* SpecialGuest: The show would frequently bring in various internet reviewers that fans have requested, such as Jeremy Jahn, Chris Stuckmann, and even Creator/DougWalker.

* BrokenStreak: Dan's winning streak finally comes to an end during the [[spoiler:"Does ''Film/JurassicWorld'' suck?" episode]]. He's still the champion, since the round wasn't a Title bout, but he's no longer the ''undefeated'' champion.

* CatchPhrase: At the end of almost every round, Andy would say, "This is tough," regarding his difficulty in picking a winner because everyone gave good arguments. He then jokingly says it's becoming his new catch phrase.

--> '''Kristian:''' You know what? For today, Jeremy, let's put a little bit a of truce here, and just like the old school wrestling: "Let's make the Mega Power, brother!"\\
''(Jeremy and Kristian unites)''
--> '''Andy:''' ''WHAT?!''\\
''(Chaos ensues)''
--> '''Dan:''' This just changed the entire tone of today's Movie Fight.
** To reiterate, the episode's format was meant to have Jeremy, who was the guest star of the episode, fight by himself, while the other two gladiators would rotate after fighting two rounds each.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: During the vs. Schmoes Knows fight, Dan complains how difficult it is to argue alongside Hal and Nick, because they keep jumping the gun and yelling out their arguments before he could present his own points.

* {{Badass}}: Movie Fights champion Dan Murrell has participated in 8 fights (ten, if you count the crossovers) and has yet to suffer a single defeat. [[spoiler:And that streak even extends to fans he coaches.]]

* CatchPhrase: At the end of almost every round, Andy would say, "This is tough," because everyone has made good arguments, and it is hard to unbiasedly pick a winner. He jokingly says it's becoming his new catch phrase.

* TheDreaded: Any episode with Dan Murrell. [[CurbStompBattle He has eight victories with no losses or ties]], [[spoiler:and that streak even extends to fans he coaches.]]

* NeverLiveItDown: In-Universe. Hal once blundered badly in a tie-breaker Speed Round (calling the same answer Tiffany had clearly called out first, after a considerably long pause). For the next few movie fights, Andy would jokingly warn the panelists to not "pull a Hal Rudnick" before starting the Speed Rounds, at least until they changed the rules.

** To reiterate, the episode's format was meant to have Jeremy fight by himself, while the other two gladiators would fight two rounds each, before rotating the panels.

* EveryoneHasStandards: When trying to sort out the chaotic debate that spawned from the question, "Which Superhero would win in the hunger games?", Andy proposed a hypothetical situation about how the battle would play out to base his final decision in, and asked Dan for opinions. Dan remarked that this is one of the nerdiest conversation he's ever heard. In a show whose entire purpose is for movie nerds arguing about nerdy movie topics.
* HamToHamCombat: Most of the fight rounds in the Schmoes Knows vs. Screen Junkies episode would, at some point, degenerate into a chaotic yell fest between Nick, Hal and Kristian. It becomes so messy that even Kristian himself lost track on what he was arguing about in the rounds.

** Nick & Roger. Just mention ''Film/{{Interstellar}}'' or ''Film/TheFastAndTheFurious'' around the both of them and kick back.

* MeleeATrois: With a few exceptions, the debate always feature a three-way fight between the "gladiators". Even when the fight is a yes or no question, the answers are judged separately, unless the two fighters explicitly forms a team up.

* RedOniBlueOni: In the ''Screen Junkies'' battle against ''Cinema Sins'', the HotBlooded Andy Signore was paired with Dan Murrell, who is the less combative of the two and did not speak as much throughout the debate, as a result.

* DevilsAdvocate: The "Devil's Advocate" card is a feature where, if all three panelists have the same opinion, one of them is given the option to fight for the opposing viewpoint for the chance to win double points. An example of this card being used during in the, "Does''Film/TheHungerGames'' movies sucks?" where everyone says "no", but Spencer decided to go for the two-point opportunity to argue that, yes, ''The Hunger Games'' does suck.

* HiddenDepths: Despite being a LargeHam with a tendency to go overboard with crazy suggestion, Nick is surprisingly good at being the judge.
--> '''Roger:''' You wanna know something? The ''Film/FantasticFour2015'' trailer might not turn me around, but you just turned me around about you hosting.

* SitcomArchnemesis: Roger and Nick are always on each others throat, and during the ''"Best Ian [=McKellen=] Movie"'' episode, they were aready brawling before the show even begins.

* VitrolicBestBuds: Most of the gladiators are technically buddies, but given that the show is about Movie Fights, and not Movie ''Friends'', they won't mind verbally attacking each other to win the point.

* AwardSnub: [[Invoked]] One of the fight topics in the 2015 title bout: Who got the worst snubs in 2015? Jason picked Creator/JakeGyllenhaal for "Best Actor", Mark pitched ''Film/TheLegoMovie" for "Best Animated Feature", while Dan thinks Ava [=DuVernay=] should have won "Best Director".

* EvenBetterSequel: [[Invoked]] Discussed in one of the Fan Fights battle. ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', ''Film/{{Aliens}} 2'' and ''Film/TheRaid 2'' were picked as those movies whose sequel is much better received than the first.

* ToughActToFollow: [[Invoked]] In the ''"Who should be the next Wolverine?"'' fight, one panelist, Brian, answered that there should ''not'' be any Wolverine featured in the future ''Film/XMen'' series because Creator/HughJackman is so iconic for the role that Wolverine should either be him or none at all. Despite it being called "the cheaty answer" by Andy, his argument was considered the best of all, and he won the point.
