Line 53:
* A janitor is killed by having his head dunked in a sink that was randomly full of acid (or some kind of corrosive chemical) in ''[[Hospital Massacre]]''.
* In ''[[Mind Hunters]]'', a quantity of acid small enough to be concealed undetectably in a cigarette is sufficient to kill the FBI trainee who smokes it. While her death might be reasonable under the circumstances, her entire body emitting vapor from, at most, a few mL of acid isn't, nor is the dropped cigarette melting its way into the ground beneath it.
* ''[[Alien]]'' knockoff flick ''[[Deep Rising]]'' features giant worms with stomach acids so strong that they get their nutrition by merely engulfing and digesting their prey alive. The actinacting effects of this are shown in one particularly gory sequence appropriately know as [[Body Horror|"half-digested Billy".]]

* The 1985 B-grade horror flick ''Attack of the Beast Creatures'' features a whole ''river'' made of acid, which coincidentally looks exactly like normal water. When one person tries to cross it, his body gets dissolved until only the skeleton remains. It's never made clear how such a large body of highly corrosive acid came to exist, nor how the tropical rainforest on the river bank manages to prosper.
