History Awesome / MinorityReport

* Towards the end of the film, when [[spoiler:Anderton is in jail, his wife finds out that he's innocent and calmly walks into the prison with a gun and tells the guard that she will be having a talk with her husband. When the guard asks how she bypassed security, she plops her husband's [[ChekhovsGun surgically-removed eyes]] in front of him.]]

* At the end of the movie, Anderton [[spoiler: exposes Burgess's murder and forces him into a SadisticChoice where he'll lose everything one way or another.]] Bonus points for how quickly he pulled it off - it's implied that not much time passes between [[spoiler: Anderton's release and Burgess's party.]] And then there's Anderton's justified rage towards the BigBad:

** The transparent displays the Precops "scrub the image" on and the way they do it via a glove controlled interface.

* When the hero and the government agent have a slightly star wars type fight on a factory's car assembly line, until the agent pins the hero to the line, jumps off, and the next scene is the hero screaming as a car seat (shotgun no less) is pounded, presumably, onto his face. Witwer and his agent posse walk along the assembly line, watching the car being built and thinking, "Oh boy, is that guy dead or what? I would not want to go out that way. Ouch." Then, the car is fully constructed and painted, and the agent gets a small smile on his face when... the hero's head looks out through the window, and he ''stares'' at them. Apparently, he had avoided all of the flailing mechanical arms and the car parts being welded together, while avoiding being seen. Witwer immediately gets an OhCrap look on his face, as the hero drives the car out of the factory. [[RuleOfCool Apparently, cars are made with a full tank and he already had the keys too]].

* When Anderton and Agatha are escaping from the mall, Agatha continuously uses her precognition to save them. It's chillingly awesome to watch how the seemingly trivial things she has Anderton do pan out to work in their favor.

* Dreamweaver, the Cyber Parlor run by Rufus T. Riley. You can just imagine what his patrons experience when simulating their fantasies and personal desires.
* The Sonic Shotguns that emit non-lethal shockwave bursts to immobilize someone. The way Anderton uses it knocking back three guys on Witwer's team by rapidly flipping the barrel to charge the blast.

* The film, in true Spielberg fashion, is filled with virtuoso setpieces, including the BatmanColdOpen showing off how the Precrime cops work (including the conductor-esque way Anderton scrubs the images for clues), the mall chase with Anderton pulling along a weakened and frightened Agatha (who in turn uses her abilities to evade the cops), and the confrontation between Anderton and Crow.

*** Reportedly based on an idea AlfredHitchcock had about a chase in a car factory where the hero has a car assembled around him and allows him to drive off.

* When Anderton pulls a gun on Witwer in the middle of Pre-Crime, Witwer says, "Put the gun down, John. I don't hear a red ball." Then the alarms go off. The OhCrap look on Witwer's face is ''priceless''.

* The moment when Anderton starts to read Miranda Rights to the guy he has every reason to believe kidnapped his son. Yes, he's a mourning father; yes, he had dreamed of what he was going to do to this guy with a half hour alone with him; yes, a precog foresaw that he would kill the guy, but Anderton is still a cop.

* While the movie itself isn't so great, it does have a crowning moment of awesome.

** Careful stranger. Sayin' something is less awesome than the Star Wars Prequels will get ya' shot round these parts.
