* ''Film/TheAbyss'': When Lindsey is trying to get the rest of the crew to believe her about the [[spoiler:underwater aliens]], Hippy, the resident conspiracy nut, goes into his usual ConspiracyKitchenSink speech. This results in a zinger:
-->'''Lindsey:''' Hippy, do me a favor? Stay off my side.
* In ''Film/AllOfMe'', Roger provides a concise summary of the ways that Edwina, whose soul has been trapped inside his body for a large part of the film, has tried to help him, and the less-than-desirable effects this has had:
-->'''Roger:''' Since you started helping me, in the last twenty-four hours, I've lost my girl, my job, I've alienated my dog! I broke my sunglasses! You can't even ''get'' that kind anymore. ''Stop helping me''!!
* Creator/JackieChan's Passepartout in the [[Film/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays2004 2004 adaptation]] of ''Literature/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays'' yelled to Fogg to stop trying to help, in the middle of a big fight with multiple opponents.
* ''Film/BlazingSaddles'': Lyle had no use for Bart's extra information:
-->'''Bart:''' Uh, excuse me, sir? [Taggart] specifically requested two ''niggers''? To tell a family secret, my grandmother was Dutch.\\
'''Lyle:''' Git on that handcart and take it to the end of that line!\\
'''Bart:''' Just tryin' to help.\\
'''Lyle:''' ''GIT!''
* In Creator/JohnWoo's ''[[Film/BrokenArrow1996 Broken Arrow]]'', the BigBad tells one of his henchmen, with gritted teeth, "Would you mind not shooting at the thermonuclear weapons?" when they're in a fight with the main protagonist.
* In the 2017 film ''Churchill'', about the titular prime minister of the UK in the run-up to D-Day, Churchill--who has spent the film worrying that the Allied invasion of Normandy will result in needless Allied deaths, while their senior commanders are never exposed to danger--gets it into his head that he's going to take part in the invasion himself, by observing it from one of the participating ships, [=HMS=] Belfast, and he manages to rope King George VI into accompanying him. However, wiser heads[[note]]including General Dwight Eisenhower and Churchill's wife Clementine[[/note]] prevail, and George VI, having been persuaded offscreen that it's a terrible idea, has a scene where he tactfully points out to Churchill that they'll just be in the way, and that their possible deaths would be far worse for the war effort than any brief boost they might provide to the troops' morale. This works when he makes the ultimate appeal to Churchill's sense of duty. (This was TruthInTelevision: Churchill ''did'' want to observe Operation Overlord, he did persuade George VI to do it with him, and George VI did change his mind and tell Churchill that it was a bad idea.)
* ''Film/DanceOfTheDead'': The Sci-Fi club loudly yell out for Steven to ask Gwen out right as he's awkwardly trying to deny association with them while talking to her.
* ''Film/TheDarkKnight'': Batman doesn't want copycats' help in taking down Scarecrow and his customers:
-->'''Juvenile vigilantes:''' ''(after being tied up by Batman)'' We're trying to help you!
* In ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'', James Bond switches out a real computer tape for a fake one to derail a villain's plan... only to find that his latest BondGirl, out to be helpful, ''also'' switched the tapes.
-->'''James Bond:''' You stupid twit, you put the real one back!
* ''Film/HighSchoolHigh'': When Victoria [[ActionGirl is winning a fight with a thug]], Richard tries to heroically swoop in but ends up hitting Victoria more than her opponent.
* In ''Film/HudsonHawk'', Anna tries to help Eddie (Creator/BruceWillis), who's fighting BattleButler Alfred, with a gun. Unfortunately, she's never fired a gun before. Her first shot '''ricochets off Eddie's belt buckle''', causing him to quote the Fifth Commandment.[[note]] ''"THOU SHALT NOT KILL! THOU SHALT NOT KILL!"'' (It's the Fifth Commandment in Catholicism, and in this film ChristianityIsCatholic)[[/note]] Her next shot wings him, causing him to exclaim "Stop helping me!".
* In ''Film/KissKissBangBang'', Harry manages to blurt this out a few times to Gay Perry, who is fiercely pissing off the thug who has some [[ElectricTorture electrodes]] attached to Harry's [[GroinAttack googlies]].
* Neo holds this attitude towards "Kid" in the sequels to ''Film/TheMatrix''.
* Sir Robin's minstrels in ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'' praise him as a hero to potential enemies he'd rather run away from.
** There's also this exchange when Sir Lancelot shows up to "save" Sir Galahad from the "peril" of eight score blondes and brunettes between the ages of 16 and 19½:
--->'''Lancelot:''' We were in the nick of time! You were in great peril.\\
'''Galahad:''' I don't think I was.\\
'''Lancelot:''' Yes you were, you were in terrible peril!\\
'''Galahad:''' Look, let me go back in there and face the peril.\\
'''Lancelot:''' No, it's too perilous.\\
'''Galahad:''' It's my duty as a knight to sample as much peril as I can!\\
'''Lancelot:''' No, we've got to find the Holy Grail. Come on!\\
'''Galahad:''' Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril?\\
'''Lancelot:''' No. It's unhealthy.\\
'''Galahad:''' ...Bet you're gay.\\
'''Lancelot:''' Am not!
* Throughout the first ''Film/OnceUponATimeInChina'' movie, Wong Fei-Hung is facing considerable legal difficulties with the authorities, ultimately resulting in him being arrested. These difficulties are entirely the fault of his students recklessly brawling with the local gang and trying to help their teacher without thinking anything through, resulting in Fei-Hung getting blamed for the disruption and property damage they cause as their leader.
* ''Film/TheProducers'': In the original movie, when Leo Bloom stands up at their trial to speak in Max Bialystock's defense, he starts by listing all of Max's faults and shortcomings. "Stop helping me," Max says.
* In ''Film/SenseAndSensibility'', Marianne and Brandon are starting to become friendly with each other, until (as noted in Emma Thompson's commentary) Mrs. Jennings tries to push them together. This only causes Brandon to be embarrassed and Marianne to draw back sharply due to her dislike of Mrs. Jennings. Soon after she falls hard for [[WrongGuyFirst Willoughby]].
* In ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'', friends' help is just as likely to hurt, to the point of a RunningGag. During Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" scene, Diane 'helps' Shaun fend off a zombie bartender by throwing darts, with mixed success.
-->'''Shaun:''' ''[after Diane scores a hit]''' ''Yes! In the head! [[AmusingInjuries Aaaaow]]!''
* ''Franchise/StarWars'': This is the heroes' initial reaction to Lando getting them out of Cloud City's prisons:
-->'''Lando:''' ''[while being strangled by Chewbacca]'' Just trying to help...

* In ''Film/TrueLies'', Gib is trying to help Harry get over his wife cheating on him [[spoiler:(she isn't, but Harry thinks she is)]]:
-->'''Harry Tasker:''' Stop cheering me up!
