* Lando in ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'' turns over Han to the Empire under extreme duress (the threatened occupation of Cloud City) and turns on them after Vader [[Moving the Goalposts|alters the deal]].
{{quote|'''Chewbacca''': (strangles Lando)
'''Lando''': [[Crowning Moment of Funny|I...had...no...choice!]]
'''Leia''': [[Sarcasm Mode|Oh, we understand him, don't we Chewie? "He had no choice!"]] }}
* ''[[The Insider]]'' is all about this.
* In ''[[Bullitt]]'', Johnny Ross, a Chicago mobster who agrees to testify against the Mafia. Naturally, the Mafia wants him dead for this—and for the money Johnny stole from them.
* In ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 3'', Chatter Phone was the Lacerated Larry type: he ended up confessing to Lotso and his minions about Woody and the others escaping from Sunnyside from what was implied to be torture.
* The film version of Order of the Phoenix made Cho Chang into a Lacerated Larry. Dumbledore's Army was initially angered at her betrayal, but then it is revealed that the only reason she squealed was because Umbridge fed her a drink laced with Veritaserum, thus literally leaving Cho with no choice but to spit out the existence of Dumbledore's Army.
* The admiral in the 2009 [[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]] movie also ended up a squealer to the Romulans, specifically as a Lacerated Larry, because after he left the ship, they interrogated him and implanted a bug into his system that forces him to reveal everything he knows about Starfleet Academy.
