1* Quite a few, but a very subtle one is a confrontation midway into the film between Jake and Tyree in Stella's bar. Despite having his eyes locked on Tyree in an epic stare-down, Jake is fully aware of Tyree's two goons ready to go for their guns behind him. And he ''lets them know it''.
2--> '''Jake''': What's the matter, Paden? You afraid I couldn't get those two behind me?
3* Emmett's EstablishingCharacterMoment is being ambushed in his rickety old shack, only to use tactics and intelligence to shoot down all of his attackers without ever seeing any of them face to face.
4* Paden after numerous comedic moments (he is played by Kevin Kline), finally acquires a busted down revolver and goes to confront the man who stole his horse as well as left him for dead. Standing there as he loads the gun, he is almost shot several times (including nearly suffering a GroinAttack) before gunning down his opponent in one shot.
5* Mal effortlessly deals with a bar full of racist cowboys who want to kill him just for trying to rent a room as well as buy a bottle of whiskey. Of special note is when he manages to stop himself from being stabbed by a broken whiskey bottle with an incredibly tacky bronze statue.
6* As the townsfolk rush out to fight the fire in the land office, Stella (all four and a half feet of her) calmly directs the firefighting effort, giving orders to men twice her size.
