2* Metatron's WalkOnWater scene.
3* Metatron as part of Bartleby's OhCrap moment.
4-->'''Metatron:''' Was Wisconsin ''really'' that bad?
5* Azrael's big MotiveRant, in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9qAqwIW704 deleted scene]]. A [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct tour de force performance]] from Creator/JasonLee.
6-->'''Azrael''': Human, have you ever been to Hell? I think not. Did you know that once Hell was nothing more than [[TheNothingAfterDeath the absence of God]]? And if you've ever been in His presence, you'd realize that's punishment enough. But then [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters your kind came along...and made it so much worse]].\
7'''Bethany''': Humans aren't capable of one-hundredth of the evil a shit-bag demon like you is. ''(spits in Azrael's face)''\
8''(Azrael wipes spit off his face with TranquilFury)''\
9'''Azrael''': Evil... is an '''[[SuddenlyShouting ABSTRACT]]'''! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis It's a HUMAN. CONSTRUCT]].\
10''({{Beat}})''\
11'''Azrael''': But, [[NeverMyFault true to his irresponsible nature]], [[SomeoneElsesProblem man won't own up to being its engineer]], so he blames his dark deeds [[DemonicPossession on MY ilk]]. But it's not enough to shadow his own existence, no! He turned Hell [[FireAndBrimstoneHell into a suffering pit]]! Why? Because it is beyond your abilities to simply [[ThePenance make personal recompense for the sins you commit]]! No, you choose, rather, to create a psycho-drama, and dwell in a foundless belief that ''(whiny tone)'' "God could never forgive your grievous offenses"! ''(normally)'' So you bring your guilt and your inner decay ''with you'' to Hell, where the hoarded imaginations of so many gluttons for punishment gave birth to the sickness that has infected the Abyss since the first one of your kind arrived there, begging to be punished! And in doing so, they have transformed [[TheNothingAfterDeath the cold and solitude]] into [[FireAndBrimstoneHell pain and misery]]! I've spent eons, privy to the flames, inhaling the decay, hearing the wail of the damned! I KNOW WHAT EFFECT SUCH HORRORS HAVE '''[[VoiceOfTheLegion ON THE DELICATE PSYCHE]] ''[[FallenAngel OF AN ANGELIC BEING]]!'''''\
12''([[{{Beat}} long, poignant pause]]; Azrael tosses his Uzi to one of the Stygian Triplets)''\
13'''Azrael''': I'd rather ''not exist'' than go back to that. [[OmnicidalManiac And if everyone else has to go down with me]], ''so be it.''
14* Jay being kissed by God.
15* [[TheSilentBob Silent Bob]] gets a free shot at Azrael with a golf club that belonged to Cardinal Glick, and carried his blessing. Everyone except Serendipity expects nothing to come of it. The shot caves in Azrael's torso, leaving a mess of black bile in its place.
16-->'''Azrael''': But I'm a fucking ''demon''... ''(dies)''
17** Could also be considered a CMOA for Serendipity since she masterminded the plan and inspired Bob to grab the golf club. She figured that Glick would have blessed his clubs for a better game and predicted that Azrael would be cocky enough to give Bob a free shot.
18* Silent Bob defeating the Golgothan with a mini-air freshener.
19* Bartleby and Loki completely terrifying and demoralizing everyone in the Mooby boardroom before any violence even starts. Bartleby delivers a personalized verbal smackdown to each person, calling out their worst, most immoral actions, clearly enjoying himself. Loki drops a few hysterical one-liners, and shoots everyone in the room, except the one woman, who's done nothing wrong.
20* Jay and Silent Bob saving Bethany from the Stygian triplets.
21-->'''[[BigDamnHeroes SNOOCH TO THE MOTHAFUCKIN' NOOCH!]]'''
22* Silent Bob physically grabbing Loki and Bartleby and ''throwing them off a moving train''.
23* Behind-the-scenes example, shared on ''An Evening With Kevin Smith'': Before the shoot, Creator/KevinSmith told Creator/JasonMewes there was a higher level of professionalism expected out of him now that they were working with more seasoned actors like Creator/AlanRickman (Jason: "Who's Alan Rickman?" Kev: "The guy from ''Film/DieHard''." Jason: "Creator/BruceWillis?"). To Kevin's surprise, Jason showed up for production prepared with not only his own dialogue memorized, but ''the entire script''. Kevin even tested him out with random scenes and Mewes knew it all by heart. When Kev asked why Jason went through the trouble, he responded "I didn't want to piss off that Rickman dude!"
24** In a tribute podcast after Rickman's passing, Smith mentions that [[OddFriendship Mewes and Rickman got on like a house on fire during production]].
25* Metatron's under-reaction to God's [[YourHeadASplode explosive]] outburst, just putting a hand to his ear like he got a bit of tinnitus and getting a slight EyeTwitch. It's so perfectly in-character, not to mention [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments gut-bustingly hilarious]].
26* Even though it ends up becoming more of a TearJerker, the fact that (an incredibly drunk) Loki, despite spending the entire movie being a willing accomplice and then effectively [[ToxicFriendInfluence being bullied into continuing]] after Bartleby's VillainousBreakdown, was at least willing to try and fight Bartleby to stop him going through with his plans of killing Bethany and ending creation. Especially since, if the fight ''had'' gone ahead, there's absolutely no way Loki could possibly have won anyway.
