* After Henk and Nintendo sign the deal, Belikov tells them to get out of the country as soon as they can, as Robert send the KGB after them in retaliation for ruining the deal for him. As Trifonov and his men corner our heroes and moves in to arrest them, Alexey speeds into the scene nearly running over the KGB agents and piles Henk, Howard, and Minoru into the car and speeds away with the KGB in HotPursuit.

* Alexey finally evades the KGB by driving the wrong way up a one-way alley and, [[DoYouTrustMe with Henk's encouragement]], gunning his tiny little car through the narrow gap between an oncoming lorry truck and a building, just barely squeezing through. When Trifonov and his goons try the same maneuver, their much wider [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAZ_Volga#First_Generation,_the_GAZ-M-21 Volga]] gets sandwiched by the lorry while their backup get hopelessly piled-up behind them, leaving them in the dust. The moment becomes more awesome when you realise it's actually a clever use of TheTetrisEffect in an actual action scene.

* Alexey evading Trifonov and the KGB by driving his tiny little car the wrong way up a one-way lane and squeezing through the space between a lorry truck and a building. It works, as Trifonov's much wider executive class [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAZ_Volga#First_Generation,_the_GAZ-M-21 Volga]] gets sandwiched while the other KGB cars crash into the lorry and get caught in a pile-up.

* Belikov's BatmanGambit on [[CorruptBureaucrat Robert Stein]], calling him out and forcing him to sign a LeonineContract for the Arcade rights the Stein stiffed the Russians on. It's all a ruse to distract him and prevent him from seeing that [[ReadTheFinePrint the contract now has a more restrictive definition of the term "home computer", thus depriving him of console rights]]. It works. Very impressive for someone who didn't even know what a home console was just a few hours ago.

* Henk outsmarting Trifonov. Trifonov assumed he would be on the next plane to Tokyo. However, he didn't count on them simply taking the next flight out of the country, not necessarily Tokyo. He gets on the flight to Tokyo expecting to find Henk, only to see the plane they're actually on taking off.

** The RealLife version of the gambit is especially awesome too! There were no Arcade rights involved. Belikov merely roasted Stein for not paying his due royalties and forced some increased rates and penalties on Stein (that he was always prepared to lower). Stein was so focused on the rates that he failed to ReadTheFinePrint, just like he did in the movie.
* The moment Henk Rogers exposes the Maxwells' lies to the heads of Nintendo Howard Lincoln & Minoru Arakawa and they ''all head together'' to Moscow to finally secure the Video Game and Handheld rights to Tetris, is one that will stay with you, especially if you are a longtime Nintendo fan.
* Belikov [[NasalTrauma headbutting Robert Maxwell through the nose]] after the CorruptCorporateExecutive attempts to physically attack him for signing a deal with Nintendo. It's short and sweet and the bastard deserved it.
** Right after that, the tired and fed-up Belikov makes a sign cueing the shocked Kevin Maxwell to [[GetOut get the hell out of his office]]. Kevin Maxwell [[VillainExitStageLeft wisely complies]].
* After Henk and Nintendo sign the deal, Belikov tells them to get out of the country as soon as they can, as Robert send the KGB after them in retaliation for ruining the deal for him. As Trifonov and his men corner our heroes and moves in to arrest them, Alexey speeds into the scene nearly running over the KGB agents and piles Henk, Howard, and Minoru into the car and speeds away with the KGB in HotPursuit.
