you mean "felix la pubelle" right?  that's benny "the jet" urquidez, who fought Jackie Chan in two movies.  this guy has never lost a fight in his life and he's in his 50s now.  I've met him once, the guy's face is permanently swollen from all the hits to his face, but he's still very sharp and funny, and he trains John Cusack personally.

A random scattering of faves:

- The Parallax View: Warren Beatty vs. The Hick Deputy (which starts over a glass of milk!)
- The Matrix Reloaded: Burly Brawl
- Barry Lyndon: Ryan O'Neal vs. some British dude
- Lethal Weapon: Gibson vs. Busey (!)
- Escape from New York: Snake in the ring vs. that bald dude
- Fireworks: Takeshi Kitano and a rock vs. some Yakusa (albeit short, but Kitano kicking any ass is tops in my book)

On TV:
- Alias: Jen Garner vs. Merrin Dungey (end of season 2)
- The Simpsons: Homer vs. Bart's 'new dad' (I forget which episode, it ends w/ Homer bent backwards over fire hydrant)

I should have clarified:  The neighbor says it to Liotta when he walks over and his answer is to pistol whip him. :-D

I didn't think the neighbour said that line either.. I thought only De Niro said "fucko" in Goodfellas.

I just finished revisiting 'Lethal Weapon 4' (what an underrated installment) and I didn't remember the fight scenes being so cool! The brawl in Glovers house in which our heroes hold their own against the chop-socky baddies...only to have the bejeezus kicked out of them by Jet Li, was ace. But the final fight (Gibson & Glover Vs. Li) completely owned. Ferocious and suprisingly bloody. One of Hollywood's last tastes of 'live' fights before cinema went all 'Matrix slo-mo'-ergh. I'm enjoying seeing new Hollywood actioners with fights that aren't all slo-mo'd and computer-raped lately ('Kill Bill', 'Walking Tall' etc.).

Now I doubting myself, I'm gonna have to go back and check.  Regardless, it's a great (one-sided) fight scene.  Anger at its finest!
