** And again in the ''Wolverine'' movie, with Wade Wilson dodging and slicing bullets to take out foes on either side of him with their own bullets.
* In ''[[Kung Fu Hustle]]'', the Landlord defeats the pair of kung fu villains who double as [[Musical Assassin|Musical Assassins]] by throwing his arms over their necks in the way friends often do. Then he moves his hips, causing their punches to strike the other one.
* Pulled off in the movie adaptation of ''[[The Hunt for Red October]]''. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|By a]] ''[[Hot Sub -On -Sub Action|submarine]]''.
* River Tam from ''[[Serenity (Film)|Serenity]]'', in both the Maidenhead fight and Mr. Universe's complex, uses this, although she isn't above shoving people ''into'' the way as well.
* [[Willow]], beginning of the escape from the inn. "Gentlemen? Meet Llug."
Line 115:
{{quote| ...when six are against one in a melee in the shadows, and especially if those six aren't used to a target that is harder to hit than a wasp, and even more so if they got all their ideas of knife fighting from other amateurs, then there's six chances in seven that they'll stab a crony and about one chance in twelve that they'll knick their own earlobe.}}
* In the first ''[[Kingdom Keepers]]'' book, Finn managed to defeat a [[Dem Bones|skeletal T-Rex]] by making it hit the tracks of ''[[Disney Theme Parks|Big Thunder Mountain Railroad]]'' which causes the weak frame to splinter apart.
* In the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' [[Past Doctor Adventures]] novel ''The Eleventh Tiger'', the Doctor does this to the Gung Fu School bully who challenges him to a duel. The Doctor first flips him onto his back using his attack as a lever, then when the bully decides to kick at the Doctor's head (a kick that he boasts shatters jars, and jars are stronger then heads) the Doctor momentarily blinds him with a reflection of light and then moves his head an inch to the left, allowing the bully's foot to crack into the wooden pole behind the Doctor's head, splintering the pole and his foot. The Doctor then tells the other students to tend to the bully's wounds. Topping this off is the fact this is the first Doctor, who looks like he's 60 if he's a day.
* In [[Percy Jackson and The Olympians|The Titan's Curse]], Percy takes the sky from Artemis, and Artemis pushed Atlas into Percy, who moved, and allowed the sky to fall on Atlas.
* [[Ciaphas Cain]] uses this in ''Cain's Last Stand'' when fighting three combat servitors. The one hit by the other's plasma bolt isn't taken down by it, but misidentfies its fellow as another attacker as a result of the hit.
Line 125:
** In the episode ''Homecoming'', Buffy maneuvers the two German assassins into shooting each other.
* In ''[[Smallville]]'', this is how young Clark frequently winds up accidentally disposing of villains, allowing the writers to have the threat dealt with without Clark ever breaking [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]. Take him on, and you ''will'' find yourself stuck like a cocktail weenie on a pointy object that [[Made of Plasticine|should rightfully only bruise you.]]
* In the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode "The Age of Steel", Mickey also defeats a Cyberman by getting it to punch an electrical generator.
* In the second season ''[[The Man From UNCLE]]'' episode "The Virtue Affair", Napoleon Solo escapes from a holding cell and is running through the corridors of the [[Big Bad]]'s lair. Confronted by two [[Mooks]] approaching from opposite sides of the corridor, Solo dodges just in time for the mooks to gun each other down.
** Played with in the third season episode "The Five Daughters Affair, Part II". Solo and Kuryakin, creeping down a corridor of a THRUSH complex, are menaced by one THRUSH mook ahead of them and two behind them. The mook in front of them sprints towards them, then leaps at Solo as if to tackle him. Solo quickly hits the floor, and the leaping mook takes out the two mooks following the heroes.
