** Also from the same movie, Rey finds the lightsaber that once belonged to both Anakin and Luke Skywalker in a basement in Maz Kanata's castle -- when she touches it, she has a harrowing Force-vision, experiencing Luke's trauma from his first fight with Vader, and several other painful memories, including what is probably her own worst memory: the moment she was left behind on Jakku. THEN Maz turns up, tells her plainly that the people who left her on Jakku are never coming back for her, and she should move on and look ahead for her "belonging" by embracing the Force, joining the fight and taking the old lightsaber. Rey is horrified at this -- she ends up fleeing from Maz's castle and into the woods in terror.

* In ''Film/TheOtherGuys'', March and Healy travel to [[spoiler: an airport hotel]] to look for clues, only to discover [[OneManArmy John Boy]] engaged in a shoot-out there. They silently and quickly leave before anyone notices they had arrived.

* During the chaotic final battle in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' villain Ronan's unenthusiastic accomplice Nebula decides she's had enough, steals a spacecraft and bails.

** At the climax of the same film, when Starkiller Base is beginning to self-destruct from the damage caused the Resistance attack, First Order officers start abandoning their posts in droves, ignoring orders from their superiors to stay where they are. One points out that even General Hux has already fled, so why shouldn't they? (In fact, Hux had gone to confer with Supreme Leader Snoke, who orders a VillainExitStageLeft.)

* In ''Film/AliceInWonderland'', the Cheshire Cat has this reaction when the card soldiers break up the mad tea party.

* In ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', Chris Bradley and John Wraith leave Team X shortly after Logan did after realizing he was right about Stryker and what they were doing.

* In ''{{Film/The Mummy|Trilogy}}'', at the battle over Hamunaptra, Rick O'Connell's superior officer drops his sword and rides away when an angry horde of Tuareg horsemen are charging his company. [[SycophanticServant Beni]] turns to Rick and says, "You just got promoted."

* [[spoiler:Duncan]] in ''Film/MysteryTeam''.

* In "Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark", the San Diego PD and Animal Control do this, coming around the corner in a fleet of vehicles reminiscent of the cavalry coming to save the day....riiight up until the T-Rex shows up and roars at them. ALL of them turn around or go into reverse so fast you can HEAR the collective "Oh Hell No" going through their heads.

* A whole lot of the [[RedShirt minor characters]] in the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' films wisely did this whenever they had the chance, including [[RedShirtArmy an entire factory full of workers]] when a truck full of liquid nitrogen crashed in through the door to their loading dock. Their survival rate tended to be a lot higher than that of most of the other characters.
** One really extreme example: a guy in a police helicopter saw the T-1000 in liquid metal form come ''flowing'' into the seat next to him and tell him to GetOut. He got out. They were at least 40 feet up in the air. Even probable death was preferable to staying in the chopper with that metallic guy.

** At the climax of the same film, when Starkiller Base is beginning to self-destruct from the damage caused the Resistance attack, First Order officers start abandoning their posts in drove, ignoring orders from their superiors to stay where they are. One even points out that even General Hux has already fled, so why shouldn't they? (In fact, Hux had gone to confer with Supreme Leader Snoke, who orders a VillainExitStageLeft.)

* In one of the outtakes of ''Film/TheAvengers'', the scene is Bruce Banner regarding the Leviathan, calmly Hulking out, and pounding its face into the pavement. Instead, Mark Ruffalo turns to the other Avengers, cries "DUDES, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!", and girly-runs off into the distance, while everyone else cracks up.

** ''Film/TheForceAwakens'': Stormtroopers round a corner to find [[spoiler:Kylo Ren hacking apart a room with his lightsaber while having a temper tantrum. They immediately back up and turn around.

* Hero example: Han Solo famously does this after delivering Luke and Leia to the Rebel base in ''Franchise/StarWars''. Naturally, [[ChangedMyMindKid he returns to save the day]]. He also says he's going to do this at the beginning of ''Empire'', saying he'd had enough of running into bounty hunters and wanted to get back to Jabba to pay him, but the Imperials attack the base before he's able to leave, forcing him to get involved with the film's conflict instead. Strangely, if you go by the ExpandedUniverse (which Disney has [[CanonDiscontinuity disavowed]] in preparation for the sequels), Han and Chewbacca have been hiding out with the Alliance for ''three years'', and have given up on trying to patch things up with Jabba (they were robbed by pirates while on their way to Jabba's palace just after the Battle of Yavin, and knew that [[NoSympathy Jabba wouldn't accept that as an excuse]]). To suggest that Han and Chewie had not caught the Rebellion bug by then, or at the very least had not developed affectionate feelings for Luke and Leia, is stretching credibility a little too far.
** In ''TheForceAwakens'', two Stormtroopers round a corner to find [[spoiler:Kylo Ren hacking apart a room with his lightsaber while having a temper tantrum]]. They [[CrowningMomentOfFunny immediately back up and turn around]].

* Another non-battle example: in ''Film/NothingButTrouble'', this is Chris' reaction upon seeing, in a news segment, that JP Alvin not only survived the destruction of Valkenvania, but also he announces that he and his family are planning to visit his "grandson-in-law". Chris literally runs out of the apartment, complete with a cartoonish hole in the wall, along with footsteps being heard.
