* The KillerRabbit of Caerbannog effortlessly killing several armoured knights with just its teeth. Everything about the Killer Rabbit really, from his legendary status to his stunning kill record to the fact that he went up against the Knights of Camelot (well, sort of) and almost won!

The only reason the Rabbit lost was by way of the knights employing what is effectively a ''handheld nuke.''

** King Arthur outdoes him though, by not only getting across the bridge safely, but by ''catapulting the question-giver off the bridge instead''. He turns it around on him by using the ridiculous nonsense he had to listen to at the start of the story about swallows and coconuts to demand he clarify a vague part of his question, and making the man admit he didn't actually think that far ahead, ''catapulting him to his death by the rules of his own bridge''.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPW9fmhA4-k music]] playing when the wooden boat takes King Arthur and Sir Bedevere to the Castle of Aaaarggh. You feel a sense of satisfaction for them as they've completed their quest. Almost brings a tear into your eyes. [[MoodWhiplash At least until the humor sets in.]]

* [[BloodKnight Sir Lancelot]] has an awesome moment: he's the only knight (including King Arthur himself) able to get past the guardian of the bridge and crossing it safely... not by outsmarting or tricking the guardian, but simply by ''answering all of his questions honestly!''

Non-example. Too vague to know that it\'s just Holy Grail being referenced.

* A meta-example, to illustrate how big an impact this movie has had. For the video game Mortal Kombat 3, the fighters can morph into animals to deliver their finishing moves, called Animalities. One of the characters can change into the Killer Rabbit. That's how well this movie has held up.

* King Arthur's duel with the Black Knight, which handles the whole swordfight thing somewhat realistically--Arthur employs a blow from the pommel of his sword at one point rather than continuously clashing blades with his foe, dodges rather than parries some of the attacks, and ends up aiming for the Black Knight's ''arm'' rather than his sword. [[OnlyAFleshWound Then, of course, the hilarity starts to set in.]]
