Um...since this apparently has been expanded to be "Guy has other guy in headlock and is dominating", there's a ton of examples to add.

* In the first movie of ''Film/TheMatrix'' franchise, Agent Smith puts Neo in a headlock while awaiting an oncoming train to hit them both.  Since Smith can BodySurf when his current avatar is killed, this would only ''permanently'' kill Neo.  Neo escapes, however, by jumping to the ceiling and smashing Smith into it, and then flipping out of the way just in time to avoid the train.
* In ''Film/ManOfSteel'', the climactic fight [[spoiler:ends with Superman placing Zod in a headlock.  Apparently unable to escape it, Zod responds by turning his EyeBeams on a helpless human family, in order to force Superman to perform a NeckSnap.]]

Although, if you want me to be honest, the headlock punch trope was much more focused.  This one can basically be used for any situation where someone has another opponent in a headlock and has control (even if briefly).  In FightingGames alone, you'll have a crazy amount of examples.  Jackie from VirtuaFighter, Heihachi from Tekken, Dhalsim from StreetFighter, just to name a few.
