* If you're familiar with BLESSED's legendary hamminess, his delivery of "Gordon's alive!" is one of his funniest moments in the film, because it's unexpectedly low-key compared to what you might be used to from BLESSED.

* While Flash is telepathically talking to Dale, he tells her to fake out Ming using her [[DistractedByTheSexy feminine wiles]]. Meanwhile Aura is doing ''exactly'' that to Flash, embarrassing him mightily when he sends the wrong thought to Dale.

* How is Flash captured at the end of the football sequence? Zarkov [[EpicFail utterly whizzes a pass]] and ends up conking him on the head with the metallic "ball" by mistake.

* Dale's escape from Ming's chambers. The bit with the shoes, the unnecessary cartwheel -- pure SheFu.

* Dale's escape from Ming's chambers. The bit with the shoes, the unnecessary cartwheel -- pure SheFu. The shoe thing is extra funny, since she obviously slips them off because the heels are impractical in a fight, but she still grabs them and brings them along anyway because, hey, [[AllWomenLoveShoes free shoes]].

* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNUcpXKiNZo Football fight scene]] where our hero takes on Ming's guards by playing quarterback. The whole sequence is a winner from Dale playing cheerleader to Creator/BrianBlessed whacking random guards on the head with his staff while their backs are turned to Ming's priceless remark about Klytus' troops:

* At Ming's wedding, ships fly two banners in the background. The first says "All creatures shall make merry". The second says [[HappinessIsMandatory "Under pain of death".]]
* Then you have the wedding vows:
-->'''Priest:''' Do you, Ming the Merciless, Ruler of the Universe, take this Earthling Dale Arden, to be your Empress of the Hour?\\
'''Ming:''' Of the ''hour'', yes.\\
'''Priest:''' Do you promise to use her as you will?\\
'''Ming:''' Certainly!\\
'''Priest:''' Not to blast her into space? ''[this earns him a DeathGlare from Ming]'' Uh, until such time as you grow weary of her.\\
'''Ming:''' I do.\\
'''Dale:''' I do ''not''!
* When Flash is about to perform a DynamicEntry into Ming's throne room with a burning spaceship, we're treated to the sight of various folks running in terror, and Dale giving a CallBack to the football scene by shouting "Go Flash!" [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere while fleeing for cover herself.]]
* ''Long live Flash! You've saved your Earth. Have a nice day.''
