BAMF Switch
an extension of the acronym bamf, a bamf switch is a scene in an action or other genre of film, where a character, typically lead, becomes more of a bamf than they were a moment before.
most, but not all, bamf switches result in some kind of fight scene.
bamf switches are often characterized by:
1.) changes in music. (raised tempo, a more intense genre, or even no music at all.)
2.) monologing, or, more commonly, a single phrase.
3.) flashbacks
4.) slow motion
5.) reloading a weapon
6.) a physical gesture, such as cracking the neck or knuckles, or awesomely punching someone.
7.) shifting gears (if in a vehicle)
8.) a close up. especially if the character has just done something very dramatic, such as falling in a pool of blood, or cutting some dude in half.
9.) a change in weather. often to high winds or rain. (similar effects can be given by sprinklers, or large fans)
10.) a physical transformation. (putting on armor or some kind of awesome suit, changing into some kind of creature, or transforming from a vehicle into a giant robot.)

friend 2: nice!
the moment in an action, or other genre of film, where a lead character becomes significantly more of a bamf than they were a moment before.
switches are often characterized by a more bad -ss musical score, a slow mo’ scene, or some sort of brief phrase, such as “no”, “kill ‘im”, or “hey- arg!1!” -arm breaks-.
the rundown: after the rock grabs the two shotguns.
the matrix: during morphius’ rescue, just after the security guard says, “holy sh-t!”
