Line 25:
* ''[[Street Fighter (film)|Street Fighter]]'', [[Large Ham|M. Bison]] has Chun Li locked in his private quarters, with her hands tied together. Bison goes at length taunting Chun Li with how he has separated her from her two Bruisers, and how [[Tempting Fate|she is now helpless.]]
{{quote|'''''Chun Li''': [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|That's exactly what I wanted you to think.]] '''YA-TAI!''' *[[Breaking the Bonds|snaps wrist bonds]] and kicks Bison out of his chair*''}}
* In the Japanese live action version of the manga ''[[Hana Yori Dango]]'', the heroine, Makino Tsukushi, delivers a solid punch to the jaw of Domyouji Tsukasa, the spoiled, sadistic BMOC of Eitoku High School and its clique of ultra-rich hot guys, The Flower Four. No one dares to cross the F4 for fear of retaliation, but Tsukushi -- whoTsukushi—who the F4, particularly Domyouji, have been picking on mercilessly for weeks -- refusesweeks—refuses to play the victim anymore and declares war. This could be considered a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], except it happens so early in the story that there is much more awesome to follow!
** In the Korean live action version of the same manga, entitled ''[[Boys Over Flowers]]'', Geum Jan Di, the heroine, opts to deliver a spinning kick to Gu Jun Pyo's face instead of a punch. It is equally made of awesome.
* In ''[[The Shawshank Redemption]]'', Andy Dufresne is often beaten and raped by a group called the Sisters. {{spoiler|When he fights back, the leader says, "[[You Got Spunk|Yes, you fight, I like that!]]", and [[It Got Worse]]. Red says that "I wish I could say that Andy fought the good fight and they left him alone, but life is not a fairy tale".}} What saves Andy isn't his brawn or openly refusing to be a victim, but rather his knowledge and his ability to work with others. {{spoiler|He gains favor with the guards by helping them with taxes and wins the support of other prisoners by getting them beer. The lead guard finds out about the Sisters and [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|beats the hell out of the leader]], leaving him permanently crippled}}. Only then do the Sisters finally leave Andy alone.
Line 37:

* The [[Myth Arc|Cadmus Arc]] in ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' centers around [[The Flash]] -- specifically—specifically, the fact that his death at Luthor's hands is what caused the [[Knight Templar|Justice Lords]] to go over the edge in their [[Alternate Universe]]. When Luthor attempts to reenact this event in the second season finale, Flash takes matters into his own hands, defeating Luthor by {{spoiler|going so fast the sheer energy discharge of collision is enough to destroy Luthor/Brainiac's [[Nigh Invulnerable]] armor piece by piece}}.
