* It was revealed that Saints Row The Third has a sprint button, but the company calls it the Awesome button. Why, well, if you hold the button to hijack someone, you dropkick them out of the car. Yes, sprinting to the side of the car will have the player ''fucking dropkick the driver, sending said driver out the car through the other side.'' Doing it in front has you ''hijacking from the front''. Awesome indeed.
** And hey, if you get tired of that you can use one of the new weapons to control cars remotely ''just by pointing it at them!'' Even better, halfway through the story the army is called in... and they bring with them [[TankGoodness quite a few tanks...]]
*** [[BribingYourWayToVictory You'll need to upgrade the RC controller to max.]] But it's well beyond worth the money.
* The Saints escape from the Syndicate by jumping out of a plane; with Boss catching Shaundi mid air, looks normal, until it comes around to attack them. Boss abandons Shaundi in freefall and jumps back onto the plane to stop it from killing them both, before again falling and catching Shaundi, proving his credentials as a [[MagnificentBastard fucking asshole]].
* There's a button dedicated to nothing but ''[[GroinAttack Groin Attacks]]''. You heard me.
** And that, ladies and gentlemen, is Saint's Row in a [[IncrediblyLamePun nutshell.]] A button that's only function is to hit people in the nuts. Truly we are living in a glorious, utopian society.
* One of the first missions has you protecting Pierce. Using a rocket launcher from a helicopter had been done, but then The Boss needs to snipe from a building. Simply shooting from the roof isn't good enough, so s\he bungee jumps off the side and uses a sniper rifle while hanging from a building.
* The early mission "House Party". You need to acquire a new headquarters, and a large penthouse owned by the Syndicate would be perfect. How do you take it over? By parachuting out of a helicopter, landing on the roof during a pool party, and shooting the place up while making your way to the elevator to let your homies up. The kicker? You do all this ''while [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome "Power"]] by KanyeWest plays in the background.''
--> '''Pierce''': So what d'you think?
--> '''Boss''': Some asshole's in my pool.
* In a second-act mission, you have a mid-air battle in a tank.
* The mission where you kill Jessica in the second game was [[YMMV/SaintsRow controversial]]... and it's also the event Cyrus Temple references (leaving out the reasons the Boss did it, of course) in order to make his point as to why the Saints ''must'' be eliminated.
* The PowerWalk you Pierce and Shaundi take as you go to take on Philippe at his skyscraper.
** Not to mention[[spoiler: how you manage to kill Loren without even trying by dropping a giant ball from the ceiling to cut off his escape route]]
* Oleg jumping on top of a V-TOL jet and taking it down with his BARE HANDS!
* Listen to Boss comments during the Eye of the Tiger escort mission. He or she goes from extremely terrified over it to actually being more and more unfazed by it the more courage you build up to making comments like: "Well aren't you a little kitten!".
* The credits after beating the game has every one of the boss's voices singing along to ''What i Got''.
* One of Zimos missions can be seen as call back to the Sons of Samedi mission "Bad Trip" in which you have to fight hordes of enemies while stoned. Only this time you have to fight them stoned and naked in one of their strongholds.
** The Mission Ho Boat can also be seen call back to the Brotherhood mission The Enemy of my Enemy, in which you have to sneak on board of a ship and steal a shipment after fighting of waves of enemies. Only this time you can do it with an oversized minigun.
* After the Zombie Island mission we get a cutscene of Cyrus and some STAG soldiers inspecting the island, being attacked by a horde of zombies. Cyrus is constantly shooting them while having a heated argument with the Senator over radio, without even showing a sign of stress, except at the end when Cyrus is concerned that Monica Hughes is coming to Steelport in light of STAG's lack of results.
* The last mission in the game: A three way war between the remnant of the Syndicate, the Saints, and STAG is raging on the streets of Steelport. You, Pierce and Oleg hit the roads doing what you can where you can to save as many Saints as possible, racing between several locations with combat all around. Then you come to the SadisticChoice. Regardless of which you choose, you have to drive across town, through a war zone, at high speed, dodging tanks, squads of gang members or soldiers, and airstrikes, with BonnieTyler's [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome "Holding Out For A Hero"]] blaring. In any other situation, that song would be high octane Narm, but after the insanity of the past several hours, it's the only song on the soundtrack you want to hear.
** Magarac Island is rigged with bombs, and a missed shot while you fight your way up might set them off. With the right DLC, you can make this moment all the more awesome; suit up in some medieval platemail, and fight your way up the statue with nothing but a sword.
* If you choose to [[spoiler:kill Killbane]] instead of [[spoiler: saving Shaundi]], the ending has your character stage a press conference. In your speech, you make Steelport a freaking [[spoiler: city-state]].
--> '''Boss:''' I got a message for Monica Hughes and her stooges. Dear Bitch: Steelport is [[spoiler: under new management]], and we don't answer to you. This is [[spoiler: foreign soil]] now. Come at my city again, and you'll go home in a [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] box.
* The mission "http//deckers.die" is reminiscent of {{Tron}}. Granted, if Tron included toilets, blow-up dolls, lags, system failures, and giant phoenix-like bosses that can only be defeated by button-mashing.
* The "Trouble With Clones..." DLC actually gives the Boss SUPERPOWERS! Super speed, strangth, and the ability to shoot fireballs! Even better is that the mission that gives you the powers sends a whole squad of brutes for you to OneHitKill with your bare hands! The cherry on top is that the game lets players make their own superhero costume or BadAssLongCoat at the clothing stores to wear for their supercharged rampage!
* Burt Reynolds shows when ordering Boss to clean up the zombie problem why his middle name (so s\he says) is Fucking.
-->'''Boss:''' Arn't you worried about pissing off STAG?
-->'''Reynolds:''' You talk as if I've never outsmarted a paramilitary organization before.
