Best fight scene of ever
Bunnyman:
Yes it was. The first ten times.
The 'bully brawl' (for lack of a more depreciating nomenclature) was absolute silliness. I think the bowling-pin sound about 2/3rds of the way though did it for me. And the fact that it accomplished nothing was pretty impressive from a screenwriting standpoint.
Tergon:
And don't forget the "Well? Now what?" expressions on the Smiths' faces after Neo flew off. Just looking around, shrugging, wondering what to do next. Seriously. All it needed was for one Smith to shout "After-Brawl party at my place!" and it would've been perfect.
I think the reason for it being in the film was to establish that Smith has gained new and frightening powers (and sound effects). I don't care about WHY it was there, though - it's hilarious enough that it was. I think Legendary Frog's Spoof says it best - the perfect parody.
Mikintosh:
Oh please, when the Green Ranger kicks the other Rangers' asses on Power Rangers and I'm not hearing any different.
Schmendrick:
In the first Indiana Jones when Jones is having a sword fight with this guy. And before they start fighting this guy is swinging his sword all over the place and doing these crazy moves and Indiana Jones pulls out his gun and casually shoots the guy.
Tergon:
--- Quote from: Spinless ---The really awesome Jason vs Tommy where Tommy nearly kills jason was cool.
And the one where Tommy nearly gets killed by Goldar. Dammit, Goldar had too few moments where he was truly badass. When he nearly killed Jason was awesome. If I could re-write the power rangers timeline, I'd take out all the silly voices and mindless optimism, remove the nice lessons on morality and keep the humour repressed and non-stupid, and make the bad guys genuinely scary. For kids at least...

Eh, that was always the option faced by Power Rangers. They could've gone the more serious road and made the baddies and goodies more badass, or they could've made it more slapstick and optimistic. They took the latter route, is all.
What confused me was that the baddies always knew who the Rangers were. So why didn't they just assassinate 'em? Send in Goldar, after making him grow, and have him step on 'em. Or maybe send more than one monster at once, which would have completely screwed the rangers. Likewise, if the Rangers had just used the big robot from the first encounter with whatever monster they had to face - PROBLEM SOLVED!
