* In the 2007 ''[[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles TMNT]]'' film, Raphael lets out a Big No after [[spoiler:the bad guys have kidnapped Leonardo.]] In the original movie, Donatello, Michaelangelo, and Raphael let one out as the Shredder is about to kill Leonardo.

** ''ReturnOfTheJedi'': A robot screams as his feet are ripped by another machine.
*** Averted with Luke's [[BigNever "NEVER!!"]] right before attacking Vader, when he realizes that Leia is [[spoiler:his sister]], and could potentially be powerful in the dark side of the Force, or something else terrible would happen to her depending on what Vader would have said if Luke hadn't cut his sentence short yelling "NEVER!!"
** ''ThePhantomMenace'': Echoing Luke in ''A New Hope'', Obi-Wan does a BigNo when Darth Maul kills Qui-Gon.
*** Averted in [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0177.html this]] ''{{Darths and Droids}}'' by showing the scene in silence. But [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0179.html when the scene returns]]...
** ''AttackOfTheClones'': Obi-Wan again, when Anakin charges recklessly in to fight Dooku. Also, Yoda hears a BigNo from Qui-Gon's ethereal voice as Anakin slaughters the Tusken Raiders.
** ''RevengeOfTheSith'': Anakin/Vader, upon discovering that Padmé is dead. Darth Vader's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWaLxFIVX1s&feature=related usage of it]] at the end of ''Revenge of the Sith'' was criticized by many fans (and, subsequently, {{meme|ticmutation}}d to death). Some voices just can't handle the Big No, and audiences found out that James Earl Jones' is one of them. [[MemeticMutation Do Not Want]].
*** In fact, because it became so popular, they made sure that their first Vader soundboard had a '''''clean, no-BGM''''' version of it '''[[http://starwars.com/play/online-activities/soundboards/index.html#/?theme=14 here]]'''. '''[[MainstreamObscurity Why doesn't anyone use this?]]'''
*** Parodied in [[http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/darth-tragedy/ this I-Mockery feature]] and then [[http://www.digi-comic.com/?comicId=56 this strip]] of ''Digi-Comic''.
*** {{Darthipedia}} has [[http://darth.wikia.com/wiki/NOOOOOOOOO! a whole page of it]].
* Virgil Brigman lets out a "NOOOOOOOO!" in ''TheAbyss'' [[spoiler: after Lindsey drowns herself so he can tow her back to the rig.]]
* The ''Film/{{Alien}}'' series:
** In ''Aliens'', when Ripley is dreaming that she has been impregnated by a facehugger Alien.
** ''Alien 3'': Bishop's "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" when Ripley [[spoiler: decides to kill herself]].
* Delivered to great comical effect near the end of the ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' movie.
* Two in ''AustinPowers: International Man of Mystery''.
** Parodied when Austin is driving a steamroller toward a guard. The guard has plenty of time to move out of the way--Powers even beckons him to do so--but just keeps screaming "No!" instead and doesn't move a muscle.
** Austin does it just before leaping to push the underground drill's [[BigRedButton abort button]].
* In ''BackToTheFuture'':
** Marty does this when seeing Doc get shot by the Libyan terrorists. However, he adds on by saying "NOOOOOOO! BASTARDS!!!!" [[spoiler: It then turns out at the end that Doc was wearing a bulletproof vest]].
** He does it again (without the "BASTARDS!!!!") in ''Part II'', when he discovers that [[spoiler: Biff Tannen has changed history and married his mother.]]
* Mos Def does it in ''BeKindRewind'' when all of the video cassettes in his store were erased.
* Ator from ''CaveDwellers'' is mocked on ''{{MST3K}}'' for shouting "No!" while helplessly tied to a stick.
* ''Film/{{Constantine}}''. After Constantine makes an ash out of Balthazar, the mysterious BigBad [[spoiler:Gabriel]] appears. After Balthazar asks him to resurrect him, he instead uses a wind to blow him away. He yells "Noooooo!" just before his remains crumble to dust.
* Said by Ralphie in ''AChristmasStory'' when the mall Santa tells Ralphie that he can't give him a Red Ryder [=BB=] Gun because "He'll shoot his eye out" and then kicks him down the slide.
* Harvey Dent yelled it in ''{{The Dark Knight|Saga}}''.
* In ''DeadPoetsSociety'', Neil's father (played by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurtwood_Smith Kurtwood Smith]]) gives an impressive Big No after [[spoiler:finding the dead body of his son]].
* ''TheDevilsAdvocate'': AlPacino screams "NOOOOOOOOOO" when [[spoiler:Kevin shoots himself]]. Great because it's delivered in the [[HamAndCheese understated acting style]] Pacino uses for this type of movie.
* In the ''Film/DungeonsAndDragons'' movie, Riddley Freeborn's "NOOOOOOOOOO!" when Snails dies. The anguished slow-mo scream of the protagonist in the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' movie, upon seeing his {{Sidekick}} [[UncleTomfoolery friend]] Snails stabbed to death (after heroically attacking a villain all by himself), drew involuntary laughter from a movie-going audience at a cinema in Germany. It didn't help that Snails the thief was clearly supposed to be the PluckyComicRelief but [[EthnicScrappy failed miserably]], except at becoming the proof that even in Fantasy, the BlackDudeDiesFirst.
** In American theaters, Snails' death brought applause, something that WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic himself noted, wondering if it was appropriate to celebrate at that moment.
* Used in ''EvilDead 2'', when Ash finds that the only bridge to escape the haunted forest is totally destroyed. "No... Oh, God no... No... NO! NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Of course, that's not the only example in the film.
** Parodied in TheMusical. Ash receives several bits of bad news, and with each bit he runs to a different part of the stage, drops to his knees and screams. The less [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking "bad"]] the news gets, the funnier the scene becomes.
* In many cases, it's the character's final line of the movie (there are even cases where it's ''the'' final line of the movie: here, Wesley Snipes' ''Jungle Fever'', the telefilm ''Christmas Every Day''...).
* Some of the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' movies use the Big No at least once:
** ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'': Decker gives a Big No as Captain Kirk gives the order to Chekov to fire phasers at the asteroid when the Enterprise is trapped in the wormhole. This one only ''sounds'' like a "Big No", but was really elongated by the time-warping effect of the wormhole.
** ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'' has a famous variant: KHAAAANNN!!! KHAAAANNN!!!
** ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'': Captain Picard yells a Big No and smashes the glass cabinet with the models of the past ''Enterprises'' with a phaser rifle after Lily tells him to self-destruct the ''Enterprise'' after the ship is assimilated by the Borg. Lily makes it effective by a subdued reaction that contrasts his scream.
--->'''Lily:''' ''(quietly)'' You broke your little ships. See you around, Ahab.
** ''Film/StarTrekInsurrection'': Ru'afo shrieks it when the Starfleet Admiral tells him to have a private discussion with Picard. Ru'afo wails it again when Picard threatens to ignite the fumes on the collector.
*** Doesn't he also do it when he realises [[spoiler: he's trapped in a holodesk simulation]]?
** ''Film/StarTrekNemesis'': Counsellor Troi screams a Big No when Shinzon invades her mind, the Reman Viceroy yells it when he falls to his death after being kicked by Commander Riker.
* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' films have a whole bunch of them, most of them reasonably done:
** Gimli has a Big No when he discovers the tomb of Balin, which dissolves into mournful sobbing.
** Frodo also has one that doubles as a SlowNo upon Gandalf's "death".
** Aragorn's scream upon thinking Merry and Pippin are dead in the second film (when he kicks the helmet) isn't quite distinct, but seems to be a BigNo. [[RealitySubtext Interestingly]], Viggo Mortensen's tremendous howl of anguish here was actually because when he kicked the helmet, he ''[[EnforcedMethodActing broke his toe]]''. [[ThrowItIn They kept that take in]] because it was, as such, his best.
** Right at the climax of the third film, [[spoiler: when Frodo succumbs to the lure of the One Ring while standing on the edge of the Crack of Doom. It's actually two smaller "no"s, then followed by what might be the biggest "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" ever heard as Frodo puts on the Ring, alerting the Big Bad to his presence.]]
