Time Crisis and Project Titan

  • After the first boss is defeated, he tells Richard that Rachel was taken to the watchtower. He adds, "She must be dead by now." Not a second after he finishes saying this, Richard clocks him in the face and runs off.
  • Partway through Stage 2, Richard runs up a flight of stairs. The voice yells "ACTION!"... just as he runs into a massive squad of gunmen. They open fire, and he ducks down several steps. Then the voice yells "ACTION!" again.
  • In the first part of the ending of the Project Titan, Wild Dog threatens Richard by sending out his titanium robot army and does an attempted escape in a helicopter. As the robot army is about to ascend in an elevator, Richard shoots the helicopter's rotor, taking down Wild Dog, who's in the aforementioned helicopter. Wild Dog, along with his helicopter, crashes into the titanium robot army which are about to reach the top. Doubles as Always Close moment when Richard is about to get attacked by Wild Dog's robot army.

Time Crisis 2

  • Our protagonists have to run across the top of a train that is running off of an exploded bridge, before the game cuts to two mooks landing a chopper nearby that walk up to the edge to investigate. Of all the things to say, one of them goes, "Did ya get 'em?" Cue Keith and Robert, who're dangling off the edge of the bridge, plugging the two and jacking their chopper.
  • The first two bosses Jakov and "Buff". The former is a borderline Sissy Villain, remembered for how obnoxious his cackling laughter throughout stage one is, while the other uses a minigun and lifts a warhead to use as a club. The return of Wild Dog, and the fight with Diaz hopping on a laser satellite is positively tame in comparison to these two.

Time Crisis 3

  • The game starts off with Alan and Wesley in their vacation disguise until the Zagorian soldiers arrive and one of them says, "What do you think you're doing here? This is a restricted area!" Alan and Wesley then run inside the boat, and the soldiers follow them. Once inside, a Time Bomb is rapidly counting down to zero, which then says "BYE!" as it detonates. One of the soldiers says, "Oh my g-" before the boat explodes and Alan and Wesley take off in their jet skis.
  • Stage 2 Act 2 , with the two VSSE agents making their way through a wooded area:
    Wesley: "Are you sure we're heading right way?"
    Alan: "Actually, I was just following you..."
    Wesley: "WHA...?"
    *Gunshots*
    Alan: "Well, guess we came to the right place."
  • Stage 3 Act 1, the heroes lampshading Wild Dog being practically immortal and saying what's on the mind of pretty much every fan of the series:
    Wild Dog: "Surprise surprise..."
    Wesley: "Wild Dog!"
    Alan: "Don't you ever die?"
  • Alicia's Day in the Limelight special episode has a moment where she walks around in her Stripperific civilian garb, and then decides to pull off a Battle Strip when it's time for combat — only to show she's in her notably more modest combat uniform from the main game, meaning she gained clothes by taking them off.

Time Crisis 4

  • This exchange between Giorgio and Evan in Stage 2 Act 2:
    Evan: "What is this? A picnic?"
    • And after Giorgio says it, Evan cracks a brief smirk on his face when enemies come out.
  • There's a part where Rush ends up hanging from a tree by his leg. You're obviously meant to shoot the enemy agents while he's attempting to free himself. However, if you shoot him enough times as he swings past:
    Rush: "Ow! Shoot the enemy, not me!"
    • Becomes funnier when you consider his comment afterwards. "Thanks for the help. I owe you one." He's probably talking about you holding off the enemies while he was trapped. However, if you kept shooting him, it sounds like he's being sarcastic and threatening to pay you back for repeatedly hitting him.
  • A lot of the banter between Captain Rush and Mathers during the Act 2 boss fight, especially since he's one of the only bosses who gives dialogue in the series as well as Beth commenting on the fight, with her saying, "F...!"
    • Note that she doesn't pronounce it like "Fuh"; she actually says the letter "F". Meanwhile, in the Japanese version, she announces the move as "F-U", or "F" (per a Dummied Out line).
    • After unloading up to a thousand or so bullets into him, Mathers is only knocked off his feet. So how does the fight end? Why, with Rush uppercutting him, of course! Keep in mind this is after he spent most of the fight getting thrown about by him.
    • Even better, the "stage cleared" screen is accompanied by a boxing knock-out bell.
  • After Rush defeats Wild Fang, the former gives the latter A Taste Of His Own Medicine in the form of a roundhouse kick. Once the kick ensues, Wild Dog blew himself up after Giorgio and Evan defeated him. This made the two VSSE agents catch a glimpse of Wild Fang, with the latter thinking he'll fight them next despite his defeat at Rush's hands. Sadly for him, he gets run over by a UCAV. Even funnier is that his screaming face is used in the "stage cleared" screen.
