1* In the climax to ''Jack Slater III'', when Dekker is yelling at Slater to stop during his first appearance, it normally sounds like the typical thing he does whenever he is on screen (unintelligible {{angrish}}). However, the look on his face and the stuff he's saying sounds more out of distress. Turns out this was because he knew Jack's son was one of the hostages and he was merely trying to keep Jack from being too emotionally involved in the situation.
2* The off-screen moment that Danny describes, where Jack saved Dekker, who generally does nothing but yell at him, from public humiliation.
3* Jack worrying about his ActionGirl daughter, and that she should be looking forward to prom, not field-stripping an AK-47...
4** After clearing out the villains from his ex-wife's house, Jack can be seen checking up on his daughter's bruised face. Later, once he finally gets the drop on Benedict, he literally tosses him through the wall for giving her that black eye.
5* Danny's mom bringing out Jack's more sensitive side, and Jack finds he enjoys having a genuine conversation with a woman for once.
6* When TheGrimReaper catches up with Danny and Jack, he proves despite a seemingly dismissive attitude he's more of a CreepyGood character than a villain. He even provides them with the hint they desperately need to save the dying Jack.
7* Jack's AsideGlance at the end. Normally, it would be LeaningOnTheFourthWall, but in ''this'' case, Jack ''knows'' there's a fourth wall and his glance is directed to a ''specific'' audience member, Danny.
