* In ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'', Kano and his various imitators can rip people's hearts out, while they don't directly hold the hearts in front of their victims, they ''do'' hold the hearts up for everyone to see (Including the victim, if that particular game makes him fall backward afterwards). Kobra takes it one step further by shoving the heart into the victim's mouth.
** In ''[[Undercover Brother]]'' [[Token Minority|token white guy]] Lance is so enraged at being called a sissy towards the end of the movie, he performs various fatalities from [[Mortal Kombat]] on the guards; including Kano's
** In ''[[MK 9]]'', Kano's heart rip fatality actually fits the "Show it to 'em" criteria, as he spins them around, so he faces his opponent's back, and then rams his fist through their back and out their chest, clutching their heart in his hand right in front of their face.
* One of the many, many over-the-top finishers available in ''[[MadWorld]]''. And it's one of the ''tamer'' ones.
Line 143:
* [[Truth in Television]] (allegedly): Sir Everard Digby, one of Guy Fawkes' gunpowder plotters, was hanged, and then as the story goes, his heart was torn out by the executioner who cried "Here is the heart of a traitor!" The slightly implausible part of the story is that Digby came back to life just long enough to shout "Thou liest!"
** This was done in the old-fashioned British execution method known as drawing and quartering, but instead of the heart they did it with the condemned's intestines and [[Unusual Euphemism|"Privy-Members"]]. ''And set the aforementioned organs '''on fire''''' as they did so.
* [http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2010/05/31/2010-05-31_mma_fighter_jarrod_wyatt_allegedly_ripped_out_training_partner_taylor_powells_he.html MMA fighter Jarrod Wyatt] apparently ripped out his training partner's heart (along with tongue and most of his face) because he thought Satan was in him after getting high on "mushroom tea". According to the [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1282647/US-cage-fighter-Jarrod-Wyatt-rips-training-partner-Taylor-Powells-heart.html#ixzz0pWlIykDe Daily Mail] (so take that as you will), Taylor Powell was still alive when the heart came out, so it might fit under [[Beat Still My Heart|here]] as well.
* The Aztecs did this on a daily basis with their captives. They thrust a dagger under the ribs of the victim, yanked their heart out, and held it up as an offering of blood to their gods.
* A prisoner named Henri Languille, condemned to the Guillotine, became part of [[wikipedia:Guillotine#Living heads|a scientific experiment]]. Immediately upon decapitation, Dr. Beaurieux took the head and spoke the prisoner's name until the eyes stopped responding and looking in the doctor's eyes. Because no EEG was attached, nobody knows whether it was a conscious mental or unconscious muscle/nerve response. One might assume the prisoner got a glimpse of his own body in those few seconds between being severed and unconsciousness.
