* ___: ''[[In the Heat of the Night]]'' when a rich white bigot slapped Poitier's character, Det. Virgil Tibbs, for daring to question him on suspicion of murder. To the shock of white viewers and the delight of black ones, Tibbs instantly slaps the bigot back, an act that was previously ''unthinkable'' for African American characters in mainstream Hollywood films.
* [[They Call Me Mister Tibbs]]: Sidney Poitier's character in ''[[In the Heat of the Night]]'' is the Trope Namer.
