A great scene in cinematic history

So there's this part toward the end of the 1993 John Woo/Jean-Claude Van Damme actioner "Hard Target" where Van Damme and the girl are fleeing through the Louisiana bayou (on their way to see a bow-and-arrow toting, moonshine-brewing Wilford Brimley no less) and they stop and Jean-Claude asks the girl if she trusts him and to shut her eyes. She's all swoony and like "Why do you want me to shut my eyes, Jean-Claude" and shuts them and puckers up. Jean-Claude is somber, and grabs a rattlesnake that was lurking over her shoulder. The girl has one of the all-time great bug-eye takes when she sees the snake. I spent a good 15 minutes trying to get a good screenshot of this, but then the batteries on my digital camera died. Anyway, Jean-Claude, still somber in what I assume is a Cajun way (Cajun somberocity is a decent description of how he plays his character, Chance Boudreaux, throughout the film) then punches the snake out and bites off its rattle (pictured above). That way when the group of human-hunting bad guys pass through the area later, they won't suspect that a now silent rattlesnake is about to fall out of a tree when they pass under it. Which it does, biting a guy in the face. Then Lance Hendrickson blows its (the snake's) head off with his single-loading high caliber handgun (someone shoots the guy who got bit in the face too, I forget if it was Hendrickson).
