Awesome / Cars 2

• For the sequel, Mater definitely Took a Level in Badass this time around, culminating in the scene where he deduces Axelrod's involvement and exposes him by forcing him to deactivate his own bomb.
  Mater: Okay, it's him! [points to Miles]
  Miles: What? Me? You've got to be crazy.
  Mater: I figured it out when I realized y'all attached this tickin' time bomb with Whitworth bolts. The same bolts that hold together that old British engine from the photograph. Holley, show that picture!
  Holley: Okay. [holographically shows said photo of the mysterious hood engine]
  Mater: And then I remembered what they said about old British Engines - "If there ain't no oil under 'em, there ain't no oil in 'em!"
  Miles: What is he talking about?
  Mater: It was you leakin' oil at the party in Japan! [flashback of Miles leaking oil, and blaming Mater] You just blamed it on me. [flashback ends]
  Miles: Electric cars don't use oil, you twit!
  Mater: Then you're fakin' it. You didn't convert to no electric. [realizing that he knows the truth, Miles backs away] We pop that hood, we gonna see that engine from that picture right there.
  Miles: [panicking] This lorry's crazy! He's gonna kill us all! [backs up to the edge of the stage] STAY AWAY!
  Holley: But Sir Axlerod created the race, Mater. Why would he want to hurt anyone?
  Mater: To make Allinol look bad so everybody would go back to usin' oil. I mean, he said it himself with that disguised voice.
  Miles: "Disguised voice"? What are you talking about?! YOU'RE NUTS, YOU ARE!
  Prince Wheeliam: This is going nowhere fast. We really should go, Grandmother.
  The Queen: One moment. I'd like to see where this is going. [bomb countdown reaches to 00:29.]
  Finn: Mater, he created Allinol.
  Mater: Yeah, but what if he found that huge oil field just as the world was tryin' to find something else? What if he came up with Allinol just to make alternative fuel look bad?
  Miles: [bomb countdown reaches 00:19, 00:18.] "What if"? You're basing this on a "what if"?!
  Security Guard: Okay, that's it! Lads, clear out! [the Queen and spectators evacuate]
  Miles: Wait, somebody save me! The lorry's crazy! KEEP AWAY, YOU IDIOT!
  Finn: Mater?!
  Holley: [the bomb countdown reaches 00:09, 00:08.] Mater!
  Miles: Someone, do something! [Mater stands his ground, glaring at Miles, while everyone braces for the explosion] YOU'RE INSANE, YOU ARE! [Bomb countdown 00:03, then 00:02. Axlerod shuts his eyes, screaming] DEACTIVATE!!!
  [Countdown stops at 00:01 before explosion, causing it to say "Voice Accepted"]
  Bomb Computer: Bomb deactivated. Have a nice day, Sir Axlerod. :) [Mater smiles in satisfaction. Axlerod is shocked at what he said, as police cars approach to arrest him. Mater pops open Axlerod's hood, revealing the mysterious V8 engine.]
  Finn: The engine from the photo.
  Holley: It's a perfect match. [brings up the image and does a match between Miles' and the blue one's]
  Miles: [last lines] How did the tow truck figure it out?
  Lightning: It's official, you’re coming to all my races from now on.
  Mater: Now you're talkin'!
• Pretty much any mention of Doc, but especially the new Hudson Hornet Piston Cup. Not to mention between the time of this and the first film, Lightning won 4 of them, including the Hudson Hornet Piston Cup as well.
• The scene where the residents of Radiator Springs basically curbstomps an entire army of the universe's equivalent of the Mafia.
  • That scene was pretty awesome, but the part that was the most awesome was definitely Sarge calling up an entire regiment of the British Army to take down the Lemons.
  Sarge: Thanks for the help, Corporal!
  Corporal: Anything for one of pop's mates.
  • Guido removing the mob hoods' wheels in mid-combat.
  Guido: "Pit Stop!"
  • In one part of the scene, Lightning, who understands perfectly well that these guys want him dead, shrinks as the Mooks come after him. Cue Mater jumping in front of him and taking on the four comers that attempt to jump his friend. And winning.
• Finn's battle against Professor Z and Tony Trihull on the River Thames. Especially Tony Trihull being blown to smithereens by Finn's bombs.
• Sarge saves McQueen by switching out the Allinol with Fillmore's organic fuel, thereby preventing the deathray from reacting with his engine. Properly Paranoid indeed.
• Mater escaping from Big Bentley by letting his gatling guns spool up until the ropes holding him break. Granted, the bad guys were counting on that.
• Pretty much all of the World Grand Prix scenes, especially the Tokyo ones. Watching the incredible start counts, too.
• The scene where Lightning receives his Hot Paint Job, complete with actual lights being fitted.
• McQueen beating Francesco in the Italy race. Apart from being a huge Catharsis Factor for McQueen, that was probably his finest moment as a racer.
• Darrel Cartrip admits he never saw anyone so good at backward driving as Mater: that rusty tow truck can still teach something to professional drivers.
• The entire beginning. From Turbo's message to Finn's Faking the Dead ruse.
• Finn twice fight with Lemons in Tokyo. Both time, he wins.
• Lemon Kingpin's speech, overlapping with Nightmare Fuel:
  Lemon Kingpin: They laughed at us, but now it's our turn to laugh back. Embrace your inner Lemon. Let it drive you. This was meant to be alternate fuel's greatest moment. After today, everyone will race back to gasoline and we, the owners of the largest untapped oil reserve, will become the most powerful cars in the world! They'll come to us and they'll have no choice, because they will need us. And, they will finally respect us. So, hold your hoods high. After today, you will never be ashamed of who you are. Long live Lemons!
• Redline: "Oh, you know, I am just wearing a disguise. But you guys are stuck looking like that!"
  • As Redline is being tortured to death, not once does he scream in, beg, or deliberately reveal anything that might endanger a civilian.
• Finn and Holly lie to Mater that they have enough time to escape the Death Trap so that he won't waste vital time saving them instead of Lightning. Fortunately, they escape on their own due to Holly's ingenuity.
• When Finn reveals himself, the Mooks say that he's supposed to be dead. He replies "Then this shouldn't hurt at all" and inflicts a Curb-Stomp Battle on them.
• Holly zaps the professor with an electrified net after he gloats about how he can't disarm the bomb that is endangering Mater.
