Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:

{{subpages}}
== Other Examples ==
* ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' has Dent's reaction to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwluvtQOX_4#t=54s Rachel Dawes telling him that] [[Sadistic Choice|only of them would survive, and their friends had to choose who]].
* ''[[The Shawshank Redemption]]'' features several in a row on {{spoiler|warden Samuel Norton's}} part.
Line 44 ⟶ 49:
*** And Vogel himself gets one ''after'' the tank has gone over and he sees the ground coming up.
*** Indy also has one when he finds himself face-to-face with ''[[Adolf Hitler]] himself''.
* ''Leon/[[Léon: The Professional]]'': "This... is from Mathilda". {{spoiler|Leon, dressed in SWAT gear, makes it past the cops coming for him, but on his way out Stansfield shoots him in the back. He presses something into Stanfield's hand and says, "This is from Mathilda." Stansfield doesn't understand for a moment, then realizes what it is: a grenade pin. And Leon has several more on his chest. Stansfield says "Shit" and is blown to bits}}.
** A lesser, but just about as good version is early in the final battle when a SWAT team first approaches the apartment. The point man looks around the corner:
{{quote|'''SWAT Leader:''' Do you see him?
Line 61 ⟶ 66:
** That huge orc army gets their [[Oh Crap]] moment as the Rohirrim charge, completely ignoring the arrows and spears (slightly) thinning out their numbers.
*** In a subversion, the orc army gets an [[Oh Crap]] when Gimli, Legolas and Aragorn get off the boats and charge at them. They [[Oh Crap]] BEFORE seeing that these three dudes brought an army of ghosts with them, at which point they simply panic. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] since they'd been expecting reinforcements on the ships - seeing people clearly ''not'' part of those forces get off instead was a clear signal that the reinforcements weren't coming.
{{quote|'''Corsair Captain:''' [[Tempting Fate|You and which army?]]
'''Aragorn:''' ''This'' Army. }}
** The Witch King himself probably would've gotten one, if he actually had a face, when [[No Man of Woman Born|he discovered that his opponent wasn't a man]].
Line 95 ⟶ 100:
*** Motti, meanwhile, had a serious [[Oh Crap]] speech.
** Admiral Piett in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'', "Intensify forward fire power!"
*** Let's not forget his original moment at the end of ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'', when the ''Falcon'' manages to jump to lightspeed, after Piett had assured Vader that his men had sabotaged the ship. Piett watches Vader with horror, knowing the [[You Have Failed Me...|price of failure]]. Made more chilling when Vader [[Nothing Is Scarier|doesn't even regard him]], instead [[Villain's Dying Grace|calmly and quietly leaving the room]]. Made less chilling by Piett actually surviving and appearing in the sequel.
**** The upper deck of the bridge of Vader's ship also seems to have cleared out ''very'' quickly when the ''Falcon'' goes to hyperspace, as none of the crew wanted to be in Vader's way, or even his line of sight, as he walked out.
** In ''Episode IV'', while Han chased a handful of Stormtroopers down a hallway on the Death Star, he runs into an entire platoon. In the special edition, he runs into an entire ''company'' on parade.
** [[Memetic Mutation|IT'S A TRAP!]]
** Also in ''A New Hope'', after Obi-Wan tells Luke that Stormtroopers, not Sand People, destroyed the Jawa sandcrawler:
Line 128 ⟶ 133:
** Also in ''Generations'', when the ''Enterprise'' is about to crash on a nearby planet, the until-recently [[The Spock|emotionless]] [[Ridiculously-Human Robots|android]] Data says what everybody present (including the audience) is thinking: "Oh, ''[[Precision F-Strike|shit]]''!"
*** Let's not forget Soran's face right before {{spoiler|he gets blown up along with his rocket}}.
** From ''[[Star Trek: Nemesis]]'', when Shinzon realizes [[Ramming Always Works|what Picard is up to]]:
{{quote|''''HARD TO PORT!!!!''''}}
* ''[[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]]'' provides a minor, but memorable, example. Kirk and Sulu are well on their way to a ridiculously dangerous mission, for which Sulu volunteered after Kirk asked if anybody had combat training.
Line 162 ⟶ 167:
* It's a bit hard to tell due to the fact he speaks in about as fast and high-pitched a voice as Alvin and the Chipmunks, but Frenzy squeaks "Ohshit" in ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' right before his own bandsaw comes around and cuts him in half.
** "IT'S STARSCREAM!"
** "Shit! It's a [[
* Tristar's 1998 ''[[Godzilla]]'', after [[Fan Nickname|GINO]] finds out his kids have kicked the bucket.
{{quote|'''Nick:''' He looks angry.
Line 291 ⟶ 296:
** Early in the film, Group Captain Mandrake goes to tell General Ripper the alert they're under is a false alarm and that he should recall the bombers, concluding Ripper sent out unauthorized attack orders even as he's talking.
* In ''Gun Crazy: A Woman From Nowhere'', the [[Big Bad]]'s goons dig up the briefcase with the money they are after and open it... only to discover that, along with the money, there is a large amount of explosives inside.
* ''[[The Lovely Bones]]'' has a particularly effective moment when Susie says to Mr. Harvey that she needs to go home, and then he responds by telling her to "be polite." The look on her face drives it home in that she now knows just how much trouble she's in.
* ''[[Twilight (novel)|The Twilight Saga: Eclipse]]'' counts too. During the climactic battle scene while the rogue gang of misled vampires is charging toward the coven they believe is outnumbered two to one, only to see nine large wolves bounding out of the forest and leaping toward them. To say they were surprised is an understatement.
