* When the Dude and Walter go to scatter {{spoiler|Donny}}'s ashes in the ocean in ''[[The Big Lebowski]]'', after a fairly-touching - although full of unnecessary references to [[The Vietnam War]] - speech from Walter, he scatters the ashes, but the wind is blowing the wrong way, and the Dude ends up covered.

* In ''Revenge of [[The Pink Panther]]'', most of the world believes that Chief Inspector Clouseau has been killed, including his old supervisor Dreyfus, who had been committed to an asylum because of his murderous hatred for Clouseau.