** Another in the third film is screamed twice by Eomer upon the discovery of [[spoiler: his uncle King Theoden dead and his sister Eowyn almost dead on the battlefield.]] Here it is one of the rare effective moments of Big No.
** Treebeard yells a forest-shattering one upon the realization that Saruman has burned the forest of Fangorn.
** Samwise also has one when Frodo gets spotted by Sauron's eye in Mordor.
** Yet another in the third film is Legolas in the final battle [[spoiler: when Aragorn's about to be killed by a troll]]. It's definitely in the extended cut and the [[TrailersAlwaysLie trailers]] at least.
* According to [[http://rinkworks.com/badmovie/m/battlefield.earth.2000.shtml this]], yelling "NOOOOOOO!" is the distinguishing characteristic of the hero from ''BattlefieldEarth''. His first Big No occurs less than two minutes into the movie, after he learns about his father's death.
* ''[[TheMummyTrilogy The Mummy Returns]]'':
** Imhotep, the titular returning mummy, actually slides on his knees into the frame to deliver one (in ancient Egyptian, of course) when the other Big Bad for the film is defeated. To compound it all, he was kinda late, sliding into frame about a second and a half after the stabbing. So blatant, it ''has'' to be some self-aware parody.
** Rick O'Connell delivers a much more believable one earlier in the film when [[spoiler: Evy gets stabbed.]]
** so does Evelyn when it looks like Rick is going to fall into a bottomless pit after [[spoiler: stabbing the Scorpion King]].
* In the 1986 movie ''No Mercy'', Eddie Jilette (played by Richard Gere) threatened to shoot Alan Deveneux's arm off, Alan screamed it at Eddie pleading to not shoot.
** Michel (played by Kim Basinger) in the end of that same movie, delievers it when Eddie Jilette moves Losado's shotgun fire to the wall behind her.
* Plays for laughs in ''TheBurbs'', in what may be the film's most famous scene when Art and Ray find a femur bone that they believe belongs to their missing neighbor [[spoiler: in fact, it belongs to one of their ''former'' neighbors]].
* The ''{{Film/Spider-Man}}'' series:
** Yelled by Otto Octavius in ''Spider-Man 2'' when he wakes up and finds that his tentacles -- which [[EvilHand have a mind of their own]] -- killed all of the doctors who were about to operate on him while he was unconscious.
** The third movie has it when Eddie Brock [[spoiler:sees Spider-Man is throwing a bomb at the Venom symbiote]].
* ''{{Terminator}} 2'' had the best Big No ever, when Sarah Connor sees the good terminator walk out of the elevator. Not knowing he's good, Sarah falls down, but first has a look of disbelief on her face. Then as she runs the other way, her screams build up in volume until she finally lets out her Big No.
* The ''Film/HarryPotter'' movies:
** Delivered straight in ''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'' [[spoiler:when Sirius Black falls through the veil in the Department of Mysteries. Harry screams it.]] In a twist (one in very good taste), the scream is given silently, with the score playing over it.
** This after, in the ''Goblet of Fire'' movie, Ralph Fiennes as [[spoiler: Voldemort]] delivers a painfully straight ([[{{Narm}} and unfortunately delivered]]) double threat of Big No and (apparently) SkywardScream when Harry got away... again.
*** Cedric Diggory's father also does one of these upon realizing what's happened at the end of this film.
** And he does it ''again'' in ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1'' after Harry gets away from him by destroying Lucius Malfoy's wand.
** Ginny does this twice in ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2'' when [[spoiler:she thinks Harry's dead]].
* Parodied in the endings of ''ScaryMovie'' and ''Scary Movie 2''. In the former, as the FinalGirl screams, she is run over by a car. In the latter, the FinalGirl meets the psycho again. She does the Big No, he does a Big Yes... and gets run over by a car.
* ''MerlinsShopOfMysticalWonders'' features a truly glorious NOOOOOOOOO!", complete with slow-motion running towards the camera.
* In ''Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'' there is a Big No issued by the title character after he is informed of his wife's rape. Rather effective due to it blending in with his wife's screams at the end of the musical number/flashback, "Poor Thing".
