For this list, we’re taking a look at movie battles that probably would’ve been pretty impressive in their own right, but with the introduction of some heavy precipitation, they become amazing.

#10: Making a Splash “A Man Called Hero” (1999)
Top 10 Movies That Are Only Good For Making You Cry
Usually, when humans are harnessing the power of the elements, it comes by way of windmills or dams. But water bending in a sword fight comes in super-handy as well. When these two martial arts masters set out for a battle of skill, the rain becomes not a hindrance but another one of their weapons. And as a weapon, it’s got edges sharp enough to cut a man’s bells off.
#9: Rumble in the Rain “The Outsiders” (1983)
Back in the day, street brawls weren’t all choreography and hair pomade. Well, maybe a little hair pomade. But sometimes, there were switchblades and car fires involved. The rumble between the Greasers and the Socs (“soashes”) was a long time in the making, but somebody had to die to drive them to the point of all-out war. But, everyone knows it’s not really a fight until Tom Cruise gets in on the action.
#8: Maelstrom Marathon “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” (2007)
Supernatural crews, nefarious pirates and finicky sea goddesses are pretty much a recipe for an epic battle on the high seas. Especially when one of those pirates happens to be Captain Jack Sparrow, whom a lot of people have seemed to want dead at one point or another. With Calypso’s maelstrom providing a dangerous storm as a backdrop, Sparrow goes sword-to-sword with tentacle-faced Davy Jones in a swashbuckling showdown.
#7: Showers & Snipers “Saving Private Ryan” (1998)
When you’re on a special mission to save the last of four brothers all killed in action during the height of World War II, things might get a little hairy. A crew of seven men set out to track down Matt Damon’s character while also struggling to stay alive themselves. After they are besieged by a deadly accurate German sniper in the rain, the mission becomes a simple matter of survival.
#6: Turning a Blind Eye “Zatoichi” (2003) (zah-TOH-ichi)
Top 10 Most Relatable Turning Red Moments
Just because you can’t use your eyes doesn’t mean you can’t kick some major tail. At least, that’s the take-away from the Zatoichi films. This blind swordsman isn’t your average hero, and with his other senses heightened, he’s oftentimes at a unique advantage. So when he’s set upon by a group of assailants in the rain, he makes short work of them in an extraordinarily brutal fashion. Pretty much business as usual.
#5: Rain & Robots & Aliens - Oh My! “Pacific Rim” (2013)
The fate of all mankind rests in the success of a group of jaegers; colossal manned robots tasked with combating and defeating invading space monsters. For the most part, mankind was kind of losing, especially since the kaiju seemed to have an extraterrestrial advantage. So when two kaijus show up in Hong Kong harbor, two of the four remaining jaegers go head to toe to tail with the deadly aliens in rain-soaked combat.
#4: Jedi vs. Jetpack “Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones” (2002)
Top 5 Things Star Wars: The Last Jedi Got Right
When you’re a lone Jedi up against a skilled bounty hunter with a jet pack, you know you have a little bit of a fight ahead of you. And when that fight’s taking place in the rain, and the bounty hunter’s young son is along for the ride, expect to almost die a couple of times. How they didn’t end up sliding off of that slippery metal surface and off into oblivion, we’ll never know. Oh wait…
#3: It Ends Tonight “The Matrix Revolutions” (2003)
Top 10 Human vs Robot Fights in Movies
By the third and final installment of the series, Agent Smith has finally had it with Neo’s crap. In fact, it seems that Smith has reached the limits of his computer-generated sanity. He manifests an environment of his making for the final battle with his arch-nemesis, complete with unyielding rain and Smiths as far as the eye can see. He may be a machine, but he certainly knows how to dial up the drama.
#2: The Battle of Helm’s Deep “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” (2002)
Top 10 The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Moments
There’s no shortage of final showdowns in this series, and the Battle of Helm’s Deep is really no different. While Frodo, Samwise and Gollum are trekking their way to Mordor to handle that ring situation, Aragon and his army prepare themselves for an onslaught by the Uruk-hai. It seems only fitting that thunder and rain would mark the start of a battle for the future of Helm’s Deep, as well as all of Middle Earth. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions: - Marvel-ous Mudwrestling “Thor” (2011) - Finally, Some Excitement! “TMNT” (2007) - Bikini Bust-up “DOA: Dead or Alive” (2006) - Predators & Precipitation “Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem” (2007)
#1: Weapons, Wetness & Wicked Warfare “Seven Samurai” (1954)
Top 10 Movie Kills Without Weapons
Arguably one of the best battle scenes in movie history, this is the rain fight that started them all. After a small village commissions the aid of seven samurai to help defend them against marauders, the film’s climax sees a final showdown between the two sides. It’s a powerful scene that helped cement Akira Kurosawa in cinematic history. Not to mention, samurai battles in the rain are pretty much always cool. Do you agree with our list?
