History Awesome / ScreamVI

** Even though it doesn't connect, the combo of everything Sam does in the punch from shaking her head in disbelief; the yank up and then the launch all still has ''a very skilled and kinetic flow'' to it that it's impressive regardless--and would've easily taken out anyone with little to total GenreBlindness in Gale's place without question.

* The way Sam and Bailey charge toward each other once her gun is empty--causing them both to go over the catwalk--is an epic moment for both of them.

** That Sam earlier got the drop on Ethan with the knife and by means of stabbing him figured out where someone with the vest would be most vulnerable also counts both on its own and as preparation for this moment too.

** She survives the climax despite getting shot and stabbed several times, and ends up being the one to put an end to the massacre once and for all through taking out the last Ghostface, Ethan, by dropping a TV set on his head.

* Kirby's TookALevelInBadass CharacterDevelopment in this film.
** After being stabbed and left for dead in ''Film/Scream4'', she not only survives, but becomes a seasoned FBI agent by the age of 30.

* ''Ghostface'', of all people, gets one when he kills Jason Carvey. He specifically uses Jason's monologue about how [[LackOfEmpathy killing Laura Crane felt like watching a human devolve into an animal and then "just meat"]] against him as he stabs him to death, asking, "Do YOU feel like an animal, Jason?" No Ghostface has ever been anything close to a good person, but to see one of them give the Casey Becker treatment to someone who, for once, [[PayEvilUntoEvil unequivocally deserves it]] is truly something.
** And there's his vicious response when Jason begs about finishing Richie's movie.

** As she reveals to Tara in this film, Kirby actually ''did'' die for 4 minutes from her injuries. The way she describes how she bounced back from that is quite powerful:

* Sam leaving the mask at the end while it could be her wanting to move on from that part of her life now could also be embracing it as well as both a warning and calling card to future fellow Ghostfaces: if you come for me, this is the fate that awaits you.

* After the girl accusing her of being a murderer throws the cherry slush drink at her, Sam gets in a pretty powerful shove on her before she starts being held back.

** She also right before blowing Quinn away gives a SlasherSmile (as shown in the trailers) that just shouts, "I'm in control of this situation now, assholes."

** She also gives a SlasherSmile while doing this (as shown in the trailers) that just shouts, "I’m in control of this situation now, assholes."

** Bailey's wearing a bulletproof vest, which while not great against stabbing attacks, would blunt the force of a knife as big as the classic ''Scream'' Buck 120. So Sam stabs ''around'' the vest, rapidly perforating both shoulders, making it significantly harder for him to fight back if he should somehow turn the tables on her and effectively neutralizing him as a threat in a way that would be survivable if he got medical attention quickly enough, letting her choose whether or not to kill him, and why. That Sam earlier got the drop on Ethan with the knife and by means of stabbing him figured out where someone with the vest would be most vulnerable also counts both on its own and as preparation for that moment too.

* On the villains' side, the climax in the shrine is the first time in the whole series we see two masked Ghostfaces in combat together.
** Even with how horrific the killers' simultaneous attack of Chad is, it's immediately followed by both Ghostfaces simultaneously wiping their blades clean, another first for a ''Scream'' film.
