Crocodile Dundee II - Walter's head wound
Added DiffLines:
** In the 2nd film he shoots his friend Walter with a rifle when he has been captured by the drug dealers, aiming to just graze the side of his head, so that the 2 villians will think Mick is ruthless enough to off his own friend to save his own skin, and thus use the apparently-betrayed Walter to help track Mick. Miss the one way by a tiny bit and the effect is lost; miss the other way and he kills his friend.

* ''WesternAnimation/GoWestALuckyLukeAdventure'' has Lucky Luke fire a seemingly random shot in the middle of a RollercoasterMine situation, with the bullet bouncing off lanterns, shovels, and other bits to disappear into the mine. After a [[PinballProjectile series of profoundly improbable ricochets]], [[ChekhovsGun the bullet bounces back out]] ''the other side of the mine'' minutes later, [[BlastingItOutOfTheirHands straight down into the barrel of the revolver being held by the shortest Dalton brother]] threatening Luke and causing it to aggressively break apart into its (encyclopedically marked!) component parts. Luke's casual "bang" with a FingerGun gesture suggests he saw this coming and had ''planned'' that shot well in advance.

Added DiffLines:
* An important plot point in the final act of ''Film/{{Argylle}}'' is something called the "vascular corridor", a narrow gap between organs in the body that makes it possible for someone to look like they've been shot in the heart when the bullet actually passed through the body without hitting anything of importance, leaving a wound that is survivable if the bleeding is stemmed quickly enough. Such a wound happening when a person is hit by a random spray of bullets seems unlikely but possible, sort of an inverse Golden BB. Somebody making that shot ''on purpose'', on the other hand, stretches belief. Especially on the first attempt, while severely out of practice in handling guns in general.

At the beginning of the movie the [[Creator/JohnWayne title character]] shoots a hitman fleeing from him at an impressive distance with a six-inch magnum revolver, much to the awe of a witness. However this crack shooting is not carried on in other scenes, where admittedly he's being shot back at. However when [=McQ=] gets his hands on an [[CoolGuns Ingram MAC-10]], the question of accuracy [[MoreDakka becomes moot]].

He also takes his partner's target headshot and makes it the nose in a smiley face from about 25 yards, quite the distance with a pistol.
