Line 178:
* In ''[[Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (film)|Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street]]'', Sweeney gets one of these—in musical form—after he {{spoiler|discovers that the beggar woman he killed was his wife Lucy}}.
* Hilariously subverted in ''A Dog's Breakfast''. Patrick wants to kill his future brother-in-law, Ryan. Ryan offers to help him chop wood by holding the wood steady for him. Patrick lifts his axe up, clearly intending to render Ryan in two. We cut to a shot of the woods just as we hear a dull ''thunk'', complete with blood curdling scream. We then cut back to Patrick's face who whispers: ''"What have I done?"''.....only to watch him collapse in pain as we realise that he's actually hit ''himself'' in the leg with the axe's handle by accident.
* ''[[Planet of the Apes]]'' has a [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|"What have ''you'' done?"]] moment: "So we finally, really did it. YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! AH, DAMN YOU! GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!"
* In ''[[Repo! The Genetic Opera]]'', Nathan says this after confessing that {{spoiler|his daughter is not sick, rather he has been poisoning her in order to keep her from ever leaving him.}}
* In ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (film)|TMNT]]'' (2007), during Raphael's fight with Leonardo, he manages to break Leonardo's swords, and then pin Leonardo down to the ground, and then, he realizes what he's doing, and runs off, only to come back to save Leonardo from the Stone Generals, but fails miserably.

* The page image is of [[Imperial Russia|Tsar]] Ivan IV the Terrible holding the body of his son, the Tsarevich (heir apparent) Ivan. The Tsar decided that his son's his pregnant wife was too immoderately dressed (or something), and the younger Ivan jumped in to defend her; in a fit of rage, the Tsar proceeded to beat down on his son with his scepter. Heavily. But when Tsar Ivan realized that his son was ''almost dead'', he started kissing him and trying to stop the bleeding, crying, "May I be damned! I've killed my son! I've killed my son!". His son regained consciousness long enough to deliver some [[Tear Jerker]] last words, and then remained comatose until dying a few days later -- duringlater—during which his father remained awake for long hours praying constantly for a miracle.
* Captain Robert Lewis, co-pilot of the ''Enola Gay'', watched the city of Hiroshima disappear in an atomic blast. Some members of the crew would claim that Lewis was at first caught up in the moment and yelled, "My God, would you look at that sonofabitch go!", but after he calmed down, Lewis wrote in his log, "My God, what have we done?" (The rest of the crew maintained that they [[I Did What I Had to Do|did what they had to do]]).
