Funny / The Old Guard

Go To

  • Joe and Nicky treating their kidnapping like an extended vacation, marveling at the sweet plane they get to ride in.
    Nicky: There's a TV, Joe!
    Joe: Champagne?
    • One which has solid overlap with Moments of Awesome. Joe and Nicky have a rather romantic declaration and kiss while still in the van, a moment which the soldiers abruptly kill by yanking them apart. Cut to the van arriving at the airport, the guards opening it up... and five dead soldiers tumbling out, with Joe and Nicky sitting there calmly.
    Keane: Get 'em on the plane NOW!
    • Just the way the guards listen dumbfounded to Joe's eloquent declaration of love, then all pile in simultaneously to pull Joe and Nicky apart when they start kissing.
    • Even better, Joe and Nicky actually kiss for several moments while the guards just stare at each other with these looks that just scream "ummm...what are we supposed to do right now?" before they dogpile them.
  • During their first encounter, Joe headbutts Merrick. Later on, when Andy tells him to "get closer I'll tell you...", it's clear he remembers and thinks better of it.
  • After Andy and Booker leave from their initial meeting with Copley, he looks around, spots Nicky performing overwatch with a sniper rifle, and cheerfully smiles and waves at him.
  • Nile crying out "SHIIIIT!" as she tackles Merrick out a window and they fall onto a car on the street below.
  • During the credits, we see parts of Copley's research into the team. One of them is a drawing of the Napoleonic War featuring a soldier chugging from a bottle with "Booker?" written next to it.
