* The scenes showing the full scope of Santa Anna's army are sobering and impressive.
* The Tennesseans' nighttime commando-style raid to steal Santa Anna's cattle may be an example of ArtisticLicenseHistory, but it's audacious, well-choreographed, and entirely successful.
* As the Mexicans come charging after the stolen cattle and the gate is being closed, Colonel Travis pauses to calmly fire a single pistol shot that takes out a pursuer before ducking inside. Even Travis's rival Bowie is impressed.
* Travis defeats two Mexican officers at once in a saber duel right before being shot, then defiantly breaks his sword in half so the enemy can't claim it before dropping dead.
* Bowie spends his last moments firing at various Mexican soldiers from his sickbed with several pre-loaded guns and even manages to cut one final one down with his knife.
* One Alamo defender is stabbed in the stomach with a sword as two Mexicans pin his arms. As his last act, he kicks the swordsman in the chest and then clings onto the men pinning his arms as he falls off the wall, dragging them down with him.
