1* “The Mystery of the Lizard Men.” Jonny manages to deftly judo throw two Lizard Men in rapid succession and proceeds to take out more of them as the episode goes on.
2* “Arctic Splashdown.” The way Benton Quest knocks around the enemy Submarine Captain and his subordinate to escape the missile he set to explode is an early indicator that [[BadassBookworm he isn’t going to be just some pencil pusher]].
3* “Riddle of the Gold.” Bandit saves the entire team by extinguishing a flaming trail of gun powder set to blow everyone up by sitting on it. Dr. Quest, who had previously disagreed with Bandit going on the trip, immediately states Bandit can go with them everywhere for now on.
4* "The Robot Spy." Imagine an episode that begins with the ultimate in 1960s terror with Dr. Zin's spider like robot sneaking about, attacking any sentry in its way through the dead of night. Then when it is discovered, the episode changes to the wildest animated fight sequence in all of 1960s TV as the good guys furiously throw everything at the spider robot and [[TheJuggernaut it just keeps on going!]] Best of all, the episode avoids almost all the series' otherwise outdated and embarrassing ethnic stereotypes with a futuristic story that still feels reasonably believable today.
5* A similar moment happens in “Turu the Terrible” where Race and Benton face off (in jet packs) against the giant ''Pteranodon'' Turu who can take a bazooka round to the chest and barely slow its flight.
6* In "Werewolf of the Timberlands", the gold smuggler goes into his werewolf disguise and is about to attack Dr. Quest and Race from a bush, but he is soon foiled by [[NobleWolf Gray One]], who gives him a good mauling and then pushes him into a river after a hot pursuit.
7* “The Fraudulent Volcano.” The way Jonny and Hadji sneak into the base, take out a mook, and then use his unconscious body to man a buggy to ram Race and Benton’s captors has to be seen to believed just for its sheer audacity.
8* In "Monster in the Monastery", an OffscreenMomentOfAwesome involves an platoon of terrorists dressed as yetis getting [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped]] by a ''real'' yeti, despite being heavily armed. We only see one man get grabbed and Race revealing the aftermath, which makes it look like a storm had blown through with bodies and debris thrown about everywhere. The last scene of the episode has the yeti letting out a victorious shriek before returning to its home in the mountains.
9-->'''Race''': What would you call ''that'', Dr. Quest?\
10'''Dr. Quest''': I see it, but I hardly dare believe it!\
11'''Raj Guru''': You can believe it, Dr. Quest. The yeti have taken vengeance into their own hands.
