Line 253:
* The [[Chuck Norris]] movie ''Code of Silence'' has a sequence where two lowlife thugs enter a nondescript Chicago bar full of middle-aged white guys who don't look like much of anything, and some younger friends, sitting there quietly drinking their beers. After an epically failed attempt to appear casual, the two lowlifes draw their guns and loudly announce that this is a stickup. They aren't even halfway through their opening move before they notice, to their horror, that ''every single customer in the room'' has pulled a handgun on them. Moral of the story: Don't try to stick up the local cop bar.
* ''[[Back to the Future]]''; Biff's pals threaten Reginald, with a racial slur no less; Reginald's tough-looking friend Martin shows up with ''his'' three tough-looking friends. [[Oh Crap]]...
* ''[[Police Academy]]''; trying to intimidate a police officer would usually fall into [[Bullying a Dragon]] territory, but in the 6th movie, the officer in question is sweet, shy, and meek-looking Officer Hook. At the beginning of the movie, she's writing a citation for a car parked in a red zone, when the owner — a bigwig in an overstuffed suit — tries to scare her out of ticketing him (claiming his brother-in-law is on the city council), threatening to have her demoted, and then tearing up the citation. He regrets it; she comes back quickly with additional citations (for parking too far from the curb, blocking a hydrant, having no license plate, having an expired tag, [[Laser-Guided Karma| littering]], attempting to extort an officer, and destroying the first citation, along with the original one for parking in a red zone) and then ''tells'' a tow truck to impound the car. She breaks her sweet attitude to punctuate what she tells him so he won't forget it.
