* ''Series/Hunter1984''. Hunter kills a Central American diplomat who raped his partner Dee Dee [=McCall=]. A later episode has the man's brother turning up for revenge. He's a fan of Westerns so he kidnaps Hunter and says he will duel him for his life. Hunter shoots the gun out of his hand, then repeatedly shoots the pistol as the man keeps grabbing for it. This was despite a previous episode where Hunter ridiculed the idea of BlastingItOutOfTheirHands.

* ''Series/Hunter1984''. ''Series/Hunter1984''
** In "The Shooter", a guy on a motorbike goes around challenging police officers to a quick draw shootout and killing them. This is because of a WildWest arcade game in his favorite bar where he's routinely the best, and he goes after people who beat his high score. Rick Hunter deliberately scores higher on the game because he knows it will draw out the cop killer, but when the killer goes to challenge him, Hunter turns around with his gun already drawn. He flees but the chase ends with Hunter holding him at gunpoint, whereupon the killer proves he's TooDumbToLive when he tries drawing despite Hunter's clear advantage.

* In ''Film/{{Serenity}}'', Mal finds himself up against The Operative who is a more skilled opponent, but Mal has a faster draw as seen in their final confrontation. The Operative's StaticStunGun ''is already drawn'' and Mal still draws and fires before the Operative can get a shot off, sending him diving for cover. This is pointed out in the film's commentary.

* In the first ''Film/RushHour'' movie, Detective Carter is able to drop from a standing position, fire an ankle-holstered gun, stabilize his aim with his off-hand, and get a kill shot, in the time it takes the assassin Sang to draw and shoot a waist-holstered gun. In the second film, in the time Kenny takes to assume his fighting stance, Carter has his gun out and aimed at Kenny's ''head''. Because of the over the shoulder camera shot, viewers can see Jackie Chan's Inspector Lee visibly startled. An earlier shot does show that about 8 seconds prior, Carter has his hands on his hips, and subtly moved his suit jacket out of the way of his draw, in case the weapon was necessary.
