He said he got irritable.
For such a silly premise, this movie really does know how to kick ass with the best of them.- Let's be frank, Killer Bean himself is basically a walking moment of awesome.
- Takes out 26 armed gang members in basically 2 minutes. While he had barely gotten any sleep.
- When a grenade is tossed his way, his response is to jump at the grenade, grab it in mid-air, basketball pass it under his leg and overhead dunk it right back to the sender. Most who watch the movie call this the single most badass thing in the whole flick.
- Manages to dodge several sniper rounds, as well as prove accurate enough to shoot the scope.
- Proves himself to be fast enough to beat Cromwell to the draw every time (Non-lethally, ironically)
- Takes out an entire warehouse (He just got a glass shard in his foot, mind you), before fighting 23 highly trained mercenaries with just as much effort as he took out the gang members
- Fought Jet Bean on equal footing. In hand to hand. The same guy who could literally rip a prison door off its hinges with his bare hands.
- He also shoots a bullet. No, not "Fires a bullet out of his gun". We mean he literally tosses an unused bullet in midair, and fires a shot at it, causing the unused bullet to go off to deal the finishing blow to Jet Bean.
- Last but not least he's also possibly dangerous enough to take on the entire Shadow Agency on his own.
- Detective Cromwell, despite being outshined by the rest of the badasses in the film, still has some impressive moments to him.
- He manages to pop two tires off of a moving vehicle Vagan was in by shooting them even though the vehicle was quite far from him.
- Confronting Killer Bean himself at the bar and ultimately getting into a standoff at the bar between Killer Bean and the bartender. The best part? Despite not firing a shot, he escapes the bar alive.
- Getting the entirety of the Beantown police to apprehend Killer Bean.
- Jet Bean is also a VERY huge badass.
- When an employee of a restaurant he ate at tried to get him killed for not paying his bill in months, he effortlessly knocks out the butcher sent to kill him and pins the bill to the wall with the butcher knife that the butcher had, intimidating the employee into letting him eat for free.
- He takes out the entirety of the Beantown Police Force without any guns.
- Kicking a police officer who was being racist to him. Bonus points for it being shown that he kicked him hard enough to hit a wall.
- Matching, yes MATCHING Killer Bean in hand to hand combat.
- When Cappuccino tells Vagan that he's fired, Vagan wastes no time in shooting the crime boss dead.
- The entire final fight between Killer Bean and Jet Bean. It's an awesomely solid display of hand to hand combat between two One Man Armies and the moves they pull on each other are nothing short of magnificent. It is a REALLY well-animated fight that emphasizes the blows they give to each other and has seamless transitions from ragdoll physics after being knocked down to getting back up for more, making it a particularly impressive fight in a movie already filled with very impressive fights.
- What further adds to it is that it's the first time that Killer Bean almost loses in a direct fight against his opponent. For the entirety of the movie, he's basically been able to mow down his enemies with ease, only losing once prior due to getting blindsided by Vagan's trick. Jet Bean by contrast forces him to his absolute limits as his opponent, since Jet Bean's fighting style is well-suited to counter Killer Bean's strengths (being too agile to easily hit and able to deflect bullets with his bracers). Thus Killer Bean has to change tactics and fight him with hand to hand (something that isn't his specialty) and even then he is barely able to keep up with the martial master. What ultimately helps him gain victory is not going guns blazing, but from instead having to out-think his opponent by exploiting Jet Bean's habits in order to redirect a bullet past his guard instead of just relying on his raw firepower.