* ''[[Titanic]]'', from both Captain Smith and Mr. Ismay:
{{quote|'''Mr. Andrews:''' The pumps will buy you time, but minutes only. From this moment on, no matter what we do, Titanic will founder.
'''Mr. Ismay:''' ''(aghast)'' [[Artistic License Engineering|But this ship can't sink!]]
'''Mr. Andrews:''' [[What an Idiot!|She's made of iron, sir.]] I assure you, she can. And she ''will.'' It is a mathematical certainty.
'''Captain Smith:''' How much time?
'''Mr. Andrews:''' ''(looks at the blueprints, counts)'' An hour...two at most.
'''Captain Smith:''' And how many onboard, Mr. Murdoch?
'''First Officer Murdoch:''' 2,200 souls onboard, sir.
'''Captain Smith:''' [[Ironic Echo|Well, I believe you may get your headlines, Mr. Ismay.]] }}
** How could we forget "ICEBERG, RIGHT AHEAD!"?
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20140530174201/http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/ActorsE/5333-23805.gif This] image of Benjamin Guggenheim <ref>who was willing to go down with the Titanic</ref>witnessing the water rise within the ship as it is sinking.
* ''[[Letters From Iwo Jima]]'', when Saigo is sent outside to empty the latrine bucket and discovers the entire ocean covered with U.S. Navy warships from horizon to horizon as far as the eye can see.
* In ''[[The China Syndrome]]'', the look of terror on Jack Lemmon's face when his character taps the water level indicator and they realize that the level of the coolant water is not exactly where it should be.
* ''[[Piranha 3D]]'': {{spoiler|They're the ''babies''.}}
* Played well by Noah Volsen in ''[[The Bourne Series (film)|The Bourne Ultimatium]]'' when he realizes {{spoiler|Jason is currently in his office, within arms reach of the documents that will put him in prison}}.
* In ''[[Mystery Men]]'' [[Big Bad|Casanova Frankenstein]] is kicking Mr. Furious's ass until the following exchange:
{{quote|'''Furious:''' "[[Catch Phrase|Rage... taking over...]]
'''Frankenstein:''' "Ya, ya, ya. We've heard all that before."
'''Furious:''' "No, no, no... RAGE... REALLY TAKING OVER..."
'''Frankenstein''': ([[Oh Crap]]) }}
* In ''[[Barry Lyndon]]'', when Lord Bulington's shaking hands inadvertently discharge his dueling pistol before he gets an aim, spoiling his having first shot on his much hated stepfather.
Line 336 ⟶ 341:
* The US President, at the end of ''[[Escape from New York]]'', about to play the tape with his message for the conference. Cue epic [[Oh Crap]] expression when he discovers {{spoiler|that Snake Plissken's switched the tape for Cabbie's and thus he is regaling the other politicians with "Bandstand Boogie"}}.
* In ''[[The Longest Day]],'' a German lookout officer on the morning of the Normandy landings is sweeping the coast with his binoculars, thinking that today is just going to be another day. One Allied bombardment and sheer panicked expression later, his report to High Command is all but incomprehensible, ending with his insistence that this massive number of ships the Allies can't possibly have (according to German High Command)? "They've got them!"
* A hilarious one in
** Voldemort's face in ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2]]'' after he discovers that {{spoiler|Harry isn't dead}}.
** And Snape's expression pales considerably after Voldemort says that {{spoiler|the [[Infinity+1 Sword|Elder Wand]] belongs to the wizard who killed the previous owner, in this case Dumbledore and since [[It Was His Sled|Snape killed Dumbledore]]...}}
* [[Ace Ventura]] goes through this in the end of ''Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls'' when the Watchati/Wachootoo tribes find out that {{spoiler|the Wachati princess is not a virgin.}}
Line 355 ⟶ 360:
{{quote|'''Black Widow:''' (on seeing the {{spoiler|giant alien space-dragon chasing Stark}}) I...I really don't see how that is a party.}}
** There's suddenly thunder and lighting after Loki {{spoiler|is captured by SHIELD}}
{{quote|'''[[Captain America (comics)]]:''' Afraid of a little thunder?
'''Loki:''' I'm
** Loki does it again when informed by Tony Stark that regardless of the outcome of the battle with the invading enemy, the Avengers will hold him, personally responsible, and even if they lose the planet they will come for him. For just a second Loki has an expression indicating that he really doesn't find that scenario very appealing.
* Played very darkly in ''[[Se7en]]'', when Somerset finds out what's in the box.
Line 363 ⟶ 368:
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty|Senior Drill Sergeant]] [[Full Metal Jacket|Hartman's]] whole demeanor changes when informed:
{{quote|'''Private Joker:''' Sir, it is the private's duty to inform the senior drill instructor that Private Pyle has a full magazine that is locked and loaded, Sir!}}
* From the film version of [[RED_(film)|RED]], Agent Cooper has just managed to take Sara prisoner and Moses calls him on his cell phone to gently hint that he should treat Sara well or else. Cooper nods, taking the threats in stride while he cheerfully keeps Moses talking long enough to finish a phone trace. And then Cooper's expression goes straight from calm and confident to not-so-subdued horror when the ''results'' of the phone trace come in -- Moses is calling Cooper ''from his own house''.
{{quote|'''Moses:''' So let me be clear. Touch one hair on her head and I will remove your wife and children from the face of the Earth. And only then will I end you. *dial tone*}}
