- Pollux shaking and whimpering when they get into the tunnels because he's reliving awful memories of being a slave down there when the Capitol made him an avox. He didn't see the sun for five years.
- "My name is Peeta Mellark. I'm from District 12."
- The members of Katniss's squad dying one after another: Boggs gets blown in half by a landmine and dies in her arms; Mitchell gets caught in the black goo; the two blonde sisters are blown up by Peacekeepers; Jackson, Homes, Castor and Finnick are mauled by Mutts, Messalla is disintegrated running through a pod beam of light. Katniss blames herself for all those deaths because she wasn't even supposed to be in the Capitol to begin with; she lied about having a special mission from Coin.
- Finnick's death. He suffers a fate similar to Cato, getting mauled by Mutts. He screams for Katniss, who gives him a Mercy Kill by blowing up the Holo.
- Pollux crying over his brother's death in Tigris's cellar.
- "Stay with me." "Always."
- As Katniss and Gale try to sneak into the Capitol defenses by hiding among the refugees, we see a little girl, no more than a toddler, being carried by her mother. Moments later when the final assault by the rebels kicks off, we see that girl screaming at her mother, who's apparently lying dead on the ground, one of the many civilians in the scene caught in the crossfire.
- Seeing the Capitol children reaching out for the explosives disguised as care packages is heartbreaking.
- Prim's death. She went on the front lines as a medic, trying to help the Capitol children, and got blown to bits in front of her sister!
- The way Katniss is lying on the ground afterward with her clothes on fire... She looked like she was dead too.
- The look on Prim's face when she sees Katniss makes it worse. She sees her sister desperately trying to reach her, calling her name like her life depends on it. She knows there's only one reason Katniss would be that scared for her. You can see the realization hit her, that she's about to die and Katniss is going to see it. In her last moments, she just stares desperately at Katniss, too frightened to move, as though silently begging her to save her.
- Considering that protecting Prim was how Katniss ended up in the Hunger Games in the first place; the unintended revolutionary saved countless lives, but couldn't save her sister.
- Then she wakes up being treated by her mother, who's too stunned and heartbroken by Prim's death to talk to or even look at Katniss.
- Katniss's and Gale's final goodbye. Gale is visibly wrecked by guilt and uncertainty and tears up when it's evident that he's lost all hope with Katniss. Special props to Hemsworth's acting during that scene.
- Katniss's chilling and chilled line, "Goodbye, Gale."
- The implication that Snow's granddaughter would be used as one of the contestants in the next round of Hunger Games that President Coin proposes. The poor kid did nothing wrong and even was a fan of Katniss, but she would have been killed over something her grandfather did.
- While Snow more than deserves the ignominious end that he receives for all of the despicable deeds he has committed throughout his life, it is also sad to realize that it is very likely his granddaughter initially has to endure the prospect of Snow's execution by the arrow of the Tribute that she once looked up to, only to then witness or at least hear about him meeting the even worse fate of being torn apart by an irate mob of citizens as he choked to death on his own blood. She will also have to grow up with the increasing knowledge of what a murderous tyrant her grandfather truly was. One can only hope that she discovered that Snow was not the one behind purposefully bombing Capitol children (for all of his other sins), and that Katniss spared her the awful fate of being in a new Hunger Games by assassinating the one truly responsible for the former, permitting her to arrive at a nuanced view of both.
- Katniss seeing Buttercup the cat in her house and yelling at him that Prim is dead. She then throws things at the cat, screaming at him to get out, until she breaks down crying and hugs Buttercup.
