Flaws be-damned, there's one majorly entertaining sequence in Ridley Scott's latest Alien movie, in which android "brothers" David (Michael Fassbender) and Walter (also Michael Fassbender) face off in a battle to the death.

After Walter finds the evil David attempting to kill Daniels (Katherine Waterston), he interjects, throwing a stunned David around. Having believed he "killed" Walter earlier in the film, David is stunned to learn that Walter's privy to a few upgrades that David isn't (presumably a secondary power source), at which point the two Fassbenders begin sparring with one another.

The scene doesn't last long, but the fight choreography is a lot of fun, and seeing these two androids battling it out, as different sides of the same coin, is all sorts of bada**.

In the end, though Walter seems to come out on top, we all know that David eventually triumphs, assuming Walter's identity for the long journey to Origae-6.
