• The final confrontation between Krogh, Wolf, and the Monster easily counts. The Monster is about to hurl Wolf's son into a sulfur pit when Krogh shows up. He attacks the Monster and has his artificial arm torn off -- much as, years before when he was a boy like the Baron's son, the Monster ripped his arm from its socket. He then whips out a pistol and starts shooting the Monster to no avail. The Monster flails wildly with the ripped-off arm. Wolf climbs up on a ledge above the lab, and swings swashbuckler like down to kick the Monster into the sulfur pit. It's an amazing action scene and, unlike some others, it has some amazing emotional depth and a feeling of real heroism to it as we watch two mere mortals -- one of them minus an arm, at that! -- face one of the most terrifying monsters of filmdom and beat him.
