[[AC:2 - A Single Trade]]
* The titular trade - back before the Freeze, Miss Audrey secured her ticket by letting Mr. Wilford watch her as she opened up her wrist and bled out in a bathtub, entirely trusting that he would actually bring her back.

[[AC:11 - The Time of Two Engines]]

* One of Wilford's men is Icy Bob, a tall and muscular man with a bald head and his body covered in scars. It's uncertain if he's fully human anymore, as he single-handedly repels Layton's attack. He's so strong he kills a man with a single blow.

* ThereIsAnother train, the ''Big Alice''. It latches on Snowpiercer and immobilizes it. The train bears Wilford's symbol, implying he managed to survive the world's freezing and now has his own train.

* There can be something unsettling about seeing people in a perfectly functioning (albeit corrupt, and ''very'' exploitative) society worshipping the engine itself as a God.

* Near the very end, when an avalanche completely destroys the train, killing all but a very small few on board. Unless you're very optimistic, it looks like the human race is at an end. But don't worry, [[WordOfGod the director is here to clear things up!]] [[spoiler: Yep, they're all dead.]]

** Then, Yona suddenly senses something below her, and she scratches the floor tiles to uncover Tanya's son, Timmy, beneath the floor.

* The classroom car.

** The fact that [[MadeOfIron he's still alive after all this]].

* A frightened Yona scratching the floor titles to uncover Tanya's son, Timmy, beneath the floor.
* The way Andy moves to his 'post' and does not respond to Curtis' pleas for the young boy to stop operating the Engine.

* Realizing that Gilliam did and endured all of that as part of a plan to intentionally cull excess members of humanity, [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans and no other reason]].

-->'''Ruth:''' Where’s the logic in that?
-->'''Suzanne:''' She’s just a little girl.
-->'''Ruth:''' Yea, a little girl who helped to kill six men
-->'''Suzanne:''' I’m her mother, it’s my fault, I let her help the rebellion.
-->'''Ruth''' ''[coldly smiling]'': Finally, someone with the moral fortitude to take responsibility for their actions.

-->'''LJ''' : I didn’t know that Finkelstein, Branxom and Folger did murders, mom.
-->'''Lilah''': Go ahead and laugh. My family may not think I’m capable, Melanie, but the Freeze taught us all we have the capacity to kill.

* Near the beginning, Mason gives a laborious speech to the tail section, the gist of which is "I am a hat, you are a shoe", while Andrew's arm is hung outside of the train to be frozen and then smashed off with a massive hammer. [[DisproportionateRetribution His crime: throwing a shoe at a front-section passenger.]] [[CrapsackWorld In case you were wondering what kind of world this is.]]
* Paul's existence in the kitchen.
* After getting to the kitchen car, Curtis finds out what the "protein bars" are made out of: ground-up insects. [[IAteWhat After throwing up in his mouth a little bit, he quickly decides it'd be better not to tell the rest of his people,]] likely to prevent a massive freak out that could break the revolt he's started. [[{{Squick}} What's even worse is that right before this, everyone had gotten excited about having unlimited access to their only source of food and started chowing them down.]]

** The fight stops prematurely as the train is about to collide with a wall of ice on the tracks. Everyone gets down low and braces for the impact. There's a very freaky moment when Curtis looks beside him and [[SlasherSmile sees one of the masked axe-men smiling at him with bloody teeth.]] Turns into a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome after they've passed the ice wall and the fight continues, with Curtis immediately killing that man.
** How about when the Axe Gang puts on their night-vision goggles as the train goes into the dark tunnel. Seeing the heroes getting butchered as they stand blinded in the dark is horrifying, meanwhile Mason is gawking at the slaughter with a big smile on her face and her men are frantically taking count of everyone who dies.

* [[BigBad Wilford,]] and [[TotalitarianUtilitarian everything]] [[EvilOverlord he]] [[AGodAmI represents.]]
* When the garish, spoiled, tweaked out front-section masses converge on the engine antechamber, trying to kill Minsoo, Yona and Curtis.
* The way Andrew's son moves to his 'post' and does not respond to Curtis.
* Just the concept of children being taken away and becoming parts in an engine that never stops, like they were just bits of machinery and not actual human beings.
* A frightened Yona scratching the floor titles to uncover young Timothy beneath the floor.

* Realizing that Gilliam did and endured all of that as part of a plan to intentionally cull excess members of humanity, [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans and no other reason.]]

!!!'''Series:'''
* Going where the movie didn't have a chance to, "Prepare to Brace" shows just ''how'' rapidly the frigid external temperatures can cripple and kill. In the episode's opening moments, a participant in the rebellion accepts the punishment. The punishment? Having her arm stick out a small hole leading to outside, freezing her arm like a statue. But the unforgiving temperatures are shown when an avalanche slams into the train. When the cattle car's window breaks, it takes ''seconds'' for the herd to expire, and the head butcher is frozen so quickly that when the thermal-suited engineers investigate, his corpse is still standing upright.
* "Access is Power" ends with the killer brutally murdering others before making his way to Nikki, who is still recovering from the drawers. The way he stares back at Nikki, and his sheer brutality in how he disposes of his victims is spine chilling.

* The punishment for major participation in a rebellion. The punished slides their arm in a slot, which leads to the frigid cold exterior of the train. Their arm is then frozen stiff, and when they remove it, it is smashed to smithereens by a sledgehammer. It clues in on just how unforgiving the cold is outside the train.
