!!The film:

* The prison riot that follows the opening scene has some decently intense gunplay. It helps that rather than have Ben be a OneManArmy, his friend Laughlin and a RedShirt prisoner named Chico also get some good action moments.
* Ben Richards give a classic hero speech to a trapped Dynamo.
-->'''Richards:''' No. I won't kill a helpless human being. Not even sadistic scum... like you.
* His response to Killian's offer of a contract as a network stalker is also pretty impressive:
-->''(Having wrenched a camera off the wall)'' You cold-blooded bastard! I'll tell you what I think of it; I'll live to see you eat that contract! But I hope you leave enough room for ''my fist'', because I'm going to '''ram it into your stomach''' '''''and break your goddamn spine!''''' ''(smashes the camera)''
** [[https://youtu.be/EYoBrhlTX1Q?si=90XLUhlyZNkOshqr&t=359 Cinema Sins]] actually ''took off a sin point'' for this line.
** [[OhCrap Killian’s face]] after this line is priceless.
* Ben Richards winning the once hostile crowd over to the point of betting on him to win the contest.
-->'''Old Lady:''' "I choose... Ben Richards! That boy is a mean [[PrecisionFStrike motherfucker!]]"
* Killian's an evil bastard, but he actually has a good comeback to Arnold's [[Film/TheTerminator most famous one-liner]]:
-->'''Richards:''' I'll be back.\\
'''Killian:''' ''(smiles)'' Only in a rerun.
* Captain Freedom telling off Killian and refusing to go against Richards with an unfair advantage.
* [[LargeHam Dynamo]]'s introduction, where he sings an opera aria and uses his LightningGun to [[MundaneUtility power a neon sign]] saying, "Clap if you love DYNAMO!" The actor, Erland Van Lidth De Jeude, [[TheCastShowoff did the singing himself]].
* "KILLIAN IS LYING TO YOU."
* "[[IronicEcho Hello, cutie pie. One of us is in big trouble]]!"
* Richards sending Killian crashing through a billboard sign and blowing him up followed by the BondOneLiner: "Well, that hit the spot."
* Amber's fight with the armed, trained stalker Dynamo, particularly when she gives him a GroinAttack.

!!The book:

* It may be ''painfully'' HarsherInHindsight after 9/11, but Richards not only flying a plane into the network's building but ''directly into the Big Bad's office while flipping him off from the cockpit'' is one of the best hero deaths ever.
