Tragically left out of the film adaptation, when sweet little Johanna kills the asylum worker holding her captive, something Anthony had been unable to do.
"I will have vengeance! I will have salvation!"
Also sadly left out of the film, "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd". It's meant to sound like a Dies Irae.
"A Little Priest" (my favourite version of it is the Patti LuPone/George Hearn concert version). Utterly breathtaking, utterly hilarious, and a perfect finale to the first act.
Watching Sweeney take his sweet time shaving the guy and still beating Signor Pirelli is pretty awesome.

 * Watching Sweeney take his sweet time shaving the guy and ''still'' beating Signor Pirelli is pretty awesome.

-* "At last! My arm is complete again." This one's a Moment of Awesome mainly because of the [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]] that kicks in as the camera pans out, which replaces "Lift your razor high, Sweeney! / Hear it singing, yes!" from the stage version.
-* Sweeney going into [[Start of Darkness]] mode in "Epiphany":

-* Mrs. Lovett, after Sweeney has killed Signore Pirelli and has suggested merely burying him in a secret place, instead suggests they ''bake him into pies and sell him to the people of London''. Awesome, indeed.
-* Anthony rescuing Johanna from [[Bedlam House]] and then  {{spoiler|leaving Mr. Fogg, the asylum keeper, at the mercy of his "children."}} [[Badass|Bad. Ass.]]

-{{spoiler|'''Sweeney Todd:''' BENJAMIN BARKER!!! [''cue the bloodiest vengeance ever''] }} }}
-* The ever practical Mrs. Lovett's "That's all very well, but what are we gonna do about him?"
-** And of course the {{spoiler|''danse macabre'' after Todd realizes he killed his wife and that Mrs. Lovett had lied to him about her being dead -- complete with him complimenting Mrs. Lovett on being "eminently practical and appropriate as always" before throwing her into her own oven.}}
