A Fight Scene where the combatants have no fighting skill whatsoever, usually played for laughs, and often in slow-mo, for additional comedy. This can also be played dramatically: when two combatants have no skill, no finesse, nothing but a determination to kill each other by any means possible, it can make for a more realistic and compelling fight scene than the most choreographed kung-fu. Compare What the Fu Are You Doing?, Fight Scene Failure, and I Know Kung Faux. See also Combat Breakdown, when an initially-skilful fight devolves into this after going on too long.
