** In ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', much to Ganos' shock, Master Roshi effortlessly dodges his blows. Roshi explains that Ganos as superior speed and strength, but Roshi is so experienced that he can see all his attacks coming. Ganos then powers up and becomes fast enough to hit Roshi, forcing Roshi to defeat him immediately.

** Ultra Instinct grants its user this ability on a sub-conscious level. When using Ultra Instinct, the user's body reacts without thinking, allowing them to dodge everything with absolutely minimal effort. Whis demonstrates this when training Goku and Vegeta, acting bored while effortlessly dodging their attacks, commenting on the weather, and drawing symbols on their shirts.

However, ''Manga/DragonBallSuper'' shows that it can be overcome if the opponent is simply too fast for the user to keep up. Both Black Frieza and Gohan Beast are able to hit Goku after he mastered Ultra Instinct.

* Zed in ''Film/MenInBlack''. Jay accidentally releases the [[HyperDestructiveBouncingBall Bouncy Ball of Doom]], it ricochets through Zed's office as he's doing paperwork, and he casually leans to the side to avoid it, only tilting his head at the very end because it would have gone straight through his skull.
* In ''Film/MirrorMirror'', Prince Alcott casually blocks multiple strikes from [[spoiler: Snow White]] over his shoulder while walking away and [[YouFightLikeACow taunting her.]]
* Shafek in ''Film/TheMummyReturns'' loves doing this. Multiple times, he will duck or jerk aside at just the right moment in order to let whoever happened to be standing behind him take the hit instead. It's done for purely comic effect, however, as he always looks amazed that he actually pulled it off. [[spoiler:He later ends up on the receiving end, though, when Jonathan dodges a spear and ''Shafek'' takes the hit.]]

* In Kraid's post-boss cutscene in ''VideoGame/MetroidDread'', the big guy fires one last belly spike at Samus as he sinks into the lava and she merely twists her body to the side to avoid it, capping off a fight [[NoNonsenseNemesis Samus wasn't taking seriously to begin with]].
