Ledge Fighters

"The only way out...is down."

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. --


 * 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 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.
 * Exploding Barrels
 * Eye Scream: The final enemy gets a knife in the eye, delivered by the teeth.
 * Fight Scene
 * 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.
 * Groin Attack: To the guy waving the baton around.
 * 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.
 * Knife Nut: A lot of the fighters.
 * Made of Explodium
 * No Name Given
 * Not Quite Dead: The last enemy. Hard to tell which gang member it is, though.
 * Railing Kill: They could have named this Railing Kill: The Movie.
 * Repeat Cut: The final kill. This combined with the inavoidable Special Effects Failure of a close up of the stunt dummy possibly leads to What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?.
 * Refuge in Audacity: It becomes a literal Dead Baby Comedy.
 * 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.
 * Stuff Blowing Up
