I: a promising loophole that should be tested out more: retrying right after a fade-in ends (yes, the timing seems to be fade-in specific) can cause a checkpoint glitch. Instead of your usual opaque loading screen, the game shows you everything that is happening inside the game as it is being reloaded. Also, if the loading screen is long enough, Dante will actually regain control before the game starts... this might allow some new glitches to happen.

But for now, here's a simple visual oddity of Phineas doing an unnatural looking waving motion while the game is reloading.

II: glitching the stone breaking cutscene. First, dying as it starts. Dante will respawn underground, falling down and dying repeatedly as the cutscene goes on.

III: another way to glitch the cutscene is to reload right before it starts. Now the cutscene starts after retry (which doesn't make sense). Everything seems to otherwise work out just normally, but if you now reload again, you'll find that the new checkpoint became glitched. After retry the stone breaking cutscene starts without cutscene camera, allowing Dante to view things from a new angle (and see some pretty cheap visual effects the devs didn't want you to see).

IV: dying as the Assiel speaking-cutscene starts. Cutscene camera is disabled. Dante fidgets nervously at the sight of the supernatural phenomena, and the characters share an awkward silent moment.

V: the Witch fight on the wing starts with another of those cutscenes that doesn't re-position or alter Dante in any way. If Dante should be in an infinite animation (like glitched Glide), he continues the Glide during the cutscene. Doing this causes the shot becomes ruined because the Witch forgets to face the camera during her key moment. Probably prompting angry shouts from the director and a re-take.

(Not on the vid: if you die during the Witch fight cutscene, nothing special seems to happen. Wonder how this cutscene is resistant to it?)

VI: on HoH, if you finish the last fight of the level and then activate the Witch fight scene, the Witch dies instantly as she spawns. Sudden decompression? Dante also regains control during the Assiel speaking-scene if you do this.

VII: I tried to die at the same time as the 2nd cutscene of the level starts, but the game apparently prevents you from falling into a chasm in this instance.

(I wonder if you could sabotage the cutscene by taking enemies there, though... hmm, could test that later.)

VIII: a general glitch: if you go too far from Dante's spawning point and fall into a chasm, upon respawning you may fall through floor because the game loads the environment back too slowly.
