Being declared innocent also results in you being fed to the Sharkticons. The Quintessons are jerks like that.

* ''Film/EmilyTheCriminal'': Discussed.
** Youcef tries to get Emily on his plan to get revenge on Khalil by stealing from him. Emily has reservations and seems like she won't do it. Youcef tells her that Khalil will blame her regardless of her actual role in events, so she might as well take a cut. It doesn't end up happening since Khalil steals from Youcef first.
** After Khalil robs Youcef, Emily defends herself by telling Youcef that her role in it (specifically, that [[InevitablyBrokenRule she broke his rules]]) doesn't matter because Khalil was always going to steal from Youcef.

* In ''Film/IngloriousBasterds'', after the squad wrings any useful information out of their German captives, they play a game with the captives where those captives are asked if they ever intend to take off their uniforms after the end of World War II. Saying yes earns them the wrath of the Bastards, because as Aldo Raine (the leader of the Bastards) explains, anyone who fought for Nazi Germany should be marked as a Nazi for the rest of their days, instead of being able to take off their uniform and pass as a normal member of society afterwards. So the Bastards [[MarkOfShame carve a swastika into the forehead]] of anyone who says yes, they will take off their uniform. At the end of the movie Aldo corners [[spoiler:Hans Landa]], and asks him if he intends to take his uniform off. [[spoiler:Landa]], who knows what happened to the soldiers who said yes, refuses to answer. After a minute of silence, Aldo casually points out the FridgeLogic in the question by saying that nobody could actually keep wearing the same uniform every minute for the rest of their life, it simply wouldn't be practical, and at some point they'd have to take it off. He then carves a swastika in [[spoiler:Landa's]] forehead.

* ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3'': This is basically the end result of the High Evolutionary's utterly insane and illogical standards set for his creations. He's such a perfectionist, he's willing to wipe out entire planets inhabited by his creations for minor slights that he deems make them "inferior", but at the same time gets irrationally furious at Rocket for solving a problem that he could not (demonstrating that Rocket is smarter than him), ordering that Rocket be dissected, his friends incinerated, and mocks him for crying after killing one of them. So in the end, he hates it when his creations are both less ''and'' more intelligent than he is, and they must be killed either way.

However, since the plot had to keep going in the same direction lest it sprawl out of control and seriously overwork everyone involved, and the viewers obviously didn't want to miss out on the sex no matter what, these choices had virtually no real effect.
