Go To

  • Brooks puts up a pretty good fight while he's being kidnapped, using several improvised weapons pretty well even after being punched several times.
  • While a bit unscrupulous, Sarah's Cutting the Knot gambit of going straight to the game company to bribe them for the last clue is pretty clever.
  • Brooks jumping out of a moving car to distract his pursuers away from Max and Annie is a pretty impressive nonfatal Heroic Sacrifice.
  • The egg chase scene in the mansion, which is done in the style of one long continuous take (although it is clearly several scenes stitched together it is done creatively with some very clever editing to create the illusion).
  • Gary showing up to save the gang from the kidnappers. It was part of his set-up but he still made the rescue look cool.
  • Max saves his brother's life in the climax by using a car to foil a plane's takeoff.
  • Max using charades to communicate a strategy to Annie during the climax is kind of cool. The failure of the plan undermines it some, but Annie makes up for it by knocking the thug out while he's distracted by the Epic Fail.
  • The end credits showing Gary's elaborate plan to infiltrate game night.
