Awesome / Congo

• When Peter has been dragged out of his cover by the grey gorillas, and they are about to kill him, the music swells and Amy appears, roaring; telling those bastards to back off and hugging Peter close.
  • Which is grounded in fact. Many species of apes and monkeys will grab an infant or small juvenile as a way to show they are giving up fighting.
  • And then Karen uses the latest thing in communications to burn a path through the grey gorillas.
  Karen: We're getting out here!
  Monro: What about them?
  Karen: Put 'em on the endangered species list!
• Kahega cuts a snake's head off with one swipe and its body falls off the branch.
• Towards the end, Karen learns Travis only sent her on this expedition, not to save the missing team, but for the sheer greed of acquiring one of the lost city's diamonds. Never mind that his son was among the dead missing party. Livid, she coolly reminds him of her earlier promise: that she would make him pay for his exploitation. Bear in mind that aside from treating his son as expendable, he sent another expedition that died on the way there, which means there's blood on Travis's hands. On the spot, she makes good on her promise. How? She takes the laser gun, the diamond that can enhance its capabilities, and by combining the two, zaps Travis's cash cow satellite out of the sky.
  • There's also the pun behind it: she engineered a literal Laser-Guided Karma.
