* Meta example, but according to a recent interview: While they were filming, Creator/KurtRussell decided to take a stroll through an alleyway in full Snake attire, guns and all. He met 4 guys who he described as tougher than him. They were so intimidated that they left him alone. You heard that folks, Snake was a badass before he hit the big screen. Though he remarked that by now almost everyone has seen the movie and [[BadassDecay wasn't sure that could work again.]]

* In ''EscapeFromNewYork'', Snake's victory against the GiantMook in the ring. The guy is twice Snake's size, and Snake has been limping since he was shot in the leg with an arrow. He finally sees his chance and hits his opponent in the stomach with his spiked club, and then again in the back of the head! And the previously hostile crowd goes wild! "SNAKE, SNAKE, SNAKE, SNAKE!!!"
* And of course, in ''EscapeFromLA'': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eKDfmGpUfI the ending]]. CrowningMomentOfAwesome for Snake Plissken, too bad the rest of the movie doesn't quite live up to it...
** The "Bangkok Rules" scene wasn't bad.
** As well as the basketball scene, especially once you realize that KurtRussell actually made all those shots (including the full-court one) ''all by himself''.
