See You in Hell



A common dialog just before dying, or more commonly, just before attempting to kill someone (or, in a combination of the two, in a situation where you expect to die and just want them to die too). Usually provokes a creative response, such as: "No thanks, already been there" (sometimes really), or "It wouldn't be Hell without you."

Basically a We Will Meet Again that extends beyond the grave.

Can be played for Tragedy seeing how all the speakers of this line apparently fully expect to end up in a place of eternal torment when they die.

A subtrope of the Pre-Mortem One-Liner. Compare Give My Regards in The Next World.

Anime and Manga
"Jubei:If you so want the company of devils, you'd better hurry back to hell, Gemma.
 * The Captain Harlock movie Arcadia of My Youth. After losing a starship duel with the Arcadia, Harlock's Worthy Opponent suggests that when they meet again in Hell, they should go for a drink together.
 * Seen in the Fullmetal Alchemist manga with Greed's death.
 * Ricardo, the Badass Normal from El Cazador De La Bruja, sports an extended version: "Let's have a drink in hell, amigo!"
 * The Death Note episode "Execution" uses the phrase, at least in the English dub: "Light...from one murderer to another...I'll see you in Hell."
 * In the English translation of the manga by Viz, he says, "Light, we're both murderers. We'll see each other again in hell."
 * Unutterably Badass Heroic Sacrifice variant from Code Geass: "Now, let us suffer together...repenting together for all eternity!'"
 * Also a variation occurs earlier in the series- C.C. to Mao before putting a gun to his jugular and pulling the trigger: "I did love you, Mao. I want you to go and wait for me...in C's World."
 * A definite inversion, however, in that it counts as an Aw Look She Really Does Love Him, Let Them Die Happy, Love Confession, Mercy Kill and promised Together in Death all at the same time.
 * Vegeta, in the uncut redub of Dragonball Z, says this on a few occasions. Usually when he's about to (Or seems to) kill an enemy. "See you in hell, Kui." and "I'll see you in hell, Recoome!!" are a few examples.
 * Subverted since dying in Dragonball Z is pretty much meaningless and hell isn't inescapable.
 * The final words of in Black Lagoon: "Please tell Balalaika that I will be expecting her where she will no doubt follow me."
 * Balalaika herself says this to a Yakuza boss shortly before killing him.
 * In Naruto, when Zabuza is killing Gato, Gato suggests that he should go join Haku by himself, Zabuza says he is going to hell with Gato, and will show that he will become "a real demon" in hell. Despite this, after the battle, with his dying breaths, he hopes to go to the same place as Haku in the afterlife. In a filler episode, Hinata, planning to push her opponent over a cliff and force him to bury himself alive in iron sand with his magnetic ability, says "The only ones going to hell are you and me!" in response to him telling her that she would join Naruto in hell. The dub has her saying that they will go to the "Spirit World" (similar to Yu Yu Hakusho?). Kiba says something on the same lines during his battle with Ukon/Sakon.
 * In Get Backers, Emishi says this to Shido immediately before unleashing a firestorm attack intended to kill them both.
 * Hellsing has an odd example: When Alexander Anderson, Alucard Some fans have interperted the line as affectionate.
 * The image above features Yotsuba from Yotsuba&!, who copied the line from a gangster movie her Dad let her watch.
 * Godchild includes a peculiar inversion, in which the phrase (or an approximation of it) is used as touching and possibly, depending upon the reader's view, romantic. Riff's promise to Cain is that he will 'accompany him to Hell', as Cain is convinced he's going there. When Riff
 * In one translation of Bleach, Yammy tells Loly "See ya in hell" before preparing to attack her.
 * Given that Hell is explicitly a real place in Bleach, and few Hollows actually go there (not to mention, it's less than clear what happens to a Hollow who's killed but not eaten by another Hollow), either that's a bad translation or (probably more likely) Yammy just Did Not Do the Research.
 * If the recent bonus chapter can be taken as canon,, so it's far from impossible.
 * In Full Metal Panic, Gauron says numerous versions of this phrase to Sousuke (especially during times when it looks like he's winning). And pretty much every single time, Sousuke beats the crap out of him and blasts him away. Undoubtedly, Gauron really does want to go to Hell and spend eternity there with Sousuke (considering how many times he says this and keeps trying to do a double-suicide with the boy)... but the way he phrases it, it certainly makes for great motivation for Sousuke to make sure it never happens.
 * In Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, Ange says this in Gratuitous English before shooting . Or something. "Have a nice dream. See you in Hell. Cool."
 * Said by Koichiro Kase in Weiss Kreuz when Ken assassinates him. Instead of being creative or snarky, Ken just answers, "This place is hell, too."
 * From one hero to another, before a suicide mission, a subversion from Plastic Little: "When we storm the gates of Hell, I'll take point."
 * Ninja Scroll: Jubei says some variation of this line to Gemma several times within the same scene:

Jubei:Gemma, where are you hiding? When I die, I'll take you to Hell with me.

