Funny / Hardcore Henry

Go To

  • The scene of Estelle's scientists calibrating Henry's voice module, with the man trying give Henry the voice of Louis Armstrong and Darth Vader.
  • When Jimmy and Henry meet for the first time and Jimmy finds out Henry can't talk: "Three years I've been waiting for this moment, I get Charlie Fucking Chaplin!"
  • Henry is cut loose from a rapidly ascending helicopter that is also speeding away as fast as it can. As Henry is coasting in on pure momentum, it appears that he's going to break his landing with a pond. He overshoots it by a meter and hits a tree instead.
  • The horse-taming scene. Music swells dramatically and for a moment, it feels like the game's ripping off The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Adding to the surrealism of the moment is the fact that it's bright daylight in happy field, with the horse just prancing around, right after a long string of grueling fights. Finally, Henry manages to mount the horse... and it promptly throws him off. Made all the better since it's the Magnificent Seven theme.
  • The moment the tank arrives. Henry looks at a tank, looks at a katana in his hands, and promptly starts to run for his life.
  • During the car chase, Jimmy removes a gun from under Biker!Jimmy's crotch with audible squeaking from the shiny leather bodysuit.
  • "That has got to be the gayest jacket I've ever seen."
  • Henry's pure confusion at Jimmy coming Back from the Dead for the first and second time, and then his, "Well, whatever" reaction to Jimmy dying for the third time.
  • Jimmy explains to Henry how to prevent his mechanical parts from shutting down by killing one of Akan's allies:
    Bum!Jimmy: All you gotta do. Is break in. Kill him. Open up his ribcage. Take out his beating heart...and fucking eat it...I'm kidding!
    Henry: (throws his arms up in exasperation)
  • The exchange between first Jimmy and Henry.
    Jimmy: You have a wife?!
    Henry: *nods*
    Jimmy: Huh. So, how's that working out for you?
    Henry: *makes 'so-so' gesture*
    [Beat]
    Jimmy: Yeah, what a shocker.
  • Henry trying to grab gun after gun as Jimmy doesn't let him have them, and calls them all by names.
  • Colonel!Jimmy's summation of the entire abandoned hotel fight scene.
    Jimmy: Jolly good!
    • Henry's little mock salute at Colonel!Jimmy's absurdly serious mission briefing prior to making their exit.
  • At the brothel, Henry is told that a gun is in a dresser drawer. The girls point out helpfully that it's in the bottom drawer after we see a big dildo in the one Henry opens first.
  • The two dominatrixes from the brothel screaming at Jimmy for Akan's invasion, with the discussion getting so heated, even subtitles can't keep up. Henry tries to insert himself into the conversation before giving up and just watching from the sidelines.
  • Jimmy being sky-high on coke in brothel scene, and his antics there, here are some highlights:
    • After he decides that he can't help Henry in his drugged up state he tries to go to the door, and immediately collapses. Going by the amount of times he's died, you'd be forgiven for thinking he died from a drug overdose.
    • Cokehead!Jimmy bursting into the room where Henry first meets the dominatrixes, carrying a Molotov, screaming.
    Jimmy: The floor is fucking lava! I'm gonna burn- Oh crap, Katya!
  • After Jimmy finally gets Henry to the entrance of his lab, Jimmy enters by politely hanging his Sniper Rifle and wiping his shoes on the welcome mat. when Henry enters Jimmy just stares at him, Henry realizes what he wants him to do, and wipes his shoes at the mat.
  • Jimmy's sarcastic congratulations to Henry after he kills the rapist cops.
    "Good one, Charlie Bronson."
  • The ending.
    Estelle: Henry! Listen to your heart!
    Henry: *promptly sends her to a Disney Villain Death*
    • EZnote 
  • As Jimmy and Henry are about to Storm the Castle, they find a remarkable lack of anybody waiting outside or defending the front door. Jimmy wanders into the wide-open area in front of the building and shouts at the top of his lungs "Akan is a cunt!" to see if there's any reaction. Nothing happens, so he just looks back at Henry, shrugs and moves on.
  • Jimmy — or rather, his clones — begin to sing Under My Skin while a dumbfounded Henry tries his best to make sense out of the situation.
  • In the credits, because so few characters are actually named, most of the people are given names describing what happen to them or what they do.
    • Security Guy Interacting With Pliers.
    • Escalator Face Plant Girl.
    • One Arm Dog-Walker.
    • Car Fetishist.
    • Tray-In-The-Head John in Brothel.
    • Flying Brothel Girl.
    • Higher-Self Merc.
    • Electric Skeleton Cyborg.
    • Rock-In-The-Head Cyborg.
  • This behind the scenes video shows us Sniper Jimmy's tastes in fashion.
  • When Jimmy is confronting Henry about Akan's backup video feed. It should be concerning, but it's hard to keep a straight face when a Heroic Mime is trying to convey his innocence with hand gestures.
    Jimmy: Thank you, Henry. Fuck you, too. But mostly thanks.
  • Colonel Jimmy's tip on grenades. "A grenade a day keeps the enemy at bay."
    • "If you can hear them, but you can't see them, you can probably grenade them. Drop an egg down there, laddy." It's like an NPC guiding you through a tutorial mission.
  • If you look closely during the scene where Hippy Jimmy rescues Henry from being buried in a shallow grave, one of the henchmen who gets killed falls into the grave they were digging for Henry.
  • The opening credits are set to The Stranglers' tune "Let Me Down Easy". It features people being shot, stabbed, hit with baseball bats, and generally not being let down easy at all.
