2* Agent Matheson not only recovering from being shot four times in the chest by Travers, he then proceeds to kill the traitor co-pilot, shoot one of Qualen's men in the other airplane with a Mini Uzi that are notoriously inaccurate, shoot up the jet's cockpit that causes it to crash moments later and the cases with the money to fall to the earth below, and if not for a time bomb Travers planted on the Treasury airplane killing him in a giant explosion, it's heavily implied Matheson would have finished off Qualen.
3* Gabe grabbing Kynette by the...unmentionables and chest and impaling him on a large stalactite, awesome!
4* Hal, to the Treasury agents after Qualen's crashed, on top of him. Also a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}.
5--> '''Hal''': If you're looking for Mr. Qualen, try about 4,000 feet south of here. He'll be the one wearing the helicopter.
6** For another Hal moment, you need just three simple words: '''''[[PreMortemOneLiner "SEASON'S OVER, ASSHOLE!"]]'''''
7* Jessie gets a heavily PlayedWith one. In a time when the damsel would stand around and do nothing while the hero would be fighting to save both of their lives, Jessie picks up the discarded a machine gun, tried to kill Kynette, but the gun just uselessly clicks. Kynette with a mouth full of blood stops his NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of Gabe, and quips, "No bullets bitch". Some might assume Jessie accomplished nothing, however Kynette only gets killed after gloating about how after killing Gabe, he will do unmentionable things to Jessie. Maybe Kynette was going to do that regardless, but it is possible Jessie messed him up into a TMI moment or just made him so angry that he wanted horrific vengeance … which got him hoisted by his own petard... into a stalactite.
8* Travers telling Qualen off over the walkie talkie.
9* Gabe and one of Qualen's mooks get into a fight while sliding down a slope. When Gabe gets the upper hand, he uses the mook like a sled and pushes his face into the passing snow, scratching it up pretty bad.
10* The final fight between Gabe and Qualen, which takes place on a damaged helicopter hanging off the side of a cliff.
11-->'''Gabe:''' Remember, shithead! Keep your arms and legs in the vehicle at all times!
12* Sarah's fall at the beginning is filmed by having her actress wear oversized gloves filled with Vaseline, and they still had difficulties making her fall. Stallone's grip is that strong.
