  • "Relax Body"
  • Roy going into great detail about how he died. Including the coyotes making love to his skull. And Nick, fed up with Roy's cynical and insensitive attitude towards his suffering, suggested that it would be a good thing if they got both eyes.
  • "The Better Man", Jeff Bridges' country song, sung after Nick says the coyotes should have gotten both eyes. Played completely in the ending credits.
  • Nick getting a new mortal disguise...which turns out to be a pre-teen girl with braces and headgear.
  • Everything about Fat Elvis.
  • Roy hoping that a building has an elevator. When he gets inside and sees a thirty-flight staircase going up to the top...
    Roy: Shit!
  • "Honky tonk bullshit!"
  • After the reveal of the world-ending MacGuffin / Artifact of Doom, Roy asks the question that so rarely gets asked, "Why would someone MAKE something like that?!"
  • Roy giving the video maker the "I'm a woman, not a piece of meat" speech before flipping the card back in his face.
    • For context, RIPD officers appear as someone else to mortals and Roy (played by Jeff Bridges) looks like a sexy female model. The scene is made even funnier because the audience is actually treated to Jeff Bridges himself saying it instead of the actress playing his disguise.
  • Apparently the RIPD's guns, like the RIPD themselves, are disguised. We only ever see Nick's gun's disguise, which is a banana.
    • There IS a blink-and-you'll-miss-it Freeze-Frame Bonus, where we get a look at Roy's disguised gun, right after he rides Fat Elvis up the skyscraper and through a window via butt-harpoon; it turns out to be a bright orange hair-dryer.
  • When Roy treats Nick like a rookie, Nick complains that he's a 15-year veteran of the Boston Police Department. Then he encounters his first deado.
    Roy: You can bag this one. My treat.
    Nick: No... I'm not go-I'm not going near that.
    Roy: Where's that 15 years now, frosty?
  • When Hayes tells Julia the exact mechanics of his plan, he does his best to maintain a positive attitude.
    Okay... This is where it gets a little uncomfortable. There's no great way to say this, so I'll just say it. These ancient things, they often involve an element of - I don't want to say "human sacrifice", but - human sacrifice.
  • At the end of the film, when Roy is complaining about having 53 years added to his sentence, Proctor leans close to his face. It seems like she might kiss him, but she instead bites his goatee. It's bizarre, and the fact that Roy just seems to accept this makes it even funnier.
