Line 71:
* In the B-Movie "[[The Horror of Party Beach]]", the lead female Elaine, SCRATCHES HER LEG ON A ROCK, and begins moaning loudly in pain. Well, she moans, anyway; she doesn't moan like she's in pain.
* When ''[[Red Sonja (Film)|Red Sonja]]'' accuses the evil queen Gedren of slaughtering Sonja's family, the regal bitch dismisses the accusations as the victims' lives are nothing in compare with a minor scar on her cheek.
* In ''[[Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves]]'', Robin's first encounter with the Sheriff of Nottingham ends with the former cutting the latter's cheek for no other reason then to piss him off (oh, and to exert the first portion of vengeance for murdering his father, perhaps). Sheriff is (in)appropriately enraged, and utters the famous threat to [[Cut His Heart Out With a Spoon]].
* ''[[Dodgeball]]'': "Nobody makes me bleed my own blood!"
* During the raid on Mathilda's home in ''[[The Professional]],'' Mathilda's father manages to shoot [[Psycho for Hire|Norman Stansfield]] in the shoulder. Stansfield is pretty subdued about this until he has the time to notice the damage done to his suit, whereupon he follows the injured suspect through the apartment, shooting him in the back. He does this until he's out of ammunition... and then ''starts to reload so he can continue shooting the guy's corpse.''

* [[Older Than Feudalism]]: In ''[[The Iliad (Literature)|The Iliad]]'', Aphrodite gets cut by Diomedes. As a goddess, she cannot die, but she's completely unaccustomed to pain, causing her to run screaming to her brother Ares and plead with him to teach Diomedes a lesson. With the aid of Athena, Diomedes cuts Ares as well, and he has the same reaction, literally running home to cry to this mama.
* In [[Gordon Korman]]'s ''The Zucchini Warriors'', one of the [[Macdonald Hall]] football players (who has ironically given himself the nickname The Beast) gets a bruised elbow. He then insists that it's actually a compound fracture and walks around with his arm in a sling for nine weeks.
