* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctoZbeD-GlY This] [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|disturbing]] [[Mind Screw]] ad raising awareness for domestic violence, featuring Keira Knightley.

* The finale of ''[[The Hills]]'' has this sort of ending.
** As does the last scene of ''Full Frontal'', directed by [[Steven Soderbergh]].
* ''[[The Big O]]''.
