* An injured Firefly tries to set off one of his firefly bombs on Roadblock after their second fight...[[spoiler:but Roadblock took his detonator. He holds it up as if to say "Not this time" and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard blows Firefly up with his own bomb]].]]

* [[spoiler: Storm Shadow]] becoming TheMole. An epic story of redemption (that, luckily, [[AvertedTrope doesn't]] [[RedemptionEqualsDeath end in death]]).
** His killing of [[spoiler:Zartan]] also qualifies, [[spoiler: with Storm Shadow slicing a bullet in two, ''at close range'', and throwing the sword that he used right at Zartan.]]
* During the climax, some bald COBRA Guards in a bunker keeping an eye on the President overhear the battle outside, so one of them decides to go check it out. After a moment and some gunfire, his lifeless body is tossed back down the stairs, startling the others. [[spoiler: Said body turns out to actually be Colton, who proceeds to gun down the guards, catching them completely off guard.]]
* Snake Eyes and [[spoiler:Storm Shadow]]'s BackToBackBadasses moment in the final battle.

* Joe Colton's arsenal reveal is just epic. Every single surface of his house is covered in weapons... including a tank in the garage.

* [[spoiler: Storm Shadow]] becoming the ReverseMole. An epic story of redemption (that, luckily, [[AvertedTrope doesn't]] [[RedemptionEqualsDeath end in death]]).

** ... which leads to Snake Eyes firing his Uzi at Storm Shadow from ''really'' close range, which Storm Shadow avoids by doing a cool wallflip. The bullets may be faster than ninja shuriken, but they are ''not'' faster than a ninja.

* Small moment when Roadblock, Flint, and Lady Jaye were hiding from the COBRA soldiers in a well. After checking to see if anyone was inside and finding nothing (the Joes were hidden under the water), one of the soldiers [[GenreSavvy goes ahead and fires a round into the water just to be sure]]. Pure luck that he didn't hit them.

* [[spoiler: Storm Shadow]] becoming the ReverseMole. An epic story of redemption (that, luckily, [[RedemptionEqualsDeath doesn't end in death]]).

* Storm Shadow flings several shuriken at Snake Eyes...only for him to shoot them out with an Uzi. And if the slow-motion is to be believed, he only needed one bullet per shuriken. Accuracy AND controlled burst.

** The warden manages to get a few by electrocuting Storm Shadow by defibrillating the wet floor he's standing on and later his last act before dying is shooting the gas pipe causing the explosion that injures Snake Eyes.

** which leads to Snake Eyes firing his Uzi at Storm Shadow real close, and Stormy avoids it by doing a col wallflip. The bullets may be faster than ninja shuriken, but they are not faster than a ninja.

After checking to see if anyone is inside, and finding nothing (the Joes hidden under the water), he goes ahead and fires a round into the water just to be sure. Pure luck that he didn't hit them. The villains are a bit smarter in this film.
