1!'''[[Film/FaceOff The film]]'''
2* A boat uses another boat as a ramp, and the ramp blows up behind it.
3* The entire boat chase.
4* The opening shootout at the airport.
5* Archer staging a prison break and escaping from Erehwon, up to and including the huge slow-motion leap into the ocean and swimming all the way to shore.
6* The shootout at the apartment between the FBI and Castor's gang. While everyone else freaks out, Dietrich [[NervesOfSteel calmly gets up and gets the weapons.]]
7** There is one random mook, easily distinguishable because of the white trousers he's wearing, who basically goes full on-protagonist in this scene, vaulting furniture, sliding across the floor, and blasting more cops away than the rest of the gang put together. Better still, [[UncertainDoom we never actually see him die]]. Man needs his own spinoff!
8* The final standoff at the church. Featuring the prerequisite DisturbedDoves, for extra RuleOfCool.
9* Castor Troy foiling his own EvilPlan by disarming Sinclair. With ''style.'' And then a topless woman shows up on the little monitor when he succeeds.
10* Castor [[DateRapeAverted delivering]] a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Jamie's boyfriend, before tossing his sorry ass over the car like the piece of garbage he is. Just think: Castor '''burned people alive''' because they were "evidence," but he won't stand by and let a DateRape happen.
11** Oh, and Castor's version of TheTalk is just the icing on the cake:
12-->'''Castor:''' While we're talking - do you have protection?
13-->'''Jaime:''' You mean, like, condoms?
14-->'''Castor:''' ''[whips out a '''pocket knife,''' in slow motion]'' Protection.
15** This paves the way for Jaime's Moment Of Awesome, when she pulls out '''a goddamned butterfly knife''' and shanks Castor at a critical moment. And does the trick ''he'' [[HoistByHisOwnPetard taught her]].

17!'''[[Series/FaceOff The reality show]]'''
18* Eric F and Kris's entry into the Giant Challenge - a twelve-foot tall monster with heads the size of a human torso, and the model reduced to tiny Jack in the giants' arms. Still one of the largest makeups ever seen on the show. It won hands-down.
19* The final designs for the Finale of each season, particularly Tate's post-apocalyptic Little Red Riding Hood in Season 1, Rayce's Sci-Fi Choreography from Season 2, Nicole's Water-based Good Witch and Demon performing action acrobatics in Season 3, Kris's Metal-based Ethereal Cirque du Soleil performance from Season 4, Laura's Renaissance swan and sorcerer ballet duo from Season 5, Tyler's Leo constellation alien duo from season 6, Drew's undead and living faun knights from season 7, Logan's {{Film/Guardians Of The Galaxy|2014}}-esque team from season 8, Nora's work for "The Prey" short film in season 9, Walter's pumpkin like-demon from season 10, Cig's kung fu fighters in season 11, and Andrew's mad scientist and his frankencreature in season 12.
20** The live-action combats, dance routines, and film shorts produced for various SeasonFinale episodes ''rock''.
21* Two from Episode 2 of Season 4:
22** Anthony managing to win the episode and get his character into a DC comic with his superhero makeup despite the catastrophic failure of his chestpiece to even ''come out of the mold'', just ''one hour'' before judgment time.
23** Michael's model performing an impromptu ''backflip, on stage, in costume''. Sure, the costume itself was in bottom looks and Michael wound up losing, but for a few glorious moments, that stunt clearly impressed everyone there, and made it look like a real potential superhero.
24* House's makeup for the Candy Challenge - "Sweet Tooth Susie", a girl who has a giant mouth on her belly. By ''sheer luck'', the model House chose was a belly-dancer, so she was able to make the mouth move.
25* Lyma's pregnant Mother Earth is beautiful and [[http://www.syfy.com/faceoff/photos/spotlight-challenge-mother-earth-goddess striking.]]
26* Rashaad's fire man robot, [[http://www.syfy.com/faceoff/photos/spotlight-challenge-industrial-revolution you won't believe it's not metal.]]
27* Dina's high-fashion Aphrodite with a fantastically gorgeous seashell headdress. [[http://www.syfy.com/faceoff/photos/spotlight-challenge-off-with-their-heads No wonder she got a unanimous win.]]
28* Darla's porcelain doll and Emily's ragdoll creations from the deadly dolls challenge look absolutely inhuman.
