Line 13:
** In addition to the more obvious Darth Vader, General Grevous has a rather nasty sounding hacking cough from when Mace Windu made his chest ''implode''.
** Almost any parody of Vader, including the ones done by ''[[Family Guy]]'' and ''[[South Park]],'' must include Vader Breath. Conversely, if a character on a show such as these suddenly develops [[Vader Breath]], it ''becomes'' a parody of Vader.
** Parodied in ''[[
{{quote| "I can't breathe in this thing!"}}
*** And the [[Rule of Funny]] helps cover the fact that, as stated above, Vader can't breathe OUTSIDE of his suit.

* In ''[[Phantom of the Paradise]],'' Winslow Leach has a freak accident with a record press, severely deforming his face and damaging his vocal chords. He later sneaks into the Paradise, with his own laboured breathing imposed over the soundtrack- predating the Trope Namer, by the way.

* In ''[[The Grudge]] 3'', {{spoiler|Naoko}} makes raspy, gurgling breathing noises after she becomes a [[Stringy Haired Ghost Girl]], thanks to being {{spoiler|stabbed through the throat}}.
* The gas-mask wearing slasher in ''[[My Bloody Valentine (
* Non-villainous (but still damn creepy) example: the astronauts' heavy breathing in their spacesuits in ''[[
* Done for laughs in ''[[The Graduate]]'', when Benjamin's demonstrating the scuba outfit his parents gave him.
* In ''[[When a Stranger Calls]]'', many of the phone calls made by the titular Stranger consist of his creepy, heavy breathing.
* The thing that haunts Lucie in ''[[
* The opening scene of Ian McKellen's ''[[William Shakespeare|Richard III]]'' has the title character leading gasmasked commandos in a raid on the previous King's headquarters. Once the tank smashes through the wall the gun battle is muffled, with the main sound being Richard's breathing through his gas mask up until the moment when he shoots the king.
* [[Cillian Murphy|Rippner]] in ''[[Red Eye (
* Vega in ''[[Street Fighter:
* The appropriately-named Wheezy Joe in ''[[Intolerable Cruelty]]''.
* One of the casualties in ''[[Dog Soldiers]]'' realized that there was a werewolf behind him {{spoiler|in the back seat of the truck}} due to its heavy breathing, then had his suspicions confirmed when a rush of exhaled vapors flowed past his shoulder. Oh, and also when it ripped him to shreds.

* Cheney's cough is played up in [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-november-3-2008/indecision-2008---last-day this] clip on ''[[The Daily Show]]''. Part of their running riff on the evil of the former vice president.

Line 98:
* Gol in ''[[Jak and Daxter]]'' wheezes constantly for no apparent reason. It may be an effect of his Dark Eco corruption, but none of the other corrupted characters in the series have any noticable breathing difficulty, including Gol's sister.
** Gol has parts of his body [[Artificial Limbs|replaced with precursor technology,]] so it's probably either a result of the tech itself, or whatever injury caused him to lose those parts of himself in the first place.
* Inner Lavos, the second form of the final boss in ''[[
* Dark Star in ''[[No More Heroes]]'', among other ''[[Star Wars]]'' references.
* In ''[[Prince of Persia]]: The Sands of Time'', the Vizier's bloody cough is probably for this purpose, underlining his evilness. It's not the [[Incurable Cough of Death]], since he, well, doesn't die of it.
Line 107:
* The Pyromaniacs from ''[[Sacrifice]]''. Their unit quotes are also filled to the brim with Darth Vader and Lord Helmet [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]].

Line 114:
* In ''[[Metro 2033]]'', you breathe very loudly when you put your [[Gas Mask Mooks|gas mask]] on, and when your filter starts to fail, you start wheezing (while looking at your lens fog up).
* Q from ''[[Street Fighter]] III''. Idling makes him do Vader Breath, and the rest of his voicework is [[Voice Grunting]].
* The Vores from ''[[Quake (
* One of the sound effects in ''[[Fate/stay
* In ''Darkfall: Lost Souls'', the Inspector whom you play has emphysema, and starts breathing hard if you climb steps or ladders, or stay in one place outside in the cold for long. The opening segment of the game consists of a black screen, and the sound of his increasingly-desperate attempts to draw air into what's left of his lungs.
* ''[[Wolfenstein (
* [[Runescape]] has Mi-Gor, a small zombie wearing a gas mask. The breath is not actually heard, just described in the dialogue lines as *wheeze* before every line, and before that, "as if someone is trying to talk with his throat full of mud".
* [[Fallout: New Vegas]] DLC Dead Money has the Ghost People, all of whom have wheezy, raspy, ''loud'' breath. The loud breathing is the best way to tell when they're sneaking up on you. Serves as [[Paranoia Fuel]] when you can't see them, but you can hear them breathing.
