Does this include one-on-one fighting tactics, or just big army tactics? Monday 02nd of July 2007 3:15 am

This! Is! SPARTAAAAA! Monday 02nd of July 2007 3:42 am

My enemy, my foe, is an animal. In order to conquer the animal, I have to learn to think like an animal. I've gotta get inside this guy's pelt and crawl around for a few days. Monday 02nd of July 2007 4:03 am

In the Lion King, Simba totally flips Scar onto his back right when you think the fight is over. That's poetry. Monday 02nd of July 2007 5:44 am

I'm a fan of the movie "Red Dawn". A band of teenagers guerrillas skirmish with evil Communist Cuban and Soviet invaders using guerrilla tactics, such as use of enemy weapons, blending into the public populace, and setting up numerous ambushes to deliver attacks that aren't very strong or devastating, but are smaller and demoralizing to the enemy force. The result, the communists were driven from Colorado. Take that, comrade! Monday 02nd of July 2007 5:59 am

Rob, this is so interesting! Can you fly to Burbank tonight to be on my show and talk more about it? Monday 02nd of July 2007 6:06 am

In Starship Troopers, in the very first battle, the marines are transported to the bug planet. Unfortunately, they were given no information as to what the battle plans were and every man had to fend for himself. The battle was over very quickly. Monday 02nd of July 2007 6:15 am

I like ARnold in Commando...the scene where he imbeds the circular saw blade in that guy's head is ART! Monday 02nd of July 2007 6:16 am

In Cryptonomicon (another book), the good guys are unable to recover gold from the entrance of a WWII-era mine, which the Japanese filled when it became obvious they'd lose the war. The bad guys had control of the area around the mine entrance. It was just a matter of time before the bad guys would dig through the entrance to the mine. So they filled the mine full of petrol and melted the gold, which then flowed out a secondary ent Monday 02nd of July 2007 6:18 am

I am better... Monday 02nd of July 2007 6:35 am

Ok, it's not a battle tactic, but I like the new 'heist' tactics employed in movies. Favorite examples include the reverse heist in the reprised Thomas Crown Affair and the popcorn laser heist in Real Genius. Monday 02nd of July 2007 6:43 am

The way Balian destroys Saladin's siege towers with his catapults in Kingdom of Heaven (2005). Sorry, I dont have time to explain how he does it :p Monday 02nd of July 2007 6:48 am

More of a nerdy one... At the end of Star Trek 6, the Enterprise is facing off against a cloaked Klingon Bird of Prey that can fire while cloaked. The enterprise (unable to target a cloaked ship) modifies a torpedo to follow The Kliongons impulse engine exaust and sends it right up their tail pipe. The resulting explosion allows the Enterprise and Exelsior (who had just dropped out of warp to assist) to lock on and destroy the Klngon Monday 02nd of July 2007 6:54 am

Just when you think Leroy is going to be drowned, he realizes that he has The Glow and beats the crap out of Sho'Nuff. Monday 02nd of July 2007 7:08 am

I'm sure by now it's been said, but what about in Gladiator when Maximus makes a battle tactic on the fly on his first trip to the coliseum? He instructs everyone to form a tight circle and form their shields into one big impenetrable group and slowly pick off the opposing foes. Monday 02nd of July 2007 7:15 am

"Galaxy Quest", where they get magnetic-attractive mines to follow their ship back towards the enemy vessel. "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock", where they set the auto-destruct on Enterprise before being boarded by Klingons, and simultaneously beam over to the enemy ship and use that to escape (and is what they use in ST-IV).

