Beowulf 300
From Leonidas to Beowulf, every legendary hero needs to yell a lot. Wonder who would win in a shouting match.
Actually, if you string their catchyells together, you can make a coherent paragraph:
This is Sparta. I am Beowulf. Tonight will be different. Tonight we dine in Hell.
Considering that both Frank Miller (300) and Neil Gaiman (Beowulf) are comic book writers, I’m not surprised at all the yelling. Nothing like some loud shouting to pump adrenaline into the classics. For great justice!

Dub Tony Jaa’s ascending fight scene in Tom Yum Goong with the voice of Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury, and you get over-the-top martial hilarity.
All those thugs he’s fighting must be gamers. They keep spouting lines from other SNK and Capcom characters.
