* Parodied in ''[[MacGruber]]'', where the main character insists that "he don't roll that way" without giving a good reason why he refuses guns in favor of pitifully [[MacGyver]]ing up gadgets. When he's actually handed a gun, he learns that firing a gun is awesome but is [[A-Team Firing|terrible with it]]. |

* Jason Bourne, after the first film. Having declared his intention to give up killing people, he spends the next two films beating the living hell out of every enemy to cross his path but, despite killing three of them, never once fires a gun. He's even seen taking guns off opponents and then throwing them away a couple of times. |

** In the most recent film (the titular ''Jason Bourne'') Jason uses a gun, but that was because the target was well out of arms' reach and it was immediately necessary to stop him from firing a sniper rifle at someone else. While the sniper isn't hit and Jason has to beat him to death with his bare hands later, the context of the scene appeared to be less 'was just using suppressive fire' and more 'even Jason Bourne finds it a little difficult to hit a guy with a pistol from over 50 yards away through an air vent'. |

* Blue Jones of ''[[Sucker Punch]]'' admits that he hates guns, and holds one by his fingers in disgust as he passes it to the [[Mooks|Mook]] behind him. {{spoiler|This is after he has murdered Blondie and Amber. He shot Blondie to death.}} |

* Averted in ''[[Kick-Ass (film)|Kick-Ass]]'' where Big Daddy and Hit-Girl have no problems shooting people. Made extra delicious by the fact that Big Daddy looks a lot like [[Batman|another black-costumed superhero]] who is famous for hating guns. |

* Captain Nemo in the film version of [[League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]], when told to draw his gun, proudly states "I walk a different path" and proceeds to kick ass with indian martial arts. He does use a pistol in the ending scenes of the film, but only because the enemies he's engaging are above him and out of melee range. |
