The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Where do you think is the craziest place a final

I mean, somewhere where you think, man, you guys should go somewhere else to fight, the surroundings around you or events around you are likely to kill you both!!!!

One such place I can think of is where Anakin and Obi-wan are fighting on Mustafar and everything is falling apart around them and lava is everywhere and it seems very likely both are gonna get killed.  

Personally, I had such a scenario in my LBT finale fight where Littlefoot and the Terror of the Mysterious Beyond are fighting in the Mountains that Burn (you know, that crazy place full of tar, lava, bones, and very wicked Domeheads) during a second Great Earthshake.

The idiots at the end of "The Nut Job" (a movie from last year) had their last battle... on top of a Waterfall! While throwing an armored truck in there too! What a weird flick, well worth of the title.

The already named site of the fight between Anakin and Obi-wan carries the cake for me. I wonder if anyone involved ever stood near a stream of lava. It is a misconception of many movies that you need to touch fire for it to cause pain and / or death. The heat as close to (and especially above) the lava as in Revenge of the Sith would be so intense it would likely ignite the clothes of Anakin and Obi-wan and it would most definitely be murderous to breathe their.
The same mistake can be found in the second Hobbit movie where Thorin is floating in a wheelbarrow on a stream of liquid gold. He hardly even sweats when in all realism he would be toast (litterally and a burned one at that).

One would have thought that the barrel Bombur was in woulda busted when he went on land too when they were escaping from the elves and fighting orcs.

Oh man, both of those events you described. The fight against Smaug was just comical, especially because NOBODY died.

I remember an old movie, clearly inspired by but not as good as Dr. strangelove, that used the worst special effects imaginable to get two characters to have a final bare-knuckles brawl while clinging to the side of a nuclear rocket being fired into the stratosphere. The hero wins by stuffing the villian's head into the rocket exhaust, and then how does he survive? Climbs into the rocket before it leaves Earth's atmosphere! This is how science and physics works.

The Mariners Revenge Song uses the belly of a whale for a final showdown as well, that's pretty crazy.

I do recall another odd one.  There was this movie where this guy was looking for a serial killer who turned out to be a cop gone bad and who had faked his death.  

At the end, the good guy and the bad guy are fighting in the water and the good guy shoots the bad guy with a taser or something and the bad guy is defeated.  However, one would have thought that the good guy would be hit by the voltage too as he was in water.  

Also, the fight in Spiderman 2 at the end is kinda weird, as one would think the sphere thingy would be doing a LOT more damage to Doc Ock and Spidey  if it was able to pull at cars all the way in downtown NYC.  

And also, in that same movie, Doc Ock and Spiderman are fighting on top of a moving train.  

Another wacky one is the final fight in Oliver and Company where the bad guy is chasing them in his car on a train track and going ON a railroad bridge.  

Another very strange one is in Return of Jafar where Jafar is making that lava even though he's got to know that he can't kill someone directly cause he's a genie and he's putting his own lamp in danger.  

Another one, though this time in  a book, is where the mongoose Rikki-tikki-tavi chases Nagaina right into her lair where she'll have all the advantages and even the author says that Nagaina would have all the advantages and that it would be a very foolish thing for Rikki-tikki to go into there and no other mongoose would have been foolish enough to do it.  (Yet he somehow wins that fight.)

Another very strange one I think is in Spider Man 3 where Spidey and Sandman are fighting in a car where the drivers are incapacitated and it's got no drivers yet they don't crash until after a nice fight.  

The Spiderman and Green Goblin fight in the burning building also is weird, as you'd think they'd both realize to get outta there as flashover is happening in other parts of the building.
