** And Colossus, despite being the super-strength action hero is a nice guy at heart and has never killed anybody. He instantly pukes at the sight.

* ''Film/DeathSentence'' zig-zags the trope. The film is a revenge tale which, instead of following the Everyman protagonist on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against the gang responsible for his son's death, has him kill the gang member who committed the murder and kick off a conflict that puts him, his wife and his other son in danger. However, in the climactic action scene he seems to have developed ImprobableAimingSkills while vastly outnumbered. Reality then ensues again when he's seen back in his house, mortally wounded. While he does manage to take out almost the entire gang singlehandedly, he sustains mortal wounds in the process and the movie ends with him returning home to bleed out.

* In ''Film/StarshipTroopers'', the human military uses [[WeHaveReserves infantry rush]] [[HollywoodTactics tactics]] [[FiveRoundsRapid without any kind of armor support]] and [[GeneralFailure without thought or reason]] under the mistaken belief that their opponents are just mindless insects. The first battle ends almost instantly in a rout, with 100,000 humans killed in the first ''hour''.

** While Charlotte is having sex with Joe in the bell tower, Kate falls into a river. Kate is a professional swimmer, but she had previously had several drinks with Charlotte (keep in mind she's a little kid) and is so drunk that she can barely stand. Thus, Kate is unable to swim and almost drowns.

** After having sex, the controversy surrounding Joe and Charlotte due to their ages (26-years-old and 15-years-old) causes Joe to have to relocate to another state. And possibly be registered as a sex offender. While Charlotte gains a sexual reputation at her school.

** Towards the end of the movie, Vinny invokes this trope on all of the major witnesses, discrediting them by simply using their own words against them via pointing out how reality works. For example, Vinny has one witness discredited after she says she saw his cousin committing the crime, only for Vinny to show the court that she's so near-sighted that she can't see even with her glasses on; all Vinny has to do is have someone at a distance ask how many fingers he's holding up. Another witness gets discredited after claiming he was cooking grits and saw the event happening, to which Vinny discredits by pointing out that grits take longer than five minutes to make because the piping system means it takes longer then ten minutes to get his food ready, and that unless somehow magic was involved, he couldn't have seen the events of the crime and have made grits at the same time. The last witness gets discredited when Vinny simply points out that there was no way he could of seen the crime take place, because not only did he have an incredibly dirty screen, he had several trees blocking the view.

* In ''Film/NotAnotherTeenMovie, Janie wins an exclusive scholarship to an art school in Paris, and the film's climax involves Jake racing to track her down at the airport to keep her from leaving. After Creator/MollyRingwald gives them both a ReasonYouSuckSpeech, Jake comes to his senses and tells her she ''should'' get on that plane, since Janie shouldn't pass on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and most high school sweethearts break up after graduation anyway. The movie ends with them breaking up on good terms.

** Ripley awakens 57 years after the events of [[Film/{{Alien}} the original film]], and expects that someone will believe her story based on her experiences, the fact that she's the SoleSurvivor and the damage caused by the xenomorph to the escape pod as it was ThrownOutTheAirlock. However, Weyland-Yutani executives, who have never encountered such a scenario, chalk it up to an industrial accident and revoke Ripley's flight license, forcing her to find menial work at Gateway Station's loading docks for several months to earn a living.
*** Not helping Ripley's case is the fact that the planet where the xenomorph was first encountered has been colonized for the past twenty-odd years, and not once had anyone reported encountering any lifeforms matching the xenomorph's description.

