Battle Discretion Shot: Difference between revisions

* A short film named Woodshed is nothing but this: a static shot of a woodshed and the noises of a huge scuffle.

* ''[[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World]]'': While his stunt doubles kick the ever-loving crap out of Scott, Lucas Lee steps away from the fight to grab some coffee and check his text messages, [[Crowning Moment of Funny|which are apparently hilarious.]] Before he can sip his coffee, though...

* ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (animation)|How to Train Your Dragon]]'': Happens in the last dragon training exercise. Despite [[Badass Pacifist|Hiccup]]'s willingness to let Astrid win the exercise, by the time Astrid comes around to make her move, Hiccup has already incapacitated the dragon (and by his expression, probably by accident). Also used {{spoiler|the first time the Vikings try to take the dragons' nest.}}

* [[Pixar]] loves this one. usually involving a [[Monsters, Inc.|trailer]] or [[The Incredibles|truck]] of some kind.

* In ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'', [[Technical Pacifist|Grace plays a fighting game]] during her birthday party while Ellen watches. [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2005-06-02 At one point], Ellen is actually shocked by what she sees even though its stated to be only cartoon violence.

* Parodied in [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006811 this scene] of ''[[Homestuck]]'', wherein we cut away from Jack Noir killing a regulator to [[Relax-O-Vision|a Pawn that Jack Noir killed previously using a knife]]. And then we cut back (too early) to see that Jack Noir [[Gorn|isn't actually finished killing the regulator, let alone cleaning up the copious amounts of blood.]]

"''Jack.''"<br />

"''Jack, [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|the man is dead.]] [[Disproportionate Retribution|Stop that.]]''" }}

** In a more specific example, During ''Asterix in Britain'', when Obelix is imprisoned in the "Tower of Londinium", we see him leave his cell [[Open Says Me|in the fashion you'd expect]] of [[Does Not Know His Own Strength|Obelix]], then we cut to outside the Tower, hearing the sounds of Obelix knocking the guards about (and occasionally one flying out the window) as he goes down. Once he's down, however, Asterix goes in the front, thinking Obelix is still in there, and it happens again, only this time, going up. They both then realise where the other is, and it happens ''[[Rule of Three|again]]'' until they meet in the middle. The whole thing pretty much qualifies for a [[Crowning Moment of Funny|CMOF]].

* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' has [[Cloudcuckoolander|Pinkie Pie's]] attempt to persuade the dragon in "Dragonshy".

* Happens a lot in cartoons made by ''Xilam'', such as ''[[Oggy and the Cockroaches]]'' and ''[[Space Goofs]]'', where characters are [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|beaten senseless]] off screen. Although we do get to see the [[Amusing Injuries|results]]. }}

* ''[[Transformers Rescue Bots]]'' features one of these when the titular Bots finally manage to confront the [[Evil Counterpart|MorBot]] in combat at the end of "The Reign of Morocco". It may double as a robotic form of [[Gory Discretion Shot]], as the resulting rain of robot parts implies that what they did was rather brutal.
