** Mirage, like the aforementioned examples with Noah Diaz and Optimus Prime, also gets the good end of this trope. His friendliness allows Noah to make friends with him quickly, which in turn results in Noah's first true friendship with an Autobot and helps him unlock his heroic potential. He keeps him safe throughout the adventure, even keeps in touch with Kris along the way via walkie-talkie, and even performs a [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice selfless act by protecting Noah from Scourge's cannon fire and subsequently surviving to become a enhanced [[SpoweredArmor powered suit]] for Noah to utilize during the remainder of the final battle.]] And, what does he get at the very end of the film? [[spoiler: Noah restores him back to his normal and fully functioning self after he installs his Spark and parts of his pristine body into a junked Porsche of the same model he first met him in]].

* ''Film/{{Bumblebee}}'': [[AlphaBitch Tina]] cruelly mocks Charlie by calling her car (Bumblebee) ugly and that [[SpeakIllOfTheDead her father should get her a better one]]. Later on, Bumblebee has her car ''obliterated''.

* ''Film/WrongTurn4BloodyBeginnings'': Kenia convincing the others to spare the cannibals not only causes others to be killed by them, but also herself]

* In ''Film/TheFly1986'', Seth Brundle's GodzillaThreshold plan to reclaim ''some'' of his humanity turns out to involve genetically fusing himself with his lover Veronica (and their unborn child), figuring that if nothing else he'll have "the ultimate family". He comes ''very'' close to pulling this off since in his OneWingedAngel Brundlefly state she isn't able to stop him from tossing her into one telepod while he climbs into the other... but Veronica's desperate ex-lover Stathis, who's just lost a hand ''and'' foot to Seth's corrosive vomit, manages to shoot out the cables connecting her pod to the others with seconds left on the countdown. With his TragicDream thus denied him, Seth/Brundlefly has a VillainousBreakdown and smashes open the door of his pod to at least get back at Stathis... but can't get out before the countdown ends, and as a result, the computer controlling the pods merges him with ''the wreckage of the pod that ends up teleported with him''! This leaves him a pathetic ClippedWingAngel, and though unable to speak, he manages to communicate to the now-free Veronica that he wants her to finish him off with Stathis's shotgun, and she tearfully obliges.

* Alan uses Rohypnol with malice aforethought in ''Film/TheHangoverPartII'', and the third film revolves around him being committed to an insane asylum [[OnceAnEpisode after treating himself and the rest of the Wolf Pack to Rohypnol ]].

* A possible case of Laser-Guided Karma exists in the first part of the film adaptation of ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'', where, after Harry Potter manages to deactivate Umbridge's Patronus keeping a hive of Dementors at bay, she and the court are engulfed by them.

* ''Film/DoctorInDistress1963'': Sir Lancelot refuses to let an ambulance overtake him when he is driving to Hampden Cross Hospital, even though the ambulance man is clearly desperate to get through. When Sir Lancelot gets trapped in his own parking space by cars that are too close for him to open his doors, that same ambulance parks behind him, while the ambulance man retorts that he'll have to wait for them now.

* A very ''literal'' use of this trope is utilized in ''Film/AustinPowersInGoldmember'', specifically in regards to the film's titular villain. To put it simply, Goldmember betrays Dr. Evil (who, surprising for his name, undergoes a HeelFaceTurn when he [[LukeIAmYourFather learns that he is actually Austin Powers' long-lost brother and that Nigel Powers is his father]]) and attempts to fulfill the plan which Dr. Evil nearly started: the destruction of the planet with a Golden Meteorite dragged onto the planet by the Preparation H tractor beam. He also kept a spare of the master key (hint: it's his gilded groin) after losing the original Master Key into the shark tank. Dr. Evil, now Dougie Powers, manages to reverse the polarity of the tractor beam, which causes the tractor beam to backfire on Goldmember, electrocuting him. He is then arrested and going by his comments, is most likely going to await execution.

* In the Creator/LaurelAndHardy film ''Swiss Miss'', Stan and Ollie are having dinner at a fancy hotel in Switzerland. Ollie orders an apple pie for dessert, but is informed that there is none available, [[JerkassBall whereupon he insists on having the chef brought out and goes on an over-dramatic, entitled rant lambasting the man and threatening to get him fired]]. Not a minute later, however, when the boys try to pay their bill they learn that the only money they have is fake, and the manager angrily insists that they will have to WorkOffTheDebt... and sets them to work under the chef they had just insulted, with the added caveat that they would work an extra day for any dish they break. The chef immediately instigates them breaking two dishes, and smugly promises them, "By the time you leave this place, the gray ends of your beards will be trailing across this kitchen floor."

** ''Film/JurassicPark'':

* Early on in ''Film/{{Carrie}}'', instant karma hits a boy on a bicycle who dares to [[BullyingADragon mock Carrie]] as they cross paths. His bicycle goes off the path and crashes almost at once, implicitly [[MindOverMatter because of Carrie]].

* ''Film/BitterMoon'' has a very interesting example. Throughout the film, Nigel has been slowly falling in lust with a Frenchwoman named Mimi, and considers cheating on his wife Fiona. Fiona warns him that anything he can do, she can do better, and flirts with a handsome Latin man. In the film's climax during a party, Nigel tries and fails to seduce Mimi by dancing with her. Fiona witnesses his bungled attempt and proceeds to make good on her warning. She then joins Mimi in a highly erotic MatingDance which culminates in a passionate kiss, to the [[GirlOnGirlIsHot enjoyment of the other partygoers]] and to [[EmasculatedCuckold Nigel's]] [[IWasBeatenByAGirl blue balled humiliation]]. After a few hours of drinking and feeling sorry for himself, he finds them in bed, naked and passed out in each others' arms, completing karmic event.
