== Films -- Live-Action ==
* ''Blue Ice'' (1992): After a humiliating drug interrogation by a member of MI-5, Michael Caine pays a visit to the interrogator at his house and gets ''him'' to talk by smashing his irreplaceable jazz recordings -- therecordings—the victim is more concerned about losing the music than the financial damage he's taking.
* ''[[48 Hrs.]]'' (1982). Reggie starts to trash the redneck bar until he gets the information he wants.
* ''[[Fanboys]]'' - when caught breaking into Skywalker Ranch, they threaten to destroy an original Millennium Falcon model when cornered by Ray Park. Taken to extremes when one of the guards then threatens to destroy the original Yoda puppet in retaliation. It fails when one of the fans tries to threaten an Ewok head and nobody cares.

* ''[[Pie in the Sky]]''. In "A Matter of Taste", Margaret Crabbe is abducted and locked in a cellar by the villain of the week, who thinks she knows the location of a collection of vintage wines he smuggled into the country. When it looks like things are going to become violent, she grabs a wine bottle to use as a club, and the villain calls his mooks off -- becauseoff—because he's worried about the ''bottle'' getting damaged. Having found his weak point, Margaret proceeds to take merciless advantage.
* Downplayed on ''[[Law and Order: Criminal Intent]].'' Vincent D'Onfrio's character is always walking around grabbing things in the suspect's home, office, etc. Sometimes it leads to [[Eureka Moment|Eureka Moments]]s, but usually it just annoys the person.
* ''[[Blake's 7|Blakes Seven]],'' "Bounty": Blake starts destroying Sarkoff's antique collection to make Sarkoff reassume leadership of the planet Lindo. (Sarkoff assumed Blake was a Federation assassin, and was resigned to his death, but not the loss of his antiques.)
* ''[[Boston Legal]]'': A man confessed to a priest after kidnapping a small child. Brad Chase tries to get the priest to betray confidentiality by threatening to damage a priceless wood door with an axe. Then the priest tries to stop him by [[What an Idiot!|holding his hand in the way of the swing...]]
