Burly Brawl 

The name given to the action sequence that took place in a computer program called The Matrix in the film "The Matrix" in which super-Neo would battle more than 100 Agent Smiths in an extended orgy of kung fu.

As the team tossed ideas around for one hellacious fight scene that became known in-house as the Burly Brawl, Gaeta realized that the innovative technology he and his crew developed for The Matrix's ultra slo-mo action sequences would not be sufficient to bring the Wachowskis' new vision to the screen.

Super Burly Brawl 

The name for an action special effects sequence in the movie "The Matrix:Revolutions".

The action set pieces to look out for in Revolutions including the Club Hell Coat Check showdown, Neo's fight with Bane on the Logos, and a Super Burly Brawl (a take from Reloaded's burly brawl) where he fights many Agent Smiths in the rain.
