2. Adisaya Piravi (1990)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OEGX7kjZpPk Here's a scene that wastes no time being awful - and cracking us up in the process - with a downed protagonist getting back to his feet, which for some reason repeats the exact same shot four times, just in case we missed it. Distractingly poor sound editing is King, but the real winner comes with the arrival of a midget who swings from a rope and, apparently by having lead in his shoes, manages to kick a giant, hulking enemy to the ground. Back to the main fight, we get another four-shot repetition of the protagonist turning around - complete with an absurd grimace on his face - but the fun here is really with the midget, continuing to kick the unlikeliest of ass, with comic sound effects to boot.
