History Main / UnflinchingWalk

* In the animated video for WeirdAlYankovic's "CNR", Charles Nelson Reilly is seen doing it as he blows up the secret of cold fusion which he just discovered.

* Ludmilla Tourischeva, galactically successful Soviet gymnast in the early-mid '70s, executing her uneven bars routine for the World Cup in 1975. As she is wrapping it up and just about to dismount, the bars [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9gBk0P9yEc suddenly start collapsing]]. She flies off the apparatus and hits her dismount as the bars collapse completely. Tourischeva salutes the judges and strolls away without batting an eyelid or looking behind her. And then goes on to sweep the All-Around and all four event finals.

* [[http://www.cracked.com/article_17019_p2.html Audie fricking Murphy]].

* Slightly subverted in ''Film/FromDuskTillDawn.'' Seth and Richie Gecko are bickering with each other while walking out of the exploding store. Richie had been shot in the hand, and Seth is annoyed that Richie is unable to keep a "low profile." Neither plays attention to the store they just blew up.

* In {{Linkara}} and ERod's crossover review of ''Film/BatmanTheMovie'', the two do this after "getting rid of the bomb".

* ''{{The X-Files}}'', episode "731": Mr X. outwalked the fireball carrying Mulder.

* Cure Rhthym from ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure'', when she purifies a Negatone with her Music Rondo, she just walks away like an elegant lady before and when it explodes.

* In {{Linkara}} and BlockbusterBuster's crossover review of ''Film/Batman1966'', the two do this after "getting rid of the bomb".

* In VideoGameHighSchool [[spoiler: Brian D.]] does this after taking down [[spoiler: The Law.]]

* In ''{{Franchise/Terminator}} 2: Judgment Day'', the T1000 does one of these after being INSIDE the truck that exploded. It walks, in silvery form, calmly and casually [[OutOfTheInferno out of the fireball]], and just as calmly recomposes its camouflage form and walks on.

* ''KamenRider'', to its credit, being a far more badass {{Tokusatsu}} franchise, rarely subverts this (or at least follows the SuperSentai samples above), with the most egregious being KamenRiderBlackRX and, for a more contemporary example, ''KamenRiderHibiki'' in its NonSerialMovie entitled ''[[Film/SevenSamurai The Seven Senki]]''.
** This was parodied in a great scene on the ''KamenRiderDecade'' special features, where various Kamen Riders hold a footrace to see who has the fastest landspeed. Most of the other Riders make a show of it, but Black just does an UnflinchingWalk around the track, slow-mo and all. The other Kamen Riders proceed to reset the finishing line tape for him and declare him the winner when he finally gets to the end.

* Also done in the ''Series/StargateSG1'' episode "Talion", as Teal'c, who is in full RoaringRampageOfRevenge mode, walks away from a Jaffa traitor, who he's tied to a car and wired to a bomb, ''Man On Fire'' style.

* Stationary variant: On ''Monster Garage'', Jesse James stays completely still and unflinching in the foreground as the show's first failed creation, a carcrushing hearse, is itself fed into a car crusher, then blown up spectacularly due to a jug of propane planted in it by the crew.

* This is without a doubt the most fun way to use the remote plastic explosive in ''{{GTA}}: San Andreas'', and with the FreeRotatingCamera you can make sure you've got the best possible viewpoint.

* In an episode of ''Series/StargateAtlantis'', Ronon Dex is forced to fight several enemies. In one case he casually turns away from a foe who is down but not out. He then tosses a grenade over his shoulder without breaking stride.
** Also done in the ''Series/{{Stargate SG-1}}'' episode "Talion," as Teal'c, who is in full RoaringRampageOfRevenge mode, walks away from a Jaffa traitor, who he's tied to a car and wired to a bomb, ''Man On Fire'' style.
--> '''Traitor''': Where are you going?\\
'''Teal'c''': I am leaving. You are about to explode.

* In a variant, Gibbs of ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' stomped out of a room as a huge real-time explosion took place ''on a screen'' behind him. [[spoiler:He was disgusted by his superiors' refusal to call back some marines who were headed for the munitions ship, and wasn't going to linger and watch good men die unnecessarily. So disgusted, in fact, that he quit entirely.]]

* Mr. White pulls one of these in ''BreakingBad'' when [[spoiler: he loses his patience with a rude, obnoxious businessman and puts a squeegee on his car battery, shorting it out. At first the viewer is amazed at how much White's morals have slipped as he walks away, AND THEN THE CAR EXPLODES. Mr. White, of course, does not flinch.]]
