Awesome / True Lies

It's a James Cameron film, so you know the set pieces are gonna be awesome.

• Harry using an Uzi and a fuel truck hose to MacGyver a flame thrower. Not to be outdone, Aziz whips out a rocket launcher...
• Jamie Lee Curtis actually did the dangling-from-the-helicopter stunt herself; it was her birthday.
• Harry and Helen kissing passionately while the nuclear bomb at the Florida Keys island goes off in the background.
• Everything involving the Harrier.
  • Especially notable is when a mook in the building is scanning the area after hearing a jet noise. Then the Harrier rises into view from below, and comes into view with his binoculars. Confused, he focuses them in closer and sees Harry's pissed off face in the cockpit. Cue brown pants.
  • Aziz on the crane hilariously does a double-take when the Harrier arrives below the crane, when seconds before Dana was dangling for her life.
  • How Harry disposes of Aziz, complete with an amazing Pre-Mortem One-Liner.
    "You're fired."
• Dana stealing a nuclear ignition key from terrorists and getting away with it. Oh, and she's fourteen.
  • Really, Dana is pretty much a walking CMOA in this scene. The kid runs off with the key, Aziz chases her onto a crane hundreds of feet from the ground, and in spite of being understandably terrified and on the verge of tears, she holds the key out and yells that if he shoots her, the key will fall. Aziz then tells her that if she gives him the key, then no harm will come to her. Dana's response?
    "No WAY, you wacko!"
  • At one point, Aziz keeps advancing on her, trying to convince her to give him the key. She holds the key away from herself, over the street below, and keeps defying him:
    "I'll drop it! I swear!"
• Charlton Heston is Da Chief, Spencer Trillby! Complete with an eye patch!
• Harry, handcuffed to a post and under the effects of a truth serum, is getting prepped for torture by the villains and is asked if he has anything he'd like to say before getting started, leading to the following conversation:
  Harry: Yeah. I'm going to kill you pretty soon.
  Samir: I see. How, exactly?
  Harry: First I'm going to use you as a human shield. Then I'm going to kill this guard over here with the Patterson trocar on the table. And then I was thinking about breaking your neck.
  Samir: (amused) And what makes you think you can do all that?
  Harry: You know my handcuffs?
  Samir: Mmm-hmm.
  Harry: (holds up his hands) I picked them.
  (cue a horrified expression from Samir followed by a prodigious ass-kicking exactly in the manner Harry described)
