From Raiders:
The Pat Roach fight. I love how Indy rolls his eyes and sighs as he sees Pat coming up to him. The whole fight seemed like a real fight. No super kicks, and flipping, just gritty, tooth-and-nail fighting
--
In Temple:
Again, another fight with Pat Roach as the giat Thugee. Indy gets beat pretty bad here, and again the fight is gritty.
--
In Crusade:
The fight on the tank. The fight is more overblown than the others, but it is my favorite of the bunch.
Raiders - The Truck Chase. Old-school stunt work at its finest.
Temple - The Club Obi-Wan escape. What a crazy way to open a movie, eh? I had no idea where this movie was gonna take me, and it set the tone for the biggest thrill ride of the series.
Last Crusade - The Tank Fight. My favorite set piece in the series. Its just a lot of fun from beginning to end, and a really touching moment at the end too.
Raiders: I love the Pat Roach fight too, but I have to go with the truck chase. It's classic Indy: outnumbered, catches up to the truck on a horse, takes out one guy after another, then gets the crap beaten out of him and gets dragged behind the truck, and then comes back and pounds another guy to come out on top. It's just incredible.
Temple: I think I prefer the rope bridge scene and the end fight with Mola Ram, although I also have to admit (and I know I'm opening myself up to abuse here) that I really like the scene where they jump out of the plane with the raft.
Last Crusade: The assault on the tank is one of my favorite scenes from any movie, ever, so it's gotta be my pick here too.
srry i dint clarify where they jump from the plane in a raft, probably not an action scene, but aside from indy, i dont watch anyother movies like that
Again sorry for the miscommunication Attila the Professor
My favorite fight scene from Raiders would definately be the Cairo fight - Indy kicks a** Indy-style, and uses his whip at the end of the fight...then of course the chase and the infamous shooting-the-swordsman..the music, the fight, everything is perfect!

Not trying to jack this thread, but every fight scene with Indy is good. Watching Indy get beat up is my favorite quadrilogy consistency. If an IJ flick were made in which Indy was uninjured, I believe that everyone would hate it. My favorite is the entire german mechanic sequence from raiders. The best hit Indy ever took, though, was from Marion (at the raven). You could practically see sparks fly off his chin!! As for the other flicks, I really couldn't tell you my preference.

I was concerned that, since we live in more PC times and since Ford is now in his 60s, that Indy would get less beaten up in this one. But Dovchenko gives him two good beatings!
the truck chase in RAIDERS is the best, though admitedly DOOM's converyer belt fight rules and the tank scene in TLC is great and the jungle chase in KOTCS rules above the actio in TLC and TOD imo
Favorite fight scene from Raiders
