* The rescue of Fabianna and Rodrigo at the start. Max slides down an awning and headshots a bandit holding Fabianna hostage before landing in a pool, and saves Rodrigo by shooting out the tire of the kidnappers' van, killing all the mooks inside, and immediately turning to gun down the last few survivors running in behind. All in the span of about 20 or 30 seconds.
* The third game also introduces scripted ''[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome CMOAs]]'' as cinematic moments mixed in with the regular gunplay. One that stands out is the beginning of the second mission, with Max tackling a mook out a window and shooting the ones on the ground on the way down. Generally, Max responds to flying through the air (inadvertently or not) by taking advantage of it and continuing to shoot.
** Towards the end of the game while Max is on the tram in a shoot out with mooks on the tram next to his. The mooks stop shooting to laugh and point out to Max that the tram he's on is about to crash into a dead end. So what does Max do? He jumps though the windows of both trams and starts firing away at them!!!
* Max's [[ShutUpHannibal utter rejection]] of Neves' attempt to throw MightyWhitey accusations his way, also neatly proving that, for all his world-weary cynicism, he's still a decent man in the end.
-->'''Neves:''' What the fuck is your problem, man?\\

** To elaborate [[OneManArmy THAT'S THE ENTIRE U.F.E. BATTALION.]]
** After a particularly intense shootout (in a shooting range, no less) towards the end of the game, a U.F.E mook drops to his knees, puts his hands on his head and ''begs'' Max [[VideoGameCaringPotential for]] [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential mercy]]. An EliteMook, cowering in fear from a fat, bald ex-cop with a painkiller addiction '''''and rightly so.'''''
** Props for Da Sliva for being smart enough to send Max in instead of himself.
* Max managing to play [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall his own theme music]] on the piano. Like the music coming together, he's finally starting to get a grip on his situation and assert a semblance of control over his life in general and the various plots taking place around him specifically.
** Max's entire character arc in ''Max Payne 3'' is one. Even a man who has nothing left can still do the right thing.
* While he quips that Max knows how to make a good entrance at the end of Chapter 3, Passos' first chronological appearance was quite an entrance too: in Chapter 4 in New Jersey, he walks into the bar to see the son of a mob boss pull a gun on Max, so he draws his own gun and tells the kid and his crew to fuck off. When they return, all with guns, he simply tells them to fuck off again without hesitation.
