* The Ball is carefully minded throughout ''[[A KnightsKnight's Tale]]''. At the beginning, William and Adhemar are evenly matched, and the latter wins by his greater experience. In the final, decisive joust, Adhemar holds the Ball at first due both to the efforts of his herald and copious amounts of cheating, but after [[Geoffrey Chaucer (Creator)|Geoffrey Chaucer]] gives an impassioned speech, the audience changes sides and William wins ''without even his armour''.
* This is well demonstrated by the [[Flynning]] in ''[[The Princess Bride]]'', where the advantage is determined solely by who [[I Am Not Left -Handed|most recently switched hands]].
* The film of ''[[The Lord of the Rings (Film)|The Lord of the Rings]]''. In addition to [[Hollywood Tactics|many other lapses in tactical realism]], advantage in battle seems to be principally a matter of who makes the most [[Big Entrance|badass entrance]], regardless of such matters as numbers and equipment.
* Throughout ''[[The Matrix]]'', agents are pretty much unstoppable, due both to their superior programming and the [[The Dreaded|terror the other side has for them]]. But after Neo's awakening as The One, he can dispatch them with ease (and his team can at least hold their ground). An entirely justified in-universe example.
