1* Reggie's chainsaw fight against a graver in ''II''.
2-->[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtvZQKoC3vc "COME ON YOU MUTHA!"]]
3** Which is followed by him ''finally'' using his four-barreled shotgun to blast several of Tall Man's minions.
4* In the first movie, Mike making an exploding hammer out of a shotgun shell, thumbtack, and claw hammer and using it to blow a hole in a locked door so he can escape, and he's only thirteen years old.
5** Even better is the fact that he doesn't come up with it right away. He looks at the shotgun shell and puts it on the desk. Then he moves the hammer next to it, and then takes a thumbtack off the billboard in front of him, looks at them a few seconds and then assembles it. In most horror movies, you see the character come up with the idea and then quickly execute it. The awesomeness is that here, you can see the gears turn in Mike's head as he slowly puts things together to solve the problem he's in.
6* The Tall Man surviving a sphere attack, then pulling it off and ''crushing'' it with one hand. What it makes it funnier is that the Tall Man does it like he's crushing an aluminum beer can, it makes the same sound.
7* Reggie in ''III'' confronting the last surviving undead looter with a shotgun and Kipling quote:
8-->'''Reggie:''' [[Creator/RudyardKipling If you can keep your head when all about you...]] [[YourHeadASplode BANG!]]
9* Even though it had disastrous consequences for the entire world, it ''is'' pretty amazing how Jebediah Morningside, a man from the 19th century, managed to create a dimension traveling machine. It puts modern day technology to shame.
