16. Shaun vs. the Zombies in … Shaun of the Dead

The Setup: The zombie apocalypse. Terrifying. Bloody. Hilarious. Finding his English village overrun with the walking dead, Shaun, the living incompetent, tries to save his friends and loved ones by barricading themselves in the local pub.

The Weird: It’s all a blend of goofy gold; thundering cricket paddles and a poorly aimed Remington. If you even find yourself face to skull with a zombie, don’t call Shaun.

15. Mrs Peltzer vs. The ‘Kitchen’ Gremlins in ... Gremlins

The Setup: Having being tricked into feeding his mogwai after midnight, Billy is on the run to warn everyone about the not-so-cuddly threat that is spreading across Kingston Falls. But can his mother hold her own until he returns?

The Weird: Ever had the sick desire to see a stop-motion gremlin puppet cooked in a microwave? No? Perhaps shredded in a blender? Stabbed with a knife? This classic kitchen battle gives a whole new meaning to Desperate Housewives.

14. Chon Wang vs. The Pickpockets in … Shanghai Knights

The Setup: Incited by the young pickpocket Charlie, cowboys Chon Wang and Roy O’Bannon find themselves at the mercy of a roguish gang of street toughs after they attempt to reclaim their picked belongings.

The Weird: If Jackie Chan should be known for only one thing, it should have to be his use of everyday objects in his enthralling and often hilarious fights. If you thought UFC fighters were all that, try taking down a knife wielding British gang with nothing but an umbrella and your trench coat. Now that is badassery.
