* ''Film/RoboCop2014'' begins with a stereotypical group of ragtag "freedom fighters" in an Arabic country opposing western forces invading their city and clearly intending to die in the process. Deconstructed soon enough in that they don't intend to do so while fighting: their goal is specifically to [[spoiler:get martyred by the robots while on television]], intending to show the world how evil said robots are. It backfires big time: [[spoiler:while they are indeed killed by the robots with no trouble at all]], the newsman showing the footage spins it as proof of the robot forces being superior and desirable.
