* Hell, the entire movie is a moment of awesome for Porter. While he does get the shit beat out of him quite often, he more than makes up for it by almost always coming out on top! By the end of the movie, he's not only framed the two corrupt cops, he's also gotten that Stegman worm killed, his traitorous partner killed, and also managed to almost systematically severely weaken the Outfit by killing its three main leaders... and all because he was conned out of $70,000 dollars (an amount that's not worth the troubles he goes through, as most people point out).

* The final gambit is a thing of beauty. The syndicate bosses capture Porter, they time him up, beat him, smash his feet with a crowbar, and finally get him to talk. Then they lock him in the trunk of their limo, and take him with them to the address he gives up, because they don't trust him. Then they go into the building, hear a phone ringing, and when they answer it, hear Porter saying "You were right not to trust me." And those are the last words they ever hear. Guy has to seem almost supernatural.

* More Porter Awesome; when he hitches a cab, he finds out that Stegman was already in the cab waiting for him at gunpoint. As they ride in the cab, Stegman is unbelievably smug, claiming how he'll turn Porter in for a huge reward while still holding the gun. What does Porter do? ''He simply grabs the gun from Stegman's hands mid-lecture.'' Porter's face after he does so is priceless.
