* In ''[[The Fifth Element]]'', Zorg apparently has all of his men (or all public phones) wired with explosives, and, in one scene, where a minion fails to impersonate the heroes, he types in the code to blow him up (with just barely contained rage) just as the heroes get away, not even knowing the mook had been there.

* In ''[[Sholay]]'', Gabbar plays a variation of [[Russian Roulette]] with 3 of his mooks because they were defeated by the heroes. He fires away 3 bullets off a loaded six shooter and spins the cylinder. He pulls the trigger on each of the 3 mooks, and extraordinarily all 3 survive the game. After [[Evil Laugh|laughing evilly]] he shoots all 3 of them. [[For the Evulz|Because he could]].
