History Awesome / ResidentEvil1

This page is for awesome moments from the first game only.

'''As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked [[Administrivia/SpoilersOff as per policy.]] Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.'''

* From the [=REmake=], the Tyrant of all things can potentially have a Moment of Awesome. At the end of the final battle, Brad Vickers throw you a rocket launcher, and you fire it to destroy the Tyrant once and for all. Some of the time. The rest of the time, when a rocket is fired at it, the Tyrant ''backhands it away'', casually. This is a major OhCrap moment for players.

* One for Jill in the [=REmake=]. When Jill and Barry rendezvous prior to the final fight with Lisa, Barry suddenly tries to hold Jill at gunpoint. In a second, Jill reacts, employing a one-handed disarm on Barry, taking his .44 Magnum from him. Read again, Jill, the only female in the S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team just proved she belongs in that spot by casually disarming the physically strongest non-altered human character in the game, and perhaps in the franchise, showcasing her martial skill along the way. It makes sense if you think about the fact that Jill is supposed to be a former member of Delta Force, one of the most elite military groups in the U.S forces. Even better is that Barry is 100% terrified of Jill in this moment, and he has eight inches and 86 pounds on her. He knows just how angry she is at him and doesn't even ''attempt'' to take his gun back from her by force.
* Meta example: Julia Voth was Jill's motion capture actress for the Remake and at a convention one fan recognized her and gave her a custom blue STARS beret. Voth's reaction was essentially, [[http://www.geek.com/games/resident-evils-jill-valentine-actress-cosplays-as-jill-valentine-1643947/ "Let's see if I can do something cool here."]]

* In the underground caverns as Jill, if you agree to let Barry go with you and let him scout ahead first, you'll hear gunshots in the next room. When you arrive, Barry shoots an attacking Hunter ''that was in mid leap''[[note]]This is something the game itself will not let the player do![[/note]], and shoots it on the ground once more to finish it off.

* One for Jill. When Wesker [[spoiler: is revealed as a traitor, Barry holds Jill at gunpoint, as he is being blackmailed and thinks his family will be slaughtered if he fails to meet Wesker's demands.

* The fact that some of the S.T.A.R.S members even survived the night is awesome in itself. You've gotta give props to people who can take on giant zombified sharks, snakes, plants, clawed frogs, and a [[EvilAllAlong backstabbing teammate]]...''and survive''.
