** Payakan's ambush on the Sea Dragon also gives Spider an opening, amidst the chaos on the bridge, to quickly sabotage and sink the ship. With just a fire extinguisher in hand, he knocks out the pilot, pushes the ship to full power, and breaks the throttle, sending the Sea Dragon speeding at full power toward a rocky reef... all while one engine is spewing flames from an exploded whaling boat that Payakan had flipped onto the ship's roof. The sight of the Sea Dragon hurtling into the air before slamming back into the water, now wrecked, is truly something to behold.

* When the Metkayina are preparing for battle, Tonowari tries to convince Ronal (who's visibly pregnant) to stay behind, but Ronal determinantly insists she rides.

* Kiri using her newfound abilities to ensnare and kill some whalers underwater.
* Neytiri's RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Quaritch's team after the death of Neteyam. She practically eliminated an entire team of Recombinants and RDA soldiers, leaving Quaritch the sole survivor.

*** For starters, Quaritch was mounting an ''Ikran'' during the aerial combat, and displaying impressive flight capabilities on par with Sully's, all while armed with an assault rifle. Hell, you can tell he's an InstantExpert as after bonding with his Ikran for days at best, he's able to keep up with ''Neytiri.''

* The battle between Jake and Quaritch is the predecessor taken to another level.
-->'''Quaritch:''' You're not leaving, are you, Jake? Knowing I'm out there. Knowing that [[{{Determinator}} I'll never stop]]. I'm coming for you. And when I do, [[AndYourLittleDogToo I'll kill your whole family.]]\\
'''Jake:''' [[PreAssKickingOneLiner Then let's get it done.]]

** Sully's new steed, the Skimwing, got the upper hand on water. How? By catching the Ikran within its jaws and pulling the Ikran underwater, in a move not unlike a mix between a flying fish and a ''crocodile death roll.''
** The final battle between the two humanoid Na'vis in the sinking whaling vessel deserves a moment, as despite gradually devolving into a fistfight between the two, it showcases two hardened, experienced Marines fighting in their new bodies, not unlike how humans would fight.

* Payakan's BigDamnHeroes moment, leaping out of the water and attacking the Sea Dragon after after seeing Lo'ak and his siblings in danger. The RDA finally gets a true taste of a tulkun's intelligence, as Payakan ricochets one harpoon off his head onto the ship, dodges a second harpoon later on, and then uses the latter's attached cable to rip the whalers' boat apart. Him getting revenge by cleaving off head whaler Scoresby's arm is a crowd favorite.

* When the Seadragon is sinking, and Tuk falls down a hatch, Neytiri immediately dives in after her not even hesitating (she already lost one child, and she wasn't gonna lose another).
* After Spider saves his life, Quaritch all but pleads for his son to come with him back to Bridgehead. Spider's reply? An angry Na'vi hiss. The fact that Spider does not even bother to give Quaritch a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech "Jake Sully will always be a better father to me than you will ever be" remark]] (in those exact words) just goes to show that his real father is not worth talking to anymore.
** Another one for Spider, when he was put into some kind some kind of high-tech MindProbe interrogation machine to find out any information about the Sully family's whereabouts he remained defiant and refused to give Gen. Ardmore any information until Quaritch stopped the interrogation and tried a different approach. Later even Quaritch said he was [[VillainRespect impressed]] by Spider's loyalty and also complimented his son on giving the RDA scientists '''absolutely nothing''' despite them working him over pretty hard.

* While it's certainly a chilling sight, the return of the humans by decelerating from interstellar velocities so hard they obliterate the jungle around the landing sites for miles around sends a message that the RDA isn't playing around this time.

* Payakan's BigDamnHeroes moment, leaping out of the water and attacking the Sea Dragon after after seeing Lo'ak and his siblings in danger. The tulkun finally gets a chance to demonstrate his intelligence, ricocheting one harpoon off his head onto the ship, dodging a second harpoon later on, and then using the latter's attached cable to rip the whalers' boat apart. Him getting revenge by cleaving off the arm of the head whaler is a crowd favorite.

* The RDA, and by extension, the humans, definitely TookALevelInBadass in this movie. You can tell as even the ''civilian whalers'' are capable of coordinating a hunt for the Tulkun with military-like precision. It goes to show how humans are now fully ready to make Pandora their new home.

* The oceans of Pandora in general, but most of all the ''tulkun'' - sapient whales with bioluminescent Maori markings.
