** ''"[[Turbine Blender|NO CAPES!]]"''
** Really, the central premise behind the movie itself is somewhat similar to [[Watchmen]]: the real-life consequences of superhero activities. Mr. Incredible saves a suicidal man, who promptly sues him for the injuries he caused. He stops a runaway train, and is sued for damages. Holding superheroes responsible for the collateral damage they inadvertantly cause is the reason they disappear.
* ''[[Bodyguards
* ''[[Escape From L.A.]]'' Snake goads some mooks to see how fast they can shoot, by getting them to put their guns and not fire till his can hits the ground. When he flips it he shoots them all before it hits the ground.
* In ''[[Wild Wild West (film)|Wild Wild West]]'', when West is up against a mook, said mook fights with elaborate kicks and punches, saying "I learned that from a Chinaman!" West simply hits him over the head with a shovel, stating "I made that up."
* ''[[Kung Fu Jungle]]'' ends similarly to ''Bodyguards and Assassins'' above, both of which star Donnie Yen. The [[Big Bad]], who has been killing martial artists across the length of the film, has defeated the hero and is about to finish him off when Inspector Luk catches up and aims her gun at him. He starts advancing on her, bobbing and weaving, hands moving like they can parry bullets, and when her first few shots miss, it seems that martial arts will beat guns. Then three later shots connect, killing him, showing that no, they don't.

* In ''[[Ghost Tricks]]'', making a hard hat hit a guy in the face with the force of a moving bullet leads to [[Nonstandard Game Over|exactly what you think will happen happening]]. {{spoiler|Also, if you trick an item in front of Yomiel, he will notice and respond.}}
* This ends up happening in ''[[We Happy Few (video game)|We Happy Few]]''. While it is understandable that the town would want to be happy given what they went through in the past, they ended up designing a drug that caused people to take happiness for granted. So it’s only a matter of time before the whole town begins to fall apart. And it’s unfortunately too late to fix things, since the joy drug has a rebound effect that results in depression.
* ''[[Red Dead Redemption]]'': By lategame, John has brought down his old gang and won multiple scraps with superior forces. Then Edgar Ross decides that [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]] and brings the army to his front door and quickly proves that even if you're a major league [[Badass]], you aren't winning this kind of stand-up fight.
