* In ''[[Mars Attacks (Film)!]]'', Martians embark on a humorously vicious invasion of Earth. When they've reached the President of the United States (played by [[Jack Nicholson]]), he makes a moving speech, ending with an impassioned, "Why can't we all just get along?" The Martians appear convinced, for just a moment -- then they skewer him. Martians are one bunch who just cannot give peace a chance. The same scene also features the film's blatant Patton parody delivering a direct quote of Churchill's famous "we will fight them on the beaches" speech and firing his pistols wildly. The alien leader shrinks him down and squishes him.
* ''[[Deep Blue Sea]]'': One of the defining moments is {{spoiler|when [[Samuel L. Jackson|Samuel L. Jackson's]] [[Rousing Speech]] to the other survivors is cut short. [[Everything's Even Worse with Sharks|By a shark.]] [[It Makes Sense in Context|While indoors.]]}}
{{quote| '''Russell:''' Enough! That's enough now, from all of you! You think water's fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind. Like it knows it killed the world once -- it got a taste for murder. When the avalanche came, it took us a week to climb out. And somewhere, we lost hope. Now I don't know exactly when we turned on each other, I just know that seven of us survived the slide... and only five made it out. Now we took an oath that I'm breaking now. Swore that we said 'twas the snow that killed the other two. But it wasn't. Nature can be lethal, but it doesn't hold a candle to man. Now you've seen how bad things can get and how quick they can get that way. Well, they can get a whole lot worse! So we're not going to fight anymore! We're going to pull together and we're going to find a way to get outta here! First, we're gonna seal off this- {{spoiler|'''''CHOMP!'''''}}}}
