* At the end of ''[[Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children]]'', after Cloud has defeated Kadaj and the others lower the airship to pick him up, he gets suddenly shot right throught the chest in a highly dramatic fashion by Yazoo, who pops up with Loz behind him.

* Zukovsky does a variant in ''[[The World Is Not Enough (Film)|The World Is Not Enough]]'', albeit without directly killing anyone; instead, he fires his cane-gun at the manacles securing Bond to Elektra's torture chair. Elektra assumes Zukovsky was trying to kill Bond and missed, remarking that "he must have really hated you," but the impact of the bullet enables Bond to break free - almost certainly Zukovsky's intention, given that he realized immediately previous that Elektra had killed his nephew.

** Subverted in ''[[Yojimbo]]''. The villain makes a last request that the hero allow him to die with his prized gun in his hand, claiming that it is unloaded. The hero gives him the gun and he tries to pull one of these, but is so deep in his death throes that he is unable to pull the trigger.
