37	* In ''{{Film/Bridesmaids}}'', Annie stupidly inflicts food poisoning on herself and the other ladies before they visit a bridal dress shop.

45	* In ''I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell'', Tucker and Connie drink beer with ''laxatives'' at a bar by some girls who got harassed by Tucker and wanted revenge on him.

46	* In ''Film/JackAndJill'', Jill's stomach growls five times when talking to Felipe after eating a bunch of chimichangas, which caused her to have a horrible case of gas, followed by diarrhea.
47	* In ''Judy Moody and the Not-Bummer Summer'', Judy and Frank want to ride the Scream Monster roller coaster, but Frank is carrying so much food that he's not allowed to ride it, so he eats ''all'' of the food quickly and is allowed on.

53	* In ''Film/Movie43'', Doug's stomach gurgles and rumbles obnoxiously in the segment ''The Proportion'' after drinking a large meal and drinking a bottle of laxatives, ''definitely'' not a good idea for him to do to impress Julie.
54	* In the first minutes of ''[[Film/Neighbors2014 Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising]]'', while Mac and Kelly having a hilariously sex fail, Kelly starts burping and her stomach rumbles repeatedly while learning out she's pregnant again... when, moments later, she vomits on Mac's ''face'', much to his hilarious disgust.
55	* In the ''Series/SexAndTheCity'' movie, while the girls are vacationing in Mexico, Charlotte accidentally drinks some tap water while she’s taking a shower.[[note]]ItMakesSenseInContext. In Mexico, tap water isn't recommended for drinking.[[/note]] Her stomach noisily gurgles a bunch of times as she rushes back to the hotel to use the bathroom.

56	* In ''Film/StandByMe'', when Gordie tells the story about Lardass Hogan. Just before the projectile vomiting starts...

63	* The Dutch film ''Beyond Sleep'' does an interesting variation of this: in one scene, Alfred has a dream in which he climbs a hilly landscape while the faint sounds of breathing and heart beats can be heard. He walks over to a hole in the ground where he hears running water and begins digging, each strike of his pickax causing the ground beneath him to audibly slosh for some reason. The hilly landscape turns out to be [[spoiler:a [[{{Fanservice}} naked]] GiantWoman and [[ThatsNoMoon the area where he was digging was her gurgling stomach]]]].
64	* In ''Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'', loud, repetitive and ominous gurgling noises can be heard in Violet's stomach due to juices forming during her transformation into a blueberry.

68	* Serleena's stomach can be heard noisily churning and sloshing with each step she takes, as it digests the mugger she's just SwallowedWhole in the opening of ''Film/MenInBlackII''.
