Battle of Movie Moments: Opera Battle vs. Ridiculous Revenge

Your Champion
Opera Battle (The Fifth Element)

VS

Your Challenger
Ridiculous Revenge (The Emperor's New Groove)

The Case for Opera Battle (7):
Because sometimes the only appropriate battle music is opera.

The Case for Ridiculous Revenge:
This bit from The Emperor's New Groove is Yzma at her finest:  Long, convoluted revenge followed by pragmatic approach, all the while beautifully delivered by Eartha Kitt.  Paired with a unique bit of animation, the sequence is one of the more hilarious parts of the movie.

Battle of Movie Moments: Opera Battle vs. Make Me a Woman

Your Champion
Opera Battle (The Fifth Element)

VS

Your Challenger
Make Me a Woman (Mrs. Doubtfire)

The Case for Opera Battle (5):
Because sometimes the only appropriate battle music is opera.

The Case for Make Me a Woman:
Roger Ebert once said the true sign of a lazy Robin Williams movie was putting him in front of a mirror and having him do his voices.  Mrs. Doubtfire has this happen twice, but can one really argue with this moment, where he and his brother (played by Harvey Fierstein) work together to create a face for him to wear?

Because sometimes the only appropriate battle music is opera.


The Case for Up There: If you are going to be in a movie as terrible as Troll 2, the best you can hope for is to become a meme, as this actor did with what can only be described as one of the best line deliveries ever.

Your Champion
Opera Battle (The Fifth Element)

VS

Your Challenger
Up There (South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut)
 
The Case for Opera Battle (1):
Because sometimes the only appropriate battle music is opera.


The Case for Up There:
If there is one constant in the musicals of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, it is that the villain will get a heartfelt song full of want and loneliness.  And in South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, Satan gets this soaring number about how he wants to go 'Up There' to rule Earth.

Battle of Movie Moments: Opening of Scream vs. Opera Battle

Your Champion
Opening of Scream (Scream)

VS

Your Challenger
Opera Battle (The Fifth Element)

The Case for Opening of Scream (4):
Few movies have so effortlessly revitalized an entire genre the way Scream did back in 1996, and a major factor in that success was the opening of the film:  The now-iconic question 'What's your favorite scary movie?' followed by the brutal murder of the (at the time) biggest star in the film - Drew Barrymore.  By the time Casey's mother walked out the door, moviegoers knew they were in for a treat - one of the best slasher films ever made.
 
The Case for Opera Battle:
Because sometimes the only appropriate battle music is opera.

Which do you pick?
Opening of Scream
Opera Battle
