Stock scene for the [[Adventurer Archaeologist]] and [[Mister Danger]] types, the not-so-[[Noble Savage|Noble Savages]]s are angry at his stealing [[Plot Coupon|their]] [[MacGuffin|sacred]] [[Artifact of Death|idol]] and/or [[Cannibal Tribe|refusing to be their dinner.]] Expect there to be [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy|hilariously ineffectual thrown spears]], hooting and jumping as he makes a clean getaway via plane, boat, car, or train.
 
Of course, this amounts to nothing so much as [[Mighty Whitey]] <s>stealing</s> "preserving for posterity" the ancient sacred objects of a lesser culture to a place they'll be truly appreciated: [[It Belongs in a Museum|a public museum]].
Line 31:
* ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]''.
** And ''[[Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull]]''. Heck, since Indiana Jones is a franchise based on the movie serials of the 30s-50s it's not a surprise that this trope also arises once in the TV series and quite a few more in the comics.
* ''[[Doomsday]],'' where the "natives" are [[Violent Glaswegian|Violent Glaswegians]]s after a viral epidemic turns them into post apocalyptic survivors.
* Happens to Jack Sparrow in the second ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' movie. In fact, the image of him running away from them was one of the first things released about the movie, prompting many fans to wonder just what he's done ''this'' time. {{spoiler|It was the refusing-to-be-dinner scenario, but with a twist: the natives believed Jack was a [[God in Human Form|flesh-imprisoned god yearning to be set free.]]}}
* The beginning of [[Peter Jackson|Peter Jackson's]] ''[[Braindead]]'' (known to American audiences as ''Dead Alive''), in which angry natives from Skull Island ([[King Kong|yes, that one]]) pursue a New Zealand zoo official as he makes off with the indigenous rat monkey. This is at least one case where it probably would have been for the best if the natives ''did'' catch their target.
