  • The Droogs easily overpower Billyboy's gang in the fight at the beginning, which is brilliantly set to Gioachino Rossini's overture for La gazza ladra. Special mention goes to Dim, who takes on two guys on his own and has the time of his life doing so.
  • Alex giving Georgie and Dim a correction for contesting his leadership, in slow motion, and gorgeously set to the same aforementioned Rossini track.
  • Though it ends in her death, the Cat Lady's fight against Alex could count as this. Unlike his previous victims, she doesn't cower and cringe, but angrily orders him out of her house before going after him full throttle. Most notably, she doesn't fall for his "car crash" ploy, instead phoning the police and hence setting the wheels in motion for his arrest. And it's set to the Gazza ladra overture by Rossini, once again.
