Line 32:
* ''[[The Incredible Hulk]]'', the military keeps attacking despite the fact all they're doing is making him mad as he throws their tanks back into each other, turning them into slag.
** This is a carryover from the comics, where the military was so obsessed with stopping the Hulk that they couldn't seem to figure out that every time they tried, it cost millions of dollars (and [[Could Have Been Messy|no lives]]). [[General Ripper|General Ross]] in particular was fond of throwing [[Futurama|wave after wave of his own men]] into battle, despite the fact that the Hulk would just get angrier and stronger with each successive attack.
* ''[[Godzilla]]''. So much so that the absence of this trope is one of the (many) reasons the American Remake is considered [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity]].
* Subverted in ''[[Independence Day]]'', after dropping a nuke [[Nuke'Em|on the invader ship]] which has taken over the city of Houston (and basically nuking anything of the city that is left), the Secretary of Defense thinks that using another nuke on another American city might still work even though the first one failed utterly. The President overrules him, e.g. it was worth trying once, but obviously if it didn't do anything the first time, subsequent attempts would be pointless.
* In the film ''[[Evolution (film)|Evolution]]'', The army tries this against alien life forms that evolve at an alarming rate. Their General, shortly after being told fire makes them evolve faster, tells the main characters to shut up and makes things go to Hell.
