Line 49:
* ''[[Tango and Cash]]'': Done twice in one scene where Cash is investigating Requin's house. Requin gets the drop on Cash, but immediately after Requin utters a one-liner, Tango gets the drop on him.
* Done quite well in the movie ''[[The Matrix]]'' by Trinity. ("[[Verb This|Dodge this]].")
* Used twice in one scene in in ''[[GoldeneyeGoldenEye (film)|GoldenEye]]'', when [[James Bond]] goes to meet Valentin to negotiate a meeting with Janus. Bond introduces himself by approaching Valentin from behind and cocking a gun to his head with an audible click (doubles as [[Casual Danger Dialogue]], all things considered):
{{quote|'''Valentin:''' ''(recognizing the cocking noise)'' Walther PPK. 7.65mm. Only three men I know of use that gun; I believe I've killed two of them.
'''James Bond:''' Lucky me.
Line 105:
** Another, "The Hot Line", in which the Chief goes undercover as a singing waiter, has a series of Click Hello reversals while the Chief is ''onstage'', resulting in an impromptu choral number of seven people in a Click Hello Chain. While remaining on-key, on-tempo, and smiling. We just don't get that kind of professionalism and showmanship in our secret agents anymore...
* Done at its most [[Badass]] in ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]''. Thompson gets the drop on Matt Parkman this way and taunt his [[Psychic Powers|telepathy]] by saying, "What am I thinking, Parkman?". Then [[Badass Normal|Mr. Bennet]] gets the drop on ''Thompson'' by doing this and answers for Matt by saying "Your last thought." And shoots him.
* The original ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek the Original Series]]'' episode "A Piece of the Action" as Mob Boss Krako recaptures Kirk and Spock.
* Another use of this trope comes courtesy in the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' episode "The Chase", where Cardassians are ambushed by Humans and Klingons, and all three are ambushed by Romulans a moment later. This is subverted when the humans decide to just take the scans they came for in the first place while everyone else is making epic speeches with their guns pointed at each other.
** ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' pulled the ultimate De-Cloak Hello in the episode "The Defector". The Romulans have the ''Enterprise'' surrounded and outnumbered when their leader gives Picard 30 seconds to surrender. After Picard tells him to go screw himself he says that he expected better than empty threats, at which point Picard orders [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|his Klingon allies to decloak as their battlecruisers appear out of nowhere]], weapons ready to kick ass. Picard finishes off with "Well, then, Tomalak... shall we die together?" For many people, that was the moment Picard became as equally cool as Kirk.
* ''[[Deep Space Nine]]'' has a pretty good Decloak-Hello with Worf's appearance with the cavalry at the First Battle of Deep Space 9.
* More like a Bzzzt Hello: In a fifth-season episode of ''[[Babylon 5]]'', Lyta has mind-controlled a roomful of people:
Line 144:
== Web Original ==
* In the machinima ''[[Leet World]]'', during the first challenge one of these occurs. Leeroy (Team A) gets snuck up on by Cortez (Team B), who is snuck up upon by Westheimer (Team A), who is in range of Ellis (Team B). Note that in this case it is literally completely pointless as there are in a competition where people can be revived, you get points for killing people and they have no reason to talk.
* Tex introduces herself to Agent Wyoming in this way in Episode 42 of ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' and asks where his employer, [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot|O'Malley]] is. Said employer then shows up and introduces himself in the same fashion.