The classic "lets attack the single unarmed hero one at a time" technique employed by a group of bad guys. Monday 02nd of July 2007 7:45 am

The classic Half-Pencer maneuver! [okay, that's a TV show (the A team) Monday 02nd of July 2007 8:22 am

I am not sure about my favorite by my least favorite would have to be in Dune where Paul "I can break things with my voice" Atreides yells at me, I mean Feyd-Rautha, and his body bursts. How lame is that? I mean, if anyone should have be using their voice to save the day is should have been someone with an actually decent voice. Someone who had maybe led a band. Someone like me, or Feyd-Rautha that is. Monday 02nd of July 2007 8:24 am

Willow - where they hide in the holes until the crucial moment where Willow bangs the drum and they all run out of the holes and get inside the castle. How did they dig the holes and hide without being detected by anyone in the castle? THAT is clever tactics! Or bad film-making. Monday 02nd of July 2007 9:26 am

I liked it in Snatch Blasters #9 when Peter North uses the Philly Fake-out. You never see that one coming! Monday 02nd of July 2007 9:27 am

Thank you very much! Monday 02nd of July 2007 9:36 am

My choice is from Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, when Sauruman cleverly distracts the heroes with a frontal assault on the walls of their fortress while sneaking in wall-destroying bombs to blow them apart. Monday 02nd of July 2007 9:56 am

In butch cassidey and the sundance kid, sundance is going to fight one of his gang members and he says wait lest get the rules settled first and the other guy goes there are no rules and then sundance kicks him real hard in the crotch with his boot and wins the fight.

I like Night Watch where, throughout the film the antagonist is seen plotting the final 'battle' scene, in which he finally comes to the conclusion that he can win by not fighting, thus seeming like a hero Monday 02nd of July 2007 11:15 am

How about the tactic by Michael Douglas in "Falling Down" where he takes the weapons of his defeated foes? He constantly upgrades... going from a bat, to a knife, to a gun, and then a... ROCKET LAUNCHER? Monday 02nd of July 2007 12:58 pm

The Three Amigos. The whole town is dressed like the Amigos. How great is that? The enemy was confusing little girls dressed like the Amigos for the real deal. Monday 02nd of July 2007 1:17 pm

In "Kelly's Heroes", Clint Eastwood and I lead a band of US Army gold-digging misfits after a cache of Nazi gold. We use the narrow streets of the small French town to sneak up on the powerful German Tiger tanks, exposing their weak rear armor to the US Sherman tanks weaker main gun. Additionally, we use the church bells and the Germans' idling diesel engines to camoflague the sound of our approach. Monday 02nd of July 2007 1:36 pm

Yeah, it's called the money shot. Who loves ya baby!? Monday 02nd of July 2007 1:51 pm

In both Braveheart and Last Samari.... The old set the battle field on fire trick. That's the battle equivilent of the fake field goal for a touchdown. Technically legal, but still underhanded. Monday 02nd of July 2007 1:53 pm

Which way is up? Monday 02nd of July 2007 2:39 pm

In the movie "Half Baked", the three friends (Thurgood, Brian, and Scarface) are forced to fight Samson and his bitches/henchwomen. Their tactic of "Let's beat these bitches!" is effective at first, but because of Scarface's headlong rush to attack Samson (in retribution for the death of Killer) the protagonists find themselves at an impasse from which defeat seems close. However, Brian prays to the ashes of Jerry Garcia, and things end Monday 02nd of July 2007 2:50 pm

In Galaxy Quest, Tim Allen and his friends are faced with overwhelming odds against a much more skilled opponent. They fly through a magnetic mine-field, luring mines directly into the enemy ship. Monday 02nd of July 2007 4:06 pm

In the movie Snatch, Brad Pitt plays a pikey who takes a pounding from a very large amateur boxer. When the boxer thinks he's beat the piss out of the pikey, Pitt turns around and in one precise punch, knocks the boxer unconscious, revealing that he himself is a professional bare-knuckle boxer. God, I wish I was as sexy as Pitt. Monday 02nd of July 2007 4:07 pm

yes, the sexual war, in which a man and woman wage battle until exhaustion. Monday 02nd of July 2007 4:25 pm

I like the part in Biodome where Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin run around and act like asses. It's pretty much the whole movie. Monday 02nd of July 2007 4:36 pm

