1It's a ''Franchise/{{Predator}}'' movie, there's bound to be awesome moments.
2
3* The Predator's escape from Project Stargazer. Not only is the creature's strength, speed, toughness, and intellect on full display as it fights off a room full of armed (and some unarmed) humans with none of its advanced technology available, but the first thing it does is ''bite'' one of the humans trying to hold it down, painfully demonstrating that those mandibles and needle teeth aren't just for show. It also picks up [[ImprovisedWeapon various sharp implements to help it]], and later an actual dropped assault rifle. Have you ever wanted to see a Predator fire a gun? You know you have.
4** Back to firing the gun, it just fires it while swinging it casually, and yet still its his targets with pinpoint accuracy. It might as well have just said that it can use their guns better than they can.
5* Casey's just seen the Predator massacre a room full of armed mercs without breaking a sweat. Does she run? Nope, she grabs a tranq gun and pursues it ''on foot''. She even manages to leap onto the roof of the vets' bus while it's moving so she can use it as a stable platform to shoot it from. Badass.
6* It may have been completely unintentional for him, but the mask Rory’s wearing triggers a blast to hit an asshole that pelted him, which also scares the shit out of two bullies that taunt Rory for being autistic.
7* It's been spoiled in all the trailers, but the Ultimate Predator's effortless demolition of the Fugitive Predator is still incredibly impressive, making the Super Predator/Classic Predator duel from ''Predators'' look even by comparison.
8* [[PapaWolf Quinn]] killing a merc with a tranq-dart ''[[EyeScream to the eye]]''.
9-->'''Merc:''' What, you're going to kill me with a tranq gun?\
10'''Quinn:''' [[PapaWolf You took my kid]], so, [[BluntYes yeah.]] ''[BoomHeadshot]''
11* While also a tearjerker, Nebraska sacrificing himself to bring the Ultimate Predator’s ship down.
12** Special mention should also go to the music playing during this whole scene, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F5uNWcMqYo The Last Stand]]", a fittingly tense and heroic theme which plays well with the desperate rescue, the loss of most of those trying to rescue Rory, and particularly for when it turns out that Nebraska's been internally-injured and then sacrifices himself, and then building epically as Quinn gets back up to face off with the Ultimate Predator alone and save his son.
13* Quinn blowing up the Ultimate Predator with a Predator bomb attached to the wrist blade of the Ultimate Predator's severed arm. Bonus points because, for him, the severed arm is as big as a large sniper rifle, and his [[ChekhovsSkill sniper credentials have been well-established throughout the film.]]
