* In ''[[Equilibrium]]'', which features a fair number of demonstrations of the Academy's graduates in action. In one particularly (in)famous scene, protagonist Preston stood still in the middle of a crossfire while his opposition opened up and failed to hit him anyway. This was [[Hand Wave|explained away]] by virtue of the fictional "[[Gun Kata]]" martial art, which teaches its practitioners to seek locations with minimum probability of getting fired at.
* Parodied spectacularly in ''[[UHF (film)|UHF]]'s'' [[Rambo]] homage, where George strolls towards an enemy soldier while the latter is desperately firing an assault rifle directly at him. Even after George stops with only a few feet between him and the goon... and proceeds to slowly ready his bow, the enemy still can't land any hits.
* ''[[Judge Dredd (film)|Judge Dredd]]'' justifies this to a certain extent in an early scene, with Dredd pointing out to the other Judges (who are hiding behind cover while Dredd is out in the open) that despite the large quantity of gunfire coming down around him, apparently they're well beyond the manufacturer-listed "lethal range" for the guns that are being used, and so Dredd doesn't see the need to hide.
* In the [[Blaxploitation]] film ''Three The Hard Way'', the three heroes, armed with single-shot cap pistols from a considerable distance, defeat a larger group of men, who are armed with fully automatic machine guns, killing all but one of them (whom they capture to interrogate). One of the heroes gets a small flesh wound, the others are untouched.