Hey Alex, Your Momsh got shome pretty good waarr tacticsh- have you ever heard her moo- itsh fantashtic. Monday 02nd of July 2007 4:36 pm

In "Predator" there are many great tactics, the best one being to fire all at once into the jungle, foregoing any common sense as well as special forces training Arnold's squad should have had. The super-micro cut on the predator's leg was exactly what Dutch had in mind so he could use the old line "If it bleeds, we can kill it." Monday 02nd of July 2007 4:42 pm

Two Galaxy Quest comments regarding battle tactics? Are you kidding me? Monday 02nd of July 2007 4:49 pm

Robert, the way you have these comments zig-zag back and forth really is very unaesthetically pleasing. This is not a good thing. Monday 02nd of July 2007 5:23 pm

Return of the Jedi has several. My favorite occurs during the Battle of Endor when Lando Calrissian instructs Admiral Akbar to have the Rebel fleet move close in on the Imperial fleet to engage at point blank range. This makes it more difficult for the Death Star to pick off the Rebel ships. Monday 02nd of July 2007 5:34 pm

Call me old-fashioned but I'm a sucker for a good ol' fashioned bitch slap any day. Monday 02nd of July 2007 5:35 pm

The fart scene in blazing saddles, that sure turned the tide! Or did they need to use Tide after that, I forget. Monday 02nd of July 2007 6:46 pm

I always liked the part in Hunt for Red October where they turn into the torpedo and close the gap before the failsafe has a chance to disable. Then the torpedo just bounce off the front of the sub. Give me some candy!!! Monday 02nd of July 2007 7:30 pm

The tactic you describe from saving private ryan is actually the simplest form of maneuver under fire which is taught to every private in basic training. the braveheart tactic rocks. the unsafe airbrake maneuver from top gun is one of my favs though Monday 02nd of July 2007 9:24 pm

I liked the Pre-Fight Donut tactic that the Ninja Turtles tried in the second movie. If I recall correctly, it consisted of giving the enemies poisoned donuts before the battle even began. Monday 02nd of July 2007 9:38 pm

The ultimate "turn the tables" move was in the Karate Kid, when Daniel-san stood on one leg and gave one heck of an ass whoopin'! Monday 02nd of July 2007 9:55 pm

The curb stomp on American History X. Classic and effective. Monday 02nd of July 2007 10:22 pm

Okay I'm not sure if this was actually in a movie, but my favorite is the one where Rob Cockerham is surrounded by an angry, violent mob of Cockeyed dot com readers who are demanding more original website content, and somehow he actually manages to convince the poor slobs to create their own content for his website. A classic maneuver! Ingenious, I say! Monday 02nd of July 2007 10:22 pm

The part in ghostbusters where they cross the plasma rays. That's the bomb dude. Well maybe not quite "the" bomb, but if you watch it stoned, it's pretty damn cool. Well, mostly cool anyway. Monday 02nd of July 2007 10:23 pm

whoo hoo - men!!! Monday 02nd of July 2007 11:30 pm

I loved the Orcish attack in the Two Towers. Sure they are the bad guys but they were not sent in with mere orders to mash their forces against the enemy walls. They moved in, and in the carnage of the battle they threw a suicide bomber at the weakest point of the massive wall, sacrificing a valiant orc, but breaching the wall and turning the tide of the battle. I wonder if the suicide orc recieved any orcish honeys in the afterlife? Monday 02nd of July 2007 11:30 pm

In the remake of the movie "Dawn of the Dead" the rag-tag group or stranded mall refugees use equipment available to them in the mall to construct two battle buses. They plow through zombies armed for long-range attacks with propane canisters and guns and close rang attacks with barbed wire and chainsaw murder holes. Although, the blonde bimbo totally gets her American Life ended in a tragic chainsaw mishandling. Still a good idea. Tuesday 03rd of July 2007 12:03 am

One day, Poppie Fields, president of Pop Secret, tried to infiltrate my factory and steal my secret recipe. I left the front door open, but put a bucket of hot kernels over the top of the doorjam, so when he opened the door, VOILA, kernels fell into his gaping mouth. I then set him on fire and doused him with hot butter. It was hot, buttery popcorn everywhere for the 3rd shift workers that night, friend. Good times.

