#5: The Viper vs The Mountain – Game of Thrones In its 4th season, of Game of Thrones introduced us to the charismatic, savvy, and sexy Oberyn Martell (aka “The Viper”) in a breakout performance by Mandalorian and Narcos star, Pedro Pascal. At the same time, we get the return of Gregor Clegane (aka “The Mountain”), played this time by Iclandic bodybuilder demigod Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, who at the time held the record of world’s strongest man. Everything was lining up well with this fight scene, with a small agile man with a poisoned spear against a massive hulk with

Top Movie Duels
#5: Spino vs Rex – Jurassic Park 3 I consider Animal fights to be fair game, so let’s start strong with our biological diversity pick: A grossly anatomically incorrect Spinosaurus and a near-equally mutated Tyrannosaurus Rex! The reason I have put this one on my list was because this scene shocked movie and Jurassic Park fans when it came out. For the previous century, moviegoers believed the T-Rex was the ultimate predator producible by nature. Now there are we know there are other carnivorous dinosaurs that were even bigger and scarier than T-Rex. #4 Batman vs Bane – The Dark
The Worst Game of Thrones Episode
It’s been over two years now, and it’s fairly modest to say people have had strong feelings about Game of Thrones’ ending. With HBO’s peddling spin-offs on the horizon and 10th-anniversary box sets in the present, I believe it is time to reflect honestly on this show. In our “worst” category, not all the episodes are necessarily “bad” all the way through. Even some of the worst episodes have good scenes that are simply undermined by some terrible moments and miserable writing decisions. #9: Sons of the Harpy [s5e4] – The Unceremonious Kill-Off It’s important to emphasize that there were
Worst “Epic” Battle Sequences in Film
#5: Rome, Season 2 – Make History, Not War Rome was one of HBO’s earlier attempts at high-production television – later paving the way for Game of Thrones and the “Golden Days of Television” as we know it today. However, with all science comes failure, and the unfortunate victims of their growing pains were the “action” scenes of their historical drama – as most of the budget is blown on the (exquisite) costumes and sets. While it was great to see a faithful depiction of Rome during Caesar’s rise, fall, and succession, we are also repeatedly built up to epic
Red Dead Redemption 2 – The Live-Action Miniseries
Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best games that I have ever played. from it’s attention to detail to its unforgettable characters, RDR2 shows that video games can have the same level of cinematic quality of a movie.
Best Epic Battle Sequences in Film
Here is my 1st list of battle sequences caught in film. As usual, I have based these purely on personal preference, but with some care given to on characters, tactics and how well they are filmed. #5: The Chronicles of Narnia – The Lion the Witch, and the Wardrobe What struck me about this battle is that there are so many creatures both real and fantasy battling it out. We see cheetahs attacking werewolves, centaur’s clashing with minotaur’s, even a gorilla throwing a dwarf off a cliff. It also has one of my favorite battle charges ever. I also love
“The Room Where it Happened”: An American Horror Story
First, let’s clarify what this movie is NOT. Our silly proposal is not to write an Oscar bait drama like The Comey Rule, or be taken seriously whatsoever. Instead, envision a “black comedy” more akin to Death of Stalin and Vice (we’ve even found some actors from these films that fit our roles perfectly). It is important to note that we’re not looking for actors who look 100% like their real counterparts – since we care more about their ability to pull off both comedy and drama. Obviously, the more cartoon-y characters we’ve met over the years will call for
