Line 80:
* Most of the troops in ''[[Red Cliff]]'' wear various forms of armor which provide no protection whatsoever. Master Archers who (because this is a [[John Woo]] film) can [[Improbable Aiming Skills|bullseye any target they can see]] shoot enemy troops right through their breast plates, not even bothering to aim a few inches higher to hit exposed necks. The senior generals frequently cut off limbs with a single stroke, not even slowed down by the heavy metal armor their targets are wearing.
* In ''[[Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within]]'', the soldiers wear all of this heavy armor that does nothing to protect them from Phantoms.
* In ''[[Battle: Los Angeles]]'', the Marines' armor is ineffective at stopping the aliens' weapons, as the incendiary rounds they have
* In ''[[Only the Brave (2017 film)|Only the Brave]]'', {{spoiler|the Granite Mountain Hotshots attempt to use their fire shelters to ride out the Yarnell Hill Fire. Said wildfire burns so much hotter (2000 degrees Celsius compared to fire shelters rated only for 500) that they die anyway.}}
* Averted in ''[[John Wick]]''. John and several other characters get bulletproof suits that their opponents need to aim for exposed areas against. High Table [[Heavily Armored Mook]]s wear full-body SWAT-style tactical gear that is bulletproof everywhere and John either has to grapple them to expose weakpoints or use special [[Armor-Piercing Attack]]s in order to kill.
