  • The crocodile. Seriously, it ate a fucking bear. Can you really get any more badass than that, other than maybe devouring a shark to go with it? And it's pretty likely that it munched on a shark or two as it made its way up the Eastern Seaboard.
  • Almost any scene with Reba in it. In addition to her fighting skills, she's very good at calling the other characters out on their stupid actions and functions as an Only Sane Man throughout 3 and 4.
  • In 3, Tony jams a paddle into one of the crocodiles' mouth as it prepares to eat him, keeping it from bringing its jaw down and allowing him to escape.
  • In the fourth film, Elaine, Brittany, and the swim coach grab a Spear Carrier victim and try to pull him out of a croc’s maw as he is being eaten, despite the danger this puts them in and how they had a chance to duck and hide.
