There are a few things that every fight scene needs, some people are fine with the mindless aggression that goes on in a fight scene in a movie. Two people are going at it and you have probably picked a side, but what is missing may be a key point in the story. The two people have to be fighting for something. You also need variety, change it up with kicks and punches instead of the same repetitive movements all the time, and make one of them the winner, give someone the power.

- Making your fight scenes unique and different can help can your audience eyes. Star Wars is a great example as they use light sabers in their fights.
- During a fight scene there should always be a power struggle between the good characters and the bad to build drama.
