Luke Skywalker jetting through the Death Star’s metal canyons armed only with a single proton torpedo. The Bride in Kill Bill hoisting her gleaming katana up to a room full of ninjas ready to strike her down. John McClane scaling the sides of Nakatomi Tower with bloody feet. Motherfucking Braveheart facing down the English with nothing but a damp kilt to shield him from certain death.
