Line 46:
** At least until the sequel.
* The Grammaton cleric John Preston in the movie ''[[Equilibrium]]'' is a highly-trained police officer/executioner for the Fascist theocratic government of a mid-21st century police state. Once he [[Hitman with a Heart|recovers his own emotions]] and realizes what monstrous society has been created in the name of peace and transquility, he [[Heel Face Turn|becomes a rebel himself]] and turns the tables on his former employers, {{spoiler|killing the people send out to kill him and executing the head of the State Church.}}
{{quote| "In the first years of the 21st century, a third World War broke out. Those of us who survived knew mankind could never survive a fourth; that our own volatile natures could simply no longer be risked. So we have created a new arm of the law: The Grammaton Cleric, whose sole task it is to seek out and eradicate the true source of [[Humans Are Bastards|man's inhumanity to man]] - his ability to feel."}}
* Belgian [[Film]] ''[[The Alzheimers Case]],'' also known as ''De Zaak Alzheimer'' and ''Memory of a Killer'' features this after the main character refuses to kill a child prostitute.
* The short film ''[http://www.spike.com/video/talking-dessert/434948 Talking Dessert]''.

* Done memorably on ''[[Angel]]'', much to the frustration of the contractors:
{{quote| This is getting ridiculous. The first assassin kills the second assassin, sent to kill the first assassin, who didn't assassinate anyone until we hired the second assassin to assassinate the first assassin. }}
** Specifically, Wolfram and Hart hired Faith to kill Angel. She then made a [[Heel Face Turn]] and Angel gave her sanctuary in his apartment. Wolfram and Hart then hire a demon to kill Faith, but Faith kills it instead.
* Parodied in a ''[[Kids in The Hall]]'' sketch, where a hitman is contracted to take himself out.
