1	Just because this film was Creator/MichaelBay's first film disappointment at the time, doesn't mean there aren't some awesome moments here and there.
2
3	* [[HandicappedBadass Franklin Roosevelt]] (who, at the time, is in a wheelchair because of polio) [[{{Determinator}} struggling to his feet]] to announce to the Joint Chiefs that they ''will'' be retaliating against Japan.
4	-->'''Admiral Nimitz:''' Mr. President, with all due respect, sir... What you're asking can't be done.\
5	''(Roosevelt shoots him a look that screams YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe and slowly rises from his wheelchair, clearly in pain, before he stands on his own two feet)''
6	-->'''Roosevelt:''' [[BadassBoast Do]] ''[[BadassBoast not]]'' [[BadAssBoast tell ME it can't be done.]]
7	** His manservant and the rest of the Joint Chiefs try to aid, but he refuses their help.
8	* The actual attack was amazingly done, despite the [[ArtisticLicenseHistory glaring inaccuracies involving actions of the lead characters]].
9	* The air field sergeant, who takes one look at the Japanese fighters and fights back by firing his shotgun (ineffectually) at them.
10	** And then goes on to lead the rest of the men on the ground into shooting down the last Japanese fighter on Rafe's tail.
11	* The Japanese FighterLaunchingSequence just before the attack.
12	* Dorie Miller shooting down several Japanese planes during the attack, despite being a Naval cook with no formal training in operating an AA Gun. Made even better by the fact that [[RealLife this actually happened.]]
