* The FinalBattle has the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLor5RqGaTY#at=206 classic Lone Ranger theme]] (aka "William Tell Overture") playing. Even not being a big fan of Lone Ranger, [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic it's ridiculously awesome]]. One reviewer, who utterly savaged the ''rest'' of the film, said of the final sequence, "And suddenly, the classic music that has so long been associated with the Lone Ranger begins playing, and once again I was a boy, sitting in front of my grandfather's television, cheering on the thrilling heroics of the hero. This amazingly entertaining and thilling sequence was almost enough to change my mind about the rest of the movie. Almost."

** [[spoiler:Danny throws John the silver bullet and he proceeds to shoot the gun out of Cole's hand from an impossible distance.]] Rather than simply [[HandWave Hand-Waving]] it, the movie gives us a few wide shots of the valley and a quick focus on the bullet, boldly illustrating both the impossibility of the feat, the sheer magnitude of the sequence leading up to it, and the implausibility of that bullet being in the right place at the right time, pushing a tired cliché straight into RefugeInAudacity territory ''without making a joke of it''. And all that to the climax of Music/HansZimmer's rendition of the classic Lone Ranger theme.

** Highlights include the slight MickeyMousing with the gunfire, Silver and the Lone Ranger barely avoiding death when the train they are atop of goes through a tunnel, Tonto's trick with the ladder, and John riding Silver ''through'' the compartments while firing at the other train through the windows.
** Danny's attempts to help Tonto using his slingshot.

* How perfectly the film captures John Reid's [[OriginStory transition]] from milquetoast lawyer to badass superhero. He starts off as an idealistic city slicker lawyer, a guy who trained in boxing but hasn't been in a real fight, and who hasn't held a gun in years. He's a firm and optimistic believer in the rule of law. After being forced into an ActionSurvivor role, seeing how corrupt the enforcers of the law can be, and finding himself somehow doing things that fall strictly into RefugeInAudacity, he comes out of the film as an ActionHero firmly on the good end of ToBeLawfulOrGood, who just goes with how audacious and out there his actions can be. It works.
