* Towards the ending, when a parade of soldiers passed by from the tented encampment, he had to salute them and interrupted his hugging and kissing of his new girlfriend. As usual, he found a solution for that, he repositioned himself so he could do both at once. Romantically kissing Annabelle Lee and mechanistically and automatically saluting the passing soldiers with his right hand.

* During the final battle, all three of the members of a Confederate cannon-firing crew were shot by a Union sniper fire, and Gray was the SoleSurvivor. Then he accidently threw his sword in the air (which he used very clumsily earlier), and the sword landed on the Union sniper which stabbed him.
** Adding to that, when Johnnie was trying to fire the cannon, he accidently made the cannon muzzle point into the air and the cannonball is shoot nearly straight upwards. But did the cannonball land straight onto Johnnie and kill him on the spot? No. It crashes behind a wooden dam, releasing a large burst of water the flooded, and washed out a number of remaining Union forces. Even when he's not trying to be a hero, he still manages to save the day.
* Johnnie Gray getting an officer uniform and becoming an official solider. Complete with him winning Annabelle's adoration after being scolded at the beginning of the film.

** To continue from that, any of the stunts Keaton pulled in this film. No miniatures, very few camera tricks, and definitely no CG: That's a real man running around on a real speeding train, just one wrong foot away from filming his own death.
