Go To

  • Davy Crockett's Establishing Character Moment, where he kills a bear with only a knife and brings its meat back to feed the soldiers.
  • Davy's duel with Red Stick, convincing him to make peace with the government.
  • When the Army tries to force the volunteers to stay beyond their term of service, they just calmly walk through a group of armed soldiers.
  • Davy's shooting match with Big Foot, where he fires two shots so precisely the bullets end up in the same hole.
  • Davy beating Big Foot in a fight, helping Charlie Two Shirts get his land back.
  • After realizing Norton manipulated him, Davy punches him out, storms into Congress, and gives an epic speech denouncing the Indian Removal Act, even though it was political suicide. Though there's no sign in the historical record of a racist asshole being punched in the face, the speech was very much real, and the real David Crockett's speech was no less epic.
  • George successfully breaks Santa Anna's blockade to deliver a call for reinforcements and return with the response.
  • Every man at the Alamo volunteering to stay rather than run away.
  • George takes several shots and manages to fire a cannon at Santa Anna's soldiers one last time before dying.
  • Colonel Jim Bowie, sick and bedridden, fires two pistols at soldiers storming his room and kills a third with his knife.
  • The last shot of Davy, swinging Old Betsy at enemy soldiers.
  • Davy and George's Big Damn Heroes moment when Mike Fink's boat is attacked by outlaws pretending to be Native Americans.
  • Mike Fink shoots a cup off his own head by bouncing it off a pan that he can only see in a mirror.
  • Davy then tricks him by putting a bullet in his mouth and ricocheting another shot off several objects, making it appear that he caught it in his teeth.
