I want to hear what people have as their favorite fight scenes! Right now I think my current list includes the final fight in Yes, Madam and the Nameless vs Sky fight from Hero.

There's a couple!
I know it's cliche but one is the fight from the end of Drunken Master 2. Jackie is at his pique in choreography here and there are a lot of extremely Iconic moves here like when Jackie gets so mad he just runs directly toward the Ken Lo shouting, while Lo shuffles backward like a crab. There is also a sick corkscrew headbutt in here that whips alot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DASVxFS5tg&t=374s&ab_channel=Nova_N7
There's the final fight scene at the end of the third Ruroni Kenshin movie where all of Kenshins collected adversaries turned homoromantic frenemies, each of whom is present for different reasons, all team up to collectively beat ass on this guy who's severe burns cause him not to be able to regulate body heat, so hot he burns himself alive by fighting too hard. (the full fight is hard to find in it's totality, unfortunately, but it's like 15 entire minutes long and completely ballistic)
The final fight of Sword of The Stranger pulses with so much emotion and desperation that every time I watch it I cry a little. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT66YPk0Q5w&ab_channel=noisydope1138
And then there's this fight in Kamen Rider Drive (only slightly better than it gets credit for in some circles), where the battle against the true villain is fought by the secondary rider wielding the tertiary riders powers to avenge said tertiary rider, it kicks a lot of ass and makes me miss insert songs more than anything on earth. (It's out there unedited but I can't find it ;w;)
Then there is this other fight in Kamen Rider Zero One where the secondary rider unlocks his ultimate form (Bringing the belt calls of "Jump" and "Rise" full circle to "Everybody Jump" and "All Rise" which comes with it's own Mari jumping and shouting hype) and does the most violent clothsline/giant toss on a person you have ever seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhJPRROhunI&ab_channel=TokuDiary
The fight at the beginning of Kung Fu Hustle is spectacular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XePRxozV1yY
I will always love Darth Maul's last fight in Phantom Menace! I'm a bit biased though, because Darth Maul is my favorite and I wanna learn to fight like him SO BAD U>ᴥ<U✨
The Battle of the Crazy 88’s from Kill Bill is flat out awesome.
Someone mentioned Sword of a Stranger, which is definitely among my favorites, but I feel like i like subversions of physical fights than real ones; the fight ends realistically quickly, or it rapidly descends into a horrifically one-sided beat-down, or a character just runs from the fight because their actual goal isn't winning one fight, but removing this obstacle, and running just became the better option there.
Edit: I would like to add the final battle between Obi Wan and Maul in Star Wars Rebels: https://youtu.be/shHkJVHFFAk?si=MGDAoPmA7dVI4q58
Along with having personal meaning, it both plays well into that subversion of a physical fight I was talking about and has a lot of callback to their characters.
Yooo that was a great fight!! I love how much build-up it had and then the fight itself was over instantly!
Oh! Thought of another one. It's not a visual medium, but there's a book series called Stormlight Archive, and in the fourth book there is a fight between one of the protagonists, Adolin, VS about twenty fighters attacking an unrelated guard-captain. The fight immediately begins by Adolin—one of the single best fighters in the series and welding a huge greatsword—addressing the facts that his chances are slim to none, as it is trivially easy for even four trained soldiers to kill one man, no matter how good of a fighter, so long as they're organized. As a result, he spends the entire time struggling to be as brutally effective and terrifying as possible to keep them from organizing so he can rescue the unrelated guard-captain and not end up dead.
There's other elements that play into this, but what has stuck with me for the two years since I read it was how realistically the fight went, and how it didn't feel like the "conservation of ninjitsu trope", because he could kill any one of them in seconds, but any three stood a good chance of killing him.
