* Another one when Jordan finds out about the NBA talent steal. He directly confronts Swackhammer and demands that they up the ante of the deal: if the Looney Tunes win, not only does Swackhammer have to let them go, but he has to also restore the talents of the NBA players; however, if the Looney Tunes lose, Jordan is going to Moron Mountain with the Tunes. Swackhammer attempts to dissuade him by saying he's going to make Jordan's life miserable as part of his business venture, to which Jordan ''doesn't flinch'' and accepts the deal.

---> '''Bugs:''' Nice kaboom, Wile E.

--> "DAH DAH-DAH-DAH DAH-DAH DAH-DAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

--> "Whoa, whoa, whoa! [[CastingGag I didn't know]] Creator/DanAykroyd [[Film/Ghostbusters1984 was in this picture!]]"

--> '''Daffy:''' It's gut-check time! (shuffles his legs with the sound of a ''cocking shotgun'')

** In a smaller moment, there's Stan immediately deciding to help Michael save the Looney Tunes once he discovers him teaching them to play basketball. The fact that he shrugs off the weirdness and doesn't hesitate a second to assist however he can prove his courage long before he gets on the court.
* Meta-example: To have Jordan in the film, Creator/WarnerBros provided the Jordan Dome, a cutting-edge basketball court and training facility that Michael would use during the film's shooting so his scenes could have proper Jordan-level verisimilitude. He was below his normal inhuman standard when coming out of retirement, [[HesBack but he would come back from the film to lead the Bulls to their legendary 72-10 season and their fourth championship.]]

** As the second half of the game begins (after the Toon Squad have drank Michael's "secret stuff") Bang, the green and easily the meanest of the Mon-Stars, growls at Daffy. What does Daffy do? Basically head butt Bang and growls right back.

** WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck reverting to his original CrazyAwesome mode and setting off an angry bull on one of the Mon-Stars.

** Before the second half, Lola manages to score one of the only two baskets in the otherwise one-sided first half after Pound calls her [[BerserkButton "doll"]]. She does this by repeatedly kicking his face in before leaping up and scoring the basket.

** Then, when Bupkis (the purple Mon-Star who fell victim to the trap) grabs Wile E. to pound him into the ground, Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam promptly shoot out his teeth, [[Film/PulpFiction dressed in badass suits and sunglasses as "Misirlou" plays]].

* At the end of the first half, when the Looney Tunes are facing their DarkestHour and find themselves near tears, Stan pauses for a moment...and sneaks into the Monstars' locker room, where he eavesdrops on the team and discovers that they stole the talent from NBA players. Swackhammer [[TheNoseKnows sniffs him out]] and finds him, leading to a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, but think about it for a second. Stan--the FatComicRelief who the Looney Tunes have endlessly mocked throughout the whole adventure, who is so bad that Michael Jordan picks a mouse over him for the game--slipped into a room full of ''giant monsters'' to try and help them. And the information he gathers solves the mystery behind the drained players, inspires Bugs to come up with the "Secret Stuff" plan, ''and'' encourages Michael to make a personal bet with Swackhammer to recover his friends' talent. Stan didn't owe anyone anything, but he still risked his life (he didn't know that injuries aren't permanent in Looney Tune Land) to help a group of cartoon characters he barely knew and treated him with contempt. That is the ''definition'' of BadassNormal.

Swackhammer attempts to dissuade him by saying he's going to make Jordan's life miserable as part of his business venture, to which Jordan ''doesn't flinch'' and undauntingly accepts the deal. Considering how much of a badass he is in real life, the writers probably aren't stretching his character too far from reality (although the real Jordan would likely be a bit smarter and listen to Bugs' advice).

* The Mon-Stars get one at the end of the film. After they lose the basketball game (thanks to Michael Jordon abruptly learning Toon Physics), Swackhammer [[BullyingADragon repeatedly berates and insults the aliens-turned-monsters and makes threats about what he's going to do to them when they get back to Moron Mountain]]. Michael asks the Mon-Stars why on earth they ''take'' this from Swackhammer, and the Mon-Stars reply that it's because Swackhammer is ''bigger''...than they ''[[EurekaMoment used]]'' to be! [[MookFaceTurn They turn on Swackhammer and send him back to Moron Mountain alone.]]

* When [[spoiler:Creator/BillMurray]], of all people, shows up near the end for the BigDamnHeroes moment.

** Specifically, [[spoiler: when Stan survives getting squished and is inflated like a balloon, much like a cartoon character, Michael questions Bugs, and Bugs explains that ''everyone'' can do that, even MJ. Bugs and Daffy prove it, saying it's "Looney Toon Land." Michael then proceeds to exploit ToonPhysics to make a massive leap in the air, and when two Monstars try to slow him down, he proceeds to stretch his arm to make the dunk.]]
