Go To


  • The Fratellis are surprisingly impressive (albeit still slapstick) in the opening jailbreak, between Jake faking his suicide with a back brace and Francis setting a fire around the jail entrance to keep the guards from chasing them, ending in Mama driving into a truck rally to give the cops the slip.
  • "HEEEYYYY YOOOOUUU GUUUYYYYSSS!!!"
  • When Brand saves Mikey from getting punched by Jerk Jock Troy in a deleted scene.
  • Data's many attempts at standing up to the Fratellis, most of them do end up helping. He actually manages to take out Jake with his punching mitt and disarm Mama Fratelli.
    Data: We will not be taken alive!
    • Data's 'bully blinders' apparently came in useful when a couple of big guys stopped him on his way home once.
  • Sloth's Mook–Face Turn, ripping off his clothes revealing he's wearing a Superman shirt. Complete with the Superman theme.
  • When Andy finally proves herself as being more than The Load when she successfully hits the right notes on the skeleton pipe-organ, facilitating the escape of the others just in the nick of time.
    • She's also the one who goes back to retrieve the map despite the Fratellis shooting at them at the time.
    • To a lesser extent, she actually calls Mama Fratelli "a gross old witch".
  • Stef punching Mama Fratelli as the group escapes the ship.
  • Sloth ripping his chains out of the wall to grab the Baby Ruth bar Chunk had tried to toss to him. Even Chunk is impressed at how far he goes to get it:
    Chunk: Gee mister, you're even hungrier than I am!
  • After Andy is forced off the plank by Mama Fratelli, Brand pushes Mama aside and jumps off the plank to rescue her.
  • The final shot of the Inferno sailing off towards the horizon.
