** Kristian Harloff has received some mixed opinions on YouTube, but he received a lot of acclaim when he hosted the Screen Junkies vs. CinemaSins for his very impartial judging style, with Andy commending his work.

* WomenAreWiser: This probably isn't intentional, but the women fighters appeared on the show are usually the one that doesn't lose her temper or usually focus on more classical movies as opposes to the other male fighters on popular media. This is blatant with episodes that have mix gender fights and feature Amy Nicholson, Alicia Malone, Erin Robinson, Miri Jedeikin, Amirose Eisenberg, Kara Warner and Jen Yamato but averts with Trisha Hershberger, [=ComicBookGirl19=], Tiffany Smith, Chloe Dykstra, Roxy Striar, Clarke Wolfe, Maude Garrett (who are just as focus on popular media as the men), [[SoreLoser Alison Haislip]], [[StrawFeminist Kim Horcher]] (who have attitudes similar to the male fighter), Drunk!Alicia and Roth Cornet (who have both traits). TropesAreNotBad though, as Alicia and Amy are the most popular female fighters on the show while [[TheScrappy Kim and Allison]] are received poorly by the fans.

* WhatTheHellHero: In the Screen Junkies' battle against the Schmoes, Hal kept on interrupting their opponents to the point that Dan had to reprimand him to let the other team finish speaking.

*** Dan Murrell, Maude Garrett, and Matt Lieberman have also done this on TV Fights, respectively finishing with scores of 6-2-1, 5-1-1, an 5-2-1.

* OlderThanTheyLook: As discussed by Roger, Jesse Eisenberg looks like a teenager despite being 31, hence why he wouldn't make a suitable Lex Luthor.
** Ironically enough, the 39-year old Roger is this trope, considering he could pass for soneone in his 20s.

** When Andy asked Brett and Hal to pick the best movie with the word "Versus" in the title in one of the Speed Rounds, Brett picked ''Film/BallisticEcksVsSever'', while Hal picked ''Film/AlienVsPredator''. The two then proceeded to argue why their movies were ''worse'', until Andy clarified that they were supposed to argue why theirs are the ''best''. They are forced to disregard all their previous arguments and somehow argue for the opposite point in just 5 seconds.
** Brett did this twice. After spending a whole round arguing why ''Hudson Hawks'' is a good movie despite its poor reception, he then attempted to argue that it's the ''worst'' movie starring Creator/BruceWillis. He didn't win the second argument, obviously.

*** Subverted in TV Fights episode 17: Roth Cornet was beating Spencer going into the Speed Round 4-1 and wound up losing to him 6-5. And if Roxy had not overturned votes for Spencer by Ken Napzok and David Griffin, Roth would have been swept in the Speed Round, losing 6-4.

*** In episode 23, Alicia was tied with Kristian 3-3 going into the Speed Round and wound up winning 6-3-2 becoming the first fighter to both sweep a Speed Round and be swept in one.

*** In episode 26, Dan went in with a 3-2-2 lead and won 6-2-2 against Spencer (who missed each Speed Round point) and Nick.

*** In episode 58, Spencer went in tied with Dan 2-2-2 (Chris Stuckman was eliminated in a tie-breaker), but wound up losing to Dan 5-2 and becoming the first fighter to be swept in three different Speed Rounds (while still the only one to even be swept in two).

*** In episode 43, Spencer went in behind Brett 3-2, but wound up winning 6-3-2.
*** In episode 47, Spencer went in with a 3-2-1 lead, but wound up losing to Max Landis 6-3 becoming the first fighter to be swept in two different Speed Rounds

*** In episode 23, Alicia was tied with Kristian 3-3 going into the Speed Round and wound up winning 6-3-2.

*** In episodes 93 and 94, surprisingly, [[spoiler:Dan]] was swept in the Speed Round for both his first ''and'' second times ''on the same day'' (July 22, 2016) respectively by [[spoiler:Hal]] and Brannon Braga at San Diego Comic Con. He went in respectively winning 3-1 and tied 2-2 and lost 4-3 and 4-2, losing a total of five Speed Round questions. After the first sweep, he became the only fighter to both sweep a Speed Round (actually three of them) and be swept in one.
*** In episode 98, Alicia Malone was beating Coy Jandreau and Brett Erlich 3-1-1 going into the Speed Round and won 5-1-1, becoming the second fighter (after Dan) to sweep two Speed Rounds. She and Coy simultaneously became the second and third (again after Dan) to both sweep a Speed Round (actually two in Alicia's case) and be swept in one.

*** In episode 47, Spencer went in with a 3-2-1 lead, but wound up losing to Max Landis 6-3.
*** In episode 58, Spencer went in tied with Dan 2-2-2 (Chris Stuckman was eliminated in a tie-breaker), but wound up losing to Dan 5-2.

*** In episodes 93 and 94, surprisingly, [[spoiler:Dan]] was swept in the Speed Round for both his first ''and'' second times ''on the same day'' (July 22, 2016) respectively by [[spoiler:Hal]] and Brannon Braga at San Diego Comic Con. He went in respectively winning 3-1 and tied 2-2 and lost 4-3 and 4-2, losing a total of five Speed Round questions.

** Alicia Malone is the most appeared female fighter on Movie Fights after extremely positive fan reaction in the episodes she appeared in, to the point that she was picked to join the crew at San Diego Comic Con 2015 episode, the Last Fighter Standing round and hosted in place of Andy ''fourth'' for total of more than a dozen fights and 4 host episodes. Not to mention that she [[spoiler:was among the people (including Dan, Ken and Spencer) that was jokingly asked by Andy to help him found Screen Junkies channel in the New Year Eve 1999 episode]].

* VitriolicBestBuds: 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.

* ThrowTheDogABone: Hal finally winning his first movie fight against Jason and Trisha after a very long string of losses. Even Andy could not believe the result at first.

** Discussed in the second Speed Round of Episode 47, where Max argued for ''Film/TheMummy 3'' and said that it's so bad, it's actually amazing and that something as amusingly incoherent like it would be a more worthwhile watch than the SoOkayItsAverage ''Film/JurassicPark3''.

*** In episode 48, Spencer went in with a 3-2-1 lead, but wound up losing to Max Landis 6-3.

*** In episodes 93 and 94, Dan was swept in the Speed Round for both his first AND second times ON THE SAME DAY (July 22, 2016) respectively by Hal and Brannon Braga at San Diego Comic Con. He went in respectively winning 3-1 and tied 2-2 and lost 4-3 and 4-2.
