We need to discuss something pointless

Something on par with the sort of stupid discussion you’d hear in a bar or see at a convention.
Plus I’ve watched a few too many of those “Best (fill in the blanks) in movies.”
So I’ve decided we should collectively put together a list of the Twenty Best Úš-Kickings in movies

I took the precaution of running a goggle search on the subject and, sure enough, found someone had already put together such a list. But I consider his choices, for the most part, inadequate. So I want to put together a list that kicks the ášš of the other ášš-kicking list.
What do I mean by ášš-kickings? I mean a fight where someone gets his head handed to him, sometimes literally. An ášš-kicking that is iconic. That when you mention it, it immediately calls the moment to mind and you go, Oh God, yes, I remember that. It shouldn’t be a fight that’s going along fairly evenly matched and then someone wins at the end, such as the battle between Robin Hood and Sir Guy in “The Adventures of Robin Hood.” An ášš-kicking should, for the most part, be someone who is rapidly outmatched and gets more so by the moment. It can even be that the fight winds up turning out the other way, but in the course of it someone still gets their ášš kicked.
At this point, I’m not putting them in any order. Eventually, once I get a sense of the room, I will.
There are my thoughts:
BLADE RUNNER: Rick Dekkard versus Roy Batty. Bad enough that he almost dies between the muscular thighs of Darryl Hannah (which, let’s face it, there’s worse ways to go.) But Dekkard can muster little more than one long retreat before winding up at Batty’s mercy. If Batty had let go, Dekkard’s ášš is little more than grass.
MONTY PYTHON & THE HOLY GRAIL: King Arthur vs. the Black Knight. Rarely has someone’s ášš been more comprehensively kicked than the Black Knight. Yet even more famous than his dismemberment is his absolute refusal to acknowledge it. “It’s just a flesh wound,” has entered the language as an example of denial at its greatest.
RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK: Indiana Jones versus the German Mechanic. Barely edging out Indy getting thrown out the front of a moving truck, this wins because in the truck sequence, Indy rallies and comes out on top. In the mechanic battle, staged in front of a moving airplane, Indy winds up flat on his back and helpless, and only wins because the mechanic didn’t think to look behind him when a propeller swung his way.
EMPIRE STRIKES BACK: Luke vs. Vader. For much of the time, Luke seems overmatched, and yet there are brief moments where you think he’s going to rally. So it’s all the more crushing and shocking when he loses his hand. What kicks the ášš-kicking to an entirely new level is that, not only is he beaten physically, but the revelation of who did it crushes him spiritually.
WITNESS: John Book versus a bunch of punks. Harrison Ford finally on the right side of a whupping. When a bunch of smart mouth teens hassle the Amish, Book advances on them despite the caution that, “It’s not our way.” His terse, “But it’s MY way” underscores why he and Rachel will never make it together as he proceeds to issue the teens a single warning and then tap dances on their faces. Speaking of tap dancing…
CLOCKWORK ORANGE: Alex vs. the Author. The only ášš-kicking that is as famed for its perverse use of “Singing in the Rain” as the actual ášš-kicking itself.
ALIENS: Ripley vs. the Alien Queen. An ášš-kicking that announces itself in the unforgettable moment of Ripley emerging in a power loader and bellowing, “Get away from her, you bìŧçh!” No longer running, Ripley lays all her nightmares of aliens to rest by smacking, pummeling, burning, and crushing the queen before chucking her out of the ship, and all it costs her is a sneaker.
ROCKY II: Rocky vs. Apollo Creed. The other list acknowledges Apollo being killed by Ivan in Rocky III, but I’m sorry, if you’re going to have a Rocky-related ášš-kicking, then Rocky should be participating. The second film takes it because it’s a rare double ášš-kicking, with both boxers desperately crawling back to their corners.
DIE HARD: John McClane versus Karl. Pity poor Karl: He was just trying to avenge the death of his brother. Too bad his brother was one of the bad guys. Particularly memorable since it’s an ášš-kicking accompanied by what one would hear in a real-life ášš-kicking, namely an almost non-stop string of profanity. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bruce Willis ad libbed some of that family unfriendly diatribe as he pounds on Alexander Godunov before leaving him hanging by the neck. Props to Karl for surviving and almost having the last laugh…before getting his ášš kicked yet again courtesy of an alert cop blowing him away.
TERMINATOR II: The Terminator versus the T1000. Literally getting his head handed to him, Arnold’s iconic bionic gets slammed in the head repeatedly by an I-beam, then pummeled with a metal rod before getting speared through the chest. Yeah, sure, he blows up the T1000 at the end, but that hardly erases the thorough thrashing he took at the hands of the far smaller, but far meaner, T1000.
I have some other thoughts, but let’s see what you guys come up with.
