Fight scene

I'm in a stage combat class and for the second half of the semester we have to prepare a scene with a fight in it. I've been trying to find some suitable scenes but none of the plays and few of the movies I'm familiar with have suitable scenes (we can do scenes from plays or films). Ideally there's some kind of build-up through dialogue that either results in a fight between two male characters or could conceivably result in a fight, even if the original script didn't call for one. We're allowed to tweak it a bit, like if there are weapons involved (we're doing unarmed only) or extra characters that aren't important to the scene. Can anyone think of a good scene that might meet these guidelines? Obscure is better; Darth Vader vs Luke is a bit hard to pull off.

Thanks for the suggestions, keep them coming!
when the owner of the bar comes down to the basement and tyler lets himself get beat up
I was going to suggest when the Narrator beats the shit out of Angel.
Still one of my fave fight scenes in any movie. I smile every time I think about it. lol
Dammit, that's what I was going to say.
First thing that popped into my head after I read the OP.
That's a great scene.

You could try doing the fight at the end of On the Waterfront.
Or, let's see... there's a cool fight near the end of True West (kinda obscure, I guess- it's by Sam Shepard) where the only weapon used is a telephone.
Heh. You could always do the fight between Ralph and Scut Farkus from A Christmas Story.
Oh, God, I love you!
Jesus you guys are missing the biggest point
"I want you to hit me as hard as you can"
because the film really did not elaborate on the fight itself it leaves a lot of room to do some improv, just make sure you two are suitting on a crub with a bottle of jack at the end.
The fight between Bond and the badguy (whose name I don't know) in the bathroom at the beginning of Casino Royale was pretty good, plus one of you would get to drown in a sink.
I think the Fight Club ideas above are great (that's what I first thought of).
There's a good fight between two highschool kids in A History of Violence.
If you could get more than two people you could potentially do a scene from Oldboy, which is a Korean movie. The scene I'm thinking of has the hero fighting ~15 people in a hallway. All of the badguys are unarmed, and the hero has a hammer. It looks very painful.
Another good one would be the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid scene where the gang tries to mutiny. If i recall, that ends up being a pretty quick fight, but you can play with that a bit.
Both of those are pretty one sided fights.
If you want something more equal or befitting eastern martial arts, I'd recommend the school fight (or any other) in Jet Li's Fist of Legend.
Passion of the christ - jesus vs satan.
Shindlers list - nazis!
It's a wonderful life - George vs Clarence. "i'll ring your bell so many times every angel will have two sets of wings!"
Gone with the wind - "frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" "THEN FACE MY TIGER STYLE!"
I would also vote for this idea as I had the same.
They Live.
edit: damn.
anyway, watch that Conan bit "Showdown at Chichi's"
Hilarious stage fighting.
