- Although she was just a girl, Soo Yung didn't get kidnapped without a fight. She whips Sang with her bracelet, scarring his face, which she kicks him multiple times too before that.
- Lee escaping Carter's watchful eye by hopping on street lights and jumping into vehicles (as they're moving!)
- Plus, the fact that Carter was able to keep up with Lee during the entire chase!
- Carter, riding in a tow truck pulls up to the Consulate. Then he meets the guard Lee laid the smack-down on earlier. Also counts a funny moment before and after Lee takes off Carter's car steering wheel.Carter: Hey, man, y'all see a little Asian dude about this height with a steering wheel on his arm?Guard #1: Go screw yourself.Carter: What did you say?Guard #1: I said go screw yourself.Carter: You take your little sensitive ass up there and let me in. Get out of the way! Don't make me get up out of this truck! Man, when I get up in there I'm slappin' somebody, I don't play that.
- For that matter, Lee escaping Carter's car with his handcuffs by taking off his car's steering wheel and infiltrating the consulate.
- The climax, full stop. A mexican standoff between Juntao's bodyguards and the FBI agents which gets turned on it's head when Carter gets a hold of Soo-Yung and demands they activate the detonator, then things go to hell with Lee mercilessly hunting down Juntao, getting a hold of him and lasting long enough that Juntao falls to his death. Special mention goes Carter and Sang doing a gun draw when Agent Russ was shot by Juntao. Then of course, Carter shot Sang directly in the heart.Carter: "Wipe yourself off, man. You dead."
- Carter is really good at this sort of badass speech after he downright refuses his pending FBI badge from Agents Russ and Whitney.Carter: You serious? I don't know what to say. It's like a dream come true. I got an idea though, I got an idea. Why don't y'all take that badge and shove it up your ass. All up in your ass. I'm L.A.P.D.