Jubei:Burn in your golden HELL!"

"Tessai: Not quite the right direction. The road to Hell is... RIGHT HERE."
 * Also, Tessai delivers the following line to Jubei before punching him hard enough to break the stone pillar to his back:


 * In chapter 55 of Franken Fran,  She is saved, but still.

Comic Books
"Nightwing: Go to hell!
 * From an issue of Superman/Batman:

Lex Luthor: I've been. It's overrated."

"Hellboy: Go... to... hell...
 * A rare non-vengeful use in Arkham Asylum: Living Hell: the demon Etrigan, impressed at how cleverly the villain Great White Shark has wheeled and dealed for himself in both Arkham and his future afterlife down below, smiles and says, "Guile and style. You'll do well. Keep in touch, I'll see you in hell."
 * In Preacher (Comic Book): The Saint of Killers, to the dying Big Bad-who he literally came back out of HELL to kill. "There ain't worse than me in all of Hell. [as he shoots] Go an' look."
 * Knightfall: Right before Bane breaks him, Batman utters "...go back to hell..."
 * These are The Joker's last words in The Dark Knight Returns, right before he commits suicide in such a way that it looks like Batman murdered him.
 * Hellboy Volume 1:

Rasputin: No need, creature. Hell is coming here!!"

Fanfic
"How's Alec Baldwin's health these days?"
 * A variation appears in a Batman/The Crow/The Shadow crossover fanfic this submitter found once. The Joker shoots Eric Draven in the face, then says, "I bet he never danced with the Devil in the pale moon light." (A reference to the 1989 Batman movie.) Draven non-chalantly gets up, dusts himself off, and responds, "Actually, I have. Satan does a pretty mean two-step."

Film
"Kincaid (having just been stabbed in the gut): I'll see you in Hell.
 * Batman Forever: Robin saves a falling Two-Face, and replies, "I'd rather see you in jail."
 * The junkyard scene in A Nightmare On Elm Street 4.

Freddy Krueger: Tell 'em Freddy sent you!"

"Kirsty Cotton: Go to Hell!
 * Fits in Hellraiser:

Cenobite: We can't, not alone."

"Indy: Prepare to meet Kali... in Hell!"
 * Uttered in 300. Upon meeting an approaching army of a million, Spartan King Leonidas tells his warriors that "tonight, we dine in Hell!"
 * This is closely based on a quote which Plutarch (Morlia, circa 100 CE) attributes to Leonidas: "Breakfast well, for we may today dine among ghosts," making this Older Than Feudalism.
 * In Unforgiven, while Little Bill lies dying he gasps, "I'll see you in hell, William Munny!". Munny just mutters "yeah" and shoots him in the face. Whether this is Munny accepting that he'll probably go to hell when he dies or simply being dismissive is debatable.
 * When Munny talked to Ned about his fevered death dreams, he knows full well the kind of sins he committed. And when Munny fesses up to Little Bill's description of him - "a killer of women and children", and that he's there to kill Little Bill for what he done to Ned - he's made a willing step into Hell...
 * I'd hardly call it debatable. Don't make the mistake of conflating "protagonist" with "hero". The killing of Skinny (the saloon owner), Little Bill and the deputies was a cold, deliberate and brutal act, and Munny's most honest one. Throughout the film, he constantly reminds everyone, especially himself, that he is not the man he used to be, but that is simply not compatible with his actions on-screen, including the cold-blooded murder of a cowboy. With Little Bill's murder (and face it: for all of his own obvious sadism, Bill's death was as noble and as brave as any action movie hero's—this ambiguity is absolutely deliberate), Munny accepted that he was an evil man, and he had never truly changed—he was in love with a woman and changed his ways because that pleased her, not because he had undergone a miraculous transformation at his core. He is regretful and tormented, to be sure, but his true character—vengeful and violent—lies barely contained beneath the surface by his comforting delusions of being a changed man.
 * Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom.

