* Vakama does this twice in ''[[Bionicle]]: Legends of Metru Nui''. First is when he sees Lhikan apprehended by the Dark Hunters, followed by [[It's All My Fault]]. Next is a shorter version after he sees a vision of the city being destroyed.
* Done straight by the villain Zeebad in ''Doogal'' as he is pulled back into imprisonment.
* Chuckie bursts into the chapel with one in ''[[Rugrats in Paris]]''. Which just happens to be his first word ever.
* In ''[[Help! I'm a Fish]]'', Chuck lets out one of these when he {{spoiler|thinks Fly is dead.}}

* Two in ''[[Austin Powers]]: International Man of Mystery''.

* Used in ''[[Evil Dead]] 2'', when Ash finds that the only bridge to escape the haunted forest is totally destroyed. "No... Oh, God no... No... NO! NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Of course, that's not the only example in the film.
** Parodied in [[The Musical]]. Ash receives several bits of bad news, and with each bit he runs to a different part of the stage, drops to his knees and screams. The less [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|"bad"]] the news gets, the funnier the scene becomes.
* In many cases, it's the character's final line of the movie (there are even cases where it's ''the'' final line of the movie: here, Wesley Snipes' ''Jungle Fever'', the telefilm ''Christmas Every Day''...).
* Some of the ''[[

** ''[[
* ''[[The Lord of the Rings (
** Gimli has a Big No when he discovers the tomb of Balin, which dissolves into mournful sobbing.
** Frodo also has one that doubles as a [[Slow No]] upon Gandalf's "death".
Line 107:
** Michel (played by Kim Basinger) in the end of that same movie, delievers it when Eddie Jilette moves Losado's shotgun fire to the wall behind her.
* Plays for laughs in ''[[The Burbs]]'', in what may be the film's most famous scene when Art and Ray find a femur bone that they believe belongs to their missing neighbor {{spoiler|in fact, it belongs to one of their ''former'' neighbors}}.
* The ''[[Spider-Man (
** Yelled by Otto Octavius in ''Spider-Man 2'' when he wakes up and finds that his tentacles -- which [[Evil Hand|have a mind of their own]] -- killed all of the doctors who were about to operate on him while he was unconscious.
** The third movie has it when Eddie Brock {{spoiler|sees Spider-Man is throwing a bomb at the Venom symbiote}}.
* ''[[Terminator]] 2'' had the best Big No ever, when Sarah Connor sees the good terminator walk out of the elevator. Not knowing he's good, Sarah falls down, but first has a look of disbelief on her face. Then as she runs the other way, her screams build up in volume until she finally lets out her Big No.
* The ''[[Harry Potter (
** Delivered straight in ''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'' {{spoiler|when Sirius Black falls through the veil in the Department of Mysteries. Harry screams it.}} In a twist (one in very good taste), the scream is given silently, with the score playing over it.
** This after, in the ''Goblet of Fire'' movie, Ralph Fiennes as {{spoiler|Voldemort}} delivers a painfully straight ([[Narm|and unfortunately delivered]]) double threat of Big No and (apparently) [[Skyward Scream]] when Harry got away... again.

* ''[[
* In ''[[Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (
* The infamous 1983 film ''[[The Lonely Lady]]'' seems to think this trope automatically equals brilliant writing. Roger Ebert probably said it best:
{{quote| ''The movie's whole plot hinges on Pia's ability to rewrite a scene better than her jealous writer-husband. When the star of her husband's movie weeps that she can't play a certain graveyard scene, Pia whips out the portable typewriter and writes brilliant new dialogue for the star. What, you may ask, does Pia write? Here's what: She has the grieving widow kneel by the side of the open grave and cry out (are you ready for this?) "Why? Why!!!" That's it. That's the brilliant dialogue. And it can be used for more than death scene, let me tell you. In fact, I walked out of this movie saying to myself, "Why? Why!!!"''}}
* ''[[The Kentucky Fried Movie]]'' has a random CIA mook shout this when the villain has him [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|banished to]]... Detroit. ''''''"NO! NO, NOT DETROIT! NO! NO, PLEASE! ANYTHING BUT THAT!! NO! NO!!"''''''
* ''[[

* The Abbé Coulmier in ''Quills'' achieves a massive Big No, bordering perhaps on Huge status, upon {{spoiler|the Marquis de Sade's suicide}}. The Abbé's No is so big that it in fact incites a chorus of Big Nos from the asylum's inmates, which echoes off the mildewed walls and bathes the watcher in the uncensored vocal epitaph of the Abbé's bitter moral defeat.
* In ''[[Superman (
* In ''[[
* When Art Lean is killed by Goro in the ''[[Mortal Kombat (
* Said by [[Tim Curry|Dr. Frank N Furter]] in ''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'' as he flees from a laser-wielding Riff Raff.

** Judge Griffin does it just before the ABC robot rips his arms and legs off.
Line 156:
* In ''Bridge to Silence'', Marlee Matlin's character both screams and signs her Big No when told that her husband is dead. How to do a Big No in AMSLAN: Using your right hand, make a "bird's bill" with your thumb and pointer and middle fingers. Clap them together rapidly for as long as you want your Big No to last.

* ''Diavolo in Corpo'' a.k.a. ''Devil in the flesh'': Giulia (played by Maruschka Detmers) says this trope after a diary is read to her by someone.
* ''[[Tombstone]]'': Recently pointed out by [[
** Of note: According to witnesses, this actually happened, and this example is more out of defiance than anguish or despair. It's not "No, you killed my [insert relative/acquaintance]!" it's "No, you bastards ain't killing me!"
* ''[[Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy]]'': Ron Burgundy does this when a [[Jack Black|certain man]] punts Ron's dog Baxter over the bridge.
* ''[[
** Turns into a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] when she adds "Where did you get that picture?"
* ''[[The Happening]]'' gives us a Big No courtesy of Mark Wahlberg, who screams it when someone he's known for an hour and a half gets shot.
* In ''[[The Boondock Saints]]'', Connor McManus gets one after {{spoiler|Rocco gets shot and dies}}.
* The [[Jensen Ackles]] flick ''Devour'' has got one in the end.
* Scott in ''[[
* Potentially one of the more ridiculous examples occurs in the horrible ''Sleep Stalker,'' where the goatee-sporting lead character utters one with an ape-like inflection as he does it. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mwxU3mq7Hs&feature=player_detailpage#t=176s It's worth seeing.]
* In the ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]'' movie, Dagny gives a reverberating one when she reaches {{spoiler|the fire at the Wyatt oil fields.}}
Line 181:
* ''[[Undercover Brother]]''. A [[Mook]] does this as Undercover Brother is about to stamp down on him. It then turns out that UB smashed a bag of potato chips instead.
* Kei does this at the end of ''[[Moon Child]]'', when {{spoiler|Sho is dying in his arms}}.
* Done hilariously in ''[[Silent Movie (
** When Mel Brooks called Marcel Marceau to ask him to say the line, he originally pitched it as just "NO!" Marceau replied that he would only do it if it was "NON!" instead. Why? Because it would make more sense for him to say it in French.
* {{spoiler|Caesar}} gives a big one in [[Rise of the Planet of
* In the beginning of [[Muppets
{{quote| '''Gonzo:''' Nooo! Noooo! I don't want to be alone! Nooo!}}

* ''[[Ever After (

* Subverted in ''[[Daredevil]]'' after {{spoiler|Elektra dies}}. It looks like Matt Murdock is winding up for a NOOOOO! but doesn't do it.
