'''Alan''': I'm terrified. But my father says you should always face what you're afraid of.

'''Alan looks down and notices his game piece moving to the end of the board, after which the word "Jumanji" appears.'''
'''Alan''': ...Jumanji.

'''Alan''': JUMANJI! }}
* Alan busting out his ancestor's Civil War saber to deal with the plants. "Sorry, Angus. Harvest time!"
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Possibly when Judy tells Aunt Nora that she didn't lie when she found out the only reason they were able to get the house dirt cheap was because a supposed murder took place.

'''Judy''': Fine! There's nowhere to go in this stupid town anyway! And just for your information: that wasn't a lie!
''(Nora lifts her head up)'' }}
* When Van Pelt fires at Alan, Sarah attempts a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] by leaping in the way. She had no way of knowing there was going to be a [[Reset Button]], and if there hadn't been, but Alan hadn't rolled the right number to reach Jumanji, her turn would have been next. Even if the game skipped her (and Judy), she had no way of knowing if Alan and Peter still playing would have ended everything and brought them back to life, but she still did it anyway. Aside from showing she loved Alan, that's pretty awesome coming from someone who was so traumatized she had to spend two thousand hours in therapy for 26 years--and it's also her making up for [[My Greatest Failure|having fled and left Alan in the jungle all that time]].
* Julia's greatest moment comes when she is shot in the ''neck'' with poisonous barbs. The twelve-year-old ''child'' spends about five seconds processing what has happened and the fact that she will almost surely die, before [[Stoic Woobie|calmly pulling out the barbs]] and telling her brother "[[Blatant Lies|I'm fine]]. [[Greater Need Than Mine|Help them]]", then bringing the game board over to Alan so he can roll his turn without a word of complaint. [[Nerves of Steel]] doesn't even ''begin'' to cover it.
