* ''Film/TheGhostAndTheDarkness''
** One problem with this trope is shown when Patterson accepts a rifle from someone else that he hasn't tested himself; it misfires right when he has one of the man-eating lions in his sights.
** A justified version in the climax. Patterson (who is unarmed) and Samuel (who has a double-barreled rifle) climb separate trees to escape the pursuing lion, which then starts climbing after Patterson. Samuel can't shoot it because the lion is shielded by the tree trunk, so he throws the rifle to Patterson. The rifle bounces off a branch and falls to the ground, so Patterson leaps down after it, grabbing the rifle JustInTime to shoot the lion.
