== Anime & Manga ==
* In the ''[[Ghost in
* In the second episode of ''[[Dominion Tank Police]]'', the police Chief attempts to arrest Buaku when Anipuna and the Gang click hello him. The gang are then click hello'ed by the Red Commandos who are, of course, click hello'ed by Britain and the rest of the tank police.
* ''[[
* In the [[Lupin III]] movie ''Dead or Alive'', Lupin and co manage to kidnap a princess, who's actually a government agent in disguise. Lupin discovers this when he's interruped mid-sentence by a pistol pressing into the back of his head.
* Sōsuke from ''[[Full Metal Panic]]!'' has a habit of doing this to people. ''Especially'' people whom he randomly deems as being "suspicious".
Line 35:
** ''End of Evangelion'' had one as well: after installing the Type-666 firewall, the next time we see Ritsuko she's sitting next to Lilith, in plain sight. Then she stands up, calmly turns around, pulls a gun and aims at Gendo. Instead of cocking it however, she merely takes off the safety. Subverted because she had no intention of shooting, what with her having the MAGI's self-destruct button in her other hand.<ref>And then played straight as it turns out said button was overriden by CASPAR.</ref>
** The ''Down by the Riverside'' fanfic has a similar scene: Misato is holding the OC at gunpoint... then Gendo puts a gun to Misato's head from behind.
* In an ''[[
* ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' episode "Gateway Shuffle". Spike does this to "Twinkle" Maria Murdock, the female leader of the Space Warriors terrorist group.
Line 49:
* ''[[Tango and Cash]]'': Done twice in one scene where Cash is investigating Requin's house. Requin gets the drop on Cash, but immediately after Requin utters a one-liner, Tango gets the drop on him.
* Done quite well in the movie ''[[The Matrix]]'' by Trinity. ("[[Verb This|Dodge this]].")
* Used twice in one scene in in ''[[

'''James Bond:''' Lucky me.<br />
Line 60:
** Presumably he couldn't psychologically resist the extra bit of drama. Clarice, [[Sanity Has Advantages|not being batshit insane]], was more practical as well as more professional, since she's a (mostly) trained law enforcement officer, while Gumb has no military or law enforcement training we know of.
*** It's stated in the book that Gumb does this to scare his victims, who know what's about to happen next. Of course, all his previous victims weren't armed.
* It's not quite a Click Hello, but Keifer Sutherland's character in ''[[Phone Booth (
* Angelina Jolie makes a Click Hello entrance to save Wesley in ''[[Wanted]]''.
* In ''[[Sudden Impact]]'', an armed man is sneaking up on Dirty Harry who is doing target practice, because of several threats on his life. As the man almost reaches him, Harry spins around, cocking the gun, then recognizing the man and saying "Horace!" (the man is Harry's partner).
Line 69:
* In ''[[Face Off]]'', there's a series of Click Hello s with several people all pointing guns at each other in a church. Castor hoots, [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7P--C-t60lI "Woo wee! What a predicament!"]
* Used in an interesting way in ''[[Push]]''. Nick walks up to [[Big Bad|Carver]] and [[The Dragon|Victor]] at a restaurant seemingly unarmed, but then telekinetically lowers two handguns from above them and holds them against their heads.
* In ''[[RoboCop
* Kenneth Branagh manages to get one of these in to his version of [[Hamlet]]. ''Hamlet.''
* In the Chuck Norris film ''Code of Silence'', two street thugs attempt to rob a bar where Cusak and his fellow cops hang out, resulting in everyone but the bartender drawing down on the two thugs.
* In the cult classic ''[[
{{quote| '''Ramirez''': "Crude and slow clansman, your attack was no better then that of a clumsy child."}}
* In ''The Outlaw Josey Wales'', this is done twice. First, when Clint Eastwood pulls a "click hello" on Chief Dan George; and later, when Dan George returns the favor, an Indian girl Eastwood freed pulls her own "click hello" on Chief Dan George (again):
Line 80:
'''Wales''': Only an Indian could do something like that.<br />
[''Lone Watie hears a gun cock behind him; turns and sees Moonlight''] }}
* In ''[[
** Course, McClane neglected to mention that he made sure the gun he handed to Gruber was not loaded.
* Done by none other than [[Samuel L. Jackson|Samuel. L. Motherfucking. Jackson.]] in ''[[The Long Kiss Goodnight]]''. Of course, the heroine is quick to point out that she didn't need his help and he had probably scared off the other headhunters and ruined her plans.
** Also done ''to'' him in the same film, with an appropriately cool one-liner.

