List your most satisfying 'smacks' or 'shots' in movies.

There's a lot of violence out there, much of it is just expected and ho hum. But every once in a while a character takes a hit who REALLY had it coming or got it right when you weren't expecting it but were glad to see it.

Examples:

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: After a long battle, Indy is threatened by a fancy knife wielder, pulls out a gun and just shoots him.

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King: Denethor, steward of Gondor - when Gondor is being attacked, in despair tells everyone to leave their posts and run for them lives - Gondor smacks him up side the head with his staff. (My niece and I just watched this tonight and I was so ready for that loon to be taken out. haha! That's what inspired this thread)

Well indy getting punched by the german body builder guy at the air plane
Indy getting smacked by the mirror on the boat

Kill bill getting the 5 point exploding heart technique done on him

Tealc getting hit in the face by the door in the episode where him and Jack kept reliving the same day.
 
Al Swearingen kicking the Pink in the sack.

Repeatedly.

Then slitting his throat.
 
Vader owning Han Solo in Empire Strikes Back in the dining room.

Kirk in Star Trek III - "I *kick* Have had *kick* Enough of *kick* YOU! *KICK*

Jaws - "Smile you son-of-a-female-dog!"

Obi-Wan Kenobi with the Lightsaber in the Cantina.

Rorschach with the hot oil in the Prison.

Best of all - Rambo III - Rambo pulls a pin on a grenade a guy is wearing, then he kicks the guy in the face. He falls down a hole with a rope around his neck and then explodes.
 
Bound -- Joey Pants getting shot into the white paint.

Also, POTC, Davy Jones finally getting his heart stabbed. Something about the music and the reveal and the way the tentacles wiggle and his eyes open wide ... packs a wallop.
 
Agree with the Indy/Swordsman...
along those same lines...when Mal shoots the operative, after the operative says he is unarmed, in Serenity.

Loved that one. The look on Gandalf's face when he whacked Denethor was absolutely perfect. Mixture of disgust and annoyance :lol

I've another one I liked in Return of the King: Aragorn decapitating the Mouth of Sauron. Another guy who really had it coming to him. No warning, just.... Mouth: "Yada, yada, yada, *sckkthhh!* ....*plop*"
 
Oh yeah, Mal Reynolds has so many of those. Best one was kicking the guy into the engine.

I busted out laughing when I first saw that scene and had to rewind it to watch it again, as it was so unexpected. Yeah, I'm twisted. :lol
 
All the fights in the movie "Hard Times" with Charles Bronson.
Bill Murray punching the Insurance Salesman in "Ground Hog Day".
And the end-all be-all fight, Roddy Piper vs Keith David in "They Live",
 
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: After a long battle, Indy is threatened by a fancy knife wielder, pulls out a gun and just shoots him.

Are you referring to the famous swordsman shooting in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK?

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King: Denethor, steward of Gondor -

That one was good, but I much preferred Aragorn lopping off the head of the Mouth of Sauron who had been trying to mind-**** our heroes.
 
Are you referring to the famous swordsman shooting in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK?

yeah :lol I guess it was so famous I didn't need to describe it so much.

The mouth of sauron's head getting lopped was equally surprising and satisfying since he was spewing lies.

It just occurred to me that this is a spoiler thread... But I think coming into it people should realize it.

Here's another I may need to describe because I don't think as many have seen it...

The Clone Wars Animation Series: Bad guy kidnaps pacifist Senator that Obi-wan cares about. When she pulls a gun on him and can't shoot, he mouths off to her and Obi-wan about how she'll be a hypocrite if she shoots and Obi-wan will lose her admiration if he strikes him down - who is going to be the 'cold blooded killer?'. Enter from behind, through his chest a lightsabor blade - Anakin.
 
In South Park: The Movie, they have Terrance and Phillip on the Conan O'Brien show along with Brooke Shields. Brooke Shields is trying to join the conversation and remarks, "I farted once on the set of Blue Lagoon."

Everybody just stops and looks at her. After a long pause, Terrance slaps her. 'Makes me laugh every time.

This isn't a movie, but involves a movie star.

Back when Third Rock from the Sun was on TV, William Shatner played 'The Big Giant head' - leader of the aliens. Anyhow, there was a scene with him and the girl who played John Lithow's secretary (can't remember her or her characters name). Anyhow, they're having an arguement and she hauls off and slaps him. After the slap, you can see a giant hand print on the side of his face. She LITERALLY hauled off and hit him. The show ran 2-3 years longer and he appeared in a number of episodes. Those 2 were never in the same shot ever again.
