I notice that the Syndey character is tough as hell and if I was a character in alias I wouldn't mess with her but she seems to get overpowered by other females on this show where she has to shoot them
To those comparing this to the Bourne Ultimatum fight scenes, read the description. The uploader said this is "one of the best fight scenes he's ever seen on TELEVISION." "Television" being the operative word here. Of course the fight scenes in any of the Bourne films are better (or even the one in Kill Bill vol. 1), because the choreographers had more creative freedom. Remember: This was a scene on NETWORK television. To think that they actually accomplished something of this quality is..WOAH!
The best fight ever. That includes TV AND movies! There are 2 things that I especially love about it. 1) I love how long and brutal it is and 2) the sound fx was truly awesome. The sound effects of every glass breaking, ect. It's truly epic. Best sound fx job I've ever heard.
when i first seen this on dvd lol i was still young when this show was airing but now im 19 and i would say that season 2 final was the best fight sceen ever and jennifer gardener can kick some ass on every epsiode that she did and i love it when she have a weapon in her hand im just like that to lol
This was an awesome fight scene, so gritty and realistic, no fancy crap that wouldn't work in real life, as proved when Francie grabs Syd's attempt at a jumping kick & just ploughs her into the mirror.
Totally agreed.. and since this episode aired in May 2003, Kill Bill Vol. 1 Oct. 2003, and Vol.2 in 2004, Quentin Tarantino's totally copied it! But then again, all of the fight scenes are very raw and real (same as in the trailer)
Plus he even guest starred and spoke of how much he was a fan, so total copy cat.
i had the luck to get to visit the set when they did this fight and it was so great to watch. Merrin and Jennifer were awesome - throwing themselves around like that! and they were really nice (as was JJ Abrams and Jesse Alexander who took me on a little tour of all the shoot locations). i even got to see the SD6 set before they tore it down!
no it had realistic fight scenes not all fights scene have to have martial arts coming out the ass with wire work and unrealistic gravity defying moves
They were more like the original Star Trek fights as oppose to martial arts fights that you see in Walker TX Ranger, The Matrix or even Bourne Identity.
24 is better because the fight scenes are all down-and-dirty like in Die Hard
Now that I've (finally) completed watching Season 2 on DVD I can watch this and respond. This was a great scene both in style and psychologically. Poor Sydney barely has time to mourn her (obviously) dead friend before she is forced to literally fight and "kill" someone with her image. Such an emotionally charged roller coaster scene. Very freaky.
You know... this is a brutal fight scene for Jennifer Garner's character... but it's nothing compared to her fight scene in The Kingdom. Anyone who has seen that movie knows what I'm talking about. It's a much shorter fight scene... maybe 45 seconds long... but it's a LOT more realistic/true to life and grimmer.
this is without a doubt the best fight scene i have ever seen in my life evertyme i think of an alias fight thsi is definetely the best one! AWESOME BUTT KICKING JEN GARNER AND MERRIN DUNGEY REALLY OUTDID THEMSELVES ON THIS ONE!! :) LOVE LOVE IT ALIAS BEST TV SHOW EVER!!
Definitely one of the best catfight scenes I have seen on television!Unfortunately for this show there were other catfight scenes that came few and far between,and did not measure up to this one.
I remember this one! This is the best one! It's what I remember when I think of fights off of Alias. LOL Then there's Syd's fight with her sister to turn off that bomb thing while she's a zombie; that's the next best one. :)
Francine won the fight but didn't finish her. If she had continued the attack while Sydney was down, she could have avoided the perforated chest. Why are the bad guys always so stupid?
TomBurgos, this episode aired months before Kill Bill was released. QT is a huge "Alias" fan (he guest-starred on the show several times)...it's much more likely that he referenced the show when filming some of the Kill Bill fights.
this is my second favourite fight scene ever. Buffy vs. Faith in Faiths apartment being number 1, but this fight is amazing. Merrin and Jen must have worked so hard on this.
I love buffy, but it is soooo obvious when they use a stunt double. This fight scene is...like a more mature version of the Buffy fights. And this did come out long before Kill Bill.
LOL. Everytime I watch this scene, I always think "Does she have any neighbours?" Id've noticed all those gunshots it they were like four blocks away from me, LOL. Best fight scene from Alias, the best show ;)
Can some please post a buffy v faith fight so i can compare i loved this fight scene beats anythingi had ever seen b4 i love alias and jeenifer garnier!
I don't know why everyone says Buffy and Faith's fight was better. Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of it but this one is better and not so much in cool looking moves but it just looked more realistic. B and F's looked too choreographed to be a real fight between two enemies.
Goodness I hate this fight scene. Don't get me wrong, I love Alias and Jennifer Garner but I think they played this scene way too much. Also the blood dribbling out of the bullet hole makes me queasy(sp?)
Didnt like it at all . Punches and kicks looked fake big time ( in the sense they dont look like they wanna hit each other ). The only realistic thing was throwing items around( but that anyone can do).
I notice that the Syndey character is tough as hell and if I was a character in alias I wouldn't mess with her but she seems to get overpowered by other females on this show where she has to shoot them

Too fake for me. Jack Bauer fight scenes on the show "24" are better & that's the truth.
This was a good show though.

You can't compare the fights of Alias and 24.
Alias is more spectacular.
24 is more real with dirty shots. (Camera wise) Don't mean this in a bad way, cause a love the show.