* ''Film/CountYorga''
** In an age where vampires are pretty commonplace in fiction, it doesn't take the protagonists long to consider the possibility that Yorga is one after seeing Erica's bite wounds and odd behavior. Of course they likewise are quick to doubt it too, since everything they've ever seen has told them that vampires are fictional.
** After Yorga kidnaps Erica, her boyfriend Paul goes to Yorga's manor in the hopes of saving her. Thing is, it's at night when Yorga is up and at his most active and he's a barely prepared human going up against supernatural monster. Unsurprisingly, Paul barely makes it inside before Yorga promptly chokes him to death and breaks his back for good measure. Even Hayes later lampshades how suicidal that move was.
** When Michael and Hayes are talking about vampires, Hayes is the first to admit they're quite tough, especially ones that have lived for centuries due to years of accumulated knowledge, combined with the supernatural strength. Which is why the two decided to attack him during the daytime. [[spoiler: It's only because Yorga hypnotized Donna into coming to him that forced their hand to coming at night. Hayes also notes that if Paul and Erica are indeed at the manor, it's likely they'll have become vampires since Yorga would waste no time draining the two, and if so, they'll have to kill them due to the fact they won't be the people they were anymore.]]
** Hayes's girlfriend convinces him to try and call the police when she cites a baby was found dead in a swamp with its neck chewed up. He attempts it, but but due to a rash of similar calls, they don't believe him.
** Hayes confronts Yorga after he brings him down into his throne room where his brides are sleeping [[spoiler: in which his friend Erica is now among them]]. Of course just because he studied up on vampires, doesn't mean he's mentally prepared for it and he becomes shaken when Yorga mockingly laughs at him. [[spoiler: Which end up leading to his death as he doesn't notices Yorga's brides awakening and creeping up on him.]]
** Micheal manages to kill Yorga in the final confrontation [[spoiler:, but this doesn't bring back Erica and the unnamed woman. They were ''drained'' of their blood and are more or less dead, which was confirmed when Hayes checked Erica earlier in the throne room and couldn't find a heartbeat. Even with Yorga gone, there was no way to bring them back to who they were as humans, since the window to do so had long closed and the women are now just walking fanged corpses. Likewise, killing Yorga doesn't prevent his brides from coming after Micheal.]]

** Trying to parachute to a convoy in a city against winds is a bad idea if you don't have luck on your side or HealingFactor to take the damage. [[spoiler:Just ask most of the X-Force. They all die.]]

** The only reason the Graboids were so scary in the first film was because they were creatures that no one knew how to kill, and the characters only succeeded in doing so either by accident or [[IndyPloy improvised thinking]]. Come the next film however, and Earl is able to kill many more Grabroids than the first film's four in less than a quarter of the time because he has experience, the know-how to kill them, and a lot of explosives courtesy of the Government. In fact, this becomes recurring element in the franchise; while the humans will initially be stumped by the Graboids' new forms, once they learn about their strengths and weaknesses, they'll have an easier time killing them.

** Shooting a car won’t make it explode. Averted with the chicken truck.

* In ''Film/MysteryMen'', JokerImmunity and [[CardboardPrison Cardboard Prisons]] don't exist. When Captain Amazing complains about the quality of the villains he fights and asks about his old rogues gallery, he learns that all of them are exiled, dead, or serving life sentences.
** As a {{Deconstruction}} of superhero movies, there's quite a bit of reality going on in this movie. Such as the superheroes in town, 99% of whom are losers in silly costumes, or the fact that the heroes spend 2/3 of the movie getting repeatedly beaten up, since they're in way over their heads.

** In the process of becoming Deadpool, Wade spends a lot of time snarking at Ajax in between tortures. When his powers finally activate, Ajax decides to torture him again in retaliation.

** Blind Al [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin (who is blind)]] tries to assemble Ikea furniture. The instructions for those are pictures. When he's done, the piece of furniture is not stable.
** At the very end of the film [[spoiler:Deadpool has Ajax at his mercy and with no reason left to keep him alive is ready to finally kill him, but Colossus attempts to talk Wade out of it. Unfortunately for Colossus, talking ''isn't'' a free action for him as Deadpool shoots Ajax dead in the middle of his speech.]]

** Harlan's elaborate plan [[spoiler: to prevent Marta from being a suspect]] is straight out a murder mystery but [[spoiler: Marta]] is a civilian with no training so it is inevitable that snags will happen, such as [[spoiler: Marta getting caught on camera and her slipping on the trellis and breaking a piece of wood.]]
