Tear Jerker: Small Soldiers

Watch

"Nick Nitro's battery has run out. But his memory will live on!"
- The final scene.
Meta example, this was Phil Hartman's last movie before his wife killed him.
Minor and subverted later on but Troglokahn's destruction caused Archer to lament in grief. Subverted, because the gorgonites fix him.
