- The diagonal speech, wordless Keitel–De Niro coffee-shop tension and ensemble bar scenes are early favorites.
- Superboy’s shooting and staged jump launch the plot with enjoyable bar, bridge and evidence-planting details; Calderon’s suspicion and the bottle causing the blowout are praised.
- Keitel and De Niro’s reunion and guarded Amish exchange make the hosts want more scenes together.
- The bar sequence moves from Berg’s gambling dispute through Patrick’s dart confrontation and Figgsy’s demand not to be shut out; it is a leading choice.
- Ray’s attempted pool drowning of Superboy is a strong dramatic candidate despite upcoming nitpicks.
- Both Stallone–De Niro confrontations work, especially the famous “You blew it” tirade and the immediate realization that Freddy has revived the case.
- Figgsy rejecting Freddy’s justice and warning that being right is not a bulletproof vest is another favorite.
- The final shootout and De Niro’s shouted “Go to lunch” case closure are nominated.
- The rooftop sequence with Berg is praised for Serpico-like tenement geography and dead ends.
- The whole Figgsy bar sequence is explicitly selected as a Sopranos precursor; “You blew it” receives the other explicit final choice.
