* The Droogs easily overpower Billy Boy's gang in the fight at the beginning, which is brilliantly set to Music/GioachinoRossini's overture for ''La gazza ladra''. Special mention goes to Dim, who takes on two guys on his own and has the time of his life doing so.

* Meta-example. Before filming the scene in which Julian carries Frank Alexander's wheelchair up the stairs, Creator/DavidProwse, who played Julian, asked Creator/StanleyKubrick, due to the difficulty of the task, to film the scene in as little takes as possible. When Prowse said, "You're not exactly known as [[PrimaDonnaDirector 'one-take-Kubrick']], are you?", the crew reacted in horror, surprised that Kubrick was talked to like this. Kubrick, however, laughed and promised to do his best. The scene was then filmed in only three takes, an incredibly small amount by Kubrick standards. Even so, Prowse was near exhaustion from the repeated takes of carrying Frank and his wheelchair down the stairs.

** Perhaps Kubrick knew that if he dared to question David Prowse, [[Characters/StarWarsDarthVaderAndServants Prowse would find his lack of faith disturbing]].

* Though it ends in her death, the Cat Lady's fight against Alex could count as this. Unlike his previous victims, she doesn't cower and cringe, but angrily orders him out of her house before going after him full throttle. Most notably, she doesn't fall for his "car crash" ploy, instead phoning the police and hence setting the wheels in motion for his arrest. And it's set to the ''Gazza Ladra'' overture by Rossini, [[RuleOfThree once again]].

* Alex giving Georgie and Dim a correction for contesting his leadership, in slow motion, and gorgeously set to the same aforementioned Rossini piece.
