  • Will Graham bursts through the window of Dolarhyde's house in slow-motion, set to Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida".
  • Dolarhyde's one man rampage as he battles it out with what seems to be a small army of police, absorbing at least one point blank bullet with seemingly no effect, qualifies too. As does the moment when Graham puts five Glaser slugs through him.
  • Will's "Eureka!" Moment will have your blood pumping. No bells or whistles, just a quiet scene with two actors giving great performances, helped by a musical score slowly building up until you see Will's face lighting up with realization.
  • Doubles with a Heartwarming Moment: Will takes his son shopping and comes clean to him, telling him what he has to do for a living, and the effect it has on him. His son looks at him, then changes the subject, but it's clear that they've made it over a hurdle: Will's son understands and accepts what his dad has to do.
