  • Angst? What Angst?: After finding out that he was adopted, watching his parents die, and being on the run from trained killers for a day, Nathan calls it "a pretty exciting first date" and makes out with Karen.
  • Award Snub: Taylor Lautner and Lily Collins didn't receive a Best Kiss nomination at the MTV Movie Awards in 2012 despite it being the most popular scene in the movie to the point that it's often sought out online.
  • Complete Monster: Nikola Kozlow is a former Serbian black ops agent seeking to possess control of the "Naked Eye", an encrypted list of 25 American agents and politicians who've traded state secrets. Years earlier, learning American black ops agent Martin Price took it from him, Kozlow gasses his apartment, breaks inside and murders Martin's wife Lorna when she refuses to tell him where the list is. Presently seeking Martin's teenage son Nathan, Kozlow tracks him through a missing persons website and sends two men to break into his house where they kill Nathan's undercover adoptive parents Kevin and Mara Harper. Taking out numerous American agents in his relentless pursuit of Nathan and having no reservations about trying to have him killed or do it himself, Kozlow also threatens to kill everyone even remotely associated with Nathan's life, especially the parents of his Love Interest Karen Murphy.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Nathan spends a whole night wrapped around Karen, just as Jacob had to with Bella. Even funnier now that Lily Collins and Kristen Stewart have both played Snow White!
  • Just Here for Godzilla: The intense kiss and makeout scene on the train between Nathan and Karen is often deemed the most sought after part of the film, down to the videos of it on YouTube having more views than any other clip from the movie.