* The infamous 1983 film ''TheLonelyLady'' seems to think this trope automatically equals brilliant writing. Roger Ebert probably said it best:
-->''The movie's whole plot hinges on Pia's ability to rewrite a scene better than her jealous writer-husband. When the star of her husband's movie weeps that she can't play a certain graveyard scene, Pia whips out the portable typewriter and writes brilliant new dialogue for the star. What, you may ask, does Pia write? Here's what: She has the grieving widow kneel by the side of the open grave and cry out (are you ready for this?) "Why? Why!!!" That's it. That's the brilliant dialogue. And it can be used for more than death scene, let me tell you. In fact, I walked out of this movie saying to myself, "Why? Why!!!"''
* ''TheKentuckyFriedMovie'' has a random CIA mook shout this when the villain has him [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment banished to]]... Detroit. ''''''"NO! NO, NOT DETROIT! NO! NO, PLEASE! ANYTHING BUT THAT!! NO! NO!!"''''''
* ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''. While the Nazis are sliding the stone block to seal off the Well of Souls (with Indy and Marion inside), Marion yells "Noooo!" The sound is abruptly cut off when the block slides into place.
* Played straight with the end of ''HeavenlyCreatures''.
* In ''TropicThunder'' Tugg Speedman lets out one of these after ''[[spoiler:killing a panda in self defense]]'', and [[HilarityEnsues it's hilarious]].
* In ''{{Se7en}}'' David Mills build up to one of these after being informed that [[spoiler: it was his wife's head in the box]]. "What was in the boooox? You're a liar! No! NO!"
* The Abbé Coulmier in ''Quills'' achieves a massive Big No, bordering perhaps on Huge status, upon [[spoiler:the Marquis de Sade's suicide]]. The Abbé's No is so big that it in fact incites a chorus of Big Nos from the asylum's inmates, which echoes off the mildewed walls and bathes the watcher in the uncensored vocal epitaph of the Abbé's bitter moral defeat.
* In ''Film/{{Superman}}'', Superman lets out a few quiet little nos, followed by a big scream of anguish, when Lois Lane dies in the earthquake. ToyFare magazine's Geek 100 rated this #6, as "the most agonized scream ever recorded on film."
* In ''Film/TheGodfather, Part 3'' Al Pacino gives a huge "NO", complete with faded soundtrack ''[[spoiler: when his daughter is shot.]]''
* When Art Lean is killed by Goro in the ''Film/MortalKombat'', the Big No is screamed by Sonya immediately upon his death, and then issued by Johnny Cage when Shang Tsung proceeds to [[YourSoulIsMine consume the guy's soul]].
* Said by [[TimCurry Dr. Frank N Furter]] in ''TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' as he flees from a laser-wielding Riff Raff.
* Parodied by WilliamShatner in ''Invasion Iowa'', writing 13 O's on his cue card.
* In the ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'' movie [[spoiler: Nite Owl lets out a classic Big No complete with falling to his knees upon seeing the disintegration of Rorschach]].
* In ''{{Zoolander}}'', Derek Zoolander has one of these when he sees his (even more {{Too Dumb to Live}} than he is) friends die in a tragic gasoline fight accident, not very far into the movie. (The "no" starts a bit earlier, when he sees a cigarette arcing towards his friends in SloMo.)
* ''Film/{{Halloween}} 4: The Return of Michael Myers'' has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEllT1RHqa8&NR=1 several]], all said in a row when Loomis [[spoiler: realizes Laurie's daughter (whom he's been trying to protect) has been corrupted by Michael and has murdered her foster mother with a pair of scissors at the end of the film.]]
* ''{{Legend}}'' (1985). Darkness yells "Nooooooo!" when he's blasted out into space by the sunlight.
* Used twice in the ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', both times by [[spoiler: Logan]]; first time after [[spoiler: he kills his father]] and the second time when [[spoiler: he finds the dead body of his girlfriend]]. In the regular ''X-Men'' trilogy, {{Wolverine}} does it after killing [[spoiler:Jean Grey]], and when Iceman freezes the hallway between Logan and William Stryker.
* ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', young Eric Lehnsherr (Magneto), just after his mother is killed. In his anguished cry, he's actually screaming: "NEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIN", the German version of this trope.
* Played for laughs by Will Arnett in ''HotRod''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w95E7xg--Fc Must be seen to be believed.]]
* Several characters in ''Film/TheFall'' scream "NOOOOOOOOOO!" at one point -- sometimes it's played for humor, sometimes it's played very, very straight.
* Queen Penelope has one in the film ''The Oddyssey''.
* ''Lust in the Dust'', after Abel Wood kills Bernardo's henchmen.
-->'''Marguerita:''' Accident?\\
'''Abel:''' They moved.\\
'''Bernardo:''' ''NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!''\\
'''Marguerita:''' Shut up, Bernardo.
* ''Film/JudgeDredd''
** The title character does this when former Chief Justice Fargo is mortally wounded by Junior.
** Judge Griffin does it just before the ABC robot rips his arms and legs off.
* A rare example of this being done well comes from ''TheElephantMan'':
-->"NO! I am NOT an ELEPHANT! I am NOT an ANIMAL! I am a human BEING! I am... a man."
* In ''TheWickerMan'' (1973), this, along with a BigOMG, is Sgt. Howie's first reaction to seeing the titular edifice. The camera-work, buildup, and above all, Edward Woodward's believable delivery of the line removed any potential narm.
* In ''TheMatrix'', Agent Smith gives a brief one after Neo dives into his body and before he explodes.
* In ''Bridge to Silence'', Marlee Matlin's character both screams and signs her Big No when told that her husband is dead. How to do a Big No in AMSLAN: Using your right hand, make a "bird's bill" with your thumb and pointer and middle fingers. Clap them together rapidly for as long as you want your Big No to last.
* Horror movie ''Skinned Deep'' has an example, with the FinalGirl screaming "NOOOOOOOO!" repeatedly throughout the entire end credits.
* Freddy Krueger does a hilarious version of this in ''FreddyVsJason'' when he finds himself caught on a piece of construction equipment and being dragged [[OhCrap straight into a thoroughly pissed-off Jason]].
* A Big No occurs from Brian when both Bull and Axe fell in the firefighting movie ''{{Backdraft}}''.
* One comes from Howard Payne when he finds out he was tricked by the relooping security camera set up by Jack Traven in the movie ''Film/{{Speed}}''.
* ''DeepBlueSea'' has one Big No from Susan [=McCalister=] (played by Saffron Burrows).
* The movie ''Ricochet'' has several Big No's from Earl Talbot Blake (Played by John Lithgow) when Nick Styles (Played by Denzel Washington) goes crazy.
* ''PointBreak'' has this trope by Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) when he sees Pappas (Gary Busey) gets shot in the back by a shotgun.
* ''ShutterIsland'' features one from the protagonist in a flashback near the end of the film, complete with [[SkywardScream overhead camera shot]].
* A Big No occurs from Duke (Apollo's trainer) in ''RockyIII'', in which, near the end of the rematch, Balboa is making Clubber Lang angry enough to KO him; there's another Big No from Duke (in slow motion) in ''Rocky IV'' after [[spoiler: Apollo Creed was KO'ed (killed) by Ivan Drago in an exhibition match]].
* ''Soapdish''. Montana Moorehead's reaction to her high school yearbook showing that she was once [[spoiler: ''Milton'' Moorehead, of Syosset, NJ.]]
* ''FatalInstinct''. Ned Ravine after he thinks his skunk has been killed.
* ''Diavolo in Corpo'' a.k.a. ''Devil in the flesh'': Giulia (played by Maruschka Detmers) says this trope after a diary is read to her by someone.
* ''{{Tombstone}}'': Recently pointed out by WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, KurtRussell's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yfr_Zj1iU4 Big No]] is so [[SoBadItsGood Narmy]] it has to be seen to be believed. It comes with a cluster of {{Little No}}s too.
** Of note: According to witnesses, this actually happened, and this example is more out of defiance than anguish or despair. It's not "No, you killed my [insert relative/acquaintance]!" it's "No, you bastards ain't killing me!"
