Ledge Fighters is a Web Original short on YouTube.You know how in a Fight Scene in a movie, there's always at least one Railing Kill? Well, the entire video is this. It is very awesome.It can be seen here.
This video contains examples of:
Axe Crazy: Most of the characters apparently. The protagonist ends up attacking innocent bystanders, including a woman with a pram.
Cool Shades: One of the few bad guys to get more than 0.84 seconds to live wore these.
The characters are nearly all Knife Nuts in this one, but the first guy who tries it goes the way of the swordsman in Indiana Jones.
Then the next two guys who mess about with a staff and a mace quickly get shown the ledge two.
The fact that Cool Shades, the first of the three to try this, gets shot with a gunmin the classic style Railing Kill while everybody else in the video gets simply chucked over suggests that it was a Inspiration Nod for the Indiana Jones scene inspiring all of the Combat Pragmatism.
Grey and Grey Morality: It's unclear who exactly we are rooting for. The man who is apparently the Designated Hero starts targeting innocent bystanders after defeating most of his enemies.
Homage: Essentially a homage to every early 90s 2D fighter with their highly urban yet highly flamboyently dressed mooks and the tendency for them to fall in large arcs with incredibly stiff animations.
