* In ''[[
* Issei in ''[[High School DxD]]'' somehow manages {{spoiler|to summon the ''freaking breast god.'' '''EVERYONE''' stops fighting and turns to look at him like he was going crazy.}}
Line 22:
* ''[[Undercover Brother]]''. While the title character is fighting a couple of [[mook]]s, Sista Girl and White She Devil start ripping each others' clothes off and end up showering together. UB and the mooks stop fighting, sit down together and enjoy the show.
* In the [[Justified Extra Lives|first]] climax of ''[[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World]]'', Knives dives into the scene to {{spoiler|attack not Gideon, but ''Ramona'', for breaking Scott's heart}}. Scott and {{spoiler|Gideon}} just stop to watch them fight for a few moments before resuming their own fight.
* In the film adaptation of ''[[Indian in The Cupboard]]'', Patrick uses the cupboard to animate several iconic pop-culture plastic figures, including a ''[[Jurassic Park]]'' T-rex and [[Star Wars|Darth Vader]], before Omri can stop him. When the cupboard is opened, we see the characters engaged in combat... until they notice the comparatively giant-sized boys standing there, stop fighting, and stare. Omri quickly changes them back before anything happens.
* In ''[[Hot Shots Part Deux]]'', Topper is having a shootout with a [[Mook]] when they both pause and look over as the [[Energizer Bunny]] enters the battlefield. After a moment, they open fire on the Bunny, celebrate for a moment, then Topper kills the Mook,

* Happens to a combating Orc and Human in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f96hKqkY_Y this] ''[[Warcraft]] III'' intro... Until they're both killed by what they're gawking at.
* Happens in the opening FMV of ''[[Pac-Man World]] 2''. The ghosts are playing with the Golden Fruit (which they just plucked off the tree), then the fun and games turns to an argument, then horseplay...then Clyde just stands there, eyes and mouth wide with terror, as [[Big Bad|Spooky]] emerges from under the tree. The rest of the ghosts stop fighting and gawp, paralyzed with fear.
