* ''[[Joe Versus the Volcano]]''. Joe agrees to kill himself by jumping into a volcano because he's dying of a brain cloud. {{spoiler|He isn't. It was a failed [[Batman Gambit]] to get him to jump.}}

* In ''[[Kill Bill]] Vol. 2'', Bill tells the story of a [[Touch of Death|Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique]] known by Pai-Mei, which kills its victims after they take five steps. {{spoiler|The Bride uses it on Bill in their final confrontation, revealing herself to have learned it from him. This lets him have one last chat with them before he walks away and falls over}}.

* In ''[[Star Wars]]'', Darth Vader lives in a life-support suit.

** The [[Expanded Universe]] has Palpatine [[Came Back Strong|get better. Much better.]] But [[The Dark Side]] corrupts his clone bodies, so he has to keep using new ones, and each new body is corrupted more quickly. Then his clone bodies are killed by [[The Starscream|his apprentices]]. There's a mild double subversion: He tries to possess Han and Leia's son, but fails.
