  • Harley deciding to completely break ties with the Joker after realizing how much of a toxic influence he was on her. And she does it in style by blowing up the Ace Chemical reactor where it all began.
    Harley: This is where it all began, Puddin'! You motherfucker!
  • The simple and brutal fight choreographies. Not so surprising considering one of the John Wick directors, Chad Stahelski, helped crafting and directing them.
  • Harley gets to show off more of her acrobatic skills that she puts to use not only when running for her life but also when knocking people out. She even manages to do a flip so she kicks her phone and hits Renee square in the forehead.
  • After a night of drinking, Harley gets "picked up" by some ill-intentioned goons, and Dinah, her partner for the evening who is about to head on back, decides "screw this" and decides to kick the goons' asses all over the place in order to help her out.
  • Renee showing off her skills as a detective as she looks at the crime scene and manages to deduce Helena's intentions, but also that the killer was a woman whereas her current partner got everything wrong.
  • Harley attacking the GCPD headquarters all on her own, making creative use of both her Flashball gun and an aluminum baseball bat as she goes.
    • She also manages to take down a room of guys nursing grudges against her by using her surroundings and taking them out with some impressive moves. She does the same to Roman's men who try to take Cassandra.
  • The Final Battle, where the makeshift Amazon Brigade shows what it's capable of against the dozens of mooks Black Mask gathered against them. They are able to put aside their differences and the awkward way they've been brought together and kick major ass.
    • Huntress effortlessly vaults over a mook following her down the slide, lands on top of him and proceeds to stab him repeatedly in the chest.
    • Harley perfectly times a throw of her mallet and its head lands straight in the face of a masked mook.
    • Black Canary finally unleashing her Canary Cry to disperse Black Mask’s mooks when the team runs out of ammo is a sight to behold.
      • Also, let's hear it for Dinah taking out a bunch of mooks while tying back her hair.
  • The Chase - Harley on rollers + Huntress on her bike vs Black Mask and his mooks in cars. Harley and Huntress win.
  • How Harley and Cassandra dispose of Roman:
    Cassandra: I took your ring.
    Harley: (confused) My ring?
    Cassandra: (pulls out a grenade pin on his ring finger before shoving Roman off her)
    Harley: (realizes what Cassandra meant, before she rushes to throw Roman over the pier before the grenade detonates, where he explodes into bloody chunks before hitting the water)
  • The shot of Helena riding and stabbing a mook to death as they both tumble down a slide. How did they achieve this shot? The camera operator was sliding down with them, and the cut to black was when both actors slammed into him.
