  • The filming of the battle scene at the Sydney Opera House has stunt double Colt dishing out awesome action hero fight moves while keeping the camera from getting too good a look at his face and looking perfectly natural doing it, finishing the whole scene in one afternoon.
  • Colt beating up goons at a club while drugged
  • Colt, attack dog Jean-Claude, and Alma (using a water bottle) all fight back well against a group of kidnappers while careening down the road in a truck.
  • Colt and Dan fight off a group of armed mercenaries with just their fists, a prop tomahawk, and a gun loaded with blanks.
  • When some goons try to burn Colt alive, he catches some of the gasoline they are pouring on him in his mouth, spits it out as they get out their torch, lighting their leader on fire, then runs for it and drives off in a boat despite his hands being tied behind his back.
  • Colt does the longest car jump in history, with explosions going off and a panicking Ryder inside the car to scare Ryder into an Engineered Public Confession (and since he is the one wearing the wire, claiming entrapment is a lot harder for him).
  • Dan, Jean-Claude, and a lot of other stunt men and crew members take on an army of goons and wipe the floor with them with a mixture of athleticism and a willingness to use pulleys and other stunt devices in a Combat Pragmatism manner.
  • When Ryder and Gail try to flee with the evidence in a helicopter, Colt grabs one of the skids, climbs in to get the evidence back after a long fight, and then lets himself fall dozens of feet into a giant air mattress his friends have waiting for him. But not before flipping off Gail and Ryder.
