Awesome / Diary of the Dead

• Diary Of The Dead has a Crowning Character Of Awesome in badass deaf Amish farmer Samuel. The main characters meet him when their RV breaks down. As they're asking if they can use his barn to fix the vehicle, Samuel notices zombies walking toward them. He runs to the barn and grabs what looks like a smoking metal pipe, and throws it at the zombies. It explodes and sends zombie bits everywhere. As the dust clears we get a shot of the stern-looking farmer holding his chalkboard up. It says "I'm Samuel Hello".
• Samuel then gets another moment that's even cooler. Just as he's about to climb into the RV with the main characters and escape with them, a zombie starts chewing on his neck. Without hesitation, Samuel shoves his scythe through both his own head and the head of the zombie that's biting him. That was so badass!
• The female paramedic karate-kicking a zombie in the head.
• Elliot stabbing a zombie several times through the heart with an IV pole, then as he keeps on coming, yelling at Tony, asking him to try to explain that away.
• Tracy's "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Jason after knocking down the zombified Ridley, who'd been chasing her.
• Debra bargaining with the group in the warehouse to let them take more supplies, by staring them down and saying how they could stop them, but she can tell that they're not murderers. The guy is impressed, and lets them go.
• While it's overall a pretty sad scene, Maxwell taking on Debra's family with a bow and arrow.
• Maxwell slicing a zombified Ridley's face in half with a sword from the wall.
• A scene where a group of troops in hazmat suits are checking houses for survivors has one of them attacked by a zombie that he shoots through the head as it presses against his rifle, then, with his rifle still stuck in the zombies head, shoots a couple more through the hole that he'd just made in said head.
