Line 39:
* ''Goal 2'' both subverts this trope and plays it straight. In the first minute of the Champions League Final, a (fictional) Arsenal player dives to win a penalty, the subversion being that he scores the one he dived to win, but then, with his team 2 goals ahead with less than five minutes left, his team mate wins a penalty fairly and he misses. Cue [[Miracle Rally]] from Real Madrid.
* Spelled out word-for-word in the final shot of the [[So Cool Its Awesome]] ''[[Speed Racer (film)|Speed Racer]]''.
* Enforced in ''[[Jumanji]]'', where the eponymous game is an [[Artifact of Doom]] that does ''not'' tolerate cheating. When Peter tires to cheat by dropping the dice on the number needs, rather than rolling it, the game not only voids the role but places a curse that turns Peter into a monkey-boy for the remainder of the game. Ironically, Peter had good intentions here, realizing that the dangerous game wouldn't end until a winner was determined, and was trying to end it faster.
