Line 11: Compare [[Knuckle-Cracking]], [[Angry Fist Shake]], [[Fist of Enthusiasm]]. {{examples}}▼ ▲{{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * [[Dragonball Z]] is a subversion of sorts, as usually such characters clench their fists BECAUSE of the exhertion required to channel their incredible amounts of power. Played straight by Goku when fighting Frieza, and by Gohan when fighting Perfect Cell however. * [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]: In an interesting usage, throughout the series there are repeated shots of Shinji's hands as his fingers curl as if trying and failing to make a fist. {{spoiler\|In the final episode of the TV series, as he finally declares "My life is worth living here!", he makes a real fist. The walls of the dark "playroom" around him shatter, to reveal him surrounded by the rest of the cast, all congratulating him under a blue sky.}} * ''[[ToA ~~Aru~~Certain ~~Majutsu no~~Magical Index~~\|Touma~~]]'': Touma always clenches his [[Anti-Magic\|right hand]] into a fist before he says he will [[Catch Phrase\|shatter someone's illusions]]. * L of ''[[~~Death Note (Manga)\|~~Death Note]]'' does this after his first defeat, as he resolves to show his face to the task force. (Light also does it in the ''Rewrite'' movies - not to reflect any real emotion, just as part of one of his many [[Bastardly Speech~~\|Bastardly Speeches~~]]es.) * Guts from ''[[Berserk]]'' does this surprisingly not during his [[Screw Destiny]] speech at the end of the Golden Age Arc (which led into his [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]), but during his [[My Greatest Second Chance]] declaration at the beginning of the Retribution Arc. == [[Comic Books]] == * In ''[[~~All Fall Down (Comic Book)\|~~All Fall Down]]'', when Pronto hears about Siphon, he has one of these that's so intense he makes his palm bleed. == [[Film]] == * Tony Stark does this just prior to unleashing the Mark I armour upon his captors in ''[[Iron Man (~~Film~~film)\|Iron Man]]''. * ''[[Spider -Man (~~Film~~film)\|Spider Man]] 2'' - Just after Doctor Octavius kidnaps Mary-Jane, the recently retired Peter Parker watches the villain carry her off and seemingly 'reactivates' his ailing powers with this gesture. * A wounded ''[[Superman Returns]]'', and then does this seconds before plunging into the Atlantic and lifting the Kryptonite-infested Island into the upper atmosphere. * [[Jean -Claude Van Damme]] likes doing this, especially visible when fighting the Sumo Competitor in ''[[~~Bloodsport (Film)\|~~Bloodsport]]''. * ''[[Back to The Future]]'', of course! George does this to Biff in order to protect his future wife. * Ash getting his chainsaw back in the pit at the beginning of ''[[Army of Darkness]]''. Chainsaw of fury? ** Not sure about that one - probably closer to [[Power Fist]] in both use and appearance - although the scene where Ash gets a steampunk hand and uses it to crush a metal goblet later in the same film would fit. {{quote\| "Groovy." -Ash}} * ''[[Rocky V]]'' - "Touch me and I'll sue!" Clench and.... WHACK!!! "Sue me for what!?" * A particularly extravagant example comes from the [[Incredible Hulk]] movie (certainly the [[The Incredible Hulk (~~Film~~film)\|2008/Ed Norton]] film, and quite probably the Eric Bana and Lou Ferrigno versions too). Not only does Bruce Banner clench his fists tightly as he prepares for battle, but those fists start getting bigger and greener.... * [[Bruce Lee]]'s characters did this a lot, especially in the actual ''Fist of Fury'' film. * An interesting inversion of this trope happens in ''[[Fight Club]]''. When Norton's character is being [[Bad Boss\|threatened by his boss]], he looks down at his hand and is surprised to see it clenched into a shaking fist. Moments later, he unleashes a brutal beatdown ... on himself. == [[Literature]] == * Played straight in [[The Stand]] by Stephen King, after the explosion that injures Franny and kills and wounds a bunch of others. Stu tells her that Harold set the bomb, and then gets a revenge-hungry look on his face that outright frightens her and does the [[Fist of Rage]] with both fists. == [[Music]] == Line 44: == [[Web Original]] == * [[Doctor Steel]] is often posed in his propaganda art making one (and it's part-and-parcel of his trademark salute), and does it as he's suiting up for "Experiment Time" in The Dr. Steel Show, Episode 2. * The [[The Church of the Subgenius\|Subgenii]] faction of ''[[Fenspace]]'' have sculpted an entire asteroid into one called [http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=The_Stark_Fist_of_Removal "The Stark Fist of Removal"] after a concept espoused by the real-world Church of the Subgenius. == [[Western Animation]] == * Zuko from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' does this every once in a while, especially in the first two seasons, either as he's about to attack Aang or as he's trying to keep his bottled-up frustration inside. == Other == * One of the virtues espoused by [[The Church of the Subgenius]] is called [https://subgenius.fandom.com/wiki/Stark_Fist_of_Removal The Stark Fist of Removal]. {{reflist}} Line 55 ⟶ 59: [[Category:Anger Tropes]] [[Category:Hand Tropes]] [[Category:~~Fist of Rage~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
