[[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]] - a character takes a bullet to the hindquarters. The ultimate in [[Amusing Injuries]] which, as well as being [[Only a Flesh Wound]], is an assisted [[Literal Ass -Kicking]] by a bullet to the buttocks. Or an arrow. Or a bolt of lightning. Or anything. Usually [[Played for Laughs]] because, seriously, a bullet to the ass?
 
In [[Real Life]], any gunshot can kill, especially if left alone long enough to get horribly infected. But those who get buttshot are ''relatively'' fortunate -- the hindquarters are a large, fleshly target without many blood vessels, and it's not too close to any major organs -- a wound is unlikely to cause permanent damage provided the round wasn't ridiculously large. (And gentlemen, we don't mean ''[[Groin Attack|those]]'' organs, however dear to you they may be; we mean ''really'' vital things like your heart and lungs).
 
If you happen to deliver one of these, a "[[As the Good Book Says...|turn the other cheek]]" one-liner is always good form.

Line 45:
* In ''[[Crank (Film)|Crank]]'', Chev catches a bullet in his ass during his visit to the hospital. It results in an amusing line, and is then swiftly forgotten. Clearly, it takes more than a butt-shot to even inconvenience a dedicated [[Badass]] like Chev Chelios.
* In ''[[Billy Madison]]'' when Eric threatens the audience at gunpoint when losing the decathlon to Billy, he gets shot in the ass by a man Billy called earlier, saving the day.
* The protagonist of the ''51st State'' is shot in the arse by a [[Almost -Lethal Weapons|suddenly less dangerous]] high velocity rifle. It appears to be about as [[Only a Flesh Wound|damaging as an airgun]], despite having killed a bunch of guys moments before. Even [[Improbable Aiming Skills]] couldn't really pull that one off.
* ''[[Spaceballs (Film)|Spaceballs]]'': Princess Vespa shoots a trooper in the arse.
* In the [[Western]] ''That Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend,'' the heroine continually shoots at her no-good boyfriend-- only to perpetually hit the ''town judge'' in the butt.
