Awesome / Scream 3

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked. You have been warned.

• Ghostface gets one by tricking someone into going back inside the house. Prior to this, Ghostface was faxing script pages to the actors, and when they finally decide to get out of the house, Ghostface then sends one last page, leading one actor to go back inside to read it, only to get himself (and the house) blown up. Did we mention the house was filled with gas from a leaking pipe, and that the character uses a lighter to see what the next part of the script was?
  • After the explosion sends the survivors tumbling down the hill, Dewey sees Gale about to be attacked by Ghostface. He calls out to her like many other people got just before being stabbed....and then immediately shoots Ghostface multiple times from long range with a handgun before he can do anything.
  • Another one goes to Ghostface just for being Crazy-Prepared. Roman survives being shot in the chest by wearing a Bulletproof Vest, which is the only reason he doesn't get killed halfway through the movie.
• Gale slugging Jennifer in retaliation for her punching Dewey during the middle of a Heroic BSoD after Ghostface blows up Jennifer's house and kills Stone and Tom.
  Jennifer: My. Lawyer. Liked. That!
  Gale: Not as much as I did.
• Jennifer goes out fighting Ghostface, even managing to land a few blows.
• Dewey giving the finishing shot to the killer.
  • Before even that, his threatening words to the killer when trying to get the door open.
    Dewey: You hurt her, I swear I'LL KILL YOU!!
• Sidney's stopping the killer during his motive rant with the following:
  Sidney: God, why don't you stop your whining and get on with it? I've heard this shit before!
  Roman: STOP!
  Sidney: Do you know why you kill people, Roman? Do you?
  Roman: I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!
  Sidney: BECAUSE YOU CHOOSE TO! There is no one else to blame!
  Roman: DAMN IT, FUCKING DAMN IT!
  Sidney: Why don't you take some FUCKING responsibility?!
  Roman: FUCK YOU!
  Sidney: FUCK YOU!!

  [They charge each other and a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown ensues.]
• Sidney revealing she has another gun hidden on the same leg. Her first gun had been found by the metal detector, tricking Ghostface into thinking that was all she had.
  Sidney: It's your turn to scream, asshole.
• Randy's video, for his hilarious predictions of who was gonna say what, and for his unwavering dedication to his friends - not only hanging around when he knew he probably wouldn't make it, but also making sure they would have his help.
• Cotton not giving Ghostface/Roman the information where Sidney was in the beginning, as his way of protecting her and helping him get back his life after she incarcerated him for a year for the murder of Maureen. Granted, he gets killed, but it's still badass even knowing that.
• Cotton's girlfriend Christine arming herself and trying to fight back after getting the call from Ghostface, even if she can only injure him non-fatally in the end.
• Dewey is Genre Savvy enough that when he got a suspicious phone call asking for information about Sidney, he moved all of the files on her to a new hiding spot, keeping them safe when that same caller broke in a few weeks later to steal the files.
• Sarah putting up a brief fight, shoving a table at Ghostface and trying to swing something at him.
• A dying Stone managing to make it all the way from the trailer to the house after suffering multiple stab wounds to warn the others.
• Tyson tackling Ghostface after being knocked down, buying the others a little time, and then managing to put up an impressive chase despite a knife wound to his stomach (to the point where Ghostface can't catch up to him without yanking out the rug from under Tyson).
• Jennifer managing to bribe the studio clerk for the records on Maureen (especially after Gale had just failed).
• Jennifer being Genre Savvy enough to hire bodyguards (including someone who helped fight previous Ghostfaces) once the killings start again.
• Roman killing John Milton, after all the people he hurt and the lives he ruined.
