Line 118:
* For ''[[Ip Man]]'', everyone watching it already knows that he would survive the Japanese invasion of China and become Bruce Lee's martial arts master.
* ''[[D.O.A.|DOA]]'': "I want to report a murder -- mine!"
* The film ''[[Barry Lyndon]]'' makes excessive use of this trope. Everything that is going to happen is stated outright by the title cards and the narrator well in advance of the outcome. [https://web.archive.org/web/20091007014155/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=
* You might notice this trope at play in [[John Carpenter]]'s ''[[Ghosts of Mars]]'' as soon as we find out how the alien spirits operate. There is NO discernable way to kill them, and they will just continue [[Body Surf|jumping from body to body]] if their current host is killed. This means that in order to even temporarily defeat them, our heroes would have to kill every human being on the entire planet of Mars, ''including themselves''. Guess which side wins?
* In ''[[Seven Pounds]]'' the movie starts with {{spoiler|the main character calling in his own suicide to 911.}}
