Considering that it was written by the Wachowski sisters, it's not surprising. They made The Matrix too. This song from the film Sivaji: The Boss. As this blog post puts it, "the waycool approach is to ride up, while napping, on a motorcycle that you drive with your feet, dismount by means of wheelie on the front tire, and shoot the bad guys with a machinegun hidden in your guitar.

A one-eyed seventy year old nun who runs a gun-smuggling 'church of violence' and whose weapon of choice is a golden Desert Eagle she fires one handed? Motorcycles awaken something primal within us, part of which is probably the fact that we control such a powerful beast of a machine, and it responds to our whim. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure basically runs on this trope, since a lot of it's plot elements don't make much sense but were really awesome on the other side. The first part alone is about a man using a mysterious martial art that draws its power from the sun to fight his evil adoptive brother who used a stone mask that, when drenched in blood, grows thorns and actives acunputure points in the brain of its wearer, turning him into a vampire. And that's the most normal part of the eight.For some riders, this sound made their hearts beat faster and made the hairs on their arms stand up, and prompted them to take a closer look at motorcycles.

As with the above list, these blasts from the past are selected on a wholly subjective basis, and have been chosen with significant personal preference and prejudice.

General Grievous would not exist were it not for this trope. An evil alien cyborg general with four arms who hunts Jedi for sport? Hell yes!

Broly, being a massive Breakout Character, who is a Super Saiyan Blood Knight who uses sheer Super-Strength, and not any fancy moves to make the Z Fighters look like amateurs for most of the fight Ninja Slayer: Everything and everyone is so over the top that it has to be seen to be believed. Just think "American '80s and '90s ninja movies" meets Gurren Lagann, and then taken to the next level. Be Prepared , Scar's song from The Lion King has the ground lifting up to the moon while Scar and the Hyenas are standing on it to make a menacing tower, in addition to lots of green lighting and smoke coming out of the ground. Why? Because it's COOL!Of scientific laws that this trope circumvents, the third law of motion is probably the most frequently revoked, with the Square-Cube Law probably a close second. The Second Law of Thermodynamics is third and a mention has to go to the laws of relativity, which prevent us from attaining Faster-Than-Light Travel and going to a distant planet in just a few hours.

There's no reason that turbo duels have to be played on motorcycles in Yu Gi Oh5ds. The format works just as well when played on a table. The anime pays lip service to it being important by stating that the more speed counters you have the faster you can go, but going faster has no tangible effect on the gamestate. Mechanical parts are relatively easy to come by, but as a low-volume model from some time ago bodywork and trim pieces can be like hens’ teeth, and the car itself is hardly commonplace – though that arguably makes it cooler. 10. Talbot-Lago T150 ‘Teardrop’Regardless, more than 50 years on Mercedes’ design still looks stunning despite the relatively simple (by modern standards) body shape.

Why would you go to an amusement park and turn all the lights on, turning your location into a gigantic target? Why would you jump out of the car and let it sink into the river, instead of hitting the brakes suddenly? Why would you try to con the first signs of life instead of going with them, then why would you leave? Why would you take a motorcycle or a shovel to fight zombies? Why? Why? Because it's awesome. Inglourious Basterds. It's not tactically smart to try guerrilla warfare when you don't have the home advantage, but is it badass?
