Awesome / Dungeons & Dragons (2000)

• Ridley running the Guild Maze. True, it's a blatant Indiana Jones ripoff, but it's still cool to see him clambering across swinging pendulums and dodging blasts of fire, and the music is appropriately cool. He even shows off at the end of said pendulum run, dismounting with a backflip and giving a bow to the spectators. It's also the part where Marina starts to warm up to him: she starts horrified that any minute she's going to watch someone die a gruesome death, but by the end she's gleefully cheering Ridley on.
• Snails' death. For those who can't stand him, it's a breath of relief to see him go. For those precious few who can, he may have died, but he went out swinging, refusing to submit to Damodar even as the evil mage soundly thrashes him. He then defies Hostage For Macguffin as he reveals he manged to snag the map from right under Damodar's nose, tossing it to Ridley and sealing his own fate, grinning as he does do.
• Marina getting her shining moment after spending most of the movie as The Load: with Snails dead and Damodar with his sword over Ridley's head, she manages to grab the magic powder Snails had swiped. She knocks Damodar on his ass with a single magic blast, opens a portal and drags the much bigger Ridley to safety.
• Any time Norda fights: at the bar fight and against Damodar's flunkies, nobody can get anywhere near her. The only time she loses is against Profion, who's so much more powerful than any of the party it's entirely understandable.
• Ridley's climactic fight with Damodar: the choreography isn't anything spectacular, but it's still Ridley savagely pounding away at the Evil Sorcerer who killed his best friend. It ends when Ridley takes advantage of a clumsy swing on Damodar's part to Tumble over his head: by the time Baldy McBlueLips realizes that he's lost sight of Ridley, the thief has shanked him with Snails's knife.
• Ridley cementing his Character Development and turn from greedy, ambitious thief to genuine hero when he overcomes the Rod of Savrille's lure and destroys it. He has everything he's ever wanted: he's holding one of the most powerful, valuable artifacts in Izmir, he's in control of an army of red dragons, and by the psychotic grin on his face, he looks to be seconds away from going off the deep end. But then he stops, shakes himself back to reality and glares daggers at Profion.
  Ridley: No...I WON'T BECOME YOU!
