  • Seeing Xi deal with a cobra, and the accompanying narration.
    Narrator: Even a poisonous snake is not bad...You just have to keep away from the sharp end.
    [Xi grabs it by the tail and slams it against the ground, knocking it out and carrying it off]
    Narrator: Actually, a snake is very good—In fact, it's delicious—And the skin makes a fine pouch.
  • Xi driving the Land Rover backwards, while on the top of the car's bonnet qualifies, as well as doubling as a Crowning Moment of Funny.
  • Followed by him disguising himself as a child hostage and sneaking through the terrorist camp, disabling almost all of them by himself with a tiny knockout dart on a string.
  • After almost an entire movie of looking foolish, especially in front of the woman he likes, Steyn demonstrates himself to be not only an expert at coming up with a plan to incapacitate the terrorists, but when things go sideways, he fearlessly engages the two who are left in a firefight, and wins.
  • When Xi finally comes to the end of the world: a cliff overlooking the clouds. It's a real place in South Africa called God's Window, and it's awe-inspiring.
