13) Rocky IV (!985)
Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren wanted their fight scenes to be as real as possible. At one time, he made Lundgren punch him in the chest for real. Lundgren punched, but the blow became so strong that it strained Stallone's heart, admitting him to the ICU for several days. The scene looks appallingly realistic, but what happened with his chest was more dramatic than anybody might think.
This level of dedication to realism made the fight scenes in the movie so vivid and dramatic, which is why the movie Rocky IV has remained one of the all-time classic sports movies for as long as anybody can remember.
