Awesome / Jack the Giant Slayer

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.


  • Jack near-singlehandedly slays 3 giants throughout the movie. The first he killed by jabbing the giant's OWN knife into his spine, and when the giant backed into the wall, finished the job. He killed the next giant by putting bees in his helmet while he was near the edge of the giant realm, causing him to fall off, and he kills Fallon by throwing the last bean down his throat, which results in the beanstalk bursting out FROM INSIDE HIM!.
  • Elmont's fight with Roderick, which leads to Elmont nearly getting pushed to his death. However:
    Roderick: Did you really think you were the hero of this story? Don't you know we all think that?
    (he tries to stab Elmont's hand, but he takes the blade and stabs his own hand, which goes through Roderick's foot)
    Elmont: I may not be the hero of this story, but at least I get to see how it ends!
    • Earlier in the fight, he was pushed underwater. He spots the knife he dropped earlier, grabs it in his mouth and then forces himself up, using the knife to slash Roderick across the face. Behold the reason Elmont became a Guardian; he pulls impossible stunts like this and makes them look more badass than they are in the imagination.
  • Points have to be given to Anser, Jack's horse; he might have just been raised as a carthorse, but not only does he independently find his way home a couple of days after being sold, but subsequently manages to keep up with and outpace trained warhorses when the giants return and Jack has to warn the king and Isabelle before they're caught off-guard.
  • One has to give points to Fallon for his persistency. Despite falling into the fire moat and becoming scarred, he managed to swim through the aquaduct/sewer system underneath the castle and bursting through the floor to get at the princess.
  • The giants are breaking into the castle, and the guards are standing ready. The King is standing ready beside Elmont, and Elmont asks him to leave. The King's response? "Like hell!" And the King instantly became more badass than he already was.
  • You gotta give the Giants credit for their creativity during combat; They are seen using church bells, burning trees, and even windmill blades as weapons/ammo.
