Kung Fu Panda 2/Awesome


 * Po's first fight, alongside the Furious Five, against the wolves attacking the musicans. This moment proves that the fan-boy panda is just as awesome and just as skilled as he was when he fought Tai Lung.
 * Po, after attaining inner-peace,
 * Especially love the "Next One Coming Right At You" sign he gives to  before he does it.
 * Skadoosh!
 * Any time Shen actually fights. One can't help but be impressed just by how graceful yet deadly he is as a fighter.
 * You'd think his giant Peacock tailfeathers would be a big hinderance in the highly agility-based Kung Fu, but no, it's highly convenient that you have a giant knife-like blade and hang glider sticking out of your butt.
 * In particular, he uses his tail in a manner similar to a War Fan. While traditionally Japanese, these are used in Chinese martial arts, and called tiě shàn.
 * Just to paint a clear picture. Shen, whose main fighting style is "Fire at anything in front of us", manages to go Toe-To-Toe with the Dragon Warrior. hell, Po looks worried at a few moments. Had he not, he MIGHT have won.
 * Of course, his introductory scene had him defeating Ox and Croc before being fought to a standstill by Rhino, so he was definitely a force to be reckoned with. However, his utilization of weaponized gunpowder was simply good business.
 * And, hey, even the whole "Fire at anything in front of us" thing has it's own charm.
 * Shen basically harshly averted any preconceptions about him. His initial introduction made him out to be the standard arrogant-type bigbad, who would be mostly talk and little action. Shen turned out to be the exact opposite; he's not afraid to kill off insubordination, in close combat he used every advantage and disadvantage in his favour, and he manage to avert No Plans No Prototype No Backup. The final battle even implied even Po wasn't able to turn his flaws on him, he was killed by his own rage.
 * Po's Rousing Speech to Ox and Croc in the jail actually manages to be this rather than Narm, thanks to the fact Po doesn't fall into his usual Metaphorgotten speech--and it's quite clear he believes in what he's saying and is determined to overcome their cowardice.
 * Po's fight later with the Wolf Boss is both awesome and funny at the same time.
 * Tigress gets a couple. The first is when Po launches a punch at her in the boat, and she blocks it. The result is a thundering noise echoing accross the water, and Po clutching his hand in pain. Later, Po tries to punch her again, this time in her shoulder in a friendly way. She shows no indication that she even noticed, and Po withdraws his hand in pain again.
 * Then when she confronts Po in the dungeons. It is a Curb Stomp Battle.
 * Which is something considering that Po had defeated Tai Lung, who'd defeated all of the Five on his own in the first film.
 * Shen fired his cannon at Thundering Rhino, the Kung-fu master who presumably had 'the perfect defense' and left nothing but a dented sledgehammer and a smoldering crater. The next time he fired at Po, he used an even bigger cannon, and even though Po protected himself with a wok, his multiple layers of fat which protected him from special attacks in the first movie, and he landed in a cushioning body of water, he still needed some acupuncture and a day's rest before he could go back and fight Shen. But when he fired his mega-cannon at Po the next time, Tigress took the shot for herself. Without even going into a Kung-fu protective stance. And it only winded her for a while. THAT IS AWESOME.
 * And who can forget the scene in Lord Shen's tower where she dodges many flaming arrows and then catches one an inch from her face? Not to mention the fact that she didn't seem all that concerned about it.
 * Po's . The last one also counts as a serious Tear Jerker.
 * Shifu's entrance into the semi-final fight against the wolves - namely, half a dozen or more wolves being thrown like ragdolls by an itsy-bitsy red panda.
 * To say nothing of his casual balance-on-his-stick pose afterward.
 * The fact that Shifu's first instinct after sensing that Po might be in danger is to cross half the country to kick some serious ass is awesome in it's own right. Ditto since he also apparently convinced Croc and Ox to fight, which Po and the Five couldn't do at all.
 * How does Viper attempt a swordfight without arms? Just entangle the arms of a wolf bandit and use those!
 * Master Thundering Rhino deserves mention for holding off Shen's attack  Bear in mind Shen is nimble and agile, whereas Thundering Rhino was bulkier in appearance. In any other movie, Shen would have the advantage, but the way in which the larger opponent gracefully made use of his hammer and horn to hold off the attack until he was close enough to deliver the finishing stroke shows who had the advantage in physical combat.
 * Wolf Boss standing up to Lord Shen and refusing to shoot his own men.
