  • Bullseye is very much this.
    • His demand when he's told to kill Elektra and Daredevil?
      Bullseye: I want a fucking costume.
    • Plus when he kills Elektra... It's so hammy.
      Bullseye: You're good, baby. But me... I'm magic.
      [Bullseye flicks out an Ace of Spades and slices Electra's throat with it. Then he catches her thrown sai and grabs her]
      Bullseye: And for my next trick...
      [Stabs her, making the sai 'disappear']
  • Young Matt effortlessly humiliating the trio of bullies who were getting their kicks by picking on a blind kid.
    • To elaborate, before Matt's accident, they beat him up after goading him into a fight. After Matt's left blind, they find him in the same alleyway and mock him for his accident, before challenging him to fight. As they start to walk away, Matt stops the lead bully with his cane and calmly responds "okay". He then proceeds to land a few blows on him with his cane before slapping him across the face with it, and then trips him up after he throws a punch. After the other two bullies are momentarily stunned, the second bully runs at Matt, only for him to move and send the kid running into the garbage, and then Matt promptly knocks the final bully on his back with a backflip kick.
  • The dialogue at the end pretty much tells us viewers of the end of Kingpin's career.
    Kingpin: You hear that, blind man? They're sirens. They're coming for you.
    Dardevil: For me? Didn't you hear? The word's out on the Kingpin. They're coming for you. I can hear the police radios from here.
    Kingpin: No... I swear I'll tell them who you are.
    Daredevil: Go ahead, tell them. Tell the guys at Rikers all about how you got beat by a blind man. It'll be like blood in the water.
    Kingpin: Don't you worry about that, because I'll get out.
    Daredevil: I know, and I'll be waiting. [drops Kingpin's sword to the ground] Justice is served.
    • Before that, we see Daredevil gain the upper hand with his Radar sense and finishing it off with him breaking both of Fisk's kneecaps in one swift motion. You could hear the bones crunch twice from it, once from the kick and the other from Kingpin falling onto the ground, causing him to scream in immense pain. In the comics, Daredevil crippled the Kingpin. In the movie, he made him scream in agony when he did it.
  • The bar fight scene where we first see Daredevil in action, and it's even more awesome in the director's cut.
