5* The first between Lorraine and the East German cops. None of them even so much as lands a hit on her, she makes perfect use of her environment (including a [[FryingPanOfDoom pan]] and a [[DoorFu fridge's door]]) and she uses a hose to swing to the ground floor for her escape. Two other cops try to get her upon landing, and she makes quick work of them too.
6* TheOner of Lorraine fighting several mooks in an apartment and a staircase well, in an effort to protect Spyglass. It's been cited by many as a [[SignatureScene standout scene]] in the film. It's a brilliantly choreographed symphony of violence on par with something seen in ''Franchise/JohnWick'' or ''Film/TheRaid''. The fight is absolutely ''brutal'', realistic and taxing, with Lorraine using everything at her disposal to maul her opponents. Doubles as an awesome moment for Creator/CharlizeTheron, who proved herself capable enough in performing her own stunts that they were able to add the oner in the first place at all.
7* Spyglass himself has two moments, namely memorizing the whole list of double-agents, ensuring his own value and coming to Lorraine's aid during the above-mentioned fight, getting in one good hit against the blond henchman.
8* Delphine ends up strangled to death by Percival, but not without defending herself, stabbing him with a knife and even planting it in his back.
9* The blond KGB agent is the only one to beat Lorraine in a fight, kicking her ass at the theater. Later, he manages to survive the hotel fight and run down Lorraine's car.
10* Lorraine's final confrontation with Bremovych and his goons in slow motion in Paris, getting rid of half a dozen men and Bremovych himself with a gun she hid in an ice bucket, despite being initially ambushed by them.
11-->'''Lorraine:''' I never worked for you. YOU worked for me.
12* Lorraine feeding the KGB false information and helping the Americans facilitate the collapse of the Berlin Wall by acting as a [=MI6=] agent deserves mention.
