-->'''Mysterious Man''': THE CORN! THE SILKY HAIR OF CORN! Pull it from the ear and feed it to the cow, ''HURRY!''

* At the end of the first act, it seems that the Baker and his Wife's quest was AllForNothing--they used Rapunzel's tresses for the "hair as yellow as corn," and since the Witch has touched that hair, it cannot be used as part of the spell. As a nearby clock tower counts down toward, all seems lost--and then the Mysterious Man, who's spent most of the first act as a riddling {{Troll}}, comes ''bursting'' onto the scene with some ExactWords that provide a way out:

** It becomes even better with TheReveal that the Mysterious Man is the Baker's long-lost father. After abandoning his family and hiding out in the woods for decades, he finally decides to stop being indecisive and try to help his son. It's also implied that the regret was the only thing keeping the Mysterious Man alive, as he [[RedemptionEqualsDeath drops dead]] immediately after the plan works; in essence, he pulled a HeroicSacrifice to ensure his child's happiness.

** The film manages to amp the scene UpToEleven, particularly with the Witch's dramatic exit at the end. She uses her regained powers to create a powerful windstorm (complete with lightning), and eventually, she sinks into the ground, leaving behind a large pool of black tar. It's one of the most visually-stunning numbers in the entire film.

* A meta-example with the film version of Cinderella [[SpeaksFluentAnimal talking to a flock of birds]]. Creator/AnnaKendrick, a well-known DeadpanSnarker, was that committed to her role, not once rolling her eyes or winking to the camera.

* ''The Last Midnight'', which is all basically the Witch giving one big WhatTheHellHero to all the main characters. The best part? [[JerkassHasAPoint She's absolutely right.]]

* Jack's Mother standing up to the Giantess to defend her son. Unfortunately, it does not end well for her, but it was nonetheless awesome seeing her display such moxie. A true MamaBear moment if there ever was one.

* Cinderella telling her so-called "[[PrinceCharmless Prince Charming]]" where to shove it upon finding out about his unfaithfulness, and dumping him. That part shows the audience that she's definitely toughened up from the ExtremeDoormat she was in the original tale.
