* When Ghost Dog discovers that mobsters killed all of his pigeons. Watching Ghost Dog survey the damage amidst dozens of bloody bird corpses is truly heartbreaking. When a single surviving pigeon shows itself, he is visibly touched. [[spoiler: The same pigeon lands next to him after he dies.]]
* When Italian gangster Louie is about to [[spoiler: shoot Ghost Dog]], Raymond is screaming at Louie in French (and he only speaks in French), insisting that [[spoiler: Ghost Dog's gun isn't loaded and that he poses no threat. [[LanguageBarrier Louie doesn't understand a word Raymond is saying]], and eventually shoots Ghost Dog ''twice''.]]
** After Ghost Dog [[spoiler: dies at Louie's hands]], Pearline [[spoiler: picks up his gun, points it at Louie, and pulls the trigger. The gun isn't loaded, so she can't avenge the death of her friend.]]
