* The opening of the second film version of ''[[Casino Royale]]'' almost spells out this trope:
{{quote|'''Dryden''': How did he die?
'''[[James Bond (film)|Bond]]''': Your contact? Not well.
'''Dryden''': Made you feel it, did he? Well, you needn't worry. [[Killed Mid-Sentence|The second is]]--''(gets shot by Bond)''
'''Bond''': [[Bond One-Liner|Yes. Considerably.]] }}
* In ''[[True Romance]]'', Virgil the enforcer takes a breather from beating on Alabama to explain his experience with this trope, ending with, "Now I kill 'em just to watch their expressions change." Virgil unforgettably played by James Gandolfini before his [[The Sopranos|big promotion]].
Line 93:
* Jokingly referenced in ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'':
{{quote|'''O'Neill''': Something wrong?
'''Carter''': No. I've just never... [[Remember When You Blew Up a Sun?|blown up a star before]].
'''O'Neill''': Well, [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|they say the first one's always the hardest]]. }}

This is the ''only'' time any of the henchmen are given a second thought, even by ''their own side''.
* In [http://iwd.fetchquest.com/archives.php?type=iwd&c=241 this strip] of ''In Wily's Defense'', Megaman refutes this after killing {{spoiler|Skull Man.}}
