* Done, believe it or not, in a book. In ''Catch A Killer'' by George Woods (who also provides the page quote) the death of the titular killer is described in a {{Narm}}y way that evokes this image.

->''"The camera is all screwed up. He jumps! He jumps again, from a different angle! What the heck?! Is this some new funky directing style, or what?"''[[note]]The game in question came out '''72 years''' after ''The Battleship Potemkin''[[/note]]
-->-- '''[[Series/GamingInTheClintonYears George Wood]]''' on the bungee jumping scene from ''[[VideoGame/GoldenEye1997 GoldenEye 64]]''

* In ''Film/BattlefieldEarth'', When Terl's boss mentions that he plans to keep Terl on Earth instead of giving him a temporary reprieve, the movie plays back the "''with endless options for renewal!''" part of the speech three times for some reason. The same thing happens when a caveman tells Jonnie that the Psychlos can't be defeated.

* Used in the iconic introduction of Simba in ''Disney/TheLionKing''. Needless to say, it ended up doing its job of being ingrained into viewers' mind.

* The Ingmar Bergman film ''Film/{{Persona 1966}}'' does this with an entire ''scene'': first, we see a monologue with the camera looking at the speaker, and then we see the exact same monologue again, this time with the camera focusing on who the speaker is talking to. Bonus points: this isn't a simple shot-reverse shot, this is an entire sequence, with each shot being a perfect mirror of the opposite angle for each corresponding shot.

* This technique was a common quirk in ''Series/HomicideLifeOnTheStreet'', although ExecutiveMeddling led to it being heavily cut down in later seasons.
** It turned up, as a stylistic parody, in the Documentary episode (named ''The Documentary'', oddly enough). Their crimescene videographer's documentary uses the effect, and the characters (watching it) [[LampshadeHanging mock it as an amateurish editing mistake]].

* ''Series/DoctorWho'' featured one in "Forest of the Dead" when the Doctor realised just why his future self gave River Song the [[ChekhovsGun sonic screwdriver]]...

* Seen on ''TheOfficeUS'' during [[ShowWithinAShow Michael's home-made action movie]] ''Threat Level Midnight''. It's a scene of a character's head [[YourHeadAsplode exploding]] several times. Said character is played by ButtMonkey Toby.
* [[Series/TheBigBangTheory Eye of the Tiger montage]]

* ''WesternAnimation/{{ReBoot}}'' did this in one episode.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie'', this happens when Rodimus Prime opens the Matrix of Leadership.

* Experimental short film ''Film/TheLifeAndDeathOf9413AHollywoodExtra'' features the protagonist, an aspiring actor, trying to reach a big sign that says "SUCCESS". He keeps trying to climb the stairs to "SUCCESS", but the film just repeats the same shot of him climbing the first few stesps, symbolizing his failure and lack of progress.

* This is used heavily in ''Manga/OniisamaE'', mostly on still frames.

* In ''Manga/ShokugekiNoSoma'', when Soma Yukihira identifies himself as Jouichirou's son, Professor Shiomi knocks him down with a punch -- which is then seen from three other viewpoints, labeled as though a sporting event were providing instant replay.

* The [[OhCrap breach of the Deeping Wall]] in ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings The Two Towers]]''.

* One of Sylvia's superhero powers in ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe 2'' is Replay, which triples the damage of any attack used while it's in effect. When the hits are shown, it's from three different angles.

* Used over and over in the first D.Y.N.A.M.O. episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''.

* Asmodeus' death in ''Redwall'' evokes such an image as well.

* Albert Pyun (director of sci-fi movies like ''Film/{{Cyborg|1989}}'' and ''Film/{{Nemesis}}'') was known to use this to ridiculous degrees, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgEffYSeXoE Bloodmatch]]'' being his most egregious example

* One of the earliest uses of the technique in an action film appeared in the climactic battle of Creator/AkiraKurosawa's ''Zoku Sanshiro Sugata'', with a karate chop nearly missing the main character's face, setting the stage for one of action cinema's most enduring cliches.

* Similarly PlayedForLaughs in ''Film/KungPowerEnterTheFist'', where Chosen One runs towards Ling, it cuts to her calling for him, he appears closer, cuts back to her repeating the same call, then cuts back to him and he's ''further'' away.

* The Ingmar Bergman film ''Film/{{Persona}}'' does this with an entire ''scene'': first, we see a monologue with the camera looking at the speaker, and then we see the exact same monologue again, this time with the camera focusing on who the speaker is talking to. Bonus points: this isn't a simple shot-reverse shot, this is an entire sequence, with each shot being a perfect mirror of the opposite angle for each corresponding shot.

* Happens on ''VideoGame/BanjoTooie'' in the final battle when the [[DrillTank HAG 1]] blows up with Gruntilda still inside, after she [[HoistByHisOwnPetard accidentally]] dropped her [[OneHitKill spell]] in a last-ditch effort to defeat the bear and bird duo.
