As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.

  • The scene of the main cast walking to the cars in slow motion to the tune of "Little Green Bag". That is all.
  • Mr. Pink's action sequence, especially since he was able to successfully escape with the diamonds even after the robbery fell apart.
  • After Mr. Brown crashes the getaway car, Mr. White calmly gets out and cocks his guns before effortlessly killing a pair of cops who pursued them, Guns Akimbo style.
  • Mr. Brown was able to drive himself, Mr. Orange, and Mr. White away from the botched robbery after being shot in the head. Though he eventually succumbs to his wounds, he was still able to drive a considerable distance, and mostly lost the cops other than one cruiser that caught up to them a few minutes later.
  • Mr. Orange emptying his whole gun into Mr. Blonde to save Marvin Nash. With a bullet in his gut. And since he'd been a hysterical wreck before that scene, the effect is even more powerful.
  • The fact that Marvin knew that Mr. Orange was a cop and didn't say jackshit to Mr. Blonde, as he was being tortured and even almost lit on fire.
  • The Mexican Stand Off, full stop.
    • Made even more epic when you realize that Mr. White is able to shoot both Joe and Nice Guy Eddie dead in the time it takes Eddie to fatally wound him.
      • Given White's statement about he and Mr. Orange "doing time" following the shooting, it's possible that Eddie's shot wasn't even fatal.
    • Material on the 10th anniversary DVD set has indicated that Eddie's squib was not supposed to go off at the moment it did, but for an unknown reason, it was triggered at the same time that Mr. White's and Joe's were. The actor playing Eddie, Chris Penn, fell down because it felt like he ought to, and Tarantino chose not to reshoot the scene, both to save money on the production and because he felt it might turn out to be "the biggest controversy of the movie".
