* ''Film/{{Frostbite}}'' -- as the third act begins the heroes not only have to deal with a crazy Nazi-vampire haunting the [[TheNightThatNeverEnds polar night]], they have to deal with the uncontrollable horde of teen vampires emerging.
* ''Film/{{Gojira}}''. Boats mysteriously sinking? That's bad. Explosions causing it? Worse. People dying of radiation sickness? Much worse. A radioactive dinosaur bent on [[KillAllHumans wiping out all of humanity]] and destroying Tokyo in the process? OhCrap.
** One of the sequels, ''GMK'', has this as well. Godzilla has returned and is driven by the souls of those who died in WWII and want revenge on Japan. Not too bad so far. [[FromBadToWorse And then Godzilla brutally kills the three gods (Baragon, Mothra, and Ghidorah) that were awakened to kill him]]. Oh, wait...[[HopeSpot One of the human protagonists]] [[spoiler:just blew Godzilla up.]] YAY! Godzilla has been defe-[[spoiler:What do you mean Godzilla's dismembered heart is still beating at the bottom of the ocean!?]]
** ''Film/GodzillaVSKingGhidorah''. Ok, a bunch of people from the future want to go back in time and erase Godzilla from existing? Doesn't seem too bad so fa-Wait, what do you mean they just left behind three cute creatures that will mutate into a three-headed dragon? That doesn't seem so ba-Wait, what do you mean said three-headed dragon is under their control and they're using it to destroy Tokyo and prevent it from becoming a superpower. Well, it can't get any worse, right? [[spoiler:What do you mean Godzilla's back and he's bigger and more powerful than ever before!?!]]
** ''Film/GodzillaVsDestoroyah''. First Godzilla Junior seemingly vanishes, then it's revealed that Godzilla is dying of "Nuclear Overload" and will essentially go into a meltdown, and it's revealed that the Oxygen Destroyer (the very device which killed the original Godzilla) has spawned something much eviler than Godzilla.
*** At least there's a HopeSpot where Junior and Godzilla reunited and-[[spoiler: Oh, wait, Destoroyah just brutally killed Junior and is now tormenting the mourning Godzilla. Oh, and Godzilla's grief has caused him to go into a meltdown.]]

** ''Film/GodzillaMinusOne'' has this right in the title - at the film's beginning, Japan is at a "zero state" after UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, with their economy and infrastructure in ruins. Two years later, they're just starting to recover... and then Godzilla shows up and starts causing [[TheTokyoFireball his usual amount of mass destruction]], jeopardizing the country's already-fragile recovery and dragging them into a "minus state".

* ''Film/ABridgeTooFar'': As the Allies drop in Holland for Operation Market Garden, the problems for the British 1st Airbourne present themselves early and only get worse from there. First, they find that the machine gun-equipped jeeps were lost during transport, leaving them without a form of vehicular support and forcing them to take Arnhem bridge on foot. Then they find that their radios are not functional, leaving no one outside Arnhem aware of the situation. General Urquhart journeys to the front for an update, but ends up hiding in a house for days due to an ambush. By the time he gets back to his HQ, he learns that absolutely everything has gone to hell: they are facing elite SS Panzer troops, they are now completely cut off from the troops in Arnhem, their drop zones have been overrun so their supplies are going to the Germans, and they ''still'' can't get the radios to work. By the time they ''do'' get the radio to work, the situation has so deteriorated that Urquhart's force and Colonel Frost's troops in Arnhem are completely surrounded, and after asking ''each other'' for reinforcements, they decide there's nothing to do but wait for XXX Corps to arrive, which is completely exhausted by the time they do and so the British are forced to withdraw.

* ''Film/The24th'': Racial tensions between the black soldiers of the 24th Inf. Regiment and the white local Houston police force have already gone way past boiling point due to several violent incidents between the parties. [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Col. Norton]], their only good officer is then reassigned to another unit with the less-competent (and also racist) [[TheNeidermeyer Major Abner]] taking over, shaking the men's faith in their command's ability to protect them. It gets ''even worse'' when news of two of their men possibly being killed by the local police reaches the camp, along rumours of an angry white mob coming to kill the rest of them. All these incidents convinces the black soldiers to take up arms and pre-emptively march on the town to pacify the "mob" before they get killed themselves.
