* ''[[Alien vs. Ninja]]'': Mika had a message for the defeated alien.
* During the chase in ''[[6 Underground]]'', Six, who was driving, almost collides with a group of nuns during a car chase. Six hopes they would forgive him for doing that. One of the nuns had this as a response.
* ''[[Deadpool (film)|Deadpool]]'', the titular character cuts off his own wrist in order to escape from Colossus's manacle. Since he has the ability to simply regrow a hand, DeedpoolDeadpool likely didn't mind doing this. Bonus, his severed hand leaves this for Colossus.
