Film

  • Late in The Collector, Arkin has a golden opportunity to escape from the psychopath with the ruby in his possession. He returns to the house to rescue Hannah and manages to save her, even if he pays for it with a session of Cold-Blooded Torture and the entire events of the second movie. Also a Heartwarming Moment.
  • The entire finale of The Collection:
    • Arkin lays a long-overdue No-Holds-Barred Beatdown on The Collector before torching him alive. Then, right as he's preparing to Face Death with Dignity after the fire cuts off his escape, Elena basically says "fuck that" and smashes through the nearby water tanks to douse the approaching flames so they can escape together. Then, after all is said and done, it looks like The Collector has once again survived and gone Karma Houdini....until Arkin tracks him down, locks him in his own box and prepares to tear him a new one.
    • What leads to the beatdown in the first place. The Collector ambushes the heroes in the aquarium room, then fatally stabs Paz and lays a beatdown to Arkin. Just as he prepares to kill him, a decapitated dog head is thrown at the floor, just near him. Cue Lucello standing in the hallway.
    • Despite being killed in the knife fight, Lucello manages to land a couple of good hits on the Collector, which ultimately allows Arkin to turn the tables on his nemesis and lay a good beatdown. Even though he gets stabbed in the cheek halfway through, he just brushes it off and carries on as usual.
