* In the ending of the story of Samson in ''Literature/TheBible'' (making this at least OlderThanFeudalism), Samson asks God to restore his strength so he can do this and collapse the Philistines' temple on them. God obliges.

* ''Literature/TheBible'': In the ending of the story of Samson in ''Literature/TheBible'' (making this at least OlderThanFeudalism), Delilah asks Samson his weakness, and he makes up some FakeWeakness, including tying him up with fresh bowstrings, new ropes, or weaving his hair into a weaver's loom. Each time, Delilah would perform the action while he was sleeping and then send soldiers to attack him. Each time, Samson would stand up and snap the bowstrings/snap the ropes/destroy the weaver's loom and defeat the soldiers. When he told Delilah his real weakness of cutting his hair, she did it, taking away his strength and allowing the Philistines to enslave him. In the ending, Samson asks God to restore his strength so he can do this and collapse the Philistines' temple on them. God obliges.

* ''Power Antoinette'' begins with UsefulNotes/MarieAntoinette about to be executed as in history. She was willing to FaceDeathWithDignity, but when her captors comment that her children will be tortured, she breaks her ropes and the guillotine and starts kicking ass to rescue them.

* ''Film/BlazingSaddles:'' A humorous example, where Bart and the Waco Kid have an unconscious Mongo heavily chained to the wall, but when he is woken up, he casually stretches and yawns, snapping all the chains without the slightest effort. Fortunately he's in a peaceable mood.

* ''Film/TrueLies'': This scene is more hilarious when you realize Harry has been pumped full of TruthSerum. And that despite having just ''told'' everyone in the room what he was going to do, [[PreemptiveDeclaration he still succeeds in doing exactly that.]]
