* ''Film/PlayDirty'' follows a British special forces squad out to destroy a Nazi fuel depot during the North African Campaign. The depot turns out to be a decoy, but they find a real one nearby in Benghazi and attempt to destroy that one; one of them trips an alarm, and the entire squad is killed except for the two commanding officers. Then it turns out that while they were on their mission the German lines collapsed and the commandos made it to the city less than a day before the actual British Army, rendering the entire mission pointless. Then the surviving officers get gunned down by a British soldier in an accidental UnfriendlyFire incident. Roll credits.

* ''Film/AnAmericanWerewolfInLondon'' is about as literal an example as it gets. If there is a cure for lycanthropy, no one ever finds out about it. David transforms again before he is able to do anything about his condition and goes on a short-lived rampage in London before he is cornered in an alleyway and shot to death. Alex's love is unable to help him, David dies failing to accomplish anything meaningful over the course of the movie besides kill several innocents, and the mystery of the werewolves in the moors remains unsolved. Cue credits.

* ''Film/BlackDeath'': The group arrives to the village and discover the inhabitants are actually heretics. They are then drugged and when they wake up the whole group is killed off one by one in horrific ways and Osmund is tricked into killing his lover. In the end only Osmund and one other member of the party survive, with Osmund's faith horribly shaken. We then discover that the whole film was probably Osmund's StartOfDarkness as we get an epilogue showing that Osmund abandoned being a monk to search the land for the main witch, torturing and killing any girl that looks like her, and even ones that definitely ''don't''.

* ''Film/TheKiller'': The protagonists bring down the Triad boss Hay Wong Hoi, but the protagonist Ah Jong dies before he can reach his goal, to raise enough money for the eye transplant of the singer Jennie, who he blinded in the movie's first shootout. Not only that, his Plan B of having her use his eyes falls flat when that's where Wong Hoi shoots him. And in a sense of PyrrhicVictory, the other protagonist, the CowboyCop Li Ying, is arrested by his fellow officers when he finally guns down Wong Hoi to avenge his friend and keep the villain from [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney getting away with it all]] because he had done so right in front of them in cold blood after Wong Hoi had surrendered to them, so he can't use the money to have Jennie's eyes fixed either. When John Woo piles on the tragedy, he piles it ''on''.
