* As the [[TranquilFury stone faced and silent]] Harry tails Helen's meeting with Simon, Gib just '''had''' to rub it from the side by quipping ''"If I were you and you were me you'd be laughing your ass off!"'' causing him to grip his binoculars ''so'' hard that the ''right lens '''cracks''''' the way the glasses of a Romantic Comedy Anime protagonist would spontaneously crack in jealous anger.

* During the striptease scene, Harry has the taped dialogue asking Helen to dance. After she starts an out-of-place dance, the next message is "No no no, dance ''sexy''." Harry correctly predicted she would dance like a goofball and had pre-recorded dialogue to compensate for it.

* During the striptease scene, Harry has the taped dialogue asking Helen to dance. After she starts an out-of-place dance, the next message is "No no no, dance ''sexy''." Harry correctly predicted she would dance like a goofball and had pre-recorded dialogue to compensate for it. And even after that, the dance is pretty awkward, since Helen obviously has no training for this sort of thing. Which, of course, just makes it funnier, contrasting [[MsFanservice how sexy she is]] with the clumsy dance.


Added DiffLines:

** Harry's taped dialogue asking her to take off her stockings, much to her confusion, since she's not wearing any stockings, and never did for this scene (after taking off her dress, her entire outfit consists of BlackBraAndPanties and heels).

** Aziz fires at Gib, whose only cover is a light post. He turns to hide behind it, and the bullets can clearly be seen striking both the post and the area around it, but somehow managed to miss Gib entirely despite the fact that he clearly sticks out from both the front and back.

** When Harry finally beats the GiantMook in their bloody fistfight, he rubs salt in the wound by sticking the guy face first into a urinal and flushing, telling him to "cool off."

---> '''Harry:''' Now what the hell were you thinking? I mean, I had the guy, and you let him get away. ''(horse looks away; Harry pulls it back)'' Look at me when I'm talking to you. What kind of a cop are you, anyway?
** By the way, that last scene merits a funny moment all its own. Aziz does a crazy stunt that involves leaping from skyscraper to skyscraper on his motorcycle. Harry tries to follow, but that horse just isn't having it, and almost dumps him over the edge! You can just hear the horse thinking "are you CRAZY?!"

** When fleeing the scene, Harry spots two nasty guard dogs chasing him. They leap for the kill -- and he promptly ''knocks their heads together'', leaving them too dazed to resume the chase. He even tells them, "Stay!" before he runs off.

** It shows up twice, hilarious both times. First, when Harry and the Omega Sector agents first show up and Harry finds [[NotWhatItLooksLike (what appears to be) Simon and Helen about to have sex]] and then later, when Helen [[ManBitesMan chomps down hard on his arm]] while he tries to carry her off.
** Another quick physical gag - while Helen puts up a fight, one agent hits her over the head with the butt of his rifle, resulting in Harry knocking said agent on his ass and immediately going back to trying to restrain her himself.

** As Helen is readying to shoot, Harry is busy struggling with another mook; when Helen's dropped gun starts to spray fire everywhere, Harry ''and'' the mook stop their fight and run for cover. On top of that, several mooks come around the corner, see the falling gun, and [[AttackAttackRetreatRetreat immediately try to run back (and get shot doing so)]].

** Later, Aziz leaps onto the Harrier and wrestles with Harry for control of the jet. As the jet spins around in mid-air, it passes by a janitor cleaning a room in another part of the building, completely oblivious to what's going on. The jet ends up slamming tail first into said room, launching Aziz backwards, landing crotchfirst on the jet's tailfin.

* The chase over the bridge; one of the harrier pilots, before firing at the bridge to take out Aziz's convoy and prevent them reaching the mainland with the second nuke, asks if there is a danger that they might set off the warhead. Harry reassures the pilot that it won't go off...but then throws Gib a look as if to say, "How the hell do I know?!?"
** Ironically, [[ShownTheirWork this is one of the few times in film that nuclear weapons being shot at is portrayed correctly]]. The engineering and science involved in just building a nuke means that it will only go off in the way it is designed to. Burning it, shooting it, or detonating explosives next to it will not do the trick, and will in fact render the nuke a dud by damaging either the internal circuitry or the detonation mechanism itself.

** The second terrorist truck avoids getting blown up when the bridge gets taken out, but is left precariously dangling over the edge. The driver and his surviving bad guys start laughing at their good fortune... only to watch a pelican [[OhCrap nonchalantly fly onto the dashboard]]. The weight differential is enough to tip the truck off the bridge[[note]]Relax, the pelican is able to fly away unharmed.[[/note]] and explode in the debris below. Basically: Death By Pelican.
