Quick! I need some help! This is all relevant!

1. How do you write an exceptionally good fight scene?

2. How do you write an exceptionally good fist-fighting scene?

3. What's a good action-movie one-liner to use when you're throwing an ostrich-egg-sized rock at someone?

Wow, that is pretty good... I guess I should have asked, "What's a so-bad-it's-good pun that you could use when throwing a rock at someone?"

1&2: I'd say do it like quiller does. Instead of creating endless links that interrupt the story,  just write out how the fight scene goes without the links but change the color on specific words.

Ex: Ducking to avoid a punch that would have met with my face, I leaned back and put my hands on the ground to support my weight while I kicked both legs out, one of which had the heel connecting with his balls. And then he fell on me doubled over in pain. I think I heard my arm snap under the sudden impact of his weight. It hurt like hell.

 

3: "Duck!" you say.

"Nah, it looks more like an ostrich egg then a duck egg." he calls out over his shoulder, completely missing the fact that you were warning him. You wince as you see the rock slam into the side of his skull, knocking him unconscious.

3: But then again, why would you warn him if you're going to be throwing something at him?

"Duck!" a guy off to the side calls out to his friend in which you threw a medium sized, oval-shaped rock at.

"Nah, it looks more like an ostrich egg then a duck egg." he called out over his shoulder, completely missing the fact that the dude was warning him. The guy off to the side winces as he sees the rock slam into the side of his friends skull, knocking him unconscious. 

"Idiot." you mutter quietly under your breath while hoisting another rock to throw at the second guy. 

 

There, that better?

So the guy saw the rock, thought it was a egg, and let it hit him?
