Line 78:
* ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]] [[Harry Potter (film)|Part 2]]'' has one involving Snape. He invented Sectumsempra, a spell used for emulating the effect of a sword. Guess exactly which throat Voldemort slices with it? (In the book, Nagini is used instead.)
* At the end of ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]]'', [[God Save Us From the Queen|the Evil Queen]] (disguised as [[One-Winged Angel|the Witch)]] actually threatens to kill the seven dwarfs by crushing them with a boulder after they've discovered that she actually [[Disney Death|"killed"]] Snow White with a poisoned apple and had her cornered at a cliff. Just right before she dislodges the boulder, the Queen is immediately hit by lightning, [[Disney Villain Death|and tumbles off the edge.]] Shortly afterwards, her own boulder falls off the same cliff in the same direction as the Queen.
* In ''[[Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'' Frollo, while trying to kill the heroes, keeps hacking the stone gargoyles they are clinging to with a sword. The circumctancescircumstances conspire so that he has to use one of the gargoyles for support, but the cleaved stone breaks under his weight and he plunges to his death.
* Invoked in ''The Big Red One'' where a character discusses what a bother it is to set a Bangalore Torpedo(several tubes filled with explosives and fitted together to make a kind of snake-like petard).
* Mr. Barron, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children]]''. A demonic shapeshifter, he tried to kill [[The Hero|Jake]] by assuming Jake's form, hoping to fool the other children into killing the real Jake. But he forgets to tell his henchman the Hollow about this plan, and the Hollow kills ''him'', assuming he's Jake. Hollow, in turn, is slain by the real Jake.
* In ''[[Lord of Illusions]]'' after the sorcerer Nix is resurrected, he opens up a chasm to show off his power and reveal the wisdom of the grave. With Swann's help, Harry D'Amour knocks Nix into the chasm he opened up where he crashes through the bottom and into a magma pit. Once he's destroyed the chasm seals up.
