Line 52:
** Type 2 in ''[[Dr. No]]'', when a hitman tries to shoot Bond with an empty gun. "That's a Smith and Wesson. And you've had your six."
* ''[[The Rock (film)|The Rock]]'': Just after Goodspeed and Mason's Navy SEAL teammates are all drawn into a trap and killed, Goodspeed tries to stop Mason from leaving by pulling his pistol on him. Mason replies that [[Defensive Failure|Goodspeed doesn't have what it takes to kill him]], adding "Besides, the safety's on" before grabbing the gun away.
* ''[[Shoot'Em Up (film)|Shoot Em Up]]'' features this trope when, at the beginning of the movie, the hero, Mr. Smith holds the villain, Mr. Hertz at gunpoint with his own gun. Hertz appears quite jolly, even reciting a limerick, until Smith tries to shoot him, only to find that the gun has a fingerprint sensor to prevent anyone but the owner from discharging it. Later, {{spoiler|it is inverted, when Smith corners Hertz in a brothel, who chuckles again as Smith pulls out a gun,
* This happens to One-Round, the [[Dumb Muscle]] member of the gang in the 1955 version of ''The Ladykillers.''

When he protests that she said it wasn't loaded, she fires off a warning shot to prove that she was lying.
Line 69:
** Actually... she adds insult to injury by disarming him and then [[Pistol-Whipping]] him with his own weapon.
* Perhaps the ultimate example is the [[Cool Gun|Lawgiver 2]] in [[Judge Dredd]], which electrocutes any non-Judge who tries to fire it. It's also a subversion, as the one person who attempts to lampshade this gets shot - turns out the man he's addressing ''is'' a Judge.
* [[Black Sheep]] has an example where a woman who was very anti-gun points a rifle at the other two protagonists, threatening to shoot. One of them points out that the safety is on, then when she can't fix it, he takes the gun, sets the safety to
* ''[[Snatch]]'' has a variation, when Bullet-tooth Tony points out that the guns being wielded by his would-be attackers have the word 'replica' written on them, while his has the words 'Desert Eagle'.
** [[BFG|"Point Five-Oh"]]
Line 80:
** She gets a [[Take That]] back, however:
