* Early on, Johnny admits that he doesn't think he's good enough to make it in a place like Redshore City, and he's all set to let his opportunity to go there pass him by, until Rosita talks some sense into him and convinces him to give it a try anyway. Things seem to go well after that, until Johnny is assigned to work with Klaus Kickenklober, an abusive dance instructor, and he fails every single task that Klaus demands of him. After a while, not only does his self-doubt from earlier return, it also grows significantly worse as Klaus goes out of his way to destroy his self-esteem for hours during their sessions. Eventually, Johnny starts to crack under pressure (to the point where his hand is ''trembling'' by the end of the day), as he realizes he's never going to get better and he's going to let down everyone else in the theater troupe who's counting on him. He decides to vent his anger at Klaus and snaps his own skateboard in half in a fit of rage, only to immediately become mortified as he realizes he just broke something that holds a lot of sentimental value to him.

* As the group prepare to leave Redshore City to evade Jimmy's goons, they see Crystal himself on a chat show in their hotel room, publicly mocking them for being talentless losers and tactically gloating they are finished. Cowed and heartbroken they begin to leave, only for Clay to wistfully ask if they really just want to hide their whole life like he did. Having just came out of his shell, it is made apparent that Clay has now started to realize how much of his life he wasted hiding in misery.

** Before this, his own hand is ''trembling''. If you consider what he went through in the first movie, the immediate regret he shows after breaking his own skateboard can almost come across as not wanting to turn into what his father used to be (before the latter reformed).

* When Rosita is about to do a high dive off of a catwalk during the group's performance rehearsal, she suddenly becomes terrified of heights and falls to her knees on the platform from terror. What's worse is that her kids and husband are there and she, for some reason, loses all her prior bravado. From there, this inadvertently leads to her losing the lead role to Porsha, after the latter performs the stunt with ease and proves she can sing as well, and Crystal intimidates Buster into making the call when Porsha insists she's better for it.

** The pure horror of all the other Moon Troupe members as they see Buster, their leader and TeamDad, at Jimmy's mercy out of their reach. It's probably the most distressing moment in the film series. Even worse, the most audible characters screaming aren't them but ''[[BrokenPedestal Jimmy's daughter and employees]]''. While they weren't oblivious to some of his nasty side before (and even had a bit of a ruthless side of their own), [[EvenEvilHasStandards they're straight up horrified to see their own leader has devolved to the level of a vicious murderous psychopath.]]

-->'''Buster:''' We'll all feel better when we're safe at home.
-->'''Clay:''' You sure about that? Because I can tell you, running and hiding away is ''not'' what it's all cracked up to be.
-->'''Buster:''' Well....we don't have a choice.
-->'''Clay:''' ''*sadly*'' Yeah, well, all these years I thought the same but, turns out there's ''always'' a choice. Just never had the guts to make the right one. Know what I mean?

* The implied IgnoredEpiphany with Jimmy. As soon as Marcus catches up with Crystal, he calmly drags him up close to the stage and makes him watch the cast (including both their kids) get standing ovation. As soon as Buster is out of Jimmy's reach, he lets him go while he applauds Johnny. Even after Jimmy has calmed down however, the sight only makes him realise [[ItsAllAboutMe the potential profit the show could grant himself]]. While Marcus did everything to make amends and support his son before heading to prison in the first film, Jimmy doesn't once think about his daughter before he is arrested.
