  • Daveed manages to fight off the Duchamps when they ambush him in the bathroom, taking only a stab wound and owning them with everything from their surroundings to a skateboard he rips from one's hand, leaving the three of them knocked out in a bathroom.
  • Daveed standing in Syd's way when he tries to shoot Reba. Despite having lost two fingers, he's still consistently brave.
  • Credit must be given to every single human who survives the bear's rampage, including two literal children.
  • And, of course, the main star of the show: The Cocaine Bear.
    • The fact that the bear eats bricks of cocaine and lives is utter Rule of Cool, but it speaks a lot as to its tenacity and how Made of Iron it is.
    • The bear manages to shrug off pretty much any injury it's struck with, tanking everything its foes throw at it and ripping humans apart without effort.
    • The bear shows its tenacity and intelligence by maneuvering around the people within the Ranger's habitat, brutalizing two and managing to wound the third before hiding out in the bathroom.
    • The scene of the bear madly pursuing an ambulance with three people in it, one armed with a gun— never letting up and managing to make a flying leap into the open doors before killing everyone within; there's a reason its massive leap was the Money Shot of the trailers, and the bear wanders off as though such a massacre was nothing.
    • When Syd White threatens its cubs, it enters full Mama Bear mode and lunges at him. Though White manages to send it flying onto the rocks below, he makes the mistake of shaking the bag— causing the bear a cocaine-induced Heroic Second Wind. The bear, resurrected from near death, climbs the rocks to protect its cubs and disembowels White, leaving the protagonists be.
    • The bear survives. Whereas the real bear died of cocaine overdose, the Cocaine Bear in the film is Spared by the Adaptation and scores a complete victory, driving everyone from its territory, keeping its cocaine, and the last we see of it is it preparing to attack a group of hapless recorders— alongside its cubs, who've also miraculously survived ingesting cocaine.
