* In ''[[
* ''[[There Will Be Blood]]''. Daniel Plainview wakes up the man who claims to be his brother, and forces him at gunpoint to say who he really is. During the mans confession, Daniel puts away the gun. When the man is done explaining himself, however, Daniel unexpectedly draws the gun again and kills him.
* ''[[Terminator]] 2'': the T-1000, disguised as John's foster mother, is talking to him on the phone, when the foster father interrupts her about their [[Evil-Detecting Dog|madly barking dog]] in the backyard. It promptly skewers him through the mouth with its [[Partial Transformation|morphing swordlike arm]].
* Francis Walsingham in ''[[Elizabeth (film)|Elizabeth]]'' pulls a reversal of this on a young man guarding him after a few philosophical words on [[Crapsack World|the ugliness of the world]].

* This happens in the end of ''[[Of Mice and Men]]''. George is calmly talking to Lenny about the farm they've always dreamed of; he asks Lenny to close his eyes while talking, and George pulls out a gun and shoots him in the head. A non-villainous version, as George is doing this so that Lenny will die calm and happy.
