* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: In 2010, it was revealed that the real Escalante did not have insurance to cover the chemo he would need to fight his thyroid cancer. Edward James Olmos (among other cast members and some of Escalante's former actual students) stepped in and started a fund to help him pay for it. Sadly, he died in March of 2010.

* {{Narm}}:
** You can't help but be amused when Ramirez snaps and goes [[LargeHam all ham]].
** Escalante's "NO WAAAY!"

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Anyone who's seen the film knows [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNSJTcm970A YOU'VE GOT TO STAND AND DELIVER!]]
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome:
** After one of the students announces that she'll be leaving, she comes back suddenly to answer a math problem that everyone had struggled on like it was nothing.
** Escalante standing up to an Educational Testing Service investigator who thinks his students cheated.
-->'''Escalante''': I'm gonna prove you guys wrong!
-->'''Ramirez''': I hope you do, because this is not between you and me.
-->'''Escalante''': Maybe not, but if I catch you on the street, I'm gonna kick the [[PrecisionFStrike shit]] out of you.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Angel telling the school district officials he cheated by stealing the answers from the mailman after strangling him and that his body is now "decomposing in his locker". What makes it funnier is one of his classmates hysterically laughing at this for a long time.
** "On the third day of Christmas a cholo came to me..."
** Some of the random comments Escalante's students say near the start of the movie. Special mention goes to "Can we talk about sex?"
