* Stopping a DropShip evacuation is one of your driving motivations at the end of ''VideoGame/MechWarrior 4: Vengeance'' and ''Black Knight''. Both instances include a member of the Steiner military arm who has wronged you in some way [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere attempting to make a break for it and leave someone else to clean up the mess]]. In ''Vegenace'', Marcus Roland doesn't even get to fire up his engines before Ian Dresari turns his ship into kindling around him. Major Clarissa Dupres in ''Black Knight'' is a bit quicker to realize things have gone south and attempts to flee to space using an orbital pod, but she fatally underestimates the Black Knight Legion's vendetta--by sticking around to run her mouth, she gives them just enough time to focus a large laser on her position, vaporizing Dupres and her pod in a single shot.

* ''VideoGame/ArmA'' can have missions set up in such a way that a team will need to physically leave the mission zone in order to wrap the operation. Sometimes this can be done by finding a handy convoy of trucks, but often this involves getting out on an evac chopper. The problem is that vehicles have health bars, and can be destroyed if they take enough damage (such as from a rocket-propelled grenade). [[https://youtu.be/MZuvRiyIh6c?feature=shared&t=330 One infamous moment]] from Creator/ShackTactical has [[ThatOnePlayer Dslyecxi]] [[OneManArmy alone against an entire enemy platoon]], and ''winning,'' to the point that the surviving platoon officer calls for evac. That plan doesn't last long as Dslyecxi promptly commandeers their anti-aircraft gun emplacement and puts a high-explosive shell straight through the Bird that had been the platoon's only chance to exfiltrate, much to the horror and amusement of the other Shack Tac members on comms.

* ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': Narrowly {{subverted}} in Antarctica. After the [[Characters/MonsterVerseHumans eco-terrorists]] blow the glacier holding [[SealedEvilInACan Ghidorah]], they get back on their stolen Monarch Osprey and start getting the hell out of dodge with Ghidorah waking up. Thanks to [[TokenGoodTeammate Madison]] rebelling while everyone else is off-guard and trying to save the heroes' lives with the ORCA, Ghidorah ''almost'' shoots the eco-terrorists' Osprey out of the sky, but Emma shuts the device down and Ghidorah turns his attention back to the human heroes while the terrorists escape.
