History Awesome / AbrahamLincolnVampireHunter

* Abe versus Barnes, round 2.

** After tumbling down a cliff, Barnes grabs Abe's ax and tries to split Abe's skull. Abe dodges, grabs the ax- ''and reveals a '''hidden gun'''''. Then he shoots Barnes' other eye out.

* On the villainous side, the entirety of Adam's "offer" to Abe, during which he not-so-subtly hints that Henri [[spoiler: is a vampire.]]\\

* Reading below, it was cool that Abe was able to get some closure [[spoiler: 100 years later]] in the book. But in the movie, it was also cool that when Henri offered to turn him into a vampire, so they could continue the hunt forever, Abe ''turned him down''.

--> '''Henri:''' And remember: always have a contingency plan.

* Abe's father gets a rather understated moment in the beginning. When slavers come to take Abe's friend Will away, Abe's father punches one of them into the river. Barnes fires him and demands he pay a debt he was working off. Abe's father says, full of TranquilFury...
--> '''Mr. Lincoln:''' You get another penny from me, Mister Barnes, it will come with a fist, wrapped around it.

* After losing his musket ball and seeing the body of Barnes' last victim, Abe still manages to load his pistol and shoot Barnes in the eye ''just'' as he opens the door.
** After Barnes gets back up (because he's a vampire), he starts ''shredding'' Abe. Then Henri appears in the background. He grabs Barnes and flips him over, breaking the dock their standing on, then chucks him up the side of the nearby building. Barnes hits the wall, bounces off, then keeps going ''up'', digging a gouge out of the side, until finally he disappears over the roof in a spray of wood.

* Abe gets several while training with Henri:
** With some goading from Henri (re, being told basic truths that he had long denied), Abe manages to chop down a tree. With a single swing of his ax. That is by his own words, at least a foot thick.

** At one point, Henri challenges Abe to fight him in a darkened room. The screen is completely black. We hear the sound of Abe getting his ass kicked, and then the door opens back up, and we see Henri kneeling with the ax, looking almost feral, while Abe is bloody on the floor. His response?

** Barnes recognizing his opponent by his ''smell''.
---> '''Barnes:''' Abraham ''[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]]'' Lincoln!
** They fight in the middle of a horse stampede, and Abe maneuvers- while pinned down- so that Barnes gets kicked in the face by an equine.
** Then Barnes gets up, grabs a horse, and ''throws'' it at Lincoln.
*** Which Abe tops by literally rolling with the hit and gets up ''riding the horse''. He charges straight at Barnes while leaning over towards the ground and grabbing his ax.

* After Abe kills Barnes, Adam and Verdona find out his identity. They kidnap Will and send Abe an invitation to a ball. Abe, for his part, recruits his boss/friend Speed to help, and they head south. Once there, Abe crashes the party and murders ''every fucking vampire'' in the room in a glorious slo-mo battle that looks at least as good as the one from 300. The [[{{Gorn}} gratuitous blood sprays]] are beautiful, and the scene is fairly clever in its choreography. Of note, some of the blood remains on the floor, and factors into the ''next'' moment of awesome-

* Speed ''literally'' crashes the party with a horse drawn carriage when Abe gets pinned down by Verdona, and the wheels slide on the blood to smash her aside.

* Abe realizes vampires are fighting for the south and has a slight Heroic [=BSOD=]. It doesn't help that Verdona [[TearJerker killed his son]] the same way Barnes killed his mother. He's complaining to Mary about how their weapons aren't working, he compares them to his fork- [[EurekaMoment and then he realizes his fork is made of silver.]] Which is deadly to vampires. You can ''see'' the gears start turning, his mind working, and then he jumps out of his seat and runs over to talk to his friends/advisers.

** And then, just when it looks like Adam will bite Abe, Henri jumps in and stops him. Their fight breaks the cliffs around the train, and parts of the train, too. Culminating in the reveal that the train was a decoy.
** And ''then'', the train goes over the massive bridge that Verdona set on fire. While the tracks are breaking, the fight continues among the flames.

** [[CoolOldLady Mary]] gets another when she uses her TragicKeepsake- her son's miniature silver sword- to [[MamaBear shoot Verdona]] in the forehead at point-blank range.

* A little later, Abe is getting ready for the coming struggle, and he breaks out the old axe, and starts spinning it. Almost [[CoolOldGuy 50 years old,]] and Abe still has it. [[FunnyMoments Until he drops it.]]

* "Where's the [[spoiler:silver]]?!" "Right HERE!" *WHAM* [[spoiler:Cue dead Adam.]] The fact that Lincoln did this at [[spoiler:the age of ''[[CoolOldGuy fifty]]'']] is the icing on that particular cake.
* [[MamaBear Mrs.]] [[CoolOldLady Lincoln]] gets a rather fitting one when she [[spoiler:kills Vadoma by shooting her in the head with her (Mary's) silver TragicKeepsake (her son's - whom Vadoma had murdered - miniature silver sword)]].
** She gets one (combined with Harriet Tubman and some freed slaves), when they [[spoiler:transport the silver to the soldiers right under the vampires' noses]].

!!Examples from the book include:
* Lincoln and Speed luring vampire slavers to their doom; Speed lets them into the house one at a time, and Lincoln quickly dispatches each, with nary a sound (covered by slave gospel).
* How about the ending? Henry turns Abe into a vampire, and it jumps to 100 years later, at the Lincoln memorial when Martin Luther King Jr. gives his I have a dream speech. It turns out both Henry and Abe where listening to the speech. Lincoln got to personally see the affects of all he did come to this point.

* Pretty much any time Lincoln is beating vampire ass.
* Bartz throwing a horse at Abe.
** Also, Abe gets hit by the horse dead-on, but he makes a very nice recovery; in the ensuing tumble, the horse manages to roll back onto its feet and stand up, and Abe manages to cling on, resuming the chase now on horseback.

* Whenever Henry starts fighting, one of these moments isn't far behind.
** Same for Lincoln, Speed and Will.

* Abe killing the pharmacist vampire by way of [[spoiler:slashing his throat with a hidden knife that he dropped from his picket and caught with his ''mouth'']]!
* An axe that's also [[spoiler:a '''gun''']]?! Hell yes!

* Bartz using a horse as a *club*.
* "Where's the [[spoiler:silver]]?!" "Right HERE!" *WHAM* [[spoiler:Cue dead Adam.]] The fact that Lincoln did this at [[spoiler:the age of [[CoolOldGuy FIFTY]]]] is the icing on that particular cake.

* Abe killing the pharmacist vampire by way of [[spoiler:slashing his throat with a hidden knife that he dropped down into his ''mouth'']]!
* Abe catching the horse that Barts throws at him in their rematch and supporting its fall... after which the horse hops back up, with Lincoln on its back, and gives Barts an "Oh, hell no!" look. Cue continuation of the dramatic chase.

* Bartz using a horse as a *club*.