"Rebel technician: Sir, your tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker.
 * Which was probably just being used as a Stock Phrase with no regard for theological accuracy.
 * Used completely out of the blue in The Empire Strikes Back, as Han is leaving Echo Base to search for Luke in a blizzard:

Han: Then I'll see you in hell!"

"Aramis: See you in Calais!
 * A variant appears in The Three Musketeers 1993 between two of the protagonists as they split up:

Athos: Or hell!"

"Billy: Go to hell!
 * Hocus Pocus, where the witches got their powers from Satan:

Winifred: Oh, I've been there, thank you! I found it quite lovely!"

"Big Bad: "Go to hell, Riggs."
 * Used to truly Narmtacular effect at the end of this clip of the obscure 1988 film Action U.S.A.
 * Implied in Lethal Weapon 3, where Riggs has just shot the Big Bad. Barely alive, the Big Bad looks at Riggs...

Riggs: "You first.""

"Felix: "SEE YOU IN HELL, SANCHEZ!!!""
 * Licence to Kill: Big Bad of the week Franz Sanchez decides to teach Bond's friend Felix Leiter a lesson. With sharks. As Leiter is lowered into the pit, guess what he says?

": "I'll see you in hell, Frank."
 * Though Sanchez, being a Magnificent Bastard, tells Leiter "Today is the first day of the rest of your life!"
 * Lord John Whorfin's uttering of that line, from The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension.
 * A rare friendly example of this is seen in Punisher: War Zone, when The Punisher finds a badly wounded . It ends up being an unusually touching scene, considering the movie.

Punisher: "If I see you anywhere near hell, I'll kick your ass out.""

"Constantine: My name's John. You are in violation of the Balance. Leave immediately, or I will deport you. All of you. [They just stare at him] Go to hell."

 * In Gettysburg, two soldiers from different sides befriend each other in the aftermath of a very costly battle (Little Round Top). As they leave, they tell each other 'See You in Hell' as a macabre term of endearment.
 * Shout At the Devil (1976). A dying Lee Marvin says this to the German Big Bad (along with a Title Drop), moments before the bomb he placed in the battleship's magazine explodes.
 * In The Running Man (starring Arnold Schwarzenegger), right in the beginning, while they're in the chopper, one of the cronies tells Richard "I'll see you in hell" before knocking him out.
 * The protagonist's boss in Spawn utters the line (together with a salute) right before he sets him on fire and leaves to die in the middle of an exploding chemical plant.
 * Justified by the fact that he was killing him as part of a deal with The Devil, making the phrase something other than a figure of speech.
 * Constantine. John gives an ultimatum to a bunch of demonic half-breeds.

""I'll see you in hell, little girl. Wear something nasty.""
 * In The Prophecy Katherine tells Gabriel "Go to hell". He corrects her, "Go to heaven".
 * Near the end of The Mummy Trilogy Returns, as Rick O'Connell is stabbing the Scorpion King he screams "Go to hell! And take your friends with you!" Somewhat of an aversion because Rick doesn't die, but he comes pretty close.
 * In the third film, he says that the Emperor "can now rule... in hell!"
 * Jay says this to Will Ferrell's wildlife marshall when the latter.
 * Friday the 13 th (2009): "Jason! Say hi to mommy... IN HELL!"

 * In the movie Halloween: Resurrection, Laurie says this to her brother Michael before falling to her death.
 * This is the last thing Shinzaemon says to Hanbei in 13 Assassins.
 * Not to mention an adaption of Shakespeare's Richard the Third set in an alternate World war Two style setting. The last worst of Richard, and of the entire film, not to mention being among the only lines that Shakespeare didn't pen: "Let's do it Pell mell! If not in heaven, then Hand in Hand to Hell!"
 * In The Warriors Way, the Big Bad is knifed to death by the girl he almost raped (which was actually because he killed her parents before that):

