I'm thinking along the lines of something that is probably a low percentage thing for most people, but if a fighter succeeds at it, its looks like something out of a movie. Think flying knee, handstand kick, two touch kick. Stuff like that.
I find simple is often the best way to look at things.I like the ol' "slip the left jab to the outside, drop my left arm low and wrap it around your front waist to spin-a-rama" move.
Im a simple man with simple tastes.
Man Feitosa is so good - credit to holly too, I DID fall for that when i saw it first
I always wanted to try the one-handstand kick, shown first in this clip
But somehow I don't think I will ever get a opportunity to pull it off.

I tried. And paid the price with a liver kick
I dunno, coming from a TKDish background, I've landed pretty much every single kick or move you can think of in sparring. During an orange belt test I landed a flying roundhouse to the face because I didn't even realize that wasn't a standard move. Granted in competition I think the flashiest thing I've ever even attempted was a jumping roundhouse or back kicks if you consider those flashy, but I think there is a use for extremely limited throwing of most of these techniques.
Honestly most of them aren't even that out-there depending on the rules. An axe kick is literally a white belt level technique in many TMAs. And I throw back and side kicks all the time in any rule set. Only reason I don't throw hook kicks is because I don't want to accidentally kill my sparring partner.
The "question mark kick" is extremely, extremely useful and every kicker should learn it. It's not flashy or hard to throw at all.
