10 Most Rewatchable Guardians of the Galaxy Movie Scenes
Summary
James Gunn knows how to craft an incredibly entertaining sequence, with several factors giving the Guardians of the Galaxy movies so much rewatchability. For one, the excellently-chosen soundtracks of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies help add a certain energy and levity to the scenes, making them easy to view as a sort of music video. The expertly handled action scenes and unique ensemble cast also provide plenty of small details to come back and discover with repeat viewings.
10 Star-Lord Drops The MCU's First F-Bomb Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3![]()
Though most of their films ride the boundary of PG-13, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has never been one to push the limits of the rating. While other PG-13 movies use their single F-bomb afforded to them by the MPAA very carefully, most MCU films opt to stay away from the particular curse. Luckily, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was there to break this trend, delivering the MCU its first F-bomb courtesy of Chris Pratt's Star-Lord.
Allegedly, the scene in which Peter Quill tells Nebula to "Open the ****ing door!" while struggling to operate a simple Earth-based car was improvised by Pratt, making for one of the most delightful ad-libbed MCU scenes ever. The sheer shock value of the unexpected F-bomb, not to mention Nebula's shocked reaction that almost sees Karen Gillan breaking character, make this scene endearingly hilarious. It's easy to come back to this comedic scene.
9 Rocket And Yondu Massacre The Ravagers Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2![]()
Guardians of the Galaxy isn't popular as a franchise just because of its humorous scenes. The action direction of the series is also shockingly well done, James Gunn proving time and time again that he knows how to helm a viscerally satisfying action scene. Few examples of this are better than Rocket and Yondu's stand-off against the Ravager crew that imprisons them in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Once Yondu gets his arrow back, it's effortless for him to cut down an entire army of turncoat Ravagers, whistling joyfully as his arrow pierces body after body. Soon after, a joyful Rocket joins in, gunning down yet more Ravagers by shooting through walls while observing them on the ship's camera systems. Set to the tune of Come a Little Bit Closer by Jay & The Americans, the scene has an infectious energy that makes it hard to look away from.
8 The Klyn Jailbreak Guardians of the Galaxy![]()
It's easy to forget how the Guardians of the Galaxy's members came together in the first place. Once upon a time, the team was little more than a motley crew of criminals who happened to find themselves having a common interest. Their first true job together was to break out of the dangerous Klyn prison, something they barely manage to accomplish when so much goes wrong.
From Groot releasing the artificial gravity far too early to Rocket's hilarious reveal that he doesn't actually need a cybernetic leg to complete his plans, there are so many entertaining beats to come back to in this scene. It's fascinating to see the early group working together for the first time, still getting a feel for each other's personality. With this scene, it became obvious that the Guardians of the Galaxy would become one of the most beloved superhero teams in cinema history.
7 Star-Lord's First Scene Guardians of the Galaxy![]()
Introductions are everything in superhero movies, and that goes double for the relatively unheard-of characters of the Guardians of the Galaxy at the time of the first film's release. Luckily, Chris Pratt and James Gunn were able to sell audiences on Star-Lord from quite literally the moment he stepped on screen, with one of the most effortlessly funny screen debuts of any superhero. Striding through a strange alien planet without a care in the world, Star-Lord prepares to steal the mysterious Orb from its protectors.
From Pete Quill's singalong to Come and Get Your Love by Redbone to the joy with which he punts strange alien critters into the horizon, the scene instantly tells the audiences everything they need to know about Star-Lord as a character. It's made even better by Avengers: Endgame, which shows off just how silly Star-Lord looks from a third-person perspective. It's fun to rewatch the scene with War Machine and Nebula in mind hiding just off-camera, commenting on how stupid Quill looks.
6 Star-Lord Takes On Ego Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2![]()
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 saw Star-Lord meet up with his long-lost father, one of the rare Celestials in the Marvel Universe, Ego the Living Planet. Ego quickly turns out to be a cosmic dirt-bag, leading to a final confrontation between him and his son. Beginning at the moment when Peter Quill realizes that he can control his half-Celestial heritage to use the matter of Ego's planet against him, the energy of the scene changes immensely.
This particular sequence is worth coming back to for the montage in which Peter remembers all the fondest moments of his life, which present many blink-and-you'll-miss-it windows into the character's psyche. The Chain by Fleetwood Mac is an excellent backing track for the instant in which Star-Lord is able to turn the tables on his tyrannical father. From the sheer spectacle of the scene to the emotional impact of Peter being able to save his friends, this scene is nothing short of rewatchable bliss.
