* A particularly egregious example is in ''[[Die Hard]] 3''. Hero John McClane ([[Bruce Willis (Creator)]]) gives his reluctant ally Zeus ([[Samuel L. Jackson]]) a submachine gun lifted from a fallen mook to defend himself as they search the bad guys' boat, even giving him a short primer on how to use the gun. Zeus later comes upon [[Big Bad]] Simon Gruber (Jeremy Irons) and holds him at gunpoint; Simon takes the gun away, casually notes (of course) he's got the safety on, flips off the safety and shoots him.
* In the beginning of ''[[The Fifth Element]]'', Korben is confronted by a crazed robber with a rather nasty-looking gun. Korben informs him that the safety's on, but is even helpful enough to point it out to him and give him a chance to flip the switch. Cue the subversion, as the poor dumb criminal has just ''de''activated the gun, and Corben pulls his own weapon on him and takes it.
** It helps that the guy is obviously a drug addict in desperate need of a fix. His hands were visibly shaking, as Korben immediately noticed.
