* When Dola attacks the airship to get the crystal, several crew members bravely fight back with a hastily-assembled Gatling gun and some clubs. The way the pirates bowl them over in a NoSale way is also pretty cool.
* A BadassBystander train engineer helps Pazu and Sheeta flee from the pirates. Then, during the CavalryBetrayal immediately afterward, he pulls a lever to blast a bunch of steam at the soldiers pursuing the heroes.

* After the opening credits sequence, when Sheeta falls from the sky (both scene and score piece are quite aptly titled "The Girl Who Fell From the Sky"), the original Japanese synthesizer score simply played normally with only a small difference in composition when the crystal around her neck activated and eased her to the ground, and whatever change there was wasn't even synched to the animation. What was supposed to be an incredible, spine-tingling moment is reduced to simply "huh, that happened". Not so with Joe Hisaishi's reworked orchestral accompaniment for the Disney dub, for when the crystal begins to glow, all music cuts out except for two notes from the trumpets... and then the crystal ''blossoms'' into a grand display of blue splendor, the cymbals kick in, the strings and horns blare, and you are simply left with one of the most beautiful moments ever put to film. Gkids' Blu-Ray/DVD reissue provides viewers with the opportunity to view the Disney dub with either score.[[note]]Though in a case of both playing favorites, and saving space, the Blu-Ray presents the dub with the extended score in lossless DTS-HD Master Audio, but compresses the dub with the Japanese score down to Dolby Digital.[[/note]]

%%* * The shirt-ripping scene. Pure, unadulterated, awesome.scene where one of Dola's pirate gang members ruins his shirt to show his muscles. Pazu's boss does likewise, showing he's equally strong. The two then duke it out with neither one breaking a sweat. Their fist hardly do anything when thrown into each others' bellies! Then, some of the boss's friend help with punching out the muscular pirate's accompanying fellows...followed by the whole town ganging up on the menacing trio. Now that's unity within a whole community.

* The seemingly dormant robot in Tedis Fortress comes alive thanks to a dazed uttering of a spell that Sheeta remembered from her grandmother. Crawling on hands and knees, it blasts the heck out of the entire structure, and keeps on advancing, not even taking a hit from the soldiers' attempts to stop him. Even when the canons on the fortress dents its armor, it still awakens and rips explosions in every direction. Until the Army's battleship ''Goliath'' shoots it down with one blast... at which point Sheeta realizes that the robot was trying to save her, not harm her.

The spell literally destroys the black dome containing the superweapons and its manmade walls.
