* One scene in ''Film/SuperMarioBros'' features Koopa ordering pizza. The guy taking his order even treats him like any other customer, even though the guy can see that he's the [[BigBad despotic dictator]] ruling his city with an iron fist. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment The scene serves absolutely no purpose]].

* ''GangsOfNewYork'' has a TruceZone example in the form of Satan's Circus, the rowdy tavern on the Five Points where all of the locals - including the gang members, who have agreed not to attack each other there - can go to take part in immoral and probably illegal but not exactly villainous activities, like drinking themselves stupid or gambling on dogfights. Amsterdam Vallon even walks in at the same time a group of [[StreetPerformer Street Performers]] decide to come inside, playing fiddles and singing folk tunes to everyone's delight. The Nativists play cards at a table off in the corner - although Bill ''does'' stab one of his men in the hand. And Amsterdam and another one of Bill's men wind up having a trivial argument and agree to settle the matter with a vicious fight.

* Played with in Creator/TimBurton's ''Film/{{Batman}}''. The Joker and his gang visit an art museum. No, they're not there to rob the place; nor do they kill anybody (though they do temporarily put them to sleep with knockout gas). All they want to do is admire the paintings and sculptures...that they are [[MadArtist "improving" by crudely splashing them with paint, slashing them, breaking them, etc]]. But then, of course, the Joker's ''true'' reason for going to the museum is revealed: [[spoiler: he had lured Vicki Vale there by pretending to be Bruce Wayne inviting her to dinner at the museum café, with the intention of kidnapping her or torturing her, or both; Batman's rescue attempt is how he and Vicki end up meeting.]]

** ''Film/KillBill'' has a couple of points where members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad are shown after they give up their life of assassination: getting married, working as a bouncer at a local nightclub, and [[spoiler: raising a daughter]]. This is between assassination attempts and bone crunching ninja mayhem.