Literature

 * At the end of the Alistair MacLean novel “Fear is the Key” the protagonist mentions how the Career Killer he’d helped convict spent the entire trial just staring at him as if to say, “Eternity is a long time, but I’ll be waiting.”
 * Pretty much the last thing that Jimmy the Hand says to his brother-in-law William in the Serpentwar Saga is "See you in Darkmoor or see you in Hell". Neither makes it out of Krondor alive. Oddly, the religion of that universe states that most people don't go to Heaven or Hell, they just reincarnate.
 * In The Apocalypse Troll this is Captain Onslow's last words, shouted over a static-filled transmission to Ludmilla as his ship rams the enemy dreadnaught.
 * In one of the Savannah Reid mysteries, one character says to another: "We're both dead. But you're goin' to get to hell first, buddy... just a few seconds before me."
 * Played for laughs in Damned by Chuck Palahniuk. Teenagers who've gone to hell (it's not as bad as it sounds) get to return to Earth for a few hours on Hallowe'en to go trick-or-treating. When they split up to go their separate rounds, they casually go "OK. See you in hell!"
 * In Star Trek Vanguard, Klingon Captain Brakk says the equivalent to a rival Captain, Kutal. Specifically, Brakk is in the process of trying to kill Kutal, and says that since the latter's death will hardly be an honourable one, they will no doubt meet up again - in the Klingon underworld of Gre'thor.

Live Action TV
"Angelus: You're going to Hell.
 * When his servant Sam blackmails him in The French Lieutenant's Woman, Charles Smithson yells at him, "Go to the devil!" Sam calmly replies, "No sir. I wouldn't want to go nowhere that I might meet a friend of yours."
 * Charmed: Cole, in response to a cowboy using the trope, says "Been there, done that."
 * Also in Charmed, the similar exchange of Prue crying "Go to hell!", with a warlock responding, "I'd love to, dear. Miss it terribly."
 * Something like that seems to be the default warlock/demon response whenever anyone tells them to go to hell. You'd think sooner or later the witches would learn to stop doing it.
 * Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in "Once More With Feeling", the demon Sweet promises to "see you all in Hell" through song as he returns to the underworld.
 * Variation in "Becoming":

Buffy: Save me a seat."

"Buffy: (to the Master) You're that amped about Hell? Go there."
 * And in "Prophecy Girl":

"Spike: Good-bye, Dru - see you in Hell..."
 * Unusually, Spike addresses someone absent when he tries to throw himself on a stake:

"Kate: Well, I'll tell you what. I can go wherever I want, and you can go to Hell.
 * Also on Angel

Angel: Been there. Done that."

"Inquisitor:"This is hell, captain. And you are the chief damned soul.""
 * Faith is challenging Angel to a battle to the death. "Let's take that last hell-ride together."
 * Spoofed in a Saturday Night Live skit where Jim Carrey's character tells this to everyone, for any reason. The skit ends with them all, indeed, in Hell.
 * Following logically from the belief that mechanoids who obey their programming go to "Silicon Heaven", a rogue mechanoid in Red Dwarf snarls "See you in Silicon Hell!"
 * By all appearances, this is the favorite phrase of Babylon 5's Captain Sheridan.
 * Aptly retorted once by the Vorlonian Inquisitor:

"Landry: Well, if we're going to hell, we're taking you with us."
 * More broadly, by the reckoning of the human characters every threat either "came straight from hell" or was about to be sent back there.
 * A variant from Stargate SG-1: The Ark of Truth occurs when General Landry replies to a Prior who's just given him a fire and brimstone speech.

"Col. Sumner: Go to Hell.
 * Also done in the Pilot of Stargate Atlantis with Col. Sumner and the Wraith Keeper.

Wraith Keeper: Earth First."

"Samantha: Oh, yeah. (holds up a grenade) I also wish to blow us all to hell."
 * A variant in SG-1, Sam (well, Samantha) Carter, uses this in an alternate universe in the episode There But for the Grace of God. Shortly after surrendering:

""When we are both in the Great Hereafter, I will hunt you down, Bentface! And put you through my agonies a thousand times!""
 * Parodied in "Cheating Death", the health segment of The Colbert Report. Each one ends with the phrase "This is Stephen Colbert, and I'll see you in health!" Too bad the Closed Captioning usually gets it wrong...
 * Also to his brother: "COL-bert or Col-BARE?" "COL-bert." "I'll see you in hell."
 * Not quite Hell, but Doctor Who: Leela's response to an imminent agonizing death at the hands of Magnus Greel's cannibalization machine in The Talons of Weng-Chiang.

"Sam: Go to Hell.
 * Jack Harkness says it too, but that's to his companions. I think it's his surrogate for "good luck."
 * The line in full, by Rose, to the Devil, before throwing him into a black hole.
 * Oh, you never want to see a spring again, eh? Coily the Spring Sprite will make sure you get that wish... in HELL!
 * In Scrubs, Dr. Kelso is telling Jordan why he thinks it's a bad idea to have Dr. Cox as Chief of Residents, to which Jordan pretends to yawn over. After this doesn't seem to have any effect and he keeps talking, Jordan pointedly says "Yawn. You see, I say yawn, because when I actually yawn, you don't get it." Dr. Kelso, grimacing after her; "See you in hell."
 * In the Supernatural season four episode "Death Takes a Holiday," between Sam and Alastair:

Alastair: Oh, if only I could. But they just keep sending me up to this Arctic craphole."

