The Art of the Suit-Up Scene

An oddly silent suit-up in terms of heroic music, but makes up for where it lacks with an overzealous amount of gun clicks.

This ridiculous sequel to Short Circuit is definitely one of those films that can be described as a "Hilarity Ensues" film (i.e. a robot that is magically brought to life by a bolt of lightning moves to New York, hilarity ensues.) So the fact that it has a robot suit-up scene, complete with late 80's guitar licks and a face slapping set synth horns, doesn't surprise me.

Zombie Strippers: A movie that was made purely for its title and clickity gun closet suit-up scene with a cheesy joke that brings a slight smirk to your face.

I believe it's a law that every Batman movie has to have a suit-up scene. By rule of clicks and Hans Zimmer/James Newton Howard soundtrack, this is one of the best of the series.

I would easily classify Ironman as one of the most complicated suit-up scenes in film history and by no means would I consider this suit-up, "a snap to re-enact at home."

What is more intimidating that seeing some close-ups of men fastening their belt buckles, tightening their spurs, and donning bedazzled sombreros? The answer: Nothing.

A unique suit-up scene without any clicks, quick cuts or any other diegetic sound for that matter (with the exception of the one-liner at the end). It does feature gratuitous close-ups of a teen aged werewolf putting on a suit, blow drying his wolf hair, and talking to himself in the mirror while disappearing into thin air all to the tune of The Bee Gees/Stayin' Alive.

The iconic headband, tight necklace, and bowie knife is what devastation looks like before it happens. "Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off!"

Yes, two Batman movies made our list, both of which earn the right to be here in their own respect. Although I have to say, I'm partial to this one because of its simplicity, with only 1 click and 3 shots to suit-up.

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any red blooded American male who didn't dream of being Arnold in this defining suit-up scene. It has everything one could ask for: various clicking things, gratuitous close-ups of guns, body armor and giant muscles, and insanely heroic music.

Astonishingly offensive close-ups of asses and molded nipples for no reason.
