* ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: Dead Man's Chest'' had it with the pirates pausing battle to watch the mill wheel go by with Jack chasing after it.
* ''[[Undercover Brother]]''. While the title character is fighting a couple of [[Mook|mooksmook]]s, Sista Girl and White She Devil start ripping each others' clothes off and end up showering together. UB and the mooks stop fighting, sit down together and enjoy the show.
* In the [[Justified Extra Lives|first]] climax of ''[[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World]]'', Knives dives into the scene to {{spoiler|attack not Gideon, but ''Ramona'', for breaking Scott's heart}}. Scott and {{spoiler|Gideon}} just stop to watch them fight for a few moments before resuming their own fight.
* In the film adaptation of ''[[Indian in The Cupboard]]'', Patrick uses the cupboard to animate several iconic pop-culture plastic figures, including a ''[[Jurassic Park]]'' T-rex and [[Star Wars|Darth Vader]], before Omri can stop him. When the cupboard is opened, we see the characters engaged in combat... until they notice the comparatively giant-sized boys standing there, stop fighting, and stare. Omri quickly changes them back before anything happens.

== Television ==
* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story ''Battlefield'', the [[King Arthur]] one, there's a moment in Mordred and Ancelyn's final duel where they break apart for a moment -- andmoment—and the Doctor walks right between them, casually tipping his hat as he passes, on his way to his own final confrontation with Morgaine. Mordred and Ancelyn stare after him for a moment before remembering that they were in the middle of fighting to the death.
* In the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode "Anne", Buffy's fight with the demons is interrupted by the head demon holding a knife to Lilly. He announces that their fight is lost and he'll kill Lilly to make an example. Lilly kills him instead. A beat later, the main fight resumes.
* In ''[[Band of Brothers (TV series)|Band of Brothers]]'', when Spiers makes a suicidal run through Foy to make contact with I Company, both sides stop firing for a brief moment simply because [[Refuge in Audacity|they couldn't believe what they were seeing.]]
