* Kudos to the pilot of AV-81 for managing to flip his plane under a collapsing freeway and go face to face with a speeding big-rig, even if he didn't know he'd been duped into taking on John [=McClane=] by the BigBad.

And you know what? He survives accidentally taking on the BigGood of the franchise. Not many people can say that.

* In the first shootout, one of the mooks jumps down a floor and across an alley, then to the fire escape. Sorry, to the ''railing'' of the fire escape, then drops another floor to the next railing, and finally to the ground. John's speeding at him in a car and has to crash through a fence, so the guy scales the fence and ends up face to fence to windshield with John, and pulls his gun, only for John to sideswipe a dumpster to get the fence off the car and slam the guy into the dumpster. The guy gets up and walks it off. Friends, say hello to TheDragon.

* After [=McClane=] was shot, Lucy attempts to help her father, first by breaking free of Emerson's hold by shooting his foot with his own pistol from his hostler. With his gun dropped, Lucy slides it to John though Gabriel stops it at the last minute. While she fails, she gets points for trying.

* [=McClane=] gets kicked out of a window to a fall several stories high by Mai - so what does he do? He finds an SUV near where he landed, hops in, drives through the building, and ''runs Mai over with it, driving the both of them into an elevator shaft''. Welcome back, the John [=McClane=] we knew. The cinemas have missed you.
** From here, an extensive fight scene ensues, where both of them are trying to climb back up and knock each other to the bottom of the shaft, while the SUV slides down the shaft as the elevator cables can't hold it up for very long.
** This is also the point where Matt Farrell begins to TakeALevelInBadass, knocking a {{Mook}} into the shaft with a pipe while said Mook is busy shooting down at [=McClane=].
