Battle of Movie Moments: Church Fight vs. Be Prepared

Your Champion

Church Fight (Kingsman: The Secret Service)

VS

Be Prepared (The Lion King)

The Case for Church Fight (2):

Sometimes a movie shocks you with violence, and sometimes it does it with an amazingly choreographed fight scene.  Kingsman combines the two for a brutal moment in a church where the villain causes everyone to go into a rage and start attacking each other.  Highly trained Kingsman Harry Hart is also there and adds to the carnage.

The Case for Be Prepared:

Continuing a tradition of the villain having one of the best songs in the movie, The Lion King gives Scar one of the better villain songs in the canon.  The song is beautifully animated, using sickly greens to emphasize the sliminess of the villain while also using a Nazi-type march with the hyenas to show just how bad of news they were.  All villain songs should be this good.

The Case for Church Fight (1):

The Case for An Inappropriate Car Commercial:

Southland Tales was a mess of a movie, but it did have one inspired moment when, out of the blue, this ad for Saltair appears.  If the commercial itself doesn't amuse you, then the reactions from John Larroquette and Mandy Moore immediately afterwards should.

Battle of Movie Moments: Church Fight vs. Clever Girl

We are relaunching the Battle of Movie Moments!  Each day, two scenes from various movies will be pitted against each other where you pick which one is the best.  This is based off of King of Disparate TV Mountain from Previously.tv, and the rules are the same:

1)  Vote for the one you think is the best
2)  The winner moves on until they are defeated, or reach 10 wins
3)  I will take user submissions via my email bommsubmissions@yahoo.com.  Submissions must include a brief argument for the clip, a link to a YouTube video with the clip, and the name you want attributed to the entry.

For the first matchup, we're going to use two from our earlier attempt that didn't face each other.  So without further ado....

Church Fight (Kingsman: The Secret Service)

Clever Girl (Jurassic Park)

The Cast for Church Fight:

Sometimes a movie shocks you with violence, and sometimes it does it with an amazingly choreographed fight scene.  Kingsman combines the two for a brutal moment in a church where the villain causes everyone to go into a rage and start attacking each other.  Highly trained Kingsman Harry Hart is also there and adds to the carnage.

The Case for Clever Girl:

Muldoon presents himself as the ultimate hunter throughout the run of Jurassic Park.  When the velociraptors get out, he bravely tried to hunt them down, only to be tricked - leading to this iconic line.

Battle of Movie Moments

Previously TV has a wonderful feature called King of Disparate TV Things Mountain where random props, moments, etc. from various TV shows battle it out.  The winner of that day's voting faces a new challenger each day until it loses, or until it hits 10 wins and is retired.  I've decided to do something similar, only with movie moments,  While mine will not be daily (we're going with a weekly theme here), it will follow the 'winner stays until defeated/10 wins' aspect, as well as allowing user submissions.

For our inaugural vote, we have..

Church Fight (Kingsman: The Secret Service)

VS

Alma's Discovery (Brokeback Mountain)

The Case for Church Fight:

Sometimes a movie shocks you with violence, and sometimes it does it with an amazingly choreographed fight scene.  Kingsman combines the two for a brutal moment in a church where the villain causes everyone to go into a rage and start attacking each other.  Highly trained Kingsman Harry Hart is also there and adds to the carnage.

The Case for Alma's Discovery:

Brokeback Mountain is filled with several quiet, seminal scenes.  While "I wish I knew how to quit you" became the film's most iconic, the scene where Alma discover her husband's secret is a powerful moment.  Her slow walk away from the door into the kitchen is acting perfection, heartbreaking and terrifying at the same time.
