This scene from "The Kid" (1921), starring Charlie Chaplin (as the Tramp) and Jackie Coogan (as The Kid), is classic slapstick genius! In the scene, a scuffle ensues when a boy steals a toy from The Kid. Then the boy's older brother - a neighborhood bully - shows up and picks a fight with The Tramp. The Tramp ducks, dodges and bonks (with the help of a brick) his way to a hilarious victory in what is widely regarded as one of Charlie Chaplin's finest films and, indeed, one of the best films of all time.
