Line 63:
* The ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros]]'' movie. After the titular heroes hit Koopa with a [[Evolutionary Levels|de-evolution ray]], he transforms into a Tyrannosaurus. They then shoot him again, turning him into primordial ooze.
* In the rather stupid Sci-Fi movie ''The Hive'', the titular army ants are able to form into all kinds of bizarre formations, such as mile-high tentacles. When denied humanity's technology (and one of the exterminators tries to frag the hive), they flip out and form into...a giant ant. All it does is badly injure the guy who tried to kill them, who proceeds to blow them up.
* In [[The Movie]] version of ''[[My Favorite Martian (film)|My Favorite Martian]]'', the [[Big Bad]], Elliot Coleye (the head of SETI), tastes some [[Applied Phlebotinum|nerplex]] and undergoes a typical [[One-Winged Angel]] transformation sequence, complete with monologue, [[Evil Laugh]], and [[Skyward Scream|spinning downwards camera]]. Not only does the end result look pretty goofy, but he gets [[Hoist by His Own Petard]] as SETI officials suddenly appear and mistake him for a genuine martian.
* The Shredder in the second ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (film)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' movie drinks the mutagen and grows into a gigantic mutant form...only to just as quickly bring down the dock above them. The Turtles emerge from the wreckage dusty but unharmed, and see Shredder's twitching hand rise from the rubble. Raph exclaims "[[No One Could Survive That]]!" and Shredder promptly dies.
* Oddly enough, ''[[The Thing (film)|The Thing]]''. What with all the [[Kill It with Fire|flamethrowers]] in the Antarctic base, any piece of the Thing which takes an easily recognizable form on-screen is immolated relatively quickly. The ''real'' problem is [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|in finding who it is in the first place.]]
