* OhCrap: A few throughout the film between Hogarth tricking him or the Giant's mere existence and the sight of its violent power, but what takes the cake is when he [[TooDumbToLive calls the nuke upon their position]] out of fear and resentment towards the Giant, only for Rogard to point out that he's just doomed every single citizen and soldier in the region. Mansley's response is initially ''a childish realization'' of ThisIsGonnaSuck before thinking they can just duck and cover in a bomb shelter, before practically losing all his wits upon being told ''there is no escape'' and [[ItsAllAboutMe openly abandoning everyone and America for himself]].
