Black Adam: 20 WTF Moments

12. The Mexican Standoff

The TV gag gets a callback a short while later, and it results in one of the most fascinatingly bizarre and amusing moments in the movie, when the Intergang mercs chase down Adrianna and Amon in search of the Crown of Sabbac, only for Adam to show up and give them a helping hand.

Adam ends up surrounded by the soldiers on all sides, at which point Ennio Morricone's iconic Mexican standoff music from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly starts playing.

The tense moment patiently plays out as all involved size each other up, until Adam hilariously breaks the suspense by effortlessly destroying all the soldiers with his lightning powers in a matter of seconds.
