Do you recall the scene, Jack, in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" where David Niven and some American guy (can't remember who) drive each other slowly around the bend over a day or so and finally get into a hilarious fistfight out in the boondocks somewhere...hilarious because they are both so utterly incompetent at engaging in fisticuffs! The battle of the supernerds, you could call it. :-) At one point they both haul back to deliver a mighty roundhouse punch and end up punching each other's fists, like a man punching his own reflection in the mirror...which causes them both to recoil, howl in agony, and dance around clutching their hurt right hands....

This is followed by further incompetent efforts to maim one another. Much panting and puffing, very little result. Even the Three Stooges were better at fistfighting than these two guys were.

It makes for a nice antidote to the kind of thing you usually see in the action movies.
