* In ''[[The Net]]'', Sandra Bullock's character is to meet a male friend at the airport; he is flying a small plane by himself, coming to discuss a secret file in person, when his navigational equipment is tampered with, and he crashes into a factory smokestack. This, as stated above, would have let loose far too much information, for the scriptwriters liking.
* For some reason, the Devil lets the priest warn Robert Thorn in ''[[The Omen]]'' about his Antichrist son before killing him, even though the entire setup to that point is textbook Doomed Appointment.
* In the second ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' movie, Governer Swann tries to meet with a friend of his who is a captain. Just as he arrives, his friend is killed by the villain's right hand man.
* In another [[Johnny Depp]] movie, ''[[Blow]]'', the "protagonist" (for lack of a better word) wants to pull [[One Last Job]] before running away with his daughter. He is betrayed by former colleagues, who are working for law enforcement, and is unable to meet his daughter at the appointed time. The film attempts to make the audience sympathetic to the main character, who is one of the top cocaine smugglers, potentially responsible for many deaths and destroyed lives.
