Power Walk: Difference between revisions

Line 19:

** The first has its own fan name: The Walk to Arlong Park. One pan shot of Zoro, Luffy, Sanji and Usopp marching to avenge Nami is so wide, it'd probably still require a pan if done in letterbox.

* Parodied in the live-action movie of ''[[Cromartie High School]]''. The pre-finale Power Walk is intercut with trucking shots of the actors simply walking in place. Taken to a ridiculous level in the opening of the anime, which has two groups of students walking right through, among other things, ''a tank''.

* Done in ''[[~~Twentieth~~ Century Boys]]'' and in [[The Movie]] thereof, {{spoiler|as Kenji and his friends head out to fight the giant robot}}. Definitely of Hero Shot variety.

* Done in ''[[20th Century Boys]]'' and in [[The Movie]] thereof, {{spoiler|as Kenji and his friends head out to fight the giant robot}}. Definitely of Hero Shot variety.

* Sent up in ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'': There is a Power Walk right in the second season opening credits...performed by the characters in the series with the least impact on the plot.

* Norris Packard in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team]]'' does a power walk with his [[Humongous Mecha|Gouf Custom]] power walking beside him.

Line 29:

* Many OPs of ''[[Detective Conan]]'' show many of the cast doing this.

* Happens before almost every match in ''[[Slam Dunk]]''

* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'': [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Akemi]] [[Took a Level In Badass|Homura]] does this {{spoiler|''[[Rule of Cool|while the universe is being rewound]]'' after she failed to save Madoka [[Groundhog Day Loop|in the previous time line]]}}. Her internal monologue make it even more [[Badass]].

Line 125:

** Played straight by the Hyena gang in "The Pack".

** The intros for both Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel ended with a clip of one of the power walks that had happened during the show. It would be at the end, after the cast had been introduced and as the intro song was ending, for exceedingly cool effect.

* The episode of ''[[~~Myth Busters~~]]'' broadcast on 2 March 2005 shows Jamie, Adam and the Build Team doing a Power walk down an abandoned runway.

** August 27, 2008, the "NASA Moon Landing" episode, shows Jamie and Adam power walking to one of the tests.

* ''[[Doctor Who]]'': After defeating his first alien adversary in the Christmas special, the Tenth Doctor's Power Walk is coupled with the dialogue - "No second chances. I'm that sort of a man."

Line 182:

''insert power walk here''

'''High Overlord Saurfang says:''' My boy died at the Wrath Gate. I am here only to collect his body. }}

* Often used in [[Role Playing Game|RPGs]] to show off all the awesome loot your party is wearing at the end of the game.

Line 197:

* The intro for ''[[Justice League]]'' plays this completely straight. But then, how can you NOT, when you've got Superman walking in the middle?

** And yet they do—in the ''Unlimited'' episode set in the Old West. Not only do the heroes stride down the deserted Main Street of the town -- (along with the phony [[Heel Face Turn]] Chronos) -- but the music playing is a Morricone-style take on the original theme music.

** They parodied this in ''[[The Fairly ~~Odd Parents~~]]'': "They're slow, but they look good!"

* The Season 2 Finale of ''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|Ben 10 Alien Force]]'' has the team Ben assembles for the attack on the La Soledad base doing this.

* Parodied in ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'' episode "Launchtime." The penguins power-walk on the way to their rocket ship with dramatic music playing. Then Skipper says: "Well, we'll never get to the moon at this rate. Let's pick up the pace." They speed up.
