  • Jackie Chan and Jet Li finally go toe-to-toe! To wit: Two of the greatest martial arts film icons clash in a wonderful five minute battle in which they show off their styles. Li is dead serious while Chan pulls out a comedic charm but with a Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass touch. The result is a battle that genre fans have dreamed of for years.
  • The Reveal that the Silent Monk is really a clone of Sun Wukong. The fact that Jason was taught by him was awesome.
  • Jason at the end using his new training and skills taught to him from the above duo and defeating the Gang Leader Lupo who had shot Hop even when he attempts to shoot him as well.
    • Jason reacting fast enough to kick Lupo a few seconds after the latter draws out his gun.
    • The best part though is after defeating the gang leader in hand to hand combat, he tells him they don't have to do this, showing his maturity and how much he's grown during his training under both Jackie and Li.
  • When the Monkey King is released, he gives a line. Two words. Two words that make the Jade Warlord give an Oh, Crap!:
    Monkey King: "My turn."
    • Let's not undersell that moment, the Monkey King's first move is charging the Jade Warlord, spinning his staff to deflect another magical wave, preventing the Warlord from imprisoning him in stone a second time. He then strikes him so hard the Jade Warlord goes flying across the room, smashing into his throne and shattering it into pieces. The rest of the fight is barely anything more than completely owning his foe. Props to the Warlord, he looks more irritated than anything else when he pulls himself back up.
  • The staff, an inanimate object, gets one during the bridge scene.
