Line 17:
** He uses another slight variation against the plane's pilot:
{{quote| '''Cyrus the Virus''': And if you say a word about this over the radio, the next wings you see will belong to the flies buzzing over your rotting corpse.}}
* In ''[[King Arthur (Filmfilm)|King Arthur]]''. Arthur says to the [[Big Bad]] "Remember my face. It will be the last thing you see on this Earth".
* Variation in ''[[Avatar (Filmfilm)|Avatar]]'': The Na'vi refer to their world's flying apex predator as "Last Shadow".
* ''[[Taken (Filmfilm)|Taken]]'': "If you don't get me what I need, the last thing you'll see before I make your children orphans is the bullet I put between her eyes."
* Played with in ''[[Smokin Aces]]''. One of the assassins kills {{spoiler|the casino's chief of security}}, but goes out of his way to kill him painlessly, and comforts him in his dying moments. He tells him to close his eyes so that his face won't be the last thing the guy will ever see, because ([[Gratuitous Spanish|switching to Spanish]]) "Heaven may hold it against you". This compassion is greatly ironic, considering that the assassin in question is known for being a ruthless torturer.
* Used in the film of the Biblical story of Samson, when his eyes are put out.
Line 25:
== [[Live Action Television]] ==
* Hilariously defied in ''[[Firefly]]''. [[The Dragon]] is threatening Mal as Mal attempts to explain the (pretty reasonable) terms on which he wants to cancel the crew's deal with the [[Big Bad]]. Around the time the guy gets to "...and the last thing you will see is my blade," Mal rolls his eyes, utters a short "Darn," and then kicks him [[Turbine Blender|right into the intake of Serenity's engine]]. ''[[Written Sound Effect|Schplercht!]]'' The next guy ''immediately'' agrees to Mal's terms.
* [[Babylon Five5|"I am Death Incarnate, and the last living thing you are ever gonna see! God sent me."]]
* In the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode "The Gift," Buffy states that if the plan fails and the world ends, the last thing Dawn will see will be Buffy protecting her.
* In the ''[[Lost]]'' season 4 finale, Michael tells Desmond and Jin that {{spoiler|if the bomb is triggered and they haven't frozen the battery yet, the red light will be the last thing they ever see.}}
Line 38:
 
== [[Theme Parks]] ==
* In the pre-show of ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]] Ride'' at [[Universal Studios]], Sideshow Bob says this, stating it will be a brief safety instruction video. Screams from the Simpsons immediately follow.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 47:
* [[Duke Nukem]] 3D: "The last thing to slip through your mind before you die... will be my number 12 boot."
** Then, upon defeating him, he kicks the [[Big Bad]]'s [[Eye Scream|one eye out of his head]].
* Played with in [[Fallout: New Vegas]] - The motto of the NCR 1st Recon is: "The last thing you never see".
{{quote| '''Boone:''' Pretty accurate, and so were we.}}
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In ''[[Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker]]'', Joker tells Batman that "the last thing you will ever hear is the sound of our laughter" and proceeds to do so. He is then hoisted on his own petard.
** And in ''[[The Batman (Animation)|The Batman]]'':
{{quote| '''Joker''': Clayface! Just the do-gooder I was hoping to see!<br />
'''Clayface''': I'll be the last do-gooder you'll ''ever'' see! }}
* [[Jackie Chan Adventures (Animation)|I am Hak Foo, the last human you will ever lay eyes upon.]]
* ''[[Spider-Man: theThe Animated Series]]'' proves that it doesn't work against [[You Fight Like a Cow]]:
{{quote| '''Spider-Man:''' "Did you say 'Hydrant-Man?' The dogs must love you!"<br />
'''Hydro-Man:''' "It's Hydro-Man! And it's the last name you'll ever hear."<br />
