History Awesome / ResidentEvil5

* The above gets followed up with Josh's epic BigDamnHeroes moment at the end of the first chapter. After Sheva's aforementioned awesome handgun shot, the Majini are still closing in, and Chris and Sheva are simply outmatched. Then, suddenly [[BoomHeadshot BOOM Headshot!]] One of the Majini drops dead, and BOOM another, and another... cut to a Delta Team member on a nearby rooftop sniping enemies. One of the motorcycle Majini tries to stop and hits one of his dead friends, launching him onto the downed Helicopter's propeller as the rest of Delta moves in dropping enemies left and right. Dave, your driver in the upcoming Chapter 2-3, [[ShootTheFuelTank blows one of the Majini's motorcycles skyhigh by hitting his fuel tank]]. Finally Josh, Sheva's BigBrotherMentor, finishes the Majini targeting Sheva with a shot in the back from his [[CoolGun SIG SG 556]]. Badass!

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7boL1c1emE '''HERE'S BARRY!''']] Age does not slow down Barry Burton as he kicks ass in ''Mercenary Reunion'' mode. He ''headbutts a zombie''. Rebecca has a shotgun in one hand, machine gun in the other, enough ammo to wipe out every last Majini, can use fire to kill them, and smart enough to set up her inventory so she can insta heal. DistressedDamsel no more!

-->'''Chris''': Suck on this, Wesker!
-->'''Sheva''': Your time's up, you ''son of a bitch''!

* When Chris and Sheva are trying to pull the prasite off Jill's chest, especially the moment when either Chris or Sheva restrains the seemingly crazed Jill and the other pulls the thing out, made more breath-taking by the camera angles.

* Speaking of Chris's reputation as being a marksman, this game proves he's got those skills, most notably when shooting the [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot bat caterpillar scorpion]] monster in the face while it's swooping down at high speed, and even more incredibly, landing a headshot on a Majini manning a Gatling gun on Irving's ship ''[[ImprobableAimingSkills while Chris himself is on a tiny skiff being buffeted by river currents, at night.]]'' And he does both feats with [[SniperPistol an 92FS Beretta!]]

* Sheva versus. Wesker has Uroboros. She has ''a knife''. Which she uses to stab him with seventeen times in the heart. Also a non-fatal HeroicSacrifice for Chris when he tells her to [attack] through him. And in that sequence, ''yes''. Chris DOES take damage.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xuXkVzBdJQ Chris Redfield vs A Giant Boulder.]] CMOF and {{Narm}} also should be counted toward it. He punches a ''freaking boulder'' and somehow '''doesn't''' break his hand. To make the scene ''somewhat'' more credible, the boulder (nevermind how it actualy got there) is in a volcano, so it's presumably made of pumice, which is much lighter than normal stone.

* Sheva gets quite an impressive moment near the start of the game. She and Chris have just reached a downed helicopter, and are ambushed by about half a dozen Majini on motorcycles, one of which uses a chain to snag Chris's leg. As Chris is being dragged away, Sheva fires one precise shot and blows through the chain. Pretty damn impressive considering that Chris is the renowned marksman and Sheva is the new character.

* Allow me to just add Sheva here. Wesker has Uroboros. She has ''a knife''. Which she uses to stab him with seventeen times in the heart. ''Sheva Alomar stabs the BigBad of the series seventeen fucking times in the heart.''
** Also a non-fatal HeroicSacrifice for Chris when he tells her to [attack] through him. And in that sequence, ''yes''. Chris DOES take damage.
*** Chris and Sheva then finish Wesker off with [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill two rocket launchers]].

* Sheva gets quite an impressive moment near the start of the game. Chris and she have just reached a downed helicopter, and are ambushed by about half a dozen Majini on motorcycles, one of which uses a chain to snag Chris's leg. As Chris is being dragged away, Sheva fires one precise shot and blows through the chain. Repeat: that was ''one'' bullet, fired at a small target moving ''very'' fast. Pretty damn impressive considering that Chris is the renowned marksman and Sheva is the new character.
* Why is the part when Chris and Sheva are trying to pull that thing that forces Jill to do crap Wesker wants her to do off her chest here? That moment when either Chris or Sheva restrains the seemingly crazed Jill and the other pulls the thing out, made more breath-taking by the camera angles... It becomes even more awesome when it's Chris who's pulling it out, because it could come off as ShippingFuel. Granted, they've been shippable PlatonicLifePartners for a long time now.

* No love for Desperate Escape? Josh's helicopter buddy Doug spends the entire mission endlessly hitting on Jill over the radio, as Josh and she fight through an army of Majini to get to the helipad. His arrival is delayed somewhat, but he more than makes up for it by landing on a nearby roof with bad teeth and a monster of a rifle, which he uses to open a can of whupass with (scoring ''consecutive headshots'' at one point). He's stopped only when a Majini [[ChunkySalsaRule hits him with a Stinger missile]], forcing a distraught Josh to fly and evade a second missile from said Majini. The Mook doesn't get a third shot, however, because as he takes aim, he finds himself staring down the barrel of Doug's dropped SIG, currently being held by a very pissed off Jill Valentine, [[BoomHeadshot and that's the end of that.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7boL1c1emE '''HERE'S BARRY!''']] Age does not slow down Barry Burton as he kicks ass in ''Mercenary Reunion'' mode. He '''''headbutts a zombie''''' for heaven's sake. And wins! Rebecca has a shotgun in one paw, machine gun in the other, enough ammo to wipe out every last Majini, can use fire to kill them, and smart enough to set up her inventory so she can insta heal. DistressedDamsel no more!
* How about Lost in Nightmares? Battling Wesker in Dr. Spencer's mansion is the best.

* Allow me to just add Sheva here. Wesker has Uroboros. She has ''a knife''. Which she uses to stab him with seventeen times in the heart.

*** Minor? That was one of the best delivered ShutUpHannibal lines I've ever heard! In one simple line, Chris says what we have all wanted to say to Wesker for the last 15 years.

** CMOF and {{Narm}} also should be counted toward it. He punches a ''freaking boulder'' and somehow '''doesn't''' break his hand. You wanna know how he does it? Do ya?? Because he's the ''motherfucking '''[[BadAss Chris Redfield]]''','' that's how. '''He speaks the boulder's language.'''
** To make the scene ''somewhat'' more credible, the boulder (nevermind how it actualy got there) is in a volcano, so it's presumably made of pumice, which is much lighter than normal stone.