" (to ): "You can go back to hell, YOU UGLY BITCH!!!""
 * And in the Season 5 episode "Abandon All Hope," when die :

"Dean: I'll see you in Hell."
 * And again in Season 3's "Time Is On My Side", when :

"Kirk: Go to the devil.
 * Unlike the other examples, Dean means this one literally.
 * From Star Trek the Original Series episode "The Day of the Dove":

Kang: We Klingons have no devil, Kirk. But we understand the habits of yours."

"Sophie: Go to Hell.
 * Star Trek the Next Generation reveals that Klingon religion does in fact include equivalents to Hell and the devil, making Kang's reaction somewhat odd.
 * On ''Star Trek Deep Space Nine" Worf explains that ancient warriors killed all the Klingon gods, which may explain why the Klingons have no devil.
 * Slightly subverted on Robin of Sherwood, when Little John tells a devil worshipper to go to hell. Her minion patiently corrects him: "She expects to."
 * Carnivale:

Brother Justin: Go. Why? I plan on bringing it here!"

"Rincon: Go to Hell.
 * Burn Notice:

Michael Westen: Come with me!"

""Don't think this is it! Your fates are already set...by that woman named Shroud. I will be waiting for you in Hell!""

 * Inverted in one Far Side comic. A salesman comes to the front desk of Hell, and the secretary phones Satan:

Tabletop RPG

 * The fan-made Dungeons and Dragons class 'Wandering Swordsman', has one of the best named skills ever in his setup: "I'll Meet You At The Gates Of Hell". It basically allows him to direct a sword-strike (with some nice bonuses added) at whoever brings him below 0 HP (Keeping in mind that D&D character don't 'die' 'till they hit -10 HP, and that the Wandering Swordsman also has a feat that allows him to keep fighting after hitting 0 HP, causing him to simply collapse when the battle is over.)
 * Provide links! My Google-Fu is bogged down by Japanese novels!
 * Wish I could, but I can't find it anymore either... Did he leave already?
 * In the game Last Night on Earth, this is an actual card you can play. If your character is in a building overrun with zombies and has the means to cause an explosion, they can make a Heroic Sacrifice and take every zombie in a certain radius with you.

Video Games
"Caleb: When you get to Hell, tell them I sent you; you'll get a group discount."
 * Duke Nukem is quite fond of saying this. And, it seems, it will only be when you get (to?/through?) hell that you get a copy of Duke Nukem Forever. Of course, by then, Hell will be on Macs, and it only comes out on Windows.
 * Though after Gearbox got involved, it seems hell will finally be available in most computers.
 * Blood II: The Chosen has a particularly bad-ass treatment:

"Solid Snake: Why do you keep calling me brother?! Who are you!?
 * Nice variant from Metal Gear Solid:

Liquid Snake: Ask the father that you killed! I'll send you to hell to meet him!"

"Solid Snake: See you in Hell, Liquid."
 * Played straight a little bit later, after

"Solidus Snake : If you have a death wish, I'll be happy to accommodate you. See you in Hell!"
 * Played straight in Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty:

"Covenant: Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instruments.
 * Allen from Metal Slug, who, by tradition, appears in every installment and, by tradition, always yells this when you kill him.
 * Inverted in an early Halo trailer (How early? It hadn't even been announced as an X-Box exclusive, and in fact I don't think the X-Box was even out yet), where a Private Mendez is about to be killed by one of the Covenant.

Mendez: Go to hell..."

"Cagnazzo The Drowned King, Cagnazzo, deposed! But the wicked are not wont to fall alone. In life, I was terrible... in death, steeped in terror greater still. Drink long and deep of it ere you die! I'll save a briny pit for you in hell! Muahahahaha!! (The walls of the room the party is in start to close in on them)"
 * An interesting take is made in Reach, when Sgt. Buck, after you safely see his Falcon across the city, tells you "Thanks for the assist, Spartan. I'll see you in Hell." This is said with a friendly intonation, as if akin to "I'll see you back at your place."
 * This isn't too surprising since Sgt.Buck is part of the ODST unit, also known as the 'Helljumpers' in canon, with a motto to match ('Feet First Into Hell').
 * Plus there's this saying: "Spartans don't die. They just go to Hell and regroup."
 * The description for the Silver visor armor piece reads, "Jumping feet first into hell isn't your job. Making sure it's crowded when you get there is."
 * Raven's Victory Quote in Tekken.
 * Mitsurugi's winning catchphrases include "You'll be in hell...before me!"
 * Even Final Fantasy gets one of these in the DS Remake of Final Fantasy IV.

