Nice Job Breaking It, Hero/Film: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Speed (Film)|Speed]]'', while under the bus in a failed attempt to disarm the bomb, Jack has to punch a hole in the bus's gas tank with his screwdriver as a makeshift grip to keep himself off the ground to avoid being run over when his cart breaks. By causing the leak, Jack has now significantly cut down the time he and the LAPD have in trying to find a solution to end the crisis. When he informs driver Annie about it once safely in the bus, she replies in a panic, "What, did you feel like you needed another challenge?!"

** Also, when the injured driver is being evacuated, the police on the flatbed try to get an old woman on the bus to come too, despite warnings from the bomber that he won't allow it. She {{spoiler|tries to leave, but a bomb is triggered beneath her feet, dropping her under the wheels of the bus.}}

* Just about every protagonist from the ''[[Saw]]'' films (with the exception of ''Saw'', ''Saw VI'', and arguably, ''Saw II'') suffers from this, the worst case being Matt Gibson from ''Saw 3D''.

* In the ''[[Star Wars]]'' prequels, the Republic winning the Clone War was an [[Evil Plan]] made of a series of Nice Job Breaking It Heroes that no one even ''realized'' were such. i.e. Anakin Skywalker leading the counterattack against the Confederacy fleet and freeing the captured Chancellor Palpatine was orchestrated specifically so he could defeat Darth Tyranus and murder him. It might be seen as necessary -- even a handless Sith Lord would be able to escape all but the most secure prisons while awaiting a war crimes or treason trial -- but the fact remains that Anakin killed a badly injured and (at the time) helpless old man because someone told him to.
