Line 111:
* When ''[[Angel]]'' loses his soul for the umpteenth time, his sidekick calls in [[The Atoner|fallen Slayer]] Faith to hunt him down. This might have been a short fight, since Angel has a long record of getting soundly beaten every time he fights a Slayer (Faith herself managed to bounce him ''off the ceiling'' while attempting [[Suicide by Cop]]) so before the big fight she gets beaten to a bloody pulp by [[The Juggernaut]]. Oh, and {{spoiler|gives herself a massive dose of magical opiates}}. She still nearly beats him, because Slayers are just that [[Badass]].
* On ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]],'' Buffy gets a rather cool line in the season four opener:
{{quote|'''[[Monster of the Week|Sunday]]:''' What about breaking your arm, (''grabs at Buffy's left arm'') how'd that feel.
''[[The Hero|Buffy]]:'' Let me answer that with a head butt. (''she does and sends Sunday staggering'') And for the record, the arm is ''hurt,'' (''punches Sunday, sending her flying'') not broken. }}
* When Shaw has taken over the Buy More and has chained Sarah to a thick bar at the base of the Nerd Herd desk, Sarah tells Shaw that Chuck won't show up to save her because he can barely stand. Yet, lo, and behold, Chuck shows up while injured, gets a [[Heroic Second Wind|reboot]], and [[Technical Pacifist|takes the Paragon Path]] when he won't kill Shaw. [[Action Girlfriend|Of course that doesn't stop Sarah from whacking him across the skull with the object of her restraint.]]

* One does wonder about people like [[The Determinator|Commissar Yarrick]] in ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'', who have special abilities that allow them to stand up with one Wound left after being killed.

* ''[[Beast Wars]]''. Specifically Dinobot's [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] where Megatron speaks these lines verbatim when Dinobot, after a long battle with several other Predacons is reduced to a large stick against an upgraded Megatron. Of course, Dinobot "improvises" and [[Took a Level Inin Badass|Takes A Level In Badass]].
* In the very-first episode of ''Thundercats'', the Mutants invade the Thundarian flagship, seeking to steal the Sword of Omens, and particularly the Eye Of Thundara set in its hilt. When they find it, it lies in the hands of a young Lion-O, and when he tries to threaten them, they laughingly reply that "You can barely hold that sword, much less lift it." Which is, of course, the sword's cue to [[Power Glows|start glowing]]. Moments later, Lion-O is swinging the full-sized sword around despite his young age, and the Mutants are running scared.
