Note that while [[Bullet Time]] is often used to depict [[Super Reflexes]], the two are '''not''' the same -- the former is a visual depiction for the latter, not a synonym. Depiction of [[Bullet Time]] contained in imitative works, should only be considered authentic if the effect is shown as being an element of the given environment's physics (i.e., the environment does actually slow down, at least for the individual experiencing it, with other distortions of physics, such as a limited absence/control of gravity as a consequence) rather than being purely visual/aesthetic in nature. As a result, this should not be considered the same thing as conventional slow motion.

* ''[[Shrek]]''. Hilarious parody of ''[[The Matrix]]'', as Princess Fiona 'goes Trinity' on [[Robin Hood]] and His Merry Men, complete with the rotating camera angle - and a mid-air pause while she fixes her hair.
* Parodied in the second [[Madagascar]] as well, when Alex does his zoo shtick for the stranded New Yorkers, he performs a slow-motion leap, only for one of the people, who are all still moving normally ask, "how does he DO that?"
* ''[[Film/Tangled|Tangled]]''. Rapunzel swings away from the ledge at the dam, and Maximus lunges to catch her hair with his teeth. The score makes it clear that this is a [[Shout

Line 178:
* Two instances in the climax of ''[[Bionicle]] 3: Web of Whadows'': the first when Nuju flips around a string of Visorak web, causing two Visorak to collide underneath him; and later when Vakama blasts Matau with a spinner. As the camera angle changes, it becomes obvious Matau is a [[Special Effect Failure|flat, 2D animated image]].
* Parodied a few times in ''Kerwhizz'' with the characters reacting in normal time while their racing pods are in ultra-slow motion.
* In ''[[Thundercats 2011 (Western Animation)|ThunderCats (2011)]]'', [[Rascally Rabbit]] the Drifter has this as a ''secondary power'' of his [[Wuxia]]-level [[Not Quite Flight]] and [[Super Reflexes]]. His lightness and ability to drift on windcurrents makes him appear able to effortlessly [[Overcrank]] ''himself,'' which he demonstrates by performing a flying [[No, I Am Behind You]] in apparent slow-mo while actually [[I Shall Taunt You|chatting]] in real time.

* When programming in some languages - typically in lower-level languages (as in closer to the bits and bytes of machine language) - it is possible to make multitasking more efficient with [
* Rumor has it that when we humans get ourselves into an extremely dangerous situation, our mind projects the illusion that everything has slowed down so that we have time to think.
