History ButForMeItWasTuesday / LiveActionFilms

** This hasn't stopped some from theorizing that maybe Batman was wrong, however.

* In ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', Harvey Dent is infuriated that ComicBook/TheJoker can't even remember Rachel Dawes' name just hours after kidnapping her and blowing her to pieces, [[ManipulativeBastard although there's a strong probability that the Joker was just doing it to provoke him]].

* A rare heroic example in ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''; Spider-Man helps so many people on a daily basis that he doesn't remember Max Dillon until Max reminds him of that day. Technically speaking, Spider-Man does in fact remember Max, just not his name, and Max's transformation into Electro hasn't exactly made him easier to recognize.

* The {{trope namer|s}} is the ''Film/StreetFighter'' movie, where Chun-Li tells M. Bison [[YouKilledMyFather about how he killed her father.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVzAMmpMra8 The immortal reply is also the page quote.]] This quote was recycled in the game ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' as Bison's taunt. And in ''[[VideoGame/ProjectXZone Project X Zone 2]]'', [[VideoGame/VirtuaFighter Pai Chan]] [[BorrowedCatchphrase uses this quote]] in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BONV1OjMJM4&t=12 post-battle dialogue]] if she's paired with Chun-Li and [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Xiaoyu]].

* ''Film/ICareALot'': Marla thinks nothing of imprisoning the old lady from the beginning in a psychiatric ward and keeping her from her son; it's not even the worst thing she does. Then he shows up and kills her because his mother died without ever seeing him again.

** Notably, most overlook the follow-up line from Chun-Li, where she retorts, "It was Wednesday, YouMonster" It only highlights both the scene and this trope more than ever by showing that Bison picked a random day in the week because he simply ''did not give a damn.''

** Drax of ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' lost his family to antagonist Ronan the Accuser. When the two finally meet, a CurbStompBattle ensues wherein Ronan states that he has no memory of killing Drax's family... and that he will probably not remember killing Drax, either. [[spoiler: In a later confrontation Ronan claims to have since recalled killing Drax's family (and cruelly remarks how he remembers how their "screams were pitiful"), though this could very well have been an effort to enrage Drax further. Tellingly, he mentions no other details.]]

** PlayedWith in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'': [[spoiler:When facing off against 2014!Thanos, a pissed-off Wanda tells him that he took everything away from her. 2014!Thanos seems to think that it's this trope, bluntly telling her that he doesn't even know who she is; however, the audience knows that this version of Thanos has actually never met Wanda, and that she's referring to the (long-dead) Thanos she fought in ''Infinity War''.]]

** Played straight in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', as [[spoiler:Hulk using the Infinity Stones to bring back those Snapped brings back Wanda Maximoff, who is very furious at Thanos for killing the Vision in the last movie. She roars that he took everything from her, to which he replies, "I don't even know who you are." Which, to his credit, is actually true, because this Thanos is from several years in the past and this really is his first time meeting Wanda. Wanda just tells him, "You ''will''," before opening up a can of whoop-ass]].

%%Bison wasn't be literal when he said it was Tuesday. He just picked a day of the week at random.

She roars that he took everything from her, with Thanos replying that he didn't know who she was -- given that this is a Thanos from earlier in the timeline, it makes sense. Doesn't deter Wanda as her next words, before opening a can of whoop-ass is "You ''will''."]]

* An unusual inversion in ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'': Khan stayed up every night for twenty years dreaming of revenge against Captain James T. Kirk; Kirk likely hadn't thought of Khan at all after he filed his report to Starfleet on the Space Seed incident. The fact that Kirk and Starfleet never checked up on the new colony, essentially abandoning them to die when a natural disaster hit, is a big part of ''why'' he's out for revenge.

* ''Film/Shazam2019'': Subverted. When Thaddeus Sivana was a child, he was taken to the Rock of Eternity and scouted as a potential successor for the wizard Shazam's powers, but was kicked out when he failed the test of character. When Sivana is an adult, he manages to find the Rock of Eternity and confronts Shazam to seek revenge. Sivana says he would understand if Shazam didn't remember him since it had been 45 years since they had met and the wizard had been testing and rejecting hundreds of potential successors through the years. To his surprise, Shazam recognizes him and recalls their first meeting.

* In ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', Harvey Dent is infuriated that ComicBook/TheJoker can't even remember Rachel Dawes' name just hours after kidnapping her and blowing her to pieces, [[MagnificentBastard although there's a strong probability that the Joker was just doing it to provoke him]].
