The only way out...is down.
Ledge Fighters is a Web Video 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.
- Combat Pragmatist:
- The characters are nearly all Knife Nuts in this one, but the first guy who tries it goes the way of the swordsman in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
- Then the next two guys who mess about with a staff and a mace quickly get shown the ledge too.
- The fact that Cool Shades, the first of the three to try this, gets shot with a gun in 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.
- 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.
- Shout-Out: The logo looks like the Street Fighter logo.
- Stock Scream: One guy lets out a Wilhelm, and the next guy dies with a Howie Long scream.
