
After surviving a magical quest in the United Kingdom, he returns home and is once more confronted by his bully Travis.
141
This time, he's ready.
142
In no time at all, he puts Travis to the ground.
143
Short and sweet though the scene may be, there's nothing quite like seeing a jerk put in his place and the little guy coming out on top.
144
Don't touch me!
145
I don't know.
146
Number 8.
147
Lee and Noah Flynn vs. Tuppen, The Kissing Booth Ninth grade skirt and eleventh grade body.
148
Perfect!
149
When Elle Evans returns to school accidentally wearing a too short skirt, she gets more than a few looks.
150
One kid, Tuppen, decides to take it upon himself to be that guy and grab her butt.
151
Elle is horrified, and Lee Flynn, her best friend, is justifiably outraged.
152
How about I relax your face?
153
Lee, it's fine, I got this!
154
Lee!
155
Ah!
156
I did not think that through.
157
Vying hard for douche of the year on day one of school, Tuppen just smirks, setting Lee off.
158
Raring to fight but outsized, Lee is backed up by older brother Noah, who jumps into the fray and proceeds to loosen some of Tuppen's teeth.
159
Swift comeuppance is always so satisfying.
160
Me?
161
Now!
162
Everyone, homeroom!
163
Now!
164
Douchebag!
165
This is one high school fight scene on our list that's devastating rather than satisfying.
166
Chiron has it hard enough trying to support his drug-addicted mother and avoiding bullies.
167
The situation worsens when his main bully, Terrell, forces Chiron's friend Kevin to fight Chiron in order to prove himself.
168
Kevin's betrayal carries an extra sting, since the two became physically intimate the night before.
169
It's heartbreaking to watch Chiron take punch after punch, refusing to fight back, as Kevin urges him to stay down.
170
Stay down!
171
Chiron does get his revenge against Tyrell, but at a high cost, getting sent to Juvenile Hall.
172
Will Stronghold vs. Royal Payne, Sky High My only regret,
173
that this may be the finest supervillain speech ever given.
174
And you don't even know what I'm saying.
175
Will Stronghold's first fight against War and Peace is certainly memorable, helping to establish both characters.
176
But it's Will's final showdown with the truly villainous Royal Pain that we had to go with here.
177
After it's revealed that Gwen is the real Royal Pain, the two superpowered teens duke it out.
178
Royal with her tech suit and Will with his super strength.
179
Fun and exciting, flashing back and forth between the main conflict and the separate fights of his friends.
180
The showdown unlocks a final surprise, both for Will and the audience.
181
Royal pain wasn't my mother.
182
Royal pain is me!
183
Oh my god.
184
Why can't this have been our school?
185
Number 5.
186
Ron Strickland vs. Andy Campbell, Fist Fight.
187
The nice thing about growing up is being able to put all your childish feuds behind you.
188
Getting older, wiser, and more mature.
189
Unless you're these guys.
190
After running afoul of the ill-tempered and unhinged Ron Strickland, Andy Campbell is challenged to an old-school after-school fight.
191
After Campbell's desperate attempts to avoid the fight all fail, and because there are zero responsible authorities in this universe apparently, they finally throw down in a big way,
192
with the whole school egging them on.
193
See?
194
Let that be a lesson to you.
195
Actions have consequences.
196
There's something endlessly entertaining about seeing teachers brawling like there's no tomorrow.
197
Pass the popcorn.
198
Number 4.

206

207
What are you talking about?
208
I'm talking about your pet ape just tripped me.
209
You gonna say something?
210
While Patrick lands the first blow, it's not long before Brad's jock buddies are ganging up.
211
The escalation and emotional climax of Charlie's intervention intervention, make this a scene that sticks with you long after the final hit.
212
Katie Herron just wanted friends.
213
After moving from Africa to Illinois, she befriends a couple of misfits before infiltrating the plastics, a clique of popular girls.
214
I'll never tell Regina what you said.
215
It'll be our little secret.
216
After Katie takes Queen Bee Regina George's place, Regina decides that if she's going down, so is the whole hive.
217
She releases all the details of their notorious burn book, a scrapbook of rumors, half-truths, and ugly lies, resulting in a school-wide brawl.
218
Oh my god, that was one time!
219
The scene is wild, hilarious, and chaotic, As the junior girls revert to jungle madness the moment their secrets are exposed and friendships tested.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
