- The Hannibal Twin 8 is an awesome car. It can do almost anything you can think of, when driven by someone who's competent."Here comes the marines!"
- Speaking of the Hannibal Twin 8, consider the fact that, despite failing to outdo Leslie, Professor Fate is able to design and build cars, submarines and other equipment by himself that (mostly) work. And that's circa 1908. If he'd stop trying to undermine/outdo Leslie, he'd be rich. Also, even though Leslie deliberately threw the race, Fate and Max still complete a grueling, long-distance (20000 mile), cross-continent automobile endurance race with a car that he designed and built in his own garage. Leslie had to approach an automobile manufacturer and sell them on the idea of a long-distance endurance race in order to get his car. In other words, Leslie may be able to out-do Fate in performing daredevil stunts and set records, but Fate out-does him when it comes to equipment.
- In fact, earlier in the film, he makes a Bad Ass Boast to Leslie and Weber's board of directors that he'll build the greatest automobile in the world and win. And Fate actually does back that boast up in spades. Self-sabotage aside, the car apparently ran flawlessly apart from its thermometer getting frozen in Alaska and having to change a flat tire in France. If it weren't for Max's one navigational blunder, they would've actually won and were less than twenty seconds behind Leslie at the finish line. Win or lose, it's an accomplishment that cements their place in automotive history.
- The Great Leslie is made of awesome, of course.
- His sword duel with the Baron when the movie suddenly shifts to the swashbuckler genre. Being a Master Swordsman, he was well on his way to winning, had the Baron decided to stick around.
- Maggie trying to defend Hezekiah from the Baron by making herself into a Human Shield, invoking American constitutional rights and... singing.
- Also counts as a Funny Moment when, shortly after Hezekiah joins her you can see the Baron off to the side looking completely stumped.
- Leslie somehow wandering through a giant pie fight without getting a speck on him (for a while, at least).
