Once he's done insulting him, his race, and his girlfriend, and Spock's finally had enough, he throws Kirk around like a rag doll, even bending the metal bar Kirk tries to use to keep him at bay. He's about to remove Kirk's head when he finally comes to his senses. A hilarious moment for Kirk when he's trying to provoke him, and a rare look at what a Vulcan who's [[BewareTheNiceOnes finally had enough]] is capable of.

* Kirk's reaction when cornered by the "monster." He knows that the creature in front of him has already killed several men. It is monstrous in form. He is not completely clear on exactly how it kills, so he has no idea what to watch out for. He is armed with a weapon that can destroy it, but only if he is quick enough to strike first. He chooses instead to try and communicate with it.
* Spock agreeing to mindmeld with a creature which has been known to kill with a touch. Considering how dangerous later series have shown mindmelds to be, and he doesn't even know whether the thing has any sort of mind, that probably took some nerve.
* And the Horta herself - she is completely outnumbered by the strange, horrible looking attackers who are destroying her eggs, all that is left of her species, and singlehandedly manages to eliminate much of the opposition, and if not for the starship's arrival, would probably have dealt with the entire mining colony over time.

** One more from that sequence: after Kirk has quickly and easily beaten Wyatt Earp to the ground, he pulls his own pistol. A defenseless, clearly frightened Earp is pretty much looking down the gun's barrel as Kirk cocks the hammer. It would've been very easy to use the illusory gun to kill the illusory Earp for revenge. But Kirk won't commit murder, even in an illusion. So he uncocks the gun, tosses it away, and releases Earp.
