Awesome / Deadpool (2016)

"I only have 12 bullets, so you're gonna have to share!"

• THE WHOLE HIGHWAY CHASE. It's amazing how much detail is shown!
  • Though the shit-stains added to the underwear of the biker Deadpool wedgies was too much.
• Deadpool shoots three guys in the head with one bullet.
  Deadpool: I'm touching myself tonight.
  • Minor moment of awesome (awesome luck, anyway): the last guy had to be dispatched by hand because the bullet lost enough energy traveling through the heads of the first two that it didn't penetrate his skull. (And DP gives a groan as he turns around, as if saying "Why don't you just die already?")
  "Really? Rolling up of the sleeves?"
  • With six bullets left, Deadpool closes the gap with a mook firing an assault rifle at him. At one point, said mook has to reload, then unleashes more bursts of gunfire, forcing Deadpool to duck for cover behind an SUV. The mook jumps up on the SUV to get a clear shot, aims at his enemy, who's in a relaxed pose on the ground, pulls the trigger...and nothing happens.
    Deadpool: Someone's not counting. [headshot] Six.
• Vanessa performs a vicious Groin Attack on the "Fat Gandalf" who gets too fresh with her. She makes that big, burly man whimper like a mischievous little dog.
• Wade breaking out of the containment pod. First, he headbutts Angel Dust to steal her match from out of her mouth and hide it in his own. Once she and Francis are gone, he spits it to one of his hands, lights it on a nail, and tosses it to one of the oxygen vents to cause an explosion. All while enduring near-suffocation.
  • The fight this results in is notably the only action scene in the film that is not Played for Laughs. It's just so awesome, the director didn't even bother with jokes or fourth wall humor. And that's saying a lot, because this is the fight scene where Wade and Francis sword-fight with fire extinguishers.
• Weasel may be the Butt-Monkey in his own bar, but even Francis and Angel back down when Angel lays a hand on Weasel and every mercenary in the place pulls a gun on them. The entire patronage of the converted-orphanage-cum-bar Saint Mary's (read: these being non-superpowered, very muscular, and very big) patrons immediately standing up with heavy artillery, willing to defend Weasel (their scrawny little bartender) against the extremely dangerous Francis and Angel, and Francis and Angel back down.
• "Time to make the chimi-fuckin'-changas!"
• Deadpool's rampage through Francis' men when he goes to rescue Vanessa is pure awesome, such as when he cuts a mook's head off and then punts it like a football into another mook's head.
• Deadpool makes good on his promise to spell out Francis's name by spelling it out with the corpses of all the mooks he's just killed. Doubles as a Crowing Moment of Funny. He even makes the 'i' lowercase, using a mook's severed head for the dot! That's dedication. Even better is that the body of the i is mooning Francis.
• Deadpool's fight against Francis shows our Comedic Sociopathic hero with dual katanas faces off against a British Villain with dual axes. The sequence is full of acrobatics and very twirly kicks.
  • A very awesome one for Deadpool when Francis throws one of his axe at him. He catches the axe, then throws it back at Francis and does a spin-kick in mid-air in the same motion. The kick connecting is enough to send Francis a few feet backward.
  • This scene is so awesome that it was nominated for "Best Fight" by MTV Movie Awards.
  • Even the pre-fight taunting is good. Deadpool snarls that Francis better hope his immunity to pain better include every single nerve, "Because I'm gonna go looking!" Francis responds with "When I'm finished, your parts will have to grow back you." Even Deadpool admits that's a good one.
  • Ajax's skills are not to be overlooked. Once the axes and blades are off, they both resort to hand-to-hand combat, and he absolutely pummels Wade, even going full Combat Pragmatist and taking out a combat knife hidden in his forearm, and disorients Wade by embedding it in his head. He could've won if it weren't for Vanessa.
• Vanessa proving she and Wade share a lot more than just being crazy by escaping from the oxygen cage, cutting through her bonds with a katana lodged into the tank, pulling the katana out from where it's lodged into the tank by gripping the blade to do so, and then using said katana to impale Francis. Badass.
• Colossus has a very cool moment where Angel Dust has him in an armbar, only for him to lift her up, and while she's still completely holding onto his arm, slam her down several times onto a mountain of scrap. Dude one-arm-powerbombed Angel Dust!
• Angel Dust fights with Colossus and doesn't just keep up with him, but seems like she could win, implying that she is either stronger than him or a better fighter than him, or maybe even both. Keep in mind that Wade tried punching and kicking Colossus earlier in the movie and badly broke both of his hands and also his leg, meaning that her super-strength is off the charts to be able to hurt him. Had Negasonic Teenage Warhead never intervened, Colossus could have been killed by her.
• Anyone flooring Colossus should be given props, but Negasonic Teenage Warhead sending that person, Angel Dust, flying, should be given more. True, she knocks herself out with the stunt, but she still manages to total an aircraft carrier with a single charge.
  • Colossus also deserves props for surviving her letting a nuke off in his face, and still being capable of carrying her and Angel Dust to safety.
    • Given how Colossus seems fine after the battle, it's possible that he actually is stronger than Angel Dust, but his compassion puts him at a disadvantage against a Combat Pragmatist.
• Negasonic Teenage Warhead crawls under a piece of scrap metal, yells at Deadpool to climb on top of it, then explodes while standing still, blasting it about a hundred feet into the air to fling Deadpool onto the flight deck of an aircraft carrier.
• When he finally has Francis at the end of the fight, and Deadpool has only one gun left: the puny little Derringer Blind Al gave him. Just as he's about to finish him off:
  Francis: [spitefully] What's my name?
  Deadpool: [cocks the gun, darkly] Who fuckin' cares?
  • Finish him off he does; Colossus tries to talk him out of with a speech about heroism, but Deadpool isn't having any of it, and just shoots the prick in the head.
  • Colossus's speech is pretty awesome itself, even if Deadpool completely ignores him.
