Words from both sides are listed in alphabetical order. The flavortext, title, and familiarity with pop culture suggests that these are mispaired parts of well known movies. The duos can be recombined as follows:
Boxed (1) bunny (20) Con Air Chopsticks (15) dance (3) Big Drunken (14) tricycling (8) Revenge of the Nerds Fascist (3) strikeouts (1) Bull Durham Fish (8) wheel (11) UHF Flying (3) bicycles (3) E.T.
