  • Big Bob's Heel–Face Turn. Even though it was motivated solely by greed, watching him go completely ballistic and beat the living snot out of Vermicelli is quite cathartic. Bob may have lost the first fight, but at the end of the movie, he corners the sniveling weasel and knocks him out with a final blow.
  • Helga finally confessing her true feelings to Arnold after spending so many years hiding them under a mask of hatred. Sure she takes it back after Scheck is arrested, but that doesn't make it any less awesome.
  • Arnold's Grandma is so determined to keep her home that she keeps breaking out of jail to do so. Her crowning moment comes at the climax of the film when she hijacks one of the bulldozers and uses it to destroy all the other ones, and she also sneakily stripped the wheels off of Scheck's car to stop him from escaping. Never Mess with Granny indeed.
  • Arnold, Gerald and Helga. Three nine-year-old kids (though they did have some outside help), are able to take down a multi-million dollar corporation and its evil CEO, while simultaneously saving their neighborhood from destruction and preventing hundreds of people from losing their homes and businesses.
  • Once Arnold finally motivates Murray upon hearing his ex-girlfriend getting his home torn down, his action is immediate response deserves a mention as he immediately shifts the bus sign to EXPRESS before stepping on the gas on his already decaying bus. He would be willing to jump a bascule bridge in the middle rising up, even for the ex-girlfriend who mocked him, just save the neighborhood.
  • The whole Ramp-rovisation moment during the climax of the series. Gerald even comments how it was Crazy Enough to Work before going through with it.