* ''{{Anchorman|TheLegendOfRonBurgundy}}'': Ron Burgundy does this when a [[JackBlack certain man]] punts Ron's dog Baxter over the bridge.
* ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}''. Princess Vespa, when she's threatened with being given her old ugly nose back.
** Turns into a CrowningMomentOfFunny when she adds "Where did you get that picture?"
* ''TheHappening'' gives us a Big No courtesy of Mark Wahlberg, who screams it when someone he's known for an hour and a half gets shot.
* In ''TheBoondockSaints'', Connor [=McManus=] gets one after [[spoiler: Rocco gets shot and dies]].
* The JensenAckles flick ''Devour'' has got one in the end.
* Scott in ''{{Eurotrip}}'' when he finds out that Mieke is a girl.
* Potentially one of the more ridiculous examples occurs in the horrible ''Sleep Stalker,'' where the goatee-sporting lead character utters one with an ape-like inflection as he does it. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mwxU3mq7Hs&feature=player_detailpage#t=176s It's worth seeing.]]
* In the ''AtlasShrugged'' movie, Dagny gives a reverberating one when she reaches [[spoiler:the fire at the Wyatt oil fields.]]
* [[BigBad Dr. Weir]] of ''EventHorizon'' gets one when [[spoiler:Captain Miller activates the explosives of the bridge connecting the gravity chamber to the rest of the ship as it's about to go into the [[HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace Cosmic Horror dimension]] that killed its last crew, sacrificing himself to save what's left of his own crew]].
* ''UndercoverBrother''. A {{mook}} does this as Undercover Brother is about to stamp down on him. It then turns out that UB smashed a bag of potato chips instead.
* Kei does this at the end of ''MoonChild'', when [[spoiler:Sho is dying in his arms]].
* Done hilariously in ''Film/SilentMovie''. Mel Funn, making the first silent movie in forty years, has the brainstorm of inviting reknowned mime Marcel Marceau. Calling France, he asks Marcel if he would to star in the picture. Marcel's response is the only audible line in the entire film; ''"NON!"''
** When Mel Brooks called Marcel Marceau to ask him to say the line, he originally pitched it as just "NO!" Marceau replied that he would only do it if it was "NON!" instead. Why? Because it would make more sense for him to say it in French.
* [[spoiler:Caesar]] gives a big one in RiseOfThePlanetOfTheApes; also counts as a WhamLine. Why? [[spoiler: It was his first word.]]
* In the beginning of MuppetsFromSpace, Gonzo does this when he's excluded from Noah's Ark because he's the only one of his kind. Combines this with a SkywardScream as the Great Flood begins.
-->'''Gonzo:''' Nooo! Noooo! I don't want to be alone! Nooo!
* Romeo in ''[[WilliamShakespearesRomeoAndJuliet Romeo + Juliet]]'', upon Mercutio's death.
* ''Film.EverAfter'': Danielle does one when Marguerite [[KickTheDog throws a book into the fire that was the last gift she ever got from her dead father]].
* A Dutch version of the trope occurs in ''De hel van '63'', when Melle accidentally skates into a hole in the ice. He can't find back the hole and his girlfriend Annemiek can do nothing but watch him drown underneath her. She screams "NEE!" when he stops moving.
* Subverted in ''{{Daredevil}}'' after [[spoiler: Elektra dies]]. It looks like Matt Murdock is winding up for a NOOOOO! but doesn't do it.
* In TheNeverEndingStory, when Atreyu screams "ARTAX!!!"
* In ''TheContender'', Jeff Bridges as President Jackson Evans yells one in frustration.
* In the remake of ''TheHaunting'', Eleanor shouts "NO! I will not let you hurt the children!" at a ghost.
* In ''Film/TheAvengers'', Thor shouts this [[spoiler:when Loki mortally wounds Agent Coulson]] aboard the SHIELD Helicarrier.
* Luther screams a classic "Nooooooooo" in the climactic scene of "The Warriors" as badass gang The Riffs [[spoiler:close in to (presumably) hack him and his gang to pieces]].
