* In the first scene, young Marlow facing Gunpei, who's armed with a shin-guntō sword, barehanded and managing to disarm him.
* The bar fight in which we're introduced to Conrad -- he first demolishes a guy coming at him from behind with a knife with his pool cue (and we were given no prior indication he was even aware of the guy). Then, when the man's accomplice starts throwing pool balls at him, he first dodges one at very close range, then smacks the second one back by using the cue like a baseball bat, knocking him clean out.

** Once the giant spider is seriously injured Packard finishes it off with a gooey BoomHeadshot.
* Conrad slicing through carnivorous birds with a sword, wading through potentially toxic gas, to get to an injured Slivko. He succeeds and they both live.
* Kong vs the Mire Squid. Kong doesn't just win, he starts eating it alive!!
* Weaver blowing apart and ''killing'' the Skullcrawler that was terrorizing the gang in the gravesite after it easily shrugs off stuff like an M2 machine gun and flamethrower attack. And just with a disposable lighter too.

-->'''Packard:''' And remember the story of Icarus, whose father gave him wings made of wax and warned him not to fly too close to the sun. But the exhilaration was too great, so he flew higher and higher, until the sun melted his wings and he fell into the sea. But the United States Army is not an irresponsible father. So they gave us wings of white-hot, cold-rolled Pennsylvania steel, guaranteed not to melt.

** Reles gets one as well. The man almost gets his balls skewered by the Mother Longlegs, yet he simply rolls to the side and still has enough presence of mind to hack off one of its legs.

* Kong vs versus the Mire Squid. Kong doesn't just win, he starts eating it alive!!
** Additionally, he accidentally saves Chapman's life just by appearing. Seeing as Chapman is scared to death of Kong, he immediately vacates the lake and hides. Not five minutes later, it's revealed that there was at least one Mire Squid lying in wait below the surface, close to the spot where Chapman had just been refilling his canteen. Had Kong appeared a second too late, Chapman would've very probably been the creature's afternoon snack.

** Like Godzilla, Kong is also shown to be a surprisingly intelligent opponent -- even when he has the element of surprise, rather than charge into a fight empty-handed, he leaps down at a Skullcrawler with a huge boulder in his hands and cracks it against its head like he's dunking a basketball.
*** He uses a tree like a baseball bat against the head of one Skullcrawler. And just before that, he chafes off the branches in a manner not unlike unsheathing a sword.
** Kong takes on two Skullcrawlers at the same time in hand-to-hand and ''utterly'' Curb-Stomping them.
*** He swings about a chain with a large boat propeller wrapped up in the business end, very much like a flail.

The thing that is heavily implied to have murdered his own parents. This is not only him killing a Skullcrawler. This is him killing THE Skullcrawler.... and WINNING.
** Even more awesome when one remembers again that Kong is a ''teenager'' by his species definition and not only managed to survive but also kill THE SUPREME Skullcrawler.
** In addition, Kong has an unconscious Weaver in his hand for the whole last part of the fight, and manages enough control to not injure her at all, even when that same hand is pulled down the Skullcrawler's throat.

* Right after Marlow draws his sword, he mutters "Death before dishonor" in Japanese. While it's a little cheesy, here it sounds ''absolutely epic''. Then he proceeds to dodge the Skullcrawler and slashes it with the sword (in slow motion).
* One for Randa, when Packard confronts him. Despite the fact Packard is dangerously unstable and has his sidearm pointed at him, Randa's voice drops to a menacing tone and he started delivering a powerful DeathGlare as he tells Packard about how the warship he served on was destroyed by a Kaiju, and how it led him to search for more. By the time he's done, Packard is visibly nervous, quickly holstering his gun, and seems to actually be intimidated by the old sailor's glare.

* Right after Marlow draws his sword, he mutters "Death before dishonor" in Japanese. While it's a little cheesy, here it sounds ''absolutely epic''.

Despite the fact Packard is dangerously unstable and has his sidearm pointed at him, Randa's voice drops to a menacing tone and he started delivering a powerful DeathGlare as he tells Packard about how the warship he served on was destroyed by a Kaiju, and how it lead him to search for more. By the time he's done, Packard is visibly nervous, quickly holstering his gun, and seems to be actually intimidated by the old sailor's glare.
