Scream (1996 film)/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Across the series:

  • Dewey gets a single one in each film. He not only survives getting stabbed in the back by the killer in the first film, but in the second one Mrs Loomis stabs him at least several times in the back and still lives. Dewey also is the only character aside from Sidney and Gale to dispatch the killer, shooting Roman Bridger, the third film's Ghostface, in the head.
  • Sidney not only punches the ever living hell out of Gale Weathers in the first Scream, but she does it again in Scream 2 in the same fashion as before.
  • Using Red Right Hand as the series' main theme is pretty awesome and foreboding.
  • Any time Sidney confronts the killer at the end is always a Crowning Moment of Awesome for her. Her final fight scenes are always awesome.

The first film

  • Sidney taking out the killer Stu by dropping a TV on his head.
  • Tatum spending most of her chase scene kicking the killer's ass, smashing his face into a freezer door, hitting him several times in the crotch and face with beer bottles, and finally flipping him onto his back when he tried to bumrush her. Had she just hit the garage door button when she had the chance she would have not only survived her encounter but walked away less injured then the killer.
  • Gale shooting the killer towards the end with the one liner:

Gale: "I guess I remembered the safety that time you bastard."

  • Sidney's phone conversation with the killers:

Sidney: "We're going to play a little game. It's called guess who just phoned the police and reported your sorry mother fucking ass!"

    • Extra points with her using the voice changer as she taunted them. Pure Badass.
