Line #7 Awesome/TheRocketeer


1	!! The 1991 Film
2	* At the climax, when Cliff puts the helmet back on and is about to launch into the sky someone shines a spotlight on him. Of course it doesn't hurt that the American flag is right behind him.
3	** "Look! It's the Rocketeer!"
4	* Cliff has brought the jetpack to trade for Jenny's life, and he has a question.
5	--> '''Cliff''': What's it like working for a Nazi, Eddie? Does he pay you in dollars or deutschmarks?\
6	[...]\
7	'''Neville:''' C'mon, Eddie. I'm paying you well. Does it matter who I work for?\
8	'''Eddie:''' It matters to ''me''. [[EvenEvilHasStandards I may not make an honest buck, but I'm 100% American]] and I don't work for no two-bit Nazi. Now let her go.
9	** The mobsters proceed to cooperate with federal agents to defeat the Germans that show up.
10	-->'''Eddie''': Lousy Krauts! Let 'em have it!
11	* [[BigDamnHeroes THIS IS THE FBI! THROW DOWN YOUR GUNS!]]
12	* In the middle of the opening car chase, random {{Mook}} Wilmer gets a good IndyPloy. He manages to swap the rocket for a vacuum cleaner, then puts a crate on the car's gas pedal to make it crash and explode (being badly injured in the process), causing the cops to think the device has been destroyed.
13	* Eddie doesn't flinch when Neville holds him at sword point during some tense negotiations and demands a pay raise.
14	* Cliff's debut as the Rocketeer, saving his friend Malcolm at the airshow. And afterwards, he soars through the sky near an airplane, amazing all the people on board.
15	* Neville does an impressive bit of acrobatics during the swashbuckler film shooting at the beginning.
16	* Jenny, an actress, gets kidnapped and actively seduced by [[BrokenPedestal her idol]]. She handles the situation pretty well.
17	-->'''Jenny''' (after luring him in close so she could [[TapOnTheHead brain him with a vase]]): I finally played a scene with Neville Sinclair.
18	** Jenny seeing through her idol Sinclair's sinister attempts to seduce her with lines from his old movies.
19	* Neville gets a minor one:
20	-->''(Cliff decks Neville)''
21	-->'''Cliff:''' Where's your stuntman ''now'', Sinclair?
22	-->''(Neville blocks the next hit and strikes him back)''
23	-->'''Neville:''' [[NoSell I do my own stunts]].
24	* How does Cliff finally defeat Neville? He ''gives him the jetpack'', after removing [[ChekhovsGun the good luck gum that's plugging the leak in the fuel tank]].
25	* While the movie flamed out at the box office, its CultClassic status has held up well-enough that Joe Johnston earned directorial duties on another [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger retro adventure blockbuster]] virtually on the merits of this film alone, especially since they share similar traits (even down to StupidJetpackHitler tropes).
26	** Not only that, but it was revealed on July 28, 2016, that it was ''finally'' getting a sequel.
27	* Cliff gets away from Howard Hughes and the FBI by riding a scale model of the (not yet built) Spruce Goose, to which Hughes says with a smile "The son of a bitch ''will'' fly!"
28	* Lothar blazing away at the cops, GunsAkimbo, as they form a firing line and return fire with machine guns.
29	* Jenny breaks a vase over GiantMook Lothar's head while he's fighting Cliff.
30	* Eddie's henchmen holding Lothar at gunpoint without being ordered to upon hearing that he and Sinclair are Nazis.
31	----
32	!! The 2019 Creator/DisneyJunior Series
33	* "Skyway Robbery" shows how great of a hero Kit is even without the rocket pack. She plays into Sylvester Slapdash's unfamiliarity with how to fly it, and he ends up crashing into a hay bale, and she gets the money back.
