History Awesome / AssassinsCreed2016

** Aguilar and Maria form one hell of a BattleCouple when attacking Torquemada and Ojeda to retrieve the Apple of Eden from them.

** Aguilar freeing himself from the burning at the stake in Seville (under the nose of both Tomás de Torquemada and UsefulNotes/TheCatholicMonarchs), battling TheExecutioner, freeing Maria and causing an oil explosion allowing them to flee.

* Both the fights and LeParkour in the 1491 Animus segments are impressive. The execution for instance; it's non-stop, think on your feet, get-the-hell-away-from-pursuers running action.

* The Madrid Abstergo Foundation learns why it is not a good idea to house so many assassins who've been affected by the Bleeding Effect (i.e. they learned skills from their ancestors ''[[IKnowKungFu in a matter of days]]''). They coordinate a prison breakout to take out their captors and take control of the facility. They use what they have on hand to control one area and start a commotion. Another person gets into the control room to facilitate movement where they can get their hands on more weaponry and take out more guards and control more areas. While they suffer fatalities, they ultimately carry the day.
* Near the end, Callum is surrounded by holograms/ghosts of previous assassins in his bloodline, including his mother. When they start talking to him, it appears they've all come back from the dead to induct him in the Brotherhood ''through the Animus''.

** The first Leap of Faith by Aguilar from a building under construction is ''amazing'' to see in live action. What's more awesome? That's ''not CGI''; Damien Walters (Fassbender's stunt double) really did the 125-foot drop, and it's now one of the highest stuntman free-falls ever done to this day.

* The stunt work for the film is great. Seeing the Animus replicated in the way it is is also pretty cool.
* The Leap of Faith was done by an actual stuntman, not CGI.
* Aguilar escaping from being burned to death via parkour is excellent.
* Aguilar and Callum's brief MirrorMatch in Callum's cell. It's Fassbender vs Fassbender, and it's well-done.
* The MeaningfulEcho of the Creed near the end, mainly due to Callum understanding what's going on, finally, and [[spoiler: turning on the Templars.]]
--> '''Callum''': Nothing is true, everything is permitted.
* The breakout scene near the end is incredibly cool, with the Assassins arming themselves with old weapons kept in storage. [[RockBeatsLaser They win.]]
* Callum [[spoiler: assassinating the BigBad in a way worthy of the games: while he uses the Apple in front of everyone.
