* ''Film/Deadpool2016'' doesn't so much break the fourth wall as take a bulldozer to the wall, burn it, and then explode the [[Music/CelineDion ashes]].
-->'''Deadpool:''' ''[breaking the fourth wall in a flashback that he's already narrating to the audience]'' Fourth wall-break inside a fourth wall-break. That's like... ''sixteen walls''!
* In ''Film/DeadpoolNoGoodDeed'', when Creator/StanLee makes his standard cameo and says "Wow, nice suit!" during Deadpool's charge, Deadpool stops and shouts "Zip it, Stan Lee!" before continuing to run towards the scene of the crime he was trying to stop.
* A brief example with Creator/KurtRussell in the ''Film/DeathProof'' portion of ''Film/{{Grindhouse}}''. [[http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m263/sdwrenn/russel-dp.jpg Anybody who's seen it knows that this doesn't bode well]].



* ''Film/SupermanTheMovie'':
** This film and all of its sequels always shows Superman looking and smiling at the audience as he flies away.
** In an earlier scene, Clark and Lois are in danger of being mugged, but disaster is averted when the gun seemingly misses her and the crook dashes off. Clark collapses, but it soon turns out he only fainted in shock from the gunshot. When Lois turns away, annoyed, Clark opens his hand to reveal he caught the bullet before it hit her and gives the audience his classic "Just between you and me" sort of smile.



* At the end of ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' [[spoiler: Deadpool fishes his severed head out of the rubble, [[BreakingTheFourthWall looks straight at the audience, puts a finger to his lips and says "Shhh"]].]]

* Perhaps the earliest film example is ''Film/TheGreatTrainRobbery'' (1903), which ends with a shot of a gunslinger shooting at the camera, causing many in the audience to duck for cover, as they actually thought they were going to get shot.