Line 95:
== Live Action TV ==
* There are quite a few of these, often subverted, in ''[[
** In "The Message", Jayne uses this as a distraction. Which is a subversion in itself, when you think about it. He had a pistol already out, cocked and ready to fire in his right hand, and with his left he did a [[Dramatic Gun Cock]] with a second gun, with the sole purpose of drawing the other character's attention.
** Jayne also averts this trope throughout the show, and in [[Serenity
{{quote| '''Mal:''' ''(calls down the stairs)'' Listen up. We're coming down to empty that vault.<br />
'''Guard's voice from the vault:''' You'll have to give me your authorization password.<br />
'''Jayne:''' ''(pulls his gun, fires a burst down the stairs)''<br />
'''Guard's voice from the vault:''' ...okay! }}
* One episode of ''[[
** Another, "The Hot Line", in which the Chief goes undercover as a singing waiter, has a series of Click Hello reversals while the Chief is ''onstage'', resulting in an impromptu choral number of seven people in a Click Hello Chain. While remaining on-key, on-tempo, and smiling. We just don't get that kind of professionalism and showmanship in our secret agents anymore...
* Done at its most [[Badass]] in ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]''. Thompson gets the drop on Matt Parkman this way and taunt his [[Psychic Powers|telepathy]] by saying, "What am I thinking, Parkman?". Then [[Badass Normal|Mr. Bennet]] gets the drop on ''Thompson'' by doing this and answers for Matt by saying "Your last thought." And shoots him.
* The original ''[[Star Trek:
* Another use of this trope comes courtesy in the ''[[Star Trek:
** ''[[Star Trek:
* ''[[Deep Space Nine]]'' has a pretty good Decloak-Hello with Worf's appearance with the cavalry at the First Battle of Deep Space 9.
* More like a Bzzzt Hello: In a fifth-season episode of ''[[

Line 120:
* ''[[The Wire]]'': Omar Little announces his presence this way to a couple of guards distracted by [[Dirty Harriet|one of his team-mates undercover as a cheap prostitute]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0Y6DYQ0_w8 pulling off the heist against the New Day Co-op].
* In the Al Capone/Jesse James episode of [[Deadliest Warrior]], {{spoiler|Capone is beating the crap out of Jesse, about to go for the coup de grace...when the infamous click of a Winchester rifle loading is heard from the door to the room. Capone looks up...BOOMHeadshot.}}
* On the episode of ''[[
* ''[[
** Hotch and Morgan are facing down an angry mob trying to kill their UnSub.
{{quote| '''Angry Guy''': You're outnumbered. Who do you think has the higher ground?<br />
'''Rossi''': *click* That would be us. }}
** In the season seven finale, this is how JJ greets the UnSub who [[Mama Bear|threatened her son]]. Long story short, [[Beware the Nice Ones|it didn't]] [[Berserk Button|end well]] [[Unstoppable Rage|for the UnSub]].
* ''[[
* Of all the [[Damn Its Good To Be A Gangster|gangsters]], [[Badass|badasses]], and [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|Bitches in Sheep's Clothing]] hanging around ''[[Boardwalk Empire]]'', it's [[Token Wholesome]] Margaret Schroeder who pulls a [[Click Hello]] on {{spoiler|Eli, who's trying to strangle Nucky}}. With a ''shotgun''.
Line 132:
* Veger pulls one of these near the end of the third ''[[Jak and Daxter]]'' game, though in a variation, it's not a click that announces his presence, it's him telling Jak to "Stand aside!"
* {{spoiler|Detective Badd}} pulls one of these in ''[[Ace Attorney Investigations]]'' against {{spoiler|Shih-na/Callisto Yew}}, who is holding {{spoiler|Kay Faraday}} at gunpoint.
* Happens in a cutscene of ''[[Star Wars]]: [[Star Wars: Dark Forces
{{quote| '''Kyle:''' Leaving so soon? (Shoots off 88's arm)}}

* ''[[Goblin Hollow]]'' [http://www.rhjunior.com/GH/00183.html here].
* Schlock from ''[[
* Bangladesh Dupree [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20061220 pulls one of these on Ardsley Wooster] just as he's about to [[Shoot the Dog]]. [[Offhand Backhand|He gets his revenge a few pages later.]]
Line 149:
== Western Animation ==
* Spoofed in ''[[Drawn Together]]'', "The One Wherein There Is A Big Twist": Toot points a gun at Captain Hero. Clara points a gun at Toot. Xandir points a gun at Clara. Spanky says, "Nobody holds a gun on my girl... but me!" and points a gun at Clara, too. Wooldoor suddenly develops lots of extra arms that allow him to point a plethora of guns at everyone, including himself, and the whole thing degenerates into a [[Mexican Standoff]].
* Used in the episode "Almost Got 'Im" of ''[[Batman:
* In the animated version of the ''[[Lucky Luke]]'' episode "Tenderfoot", there is a whole string of these. In order: Lucky Luke points a gun at [[Big Bad|Jack Grabbit]], a henchman points at Lucky Luke, Sam points at the henchman, the barkeep points at Sam, the butler points at the barkeep, and finally Rantanplan (who thinks it's a game) points his cold nose at the butler. Then they all drop their weapons and engage in a [[Big Ball of Violence]].
