Line 46:
* Lord Cutler Beckett, ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: At World's End'' to Davy Jones: "We need prisoners to interrogate, which tends to work best when they're alive."
* In [[The Film of the Book]] ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'', The Wicked Witch Of The West takes the "extra sadism" route: "Do what you want with the others, but I want [Dorothy] alive and unharmed!"
* In ''[[Hudson Hawk]]'', the villains berate one of their henchmen for threatening to kill a captured [[Bruce Willis (Creator)]], remarking that they need him alive to steal a [[MacGuffin]] for them. Realizing that they can't kill him, Bruce takes the opportunity to begin acting outrageously (singing a silly song, slapping the henchmen around, and grabbing the villainess and dancing lewdly with her) until [[The Dragon]] threatens Bruce with a [[Groin Attack]], and the villainess remarks there's ''one'' body part that he won't be needing to steal the [[MacGuffin]] later on.
* In ''[[The Mask (film)|The Mask]],'' [[Big Bad|Dorian Tyrell]] offers fifty thousand dollars to anyone who can find the titular Mask character... and bring him in the next day alive, so Tyrell can find out where The Mask took the money from a bank robbery.
* Cade gives the order to capture Shua alive at the start of ''[[Sky Blue]]''.
