Line 25:
* ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'': Yes, the entire Rebel base on Hoth is destroyed, but two of the five AT-ATs are taken down in the process, and most if not all of the transports escape the Imperial fleet.
* ''[[Mission: Impossible (film)|Mission: Impossible]]: Fallout'': Hunley doesn't do any lasting damage to {{spoiler| Lark}}, but he ties the villain up longer than anyone can reasonably expect an aging bureaucrat against an elite assassin to last. The villain ends up {{spoiler| pulling a knife to stab him}} rather than waste any more time in hand-to-hand.
* ''[[Ip Man]]'':
** Most of Ip's foes don't pose any real threat to him, but General Miura nearly manages to get him with a [[Ring Out]].
** In the fourth film, Geddes knocks Master Wan out, but not before getting thrown a few times. This contrasts with the Marine's earlier easy annihilation of a roomful of admittedly already injured and tired lesser masters.