"Demoman: "Ooh, they're goin' to have to glue you back together... IN HELL!""
 * Gets a variation in the sequel from Golbez to Cagnazzo, odder still it's intended to be comforting. "Sleep in peace... for I, too, may join you in your hell someday."
 * If your party leader is Lightning during the final battle with in Final Fantasy XIII, she will blatantly tell him to "find your own road to hell" at the start of the battle.
 * Lampshaded in Stuntman: Ignition. In one of the "trailers", one of the Mooks says "See you in hell!", with the lead replying with the best line ever. "Send me a postcard."
 * The Team Fortress 2 video Meet the Demoman has a slightly modified version, after the eponymous explosives expert blows several enemies to bloody chunks:

"Spy: "I'll see you in Hell... You handsome rogue!"
 * It also appears in several domination lines. Among others:

Spy: "Go to Hell and take your cheap suit with you!"

Demoman: "Go to Hell, and tell the Devil I'm coming for him next!""

"Feel the pain -- of those inferior beings -- as you burn in hell!"
 * This is Curtis' final line in Killer 7, though in his case, it is apparently meant literally.
 * A variation occurs in Tales of Symphonia, when Kratos delivers a final blow to an enemy in a very memorable scene, and delivers this line:

"Reinhardt: Back to your dark realm! Soon I'll send Dracula to join you!
 * In Sam and Max Freelance Police: What's New, Beelzebub?, if you try to shoot someone in Hell, Sam will say "Nah, there's no point if I can't say 'see you in Hell' first."
 * In the previous episode, as Sam and Max are escaping the exploding spaceship through the portal, Max says that "If this doesn't work, I'll see you in Hell!" The story is continued with the portal dropping them on the banks of the river Styx.
 * In Do Don Pachi, if you fulfill the conditions to reach the second loop, bids you farewell with this line after revealing that your mission was part of his nihilistic Evil Plan.
 * Castlevania 64 has one of these in Reinhardt's story after you defeat Death.

Death: Urggggh! Cocksure youth! I'll wait for you in Hell! Be sure I will keep a warm place for you!"

"Uther Lightbringer: "I dearly hope that there's a special place in Hell waiting for you, Arthas."
 * Used entirely straight - and in a perfectly even tone - at the end of Cyberia, as you blast a stream of plasma fire into your Bad Boss's space-station office. It's the last thing he says as the inferno engulfs him... and he nearly gets his wish, as the resulting chain-reaction blows up the entire station, sending you back to Earth at an entirely unhealthy velocity...
 * A variation in War Craft III:

Arthas Menethil: "We may never know, Uther. I intend to live forever.""

"Richard: Take a bite from its super energy wave phaser! It'll get you high enough to reach heaven!"
 * The trailer for the aborted Warcraft Adventures ended with Thrall saying : "Blackmoore! Tonight you sleep in Hell." By the way, 300 wasn't out yet.
 * Played with in Unreal II the Awakening. There's a bit where you talk to Ne'Ban, who is the pilot of your ship and doesn't speak English very well. He tells you he is on a course for Hell, because your mission officer told him to go there. Then you go and talk to the mission officer, who casually tells you that your next mission is on a moon called "Hell."
 * Tales of Vesperia uses this phrase a couple times.
 * In Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, Onikage says this after you beat him the third and final time in the game.

 * Metal Wolf Chaos has an odd variation on this, with Richard talking about how he's going to send Michael to Heaven.

"Insane Cultist: "You strange, unmasked fellow. Don't go to heaven!""
 * In Psychonauts, when the player psi-blasts a harmless bird, Raz delivers a random line. One of them is 'See you in hell!' delivered in an almost disturbingly cheerful voice.
 * Amusingly subverted in Earthbound by way of minor Bowdlerisation, where the Department Store Spook starts to say this trope, then admits that the heroes will probably go to Heaven after he kills them.
 * Earlier, in Happy Happy Village :

"Space Pirate: See you in HELLLLLLLLLLL-(Static)"
