Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen) has attacked the Hong Kong sanctum and summoned the Dark Dimension, so Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) uses the Eye of Agamotto to reverse the destruction, all while Strange and Kaecilius continue to fight in real time.

It's an incredibly imaginative fight scene that's visually stunning and places the characters in a rare predicament of being unable to predict how their environment's going to behave, as everything around them is reversing itself back to a less-destroyed state.

While not as hilarious as Strange's absurd final battle against Dormammu, the Hong Kong reverse-fight nevertheless typifies the movie's prevailing creativity, resulting in one of the MCU's most memorable end fights to date.
