* ''[[TMNT|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze]]'' features not a double take, but a triple take when Keno notices the Turtles running up behind him.
* In ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'', when Han Solo instructs C-3PO what to say to the Ewoks, and keeps pulling him back for new orders, finishing with "Hurry up, will ya? Haven't got all day!" the droid responds with a double take.
* As the French king of physical comedy, [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_de_Fun:Louis de Fun%C3%A8s |Louis de Funès]]' Double Takes were nothing short of epic.
** A good one in ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067108/ Delusions of Grandeur]'', when Don Saluste guides the king of Spain to the bedroom where they expect to surprise the queen with her lover... only to find her old gouvernante, Doña Juana, in the arms of Blaze the valet. Saluste double-takes, closes the door hastily and starts speaking gibberish out of shock.
* [[The Three Stooges]], fairly constantly.
Line 69:
'''Zone:''' She's a tech-head. Mag. ... She's a ''girl'', Mag! }}
* While it ''may'' have happened at some point in ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]'' (with five different shows and nearly a dozen movies, ''you'' check them all to see one), there was definitely one from its creator, Gene Roddenberry. He married Majel Barrett, who had been removed from her role as Number One due to [[Executive Meddling]] (this was just after "The Cage" had been shot). Barrett, in order to get back ''on'' the show (albeit in a different role) dyed her hair, and was talking to a producer or someone when Roddenberry walked through, said hi, began walking out, and double-took.
* In one "Superheroes" skit on ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway? (TV)|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'', Ryan was [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|Double-Take Boy]].
* One of Harry Enfield's sketch shows featured recurring characters "The Double-Take Brothers", a pair of gormless unobservant idiots who react this way to ''everything''.
* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]''
** "Time Crash/Last of the Time Lords". A huge ship has just crashed through the TARDIS, knocking the Doctor off his feet. He says, "What?", then takes another look and goes, "What?!", and when he sees the name of the ship {{spoiler|(''SS Titanic'')}}, he has to look at it twice before saying "[[Flat What|What.]]"
** For the [[The Nth Doctor|eleventh Doctor]], during the episode [[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S31 E12 The Pandorica Opens|"The Pandorica Opens"]] the Doctor {{spoiler|is talking with Rory, who was erased from existence a couple episodes ago, about missing something important. He walks away before coming back with the following:}}
{{quote| '''Doctor:''' {{spoiler|Rory, I'm not trying to be rude, but... you died.}}}}
* In the ''[[Supernatural (TV)|Supernatural]]'' episode "Hammer of the Gods," the brothers are in a creepy (4 star) hotel, and Dean walks around with his EMF detector, trying to pinpoint their [[Monster of the Week]]. As he walks down the hallway, he passes an open door, with an elephant in the room. He takes two more steps, looks up from his EMF detector, takes two steps back, and the elephant is gone, replaced by a fat black man. Dean walks away, extremely nonplussed.
Line 88:
{{quote| '''Chip:''' Well, goodbye, Miss Schmeeler.<br />
'''Lucy:''' [[Goodbye Mr. Chips|Goodbye, Mr. Chips]]. }}
* Mortimer does a big one in ''[[Arsenic and Old Lace]]'' after [[Dead MansMan's Chest|discovering there's a dead body in the window-seat]].
