* Creator/JohnWoo is in love with this trope, as it's been a trademark of his since ''Film/TheKiller1989'', where they featured strongly during the siege at the church in the finale. By the time ''Film/MissionImpossibleII'' was released, it appeared as though Woo had ''[[WhyDontYouMarryIt married]]'' this trope and fathered a dozen of its babies. This trope even appears in the anime movie ''Anime/AppleseedExMachina'' he is producing (see above).
** In his video game sequel to ''Film/HardBoiled'', ''VideoGame/{{Stranglehold}}'', you can activate Spin Attack, which kills every mook in the room and summons doves. [[RuleOfCool For no reason.]] [[FridgeLogic Inside any building.]]
** And in ''Film/RedCliff'' he finally finds a way to make the symbolic doves plot important: they're bred by Zhuge Liang for use to deliver messages.

* ''VideoGame/Killer7'': A single disturbed dove is part of the boss fight against Curtis Blackburn. He challenges Dan Smith to a quick-draw contest, saying, "We begin when the bird flies." The two stare each other down while one of Curtis's doves settles on his shoulder. As soon as it flies away again, the two draw on each other. The first to get a shot off gets a point; the first to four points wins. If you try to attack before the bird flies Curtis will shoot you for cheating. [[spoiler:There's a secret cue to let the player anticipate when the dove will fly - it coos seconds before it takes off.]]
