* Deconstructed in the Korean war film, ''Film/SeventyOneIntoTheFire''. The protagonist, a Korean student volunteer leading a platoon of 71 junior soldiers, have been taught by propaganda to see the North Koreans as "animals"... until the students ends up ambushing a platoon of North Koreans one night. After killing every enemy, they then check their kills, only to realize the North Koreans are ''youngsters'', roughly the same age as them, with a mortally wounded survivor [[IMissMom pleading for his mother]] before they're forced to pull a MercyKill. At which point the student soldiers realize the North Koreans are people, too, with the protagonist returning to his bunk and ripping off a propaganda poster depicting North Koreans as savage animals.

* ''Franchise/StarWars'' tends to be subject to this trope, extending mercy to Darth Vader and his ilk while casually murdering his employees. (Granted, it should be noted that with Vader, many of the heroes would be willing to kill him on the spot if they could--including Luke, and the only reason Luke stopped was that he learned that Vader was his father. If Luke didn't have that inherent connection with Vader, he would still likely be treated as a full-on villainous servant of the Emperor that must be defeated, he still just happens to be the most powerful of them.)

* In ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'', Deadpool cheerfully -- emphasis on ''cheerfully'' (or at least with vindictive pleasure) roughly doubles his "confirmed kills" since his days in Special Forces working his way through Ajax's organization; however, at his lair the idea zig-zags when he offers the on-site guards a chance of "preferential... gentle... almost lover-like treatment" and they don't take kindly to that. ''Then'' it's katanas out and limbs flying until a moment near the end when he personally recognizes "Bob" and their dialogue implies they knew each other before so that one gets off with a [[TapOnTheHead headbutt]].

** That being said, Deadpool doesn't fall into the other half of this trope. During the climax, Colossus tries to convince him to become a hero by "sparing an enemy", namely, a defeated [[BigBad Ajax]] who Deadpool has at gunpoint. [[spoiler: Deadpool blows his brains out before Colossus even finishes the speech.]]

* In ''Film/SamuraiIIDuelAtIchijojiTemple'', Musashi is presented as having achieved enlightenment and become a true samurai when he doesn't kill Seijuro Yoshioka after defeating him in their duel at the climax - this despite the fact that he'd killed roughly a hundred other warriors of the Yoshioka school over the course of the film, '''seventy''' of them while on the way to that duel that very evening.

* {{Discussed|Trope}} in ''Film/{{Clerks}}'', when Dante and Randall are talking about the thousands of innocent contractors that [[FridgeHorror must have been]] blown up when [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi the second Death Star]] was destroyed. They are then interrupted by a man who works putting up drywall who tells them about how he was offered a substantial amount of money to work on a gangster's house. He refused, but let one of his friends know, and he took the job. Later, a rival gang pulled up to the house and murdered his friend and everyone on his team trying to whack the gangster -- ''who wasn't even home''.

He goes on to elaborate that like him and his unlucky friend, the contractors knew the risks and weren't entirely innocent as their personal politics likely played a factor.
