The whole damn movie is the epitome of [[RatedMForManly manly]] [[TheEighties 80s]] OneManArmy awesome that could only be rivaled by the likes of ''Franchise/{{Rambo}}'' at the time, but it wouldn't do it justice not to point out some key points.

* Matrix's EstablishingCharacterMoment as a badass ActionHero: his house gets attacked, and in checking up on Jenny's bedroom, he only finds a dead bodyguard and Diaz calmly waiting for him, [[KickTheDog taunting him with Jenny's "I love you, Daddy" card in his hand]]. Matrix realizes [[DamselInDistress his daughter is already being kidnapped]], but [[IHaveYourWife as Diaz pressures him to cooperate]], Matrix makes it crystal-clear he's not taking ''any'' of their shit.
-->'''Diaz''': And if you want your kid back... then you gotta cooperate. Right?\\
'''Matrix''': ''[[ShutUpHannibal Wrong]]''. ''([[BoomHeadshot blasts him in the face]] and chases after Jenny's kidnappers)''

** Despite having both his daughter as a hostage and a gun trained on him John, knowing his sadistic tendencies is able to dare Bennett into letting Jenny go and dropping his gun to fight him one on one and giving John a chance rather than just shooting him or using Jenny to stop John from resisting. When he's clearly losing Bennett pulls the gun again, but it still gave John enough of a fair fight to eventually get the win.

because Arnold Schwarzenegger jumping from a plane as it takes off is freaking amazing.

** And then Matrix breaks out of the cargo hold onto the landing gear and jumps from the plane, into a conveniently located swamp, as it takes off.

* Matrix is forced to be on a plane with one of the BigBad's henchmen in order carry out his mission. As they're on the plane, Matrix asks for a pillow and blanket, and then as he reaches forward…he snaps his his elbow back, knocking the baddie unconscious, snaps his neck like a twig and then ''[[RefugeInAudacity disguises him like he's simply asleep.]]'' And then, what does he say to the flight attendant?
--> '''Matrix:''' Excuse me? Please, don't disturb my friend. He's ''dead'' tired.

added new point to top (chronological order)

Added DiffLines:

* The bad guys remove engine parts from Matrix's car to make sure he can't chase them, but there's one thing they didn't consider: their escape route is a winding road going downhill. So Matrix pushes his broken car, gets in, and "drives" it straight down the hill, steering it to avoid the trees. This sets the tone for the rest of the movie.
