* Josh Dalton from ''[[Insidious]]'' definitely qualifies. Not only does he spend most of the movie as the [[Agent Scully]], arguing with his [[Genre Savvy]] wife, when he finally does accept the weirdness and go into the Further to save his son, he breaks every rule he was told to follow, culminating in him stopping ''ten feet'' from his body to yell at a ghost that's been stalking him since childhood ''to possess him specifically''. The ghost, of course, possesses his body, resulting in the deaths of his family and every other character in the film. And Josh is likely stuck with a [[Fate Worse Than Death]]. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]. |

* Quite a few characters in the film adaptation of ''[[Battle Royale]]''. Toshinori Oda probably takes the cake for surviving a burst of gunfire due to his bulletproof vest, then jumping up a few seconds later and loudly proclaiming "I'm alive!" |

* In an opening scene of ''[[The Karate Kid|The Karate Kid II]]'', [[Evil Teacher| Kreese]] tries to punch [[Old Master| Mr. Miyagi]], who is standing in front of a car; [[Deadly Dodging| Miyagi simply moves aside]], and Kreese puts his fist through the car's window, badly cutting up his hand. ([[Soft Glass]] clearly not in effect.) Kreese doesn't know when to quit, and tries to punch him again, and ends up doing the same to his ''other'' hand! And to make it worse, he is still regretting his dumb move more than three decades later, as when he appears in ''[[Cobra Kai]]'', his hands are still badly scarred. |
