Awesome / Kangaroo Jack

Go To

  • Louis does an impressive job of slipping the envelope with the money through customs with some sleight-of-hand and acting like he has nothing to hide.
  • The brief Evil vs. Evil fight between Frankie, Smith, and their respective goons after Frankie tries to fire the Australians and Smith protests they have a contract. The crowner is Frankie knocking Smith out at the end and saying, "Contract terminated."
  • The final chase for the money, with the main trio pursuing the kangaroo on camels as the mobsters drive after them (while shooting) is pretty decent, especially when Charlie briefly covers their windshield with a thrown blanket. The Awesome Music in the background certainly doesn't hurt.
  • As the tranquilizer dart kicks in, Blue briefly manages to steer the plane with his knees after his arms go numb.
  • After the main trio is captured, they use Charlie's hairdressing scissors to get out of the ropes binding them. Louis does a good job distracting the villains by threatening to throw a rock at them while giving a bogus Badass Boast about being a pitching prodigy as Charlie sneaks up and takes their gun.
  • Charlie takes down a fleeing Frankie with bolas while yelling for Frankie to "Go long!" Just like Frankie did years ago when he tried to drown Charlie by sending him into a dangerous part of the beach for a football pass.
