* The entire time of Caesar in the ape shelter. After being bullied by the biggest chimpanzee around, Caesar finds a way around it by freeing a [[AlwaysABiggerFish Buck the gorilla]], turning him into his ally, and using him to intimidate his aggressor (and all the other chimpanzees by proxy) into submission. Impressive, but that's merely the beginning, Caesar doesn't just look for a way to be on top, he looks for a way to give freedom to ''all the apes''. Special mention to him managing to sneak out in the middle of the night, go to his former home, steal vials of the ALZ 12 and give to his fellow apes in the span of one night ''completely unnoticed'', and then training them without being discovered.

** What really makes it is the setup. Audiences have been known to either laugh or groan in response to the [[MythologyGag "damn dirty apes"]] line... until [[MoodWhiplash Caesar yells "NO!"]], and they go ''[[StunnedSilence dead quiet]]''. It's a real CMOA when even the ''audience'' is thinking "OhCrap". There's even a reaction shot of ''Buck the Gorilla'' in shock. It's also compounded by the fact that the movie itself goes sielt right after.

* The entire scene with Dodge fighting Caesar in the atrium of the ape shelter. Not only does Caesar take a few jabs from a stun baton and not back down, but he eventually evades the attacks, repeatedly throwing Dodge off balance. He finally stands up for himself and doesn't feel like taking any more JerkAss from then on. Then after the ShoutOut to the original with Dodge delivering Charlton Heston's famous line, Caesar stands up tall and straight and roars out an epic BigNo. Followed by a slew of OhCrap moments, and possibly, for Dodge, a BringMyBrownPants moment.

But Ceasar saw through their plans, sent Maurice and Koba around to ambush the humans, and basically turned the table on their ambush in no time at all.
