Line 38:
* Early in [[Outlaw Star]], the crew blast their way out of a spaceport to evade space pirates, presumably causing hundreds of thousands of wongs in damage. Towards the end of the series, the crew returns and Gene is immediately arrested and thrown in jail for property damage and other laws he broke, and only gets out at all because the traffic controller had been found to be taking bribes.
* In ''[[The World God Only Knows]]'', Keima notices that unlike in a game, {{spoiler|when an idol confesses their love to you}}, other people are generally not happy. In fact, they're ''pissed''.
* Any [[Hentai]] where the girl gets pregnant after unprotected sex when it's not explicitly [[
* ''[[Freezing]]'' features beautiful girls who attack each other with sharp weapons. When their clothes get ripped apart, so do their bodies.
* In ''[[Holyland]]'', gangsters often don't respect the results of [[Combat by Champion]] but instead beat the victor down anyway.
Line 123:
* At the end of ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]'', {{spoiler|Zoller}} makes hostile advances on {{spoiler|Shosanna}}, who shoots him. After a while, it turns out that {{spoiler|Zoller}} is not dead, and {{spoiler|Shosanna}} has second thoughts, so she goes to him - and gets shot dead in return.
* Possibly the most delightful moment from 1980s [[Eddie Murphy]] vehicle ''[[The Golden Child]]'' is when the [[Big Bad]] Sardo Numspa attempts to have Murphy's character Jarrell arrested, claiming that Jarrell stole a dagger from Numpsa, because Numpsa needs the dagger to kill [[The Messiah]]. Numpsa believes that either Jarrell will give him the dagger to avoid arrest, or that the police will simply hand it over to him after arresting Jarrell if he refuses. Jarrell gleefully agrees to be arrested, then takes a moment to explain the rules of evidence handling to Numpsa: Jarrell will be arrested, and the dagger held in police custody as evidence for his trial, which might not happen for months or over a year. Since Numpsa has to kill the child within a specific time frame, instead of having to fight his way past one or two unarmed guardians he'd have to storm police headquarters to get ahold of the dagger. Numpsa is forced to publicly back off of his accusations and let Jarrell go free rather than risk it.
* ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' ended with a triumphant victory for the heroes, but the sequel shows the aftermath. The defeat of Gozer calmed the psychic dimension, allowing the ghosts to rest at peace once again and putting the ghostbusting services out of business. On top of that, the amount of property damage, code violations, and other offenses committed throughout the first movie have [[
* In [[Werner Herzog]]'s remake of ''[[Nosferatu]]'', {{spoiler|Van Helsing kills Dracula. He is then arrested for murdering a foreign dignitary. End of film.}}
* The generally lighthearted comedy ''[[The Men Who Stare at Goats]]'' takes a dark turn when it references the real [[w:Project MKUltra|MK-ULTRA experiments]]: A soldier is driven into psychosis with LSD and disorienting lights. He goes on a rampage and is [[Driven to Suicide]]. Later on, it revisits the theme when the protagonists discover a working application of all that "research": {{spoiler|sleep deprivation torture via loud nonstop music and strobe lights}}.
