Line 1:

* ''[[Star Wars]]'': Darth Vader, ever since the Revenge Of The Sith, will forever be known as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWaLxFIVX1s&feature=related that guy who screamed] "[[Big No|NOOOOOOOOO!]]" On a lesser extent, in the original trilogy, he has the [[You Have Failed Me...]] trope as his [[Never Live It Down]].
** He only did it twice on-screen in the movies. (He would have done it three times, had Tarkin not stopped him.) But he casual manner in which Darth Vader dispatches his incompetent underlings, as well as taking into account [[The Law of Conservation of Detail]], suggests that this is a common occurrence. There's also how the other officers/troopers react to it. They look uncomfortable, but not really shocked or surprised. Their reactions suggest that this is indeed a common occurrence.
** Leia kissed Luke precisely twice, once for luck and once specifically to make a point to Han. There is nothing particularly sexual between them, but some people seem to genuinely believe they were screwing like incestuous bunnies before ''Return of the Jedi''. Wishful thinking? [[Squick]]!
*** The other thing that people conveniently forget is that neither Luke nor Leia ''learned'' they were brother and sister until ''Return of the Jedi''. And neither did the writers.
Line 32:
* ''[[Joe Dirt]]'': After being abducted by [[The Silence of the Lambs|"Buffalo Bob"]], everyone asks Joe if he was harmed in certain ways, even though nothing terrible really happened.
* Despite the fact that the inexperienced Superman had no real way of preventing all the destruction Zod and his team of ultra-powerful Kryptonian warriors caused while having to simultaneously take out a destructive terraforming machine, ''Man of Steel'' will forever be remembered as the movie where a heartless Superman completely destroyed Metropolis without giving a damn about the civilians in the eyes of the film's detractors.
** To be fair, the most common criticism of ''Man of Steel'' is not that Superman failed to avoid collateral damage but that he ''didn't try'' to avoid collateral damage, which are two entirely separate things. Inexperience is a valid excuse for trying and failing, but its not an excuse for failing to even make an effort.
** Furthermore, there are at least two sequences where Clark has the opportunity to choose where the fight will occur -- when he does a flying tackle on Zod into downtown Smallville, and at the end of the movie when he drags Zod down from orbit into the heart of Metropolis (and Clark is clearly in control of their flight path for at least the latter half of that dive, given that he lands with Zod already in a submission hold) and in both instances Clark steers himself and Zod directly into the center of the nearest city instead of aiming for any one of countless acres of uninhabited land that he could have potentially used instead. The final sequence is particularly egregious because they'd just fallen ''from orbit''<ref>Geosynchronous orbit, no less, given that what they'd just crashed through was a communications satellite.</ref>, and could have potentially landed anywhere in the Western Hemisphere... and Clark still steers them straight back to downtown Metropolis.
