* [[Akira Kurosawa]]'s ''[[Sanjuro]]''. A slight variation in that the nine naive young samurai were certain they'd identified the villain—and reported that to the ''real'' villain, who asked them to meet him later at a secluded shrine to discuss matters further. Fortunately, [[Toshiro Mifune]] was sleeping in the shrine and decided to save these well-meaning idiots.

* Averted in ''[[V for Vendetta]]'', when Sutler asks Finch if anyone else has read Delia's diary. Finch answers no, but Sutler just tells him he'd better forget about it.

The two leads, Richard and Larry, come across a work situation in which a customer's next of kin was issued a life insurance check multiple times, essentially meaning that either the man died four times or [[Insurance Fraud|someone was ripping off the company]]. They bring it to their boss, Bernie Lomax, who casually asks [[Title Drop|if they've shown this to anyone else.]] Being [[Yes-Man|company men]], they continue sucking up to Lomax and, of course, tell him he's the first person they've spoken with.

His boss, instead, tells his hitman to kill Lomax instead. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
