* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', Slick leads LaResistance. [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2008-08-10 Death targets him, and Jesus saves him and tells him the trope.]]

-->'''Kathryn:''' Get in the car, asshole!

* ComicBook/BoosterGold and ComicBook/BlueBeetle (Ted Kord) once pull this while rescuing one of their old comrades in a BadPresent; Ted says the line and Booster [[IAlwaysWantedToSayThat protests]]: "Hey! You said '''I''' could say it!"
** Booster later pulls this in order to rescue Ted's successor, Jaime Reyes, from an exploding spaceship.

* Rei's first line in ''Fanfic/NobodyDies''. If the whole "shooting an Angel with a bazooka" wasn't a clue that this is a very different take on Rei or ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]]'' in general, this should convince you.

* Rath does this to Electra in ''{{Film/Assassins}}''.

* Slight variation in ''Film/SnakesOnAPlane'': "Do as I say, and you live."

* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' contains two instances as character voice lines that can be applied : Ana received "Follow me if you want to live" in an Anniversary Update. Baptiste later had the line added verbatim.[[/folder]]

* Happens in many ''Film/JamesBond'' films. For example, in ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'' Bond is escaping from the Osato Chemicals building when Aki drives up beside him and tells him to "Get in!"

** In "No Substitute for Crazy", Denzel Crocker lost his job as an elementary school teacher and became a crossing guard. The teacher who replaced him at Dimmsdale Elementary School revealed herself as an even more menancing fairy hunter than him. Crocker helped Timmy telling him to cross the street if he wants to live.

* In the ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' episode [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS2E5AHenInTheWolfHouse "A Hen in the Wolf House"]], [[Comicbook/{{Mockingbird}} Bobbi Morse]], introduced earlier as the head of Comicbook/{{HYDRA}} security, reveals herself as a Comicbook/{{SHIELD}} ReverseMole by saving Simmons (who's also a reverse mole, but just had her cover blown) from HYDRA {{Mooks}} and helping her escape.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'': In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E08AnInsideMan "An Inside Man"]], a [[DressingAsTheEnemy disguised]] Kanan and Ezra, attempting to escape Lothal City's Imperial complex during a lockdown, get rescued by the ReverseMole in this fashion, ordered into an elevator under the pretense of coming with him to check the perimeter — with the added complication that they don't initially know he's on their side, as the last time they interacted with him was before his HeelFaceTurn.

* Used self-consciously and hurmorously, and immediately lampshaded, in ''Literature/Aeon14'' "Return To Sol: Star Rise":

** The episode [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS7E05ATroutInTheMilk "A Trout in the Milk"]] is even more blatant with Enoch rescuing part of the team with a SesquipedalianLoquaciousness variation of the line.

* Aragorn's introduction in ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' is a particularly slow-moving version of this trope (since his method of escape is "be a wilderness expert" rather than something like "drive a fast car"). This is more true in [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings the film]], where they leave Bree right away; although it's heavily implied in the book that the hobbits wouldn't survive the night without him.

* The Disney animated series of ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' does this as a ShoutOut to ''Terminator''. Hercules is on the run from his StalkerWithACrush {{Yandere}} [[{{Shapeshifter}} shapeshifting]], clay {{golem}} girlfriend (ItMakesSenseInContext; the episode's plot is based on [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmalion_(mythology) Pygmalion]]) who has more than a passing resemblance to the T-1000. Cassandra turns up in a chariot and utters this trope.

* In the first episode of ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'' Cameron, a normal teenage girl, says this to John Connor as he's being attacked by a Terminator. [[FirstEpisodeSpoiler It turns out she's a Terminator herself, but a good one sent by his older self from the future to protect him.]]

Alice has found herself in a sticky situation. Maybe the {{Mooks}} are closing in, or even worse, the BigBad himself. She's on the wrong end of a RunOrDie battle, and running isn't working out too well. Enter Bob -- whom Alice may have never met before -- with a speedy getaway at the ready. Bob could be a guy on a horse, in a car, on a motorcycle, a wilderness expert, or even a made-of-iron cyborg StoneWall.

This is distinguished from TheCavalry because the unexpected rescuer is

#Often introduced in this fashion in order to [[CavalryBetrayal leave it open ended whether he's a good guy, bad guy or something in between.]]

* In ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', Meifa does this to Jet when they get shot at by gangsters in the cemetery.

* ''{{Series/How I Met Your Mother}}'''s Barney Stinson turns this into a pick-up line while naked: "Come with me if you want to bang."
