* Johnny's RedEyesTakeWarning when Stephanie is threatened by Frank, who's holding the drive shaft from his car that Johnny just dismantled. He then uses his laser to slice the drive shaft apart (piece-by-piece at that), followed by zapping the brim of the guy's hat, the heels of his boots and the belt buckle on his pants. The result is complete humiliation, with the worst damage to the guy being his feet a little crispy, and yet still oh-so-badass.

-->'''Frank squeezes off a couple of more rounds.)'''
-->'''Frank ''(stunned):'' ''' How can he do that?! ''(Fires off one more shot.)''
-->'''Numbr Five ''(still using John Wayne's voice):'' ''' WHA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
** TheReasonYouSuckSpeech that Number Five gives to Frank just '''''NAILS IT.'''''
-->''(Number Five, picking up a washer that came from Frank's dismantled car off the ground, starts flipping it like a coin in the same style of a gangster from the Roaring Twenties '''AND''' sounding like Creator/HumphreyBogart, very coldly):'' Franky... you broke the unwritten law: '''YOU RATTED ON YOUR FRIENDS.''' When you do that, Franky, your enemies don't respect you. You got no friends no more. '''YOU'VE GOT ''NOBODY,'' FRANKY.'''

** The awesomeness of this, especially for the production team, is incalculable. They managed three things about this.
*** Firstly, the entire medley is genuinely done using short-press tones, rather than some 'close enough' tones. In the modern day, this would be easy, and there's probably programmes that could replicate the entire thing. Not when they made this film.
*** Secondly, at least for 'He-l-p Me Rho-n-da, He-l-p He-l-p Me Rho-n-da,', they speak OUT LOUD the exact series of key tones.
*** Finally, All the songs do a very sloppy, but more than acceptable, route round New York that still works!