When Tom Cruise utters the line "You...complete...me" while "Secret Garden" plays softly in the background. Ah! What a lovely battle scene that was... Sean Connery Tuesday 03rd of July 2007 8:39 am

In the HBO series Band of Brothers when one group of soldiers need to relay information to another group in order initiate an attack on the germans - colonel Spiers gets up and runs through all of the enemy fortifications without firing a shot. The amazing part, as they say in the movie, is that after he relayed the information, he ran back. Dick Cheney Tuesday 03rd of July 2007 8:45 am

Chance the gardener says, "I like to watch . . ." Avril Levine Tuesday 03rd of July 2007 9:00 am

In Empire Strikes Back, the Millenium Falcon is being overtaken by space cruisers and fighters. Outmatched and unable to run, hero Han Solo decides to move into attack position and charge the leading star destroyer! However, it is only a ploy. Instead of attacking, the Falcon attaches itself to the enemy cruiser using a docking clamp. Safely hidden, the fleet abandons the chase and the Falcon drifts away with the rest of the trash. Natalie Portman Tuesday 03rd of July 2007 11:32 am

GLORY. Not for the ingenuity of the attack, but the heart-wrenching walk through the other troops and the "Give 'em hell 54!" cheer that at last brings them validation. Wow...what a scene. King Tut Tuesday 03rd of July 2007 11:43 am

In Zu--Warriors of Magic Mountain, there is a scene where a guy controls an evil spirit by growing his eyebrows very long and wrapping them around it. You can find weird tactics like that in many of Tsoi Hark's films. Ma Ying-jeou Tuesday 03rd of July 2007 12:56 pm

For the record, "Ender's Game" is a great novel-not short story- and hasn't been made yet, although it looks like it's finally gonna happen. How 'bout when my "son" shot the scimitar-wielding swordsman in "Raiders of the Lost Ark?" Or, better still, when I swam into the enemy nightclub with a duck decoy on my head to avoid detection, and stripped off my drysuit to reveal a tuxedo? Classy, no? There can be only one, bitches!

dude. in Down Periscope, where they slink their old-ass diesel sub under a cargo ship to get into the harbor... by slipping under another ship, the enemy radar can't get a fix on em! They then get into the harbor and release a torpedo just as they themselves get "blown up"... awesome! That whole flick has awesome battle tactics... even the " sing like a whale scene" is totally ace! Natalie Portman Tuesday 03rd of July 2007 1:54 pm

Bluegrass-Sensimilia with Beer and Rifles are still not enough. Always go with Lots of TNT on the 18th. I think. Bill Murray Tuesday 03rd of July 2007 3:03 pm

The Three Amigos used all the town's people dressed as the Amigos to put the ki-bosh on El Guapo's tyranny. That's good, because he brought a plethora of tyranny. Iphone Tuesday 03rd of July 2007 3:52 pm

Throw rocks! Crush skulls! Take women! Caveman Tuesday 03rd of July 2007 4:57 pm

Battle tactics? Ha! Try to match my failure to deliver Diane Kruger's love note to Josh Hartnett. That's a tactic, baby! Rose Byrne Tuesday 03rd of July 2007 5:28 pm

The sticky bombs in Saving Private Ryan, we put explosive shell in a sock covered with grease. Tom Hanks Tuesday 03rd of July 2007 5:43 pm

In Monty Python and The Holy Grail, the deployment of The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch against the rabbit of Caerbannog most certainly ranks divinely high on the list of best battle tactics in Movies. Actually, this event really happened. Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouco Varela Tuesday 03rd of July 2007 7:27 pm

I would like to show her a light sharpener... Cardinal Ivan Dias Tuesday 03rd of July 2007 7:28 pm
