Not the best fight scene but definitely the inspiration.

Hmm I'm not seeing the connection except for the fact that it is 1 vs. many. The fight scene from Old Boy (Hammer Time!) is much better if you ask me, especially cinematographicaly (is that a word?).
The differences that I see: well, part of the cool thing about the Oldboy scene was that it took place in a corridor -- and he basically worked his way down it, where in this clip, it is outdoors and the hero is attacked from 360 degrees. Also, in the clip you linked, the hero is obviously skilled in kicking and used the typical martial arts movie fighting techniques, whereas in Oldboy, he went nuts with a hammer and then his fists, and it was more of a brawl type fight that showed his toughness and scrapiness rather than martial technique.
My favorite parts of the Oldboy scene: the fact that he spends half of the fight with a knife stuck in his back, and the scene at the end where the elevator opens, a batch of new guys peer out and see Oldboy and the wake of his carnage. They look dumbstruck, and it cuts to a closeup of Oldboy first looking dazed, and then a maniacal grin appears on his face. Finally, you see the elevator opening, and several limp bodies come spilling out, along with Oldboy himself -- very cool piece of filmmaking.

To take this topic a little bit further, I've always loved the 1 vs. many fight scenes -- obviously in many old Shaw Brothers you would see the heroes fighting off throngs of Manchu soldiers. All of the martial arts stars each had a big scene like this at some point as well, such as:
Bruce Lee taking on the Japanese school in Chinese Connection
Jet Li's version of that scene in Fist of Legend
Jackie Chan vs. the Axe Gang in Drunken Master
Stephen Chow at the end of Kung Fu Hustle (very comical)
Neo vs. a plethora of Mr. Smiths in the 2nd Matrix movie (too much CGI)
I think Tony Jaa has upped the ante and topped them all with the joint breaking scene in The Protector -- that scene still makes me wince -- and the sound effects were particularly wicked and just added to the brutality, much like the sounds of the baseball bats did in the scene in Casino where Joe Pesci and his brother got whacked.
What's your favorite 1 vs. many scene?

Jet versus the cops in Kiss of the Dragon. Not so much for the fight itself, but for the way he walks in, looks at all of them, and then just accepts the fact that he's gotta fight 'em.
Many roads. One path.
Many styles. One art.
Many lineages. One practioner.

Greetings,
I never saw that clip before. What I liked about it was that the actor knows how to throw a spinning hook kick. That kick has been taught incorrectly in this country for over 25 years.
I have never seen Old Boy. Sounds very interesting.

Where the guy fights everyone in that narrow hallway, with the elevator at the end?
There's that torture scene with the hammer and the teeth?
I hope that's not too obscure, but I'm rackin' my brain...
Thanks in advance
