Line 25:
* In ''[[Zulu]]'', spear-wielding Zulu warriors charge straight into the British camp's guns... only to stand and chant while the British cut them down. Then they leave. "He's counting your guns, testing your firepower with the lives of his warriors". "60! We got at least 60 wouldn't you say?" "That leaves only 3,940."
* The ''Compsognathus'' from ''The Lost World: [[Jurassic Park]]'' entered the ensemble of [[Stock Dinosaurs]] because of their insistent use of this trope. [[Somewhere a Palaeontologist Is Crying|Not that the filmmakers really cared about how accurate (or not) that behavior really was.]]
* This is how the title insects of ''[[Film/Antz|Antz]]'' storm the termite colony. It partially backfires, as all the termites are killed, but the only ant to survive was the one who barely did any fighting at all.
** It plays with the trope, however, in that this is what is supposed to happen. As it turns out, all the soldiers involved were loyal to the Queen instead of the head Soldier ant, which was supposed to leave him free to carry out his plan.
* In ''[[A Bug's Life|A Bugs Life]]'', [[Big Bad|Hopper]] makes it clear to his soldiers early on that they have to keep the ants' morale low, because the ants outnumber the grasshoppers a hundred to one. A rare case in which the good guys use this tactic.
