If you were fighting Satan
If *I* were fighting Satan. That's an interesting was to put it. One thing that movies seem to shy away is that if you are dealing with Satan, a Satan drawn largely from Biblical texts, that means the Biblical texts are accurate on this account, and thefore they're probably accurate about God and a whole bunch of other things. If it looked like I ran across the Satan from Christian tradtion, I would fight him using the same source material and resources from that tradition...
'course, in Hollywood, noone ever seems to figure that out

'But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"' Jude 1:9
'Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.' - James 4:7
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints." - Ephesians 6:10-18
