Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
The arcade being made at Disneyland's Adventure Park complete with classic 1980 games!
When Sam first lands in the Digital World, complete with the Flynn's Arcade in the background and a Recognizer hovering above him
The entire fight between Sam and Rinzler, but especially when they suddenly find themselves fighting upside-down.
The face-off at the End of Line Club. Specifically when Kevin Flynn appears and turns the tide of the battle pretty much by just standing there.
To elaborate further Flynn merely lays a hand on the floor of the club and everything just stops. The lights flicker off, the music comes to a grinding halt, the fighting abruptly stops, everything. Hell, even Castor is left speechless, simply looking upon him in horror.
It is Joseph Kosinski's feature film directorial debut. IT IS HIS FIRST FEATURE FILM[1]. Real Life Moment of Awesome.
And doubles as a Real LifeCall Back; the original movie was Steven Lisberger's feature film directorial debut.
At the end of the "The Next Day" documentary where Sam pushes past the reporters and enters the elevator: one reporter asks if he has any statement for the press. His response is to open his jacket and show them the shirt he's wearing: FLYNN LIVES.
Which is even more awesome and heartwarming if you think of it in terms of Fridge Brilliance - of courseFLYNN LIVES - he's Sam FLYNN and is taking up his father's legacy.
Giving Quorra some much-deserved love, this troper loved when she helps Sam take out Rinzler in Clu's quarters despite having her hands cuffed behind her back.
A Real Life example, having the crowd from San Diego Comic-Con be the Disc Wars audience, as seen in the "Disc Roars" feature on the Blu-ray version.
Though not shown, Quorra's story of how Kevin saved her mentions that she was surrounded by Clu's soldiers, likely including Black Guards. Then Kevin appears over her to rescue her. Though she doesn't say it outright, the implication is that Kevin fought off all of Clu's troops to save her.
This troper believes the light cycle scene like the first movie was one of the awesome moments. Most specifically the scene where it was just Clu and Sam. Sam was knocked off his cycle and rather than run like hell, he faces Clu head on with his disc drawn. fortunately help comes Just in Time.
A bit of a meta example: This troper saw this film in theaters. AND IT WAS AWESOME. IT was his first Digital 3D film, and it was the first time it actually worked. That, and Daft Punk's awesome soundtrack is SO much better with surround sound. Also, it was what got this troper interested in Daft Punk to begin with.