5 Drax And Mantis' Night Out The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special![]()
Part of the underrated "special feature" format that the MCU has only used twice, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is an obscure, but worthwhile stop in the Guardians' cinematic journey. The standalone sub-feature follows Mantis and Drax's efforts to go to Earth and present Peter Quill with the ultimate Christma present -- His hero, Kevin Bacon. While on their quest, Drax and Mantis get sidetracked by some good old Christmastime libations and merrymaking.
The party scene, set to the under-appreciated holiday jam Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses, is a warm delight, showing off Mantis and Drax's positive interactions with mere Earthlings. It's nice that the festivities don't overshadow previously-established elements of their character, either, with Drax refusing to join Mantis on the dance floor apropos of his "those who dance, and those who do not" speech in the previous movie. The oddball holiday special is worth watching for this merry sequence alone.
4 The Hallway Fight Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3![]()
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is no stranger to a good hallway fight, and James Gunn threw his hat in the ring during his final go at a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Coming together to do battle against the devious High Evolutionary, the Guardians of the Galaxy find themselves in a claustrophic close-quarters battle with the villian's sickening cybernetic creations. What follows is a jaw-dropping one-shot that stands with the best action scenes in a MCU movie ever.
Every member of the team gets to show off their own combat specialties in this scene, from Nebula's cybernetics to Drax's brute strength to Star-Lord's marksmanship. The robotic and alien make-up of their enemies also allows for some cheeky PG-13 "gore" full of splatters of green blood and flying robot parts. It's incredibly entertaining to watch this scene over and over again, focusing the eyes on a new member of the team with every cycle.
3 Star-Lord Learns The Truth About His Mom Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2![]()
Peter Quill often gets a bad rap in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, being regarded by many characters as a low-born, morally-vacant theif with more mixtapes than brain cells. But his genuine moral center is repeatedly established in several key moments throughout the franchise. Most captivating of all of them is the scene in which Ego admits that he killed Star-Lord's mother by implanting a tumor in her brain, something that Quill had assumed was a natural occurrence up until that point.
Prior to this beat, it seems as though Star-Lord is on the verge of joining Ego in his quest to re-shape the universe in his image, his eyes reflecting the dazzling starlight of a grandiose future. However, Ego's mistake in telling him that he was behind the death of his mother immediately grounds him, causing him to unleash a barrage of shots at Ego's body. The promptness with which he does so after simply uttering "What..?" shot the scene into meme royalty, making it rewatchable by popular decree.
2 The Guardians' Line-Up Guardians of the Galaxy![]()
The formation of a team is an important step in any superhero franchise, and the moment it truly happens in Guardians of the Galaxy proves why. Used heavily in promotional materials for the first film, the scene in which the original core Guardians of the Galaxy members are assembled by the Nova corps for imprisonment is a classic for a good reason. The Nova corps goes over their newest prisoners one by one, exposing their crimes, backstories, and alien races.
There are plenty of details to this scene that can only be appreciated on a second glance. The Nova corps X-ray scanners reveal fascinating things about each team member's biology, and the small extra snippets of text that flash along the monitor need a pause button to be appreciated. For the sheer amount of easygoing character exposition and Guardians of the Galaxy Easter Eggs and references to point out, this scene is well-worth multiple viewings.
1 Adam Warlock's Grand Entrance Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3![]()
Star-Lord's barrage of shots on Ego is far from the only scene from the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise to become a noteworthy meme. The infamous shot of Adam Warlock flying through space, set to the tune of Crazy on You by Heart, is a hilariously stunning intro for the long-awaited hero. While countless memes have surfaced using this brief moment, Warlock's actual debut on Knowhere and the fight that follows is a genuinely re-watchable scene.
Like the hallway fight, many different Guardians of the Galaxy get to show off their various powers, with Drax wrestling with Warlock for as long as he can before Nebula lands the finishing blow with her upgraded augments. The scene also does a great job characterizing Warlock himself, portraying him as a naive being with an alien sort of immaturity befitting of his unique origins. From the comedic value of the opening imagery to the nailbiting drama of the following battle, this scene is one of the greatest in the Guardians of the Galaxy series.
