* Gotta love Balthazar's BadassBoast.
--> '''Balthazar''': Who dies first?
** One has to remember that he says this as he's surrounded by a rather large number of soldiers - and wearing a dress.
** Later, his PreMortemOneLiner to [[{{Patricide}} Takmet]]: ''"[[AndThisIsFor For your father]]"''

** The entire successive fight scene qualifies as this. Memnon's been introduced as the patron saint of AsskickingEqualsAuthority , while we've seen Mathayus [[OneManArmy devastate every single opponent he's had a shot at in the movie in a straight fight.]] When they finally fight each other, Memnon lives up to his name and manages to dominate Mathayus in their swordfight, driving him back up a staircase with dual flaming swords. Memnon only loses once Mathayus gets a hold of his weapon of choice, the bow,'' and tears an arrow out of his back to shoot.'' And Memnon, who's displayed the skill to block arrows with a sword, just barely misses the bolt, and even then, he's not dead until after he catches on fire and falls several stories onto his own men.

--> '''Jesup''': Live free.
--> '''Mathayus''': Die well.

--> '''Mathayus''': Live free.
--> '''Balthazar''': Rule well.
* Always loved the scene when Mathayus lures the high ranking {{Mook}} Thorak and some of his crownies into a cave, then starts picking them off one by one by one.
** Special mention goes to the moment when we see only a mook and his shadow - and then his shadow starts moving...

--> '''Memnon''': What magic Is this?!
--> '''Cassandra''': My magic!

* Arpid somehow escaping from being buried up to his neck and then killing their guards in the kind of StealthHiBye generally reserved for Mathayus himself deserves a mention.
** Arpid is the established cowardly side-kick character. At the end when he and Philos are surrounded by guards before they can light the trail of powder, he quips 'so much for not getting killed' and dives to light it. He and Philos both manage to escape.

* When Mathayus and Balthazar duel, both of they swords break in half when they clash.
* Mathayus' entrance at the beginning of the movie, when he rescues his brother. Without even appearing on screen, he shoots half a dozen mooks with arrows, arrows so powerful that the mooks go flying. Then he emerges from the shadows, armed to the teeth, grim and willing to kill. Everybody goes silent, everybody just stares at him, there's a pause, and then...
--> '''Mathayus''': Boo.

** Or when Thorak glances in one direction for just a moment, and when he turns back his last book has been impales on a jagged rock and mathayus is nowhere in sight.

* TheReveal that Cassandra’s visions aren’t VirginPower but her family just says that to keep Kong’s from thinking to take advantage of them is both this and a funny moment.

* When Mathayus and Balthazar due, both of they swords break in half when they clash.

** The sorceress Cassandra had her own moment just before Mathayus shows up. Memnon has forced her into divining which of some pots on a rotating table ''doesn't'' have a [[RussianRoulette poisonous snake]] in them. Just to make certain she still has her powers. After she's guessed right the first few times. She surprises him by pulling a snake out, ready to fight Memnon herself using her powers to get the snake to attack him.
