Per wiki policy, Spoilers Off applies here and all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

  • Duke and Ripcord running through the streets of Paris with Accelerator Suits.
  • Snake Eyes vs Storm Shadow in their first meeting. An excellent fight between two children just beating the crap out of each other.
    • Yup. Every meeting of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow is a Moment of Awesome.
    • Pretty much anything Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow do qualifies.
  • Duke facing off against Rex/Cobra Commander.
    Cobra Commander: You and what army, Duke?
    Duke: My army. (cue the hundreds of Joe SHARCs behind Duke's submarine)
  • The Joes' Big Damn Heroes scene in the beginning, started off by Snake Eyes leaping from the Joes' plane, and right into battle.
  • Duke's minisub was being chased by 2 enemy minisubs. He was about to crash into a wall but he was able to pull up at the last moment causing minisub #1 to crash, then using the momentum to torpedo minisub #2
  • Snake Eyes is so epic that Storm Shadow had developed a "Snake Eyes just did something awesome" sense. It can be seen when Snake Eyes manages to destroy the missile heading for China. Keep in mind he has no way of actually knowing it's Snake Eyes, but as soon as the missile is destroyed:
    Storm Shadow: He is here.
    • Also when Snake Eyes appears to have been dropped into the road during the car chase in Paris. Look at Storm Shadow's face as he says that. He knows something is seriously wrong if Snake Eyes bailed.
      Baroness: He gave up.
      Storm Shadow: (holding up a finger) He never gives up.
      (cue their hummer getting hit by a train)
  • Ripcord's Big Damn Heroes moment, killing a Nanomite-enhanced soldier with a forklift.
  • Duke disabling the nanomites destroying Paris.
  • Cobra Commander gets a pretty damn big one, despite being captured and his organisation crushed. He wins.
  • Ripcord versus the warheads. Dóiteáin!
