* ''Film/CurseOfTheGoldenFlower'': After the Emperor's youngest son kills the heir to the throne, his father [[spoiler:pulls off his massive solid-gold belt and beats him with it, continuing to beat his corpse long after he's dead]]. His creepy little laugh doesn't help.
* ''Film/FridayThe13thTheFinalChapter'': After Jason Voorhees has slaughtered everyone but Tommy and Trish Jarvis, he hunts them down to one of the lodges. Trish is able to knock his mask off while Tommy ''[[EyeScream lodges Jason's own machete in his eye]]'', bringing him down. But when the monster's fingers start to twitch, Tommy, a 12 year old boy, finally snaps from all the carnage and bludgeons Jason over and over with the machete, maniacally screaming "'''DIE!!!! DIE!!! DIE!!!'''" in one of the most extreme versions in any horror film. And it actually ''does'' kill Jason, at least until fan demand brought him back.
* ''Film/TheGodfather'': Carlo physically abuses Sonny's sister. Sonny then tracks down Carlo and attacks him in broad daylight. He uses his fists, his feet, Carlo's shoes, and a nearby metal trashcan (which is brought down smack on Carlo's head). All of this happens in public, and a crowd watches while Sonny's goons keep them from interfering. Carlo is left barely alive in a nearby puddle.
* ''Film/LayerCake'': The protagonist's cohort, Morty, an otherwise perfectly calm and stoic character, suddenly beats Freddie Hurst, a former partner in crime, half to death after having his BerserkButton toyed with just a little too much. A ''major'' goofup of Hurst caused Morty to end up in prison for ten years, and the guy, now a tramp, foolishly asked Morty if he could pay him a meal.
* ''Film/LockStockAndTwoSmokingBarrels'': [[AlwaysABiggerFish Big Chris]] gets ahold of Dog after endangering his son in a crash after his failed carjacking. Then Bullet-Tooth Tony is [[ActorAllusion introduced doing this]] in ''{{Film/Snatch}}''.
* ''Film/{{Poltergeist|1982}}'': A poltergeist has been terrorizing the house, and there's a horrible clown doll in Robbie's room that he just hates. Just when everything seems okay, [[spoiler:the clown comes to life, sneaks up on Robbie, and attempts to suffocate him. Robbie overcomes the clown, throws it on the bed, and tears it apart, screaming, "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!"]].
* ''Franchise/{{Saw}}''
** ''Film/SawI'': After being captured, told he must dismember himself to escape, being subjected to intense psychological torture, and watching Lawrence cut his own foot off, Adam screams his head off while bashing in Zep's head with a toilet lid.
** Subverted in ''Film/SawII'', when Eric beats up the already-suffering Jigsaw, but Jigsaw gets the last laugh.
* ''Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'': Judge Turpin lusts after Lucy, the wife of successful barber Benjamin, so the corrupt judge sends Benjamin to a foreign prison on false charges. Fifteen years later, Benjamin escapes, changes his name to Sweeney, and embarks on his quest to kill the Judge who framed him and, as he now knows, raped his wife and stole his daughter. After murdering countless innocents and everyone who gets in his way, Sweeney [[spoiler:finally finds the judge at his mercy. He [[NoDoubtTheYearsHaveChangedMe reveals his true identity]] and, with a cry of fury, uses his barber's razor to slice up the judge]].
* In ''Film/PunisherWarZone'', Frank delivers a brutal beatdown to [[spoiler:Jigsaw]] in revenge for him killing [[spoiler:Microchip]].
* The protagonist of ''Film/JoshuuSasori'' has a tendency to inflict knife wounds to people she really hates that are clearly painful but not immediately fatal, while silently [[DeathGlare snarling her contempt and loathing at them]] -- over and over again, until her staggering victim finally keels over.
* From Marie[[spoiler:'s perspective]] in ''Film/HighTension'' when she manages to gain the upper hand against the killer and viciously bludgeons his face with a thick wooden stake wrapped in rusty barbed wire.
* Creator/VinDiesel's character in ''Film/AManApart'' snaps and beats a man to death while he's supposed to be undercover.
* ''Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug'': In Mirkwood, Bilbo drops the Ring and finds that a smaller GiantSpider ''grazed'' its leg upon it. Bilbo's response? Brutally stab the hell out of the spider in an UnstoppableRage, before picking up the ring and going "Mine." He's visibly shocked after that, and ends up gazing at the Ring and the scene in horror.
* ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'': Sarah gives Doug, the security guard who had [[LecherousLicking licked her face]] earlier after strapping her to her bed, one of these when she escapes. She beats him senseless with a broken broom handle, eventually breaking it in half across the back of his neck.
* In ''Film/{{Flash Point|2007}}'', one of the gangsters takes a young girl hostage to stave off Ma, then throws her aside hard enough that she has BloodFromTheMouth as he flees. Once Ma runs him down, what follows [[CurbStompBattle can only very generously be called a "fight"]], and ends with an extended take of the camera just barely covering the gangster's fallen form as Ma just Keeps. On. Punching.
* At the end of ''[[Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjay "Mockingjay: part 2,"]]'' Katniss is supposed to [[spoiler: execute [[BigBad President Snow,]] but kills Coin instead, after finding out how [[FullCircleRevolution she wanted to rebuild Panem.]]]] As she is led away, [[spoiler: a crowd of thousands of spectators rush Snow, and beat him as he [[DiedLaughing laughs at Katniss' action.]]]]
* ''Film/IpMan2'': Once Ip manages to get the Twister in a clinch at his mercy, he coldly rains down punches again and again on said villain's face, juxtaposed against the villain's NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of Master Hung earlier.
* Dominic Toretto's use of this trope is the "Furious" in ''Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious''.
** After his father had died in a crash during a race, Dom caught the driver who caused the crash and repeatedly bashed his face in with a heavy wrench to the point where he lost an eye.
** As Johnny Tran accuses Dom of ratting him out to the police (Dom doesn't know yet that his new friend "Brian Earl Spilner" is [[TheInfiltration an undercover cop]]), Dom beats him down and keeps punching him in a fit of rage.
** The reason why this doesn't continue in the sequels is probably because Dom increasingly faces powerful opponents or downright nemeses rather than victims.
* ''Film/TheFugitive'': Towards the end, Kimble gives two of these: one to the one-armed man who murdered his wife, and another to [[spoiler:Nichols, his longtime colleague who arranged the hit on him.]]

* ''Film/LockStockAndTwoSmokingBarrels'': [[AlwaysABiggerFish Big Chris]] gets ahold of Dog after endangering his son in a crash after his failed carjacking. Then Bullet-Tooth Tony is [[ActorAllusion introduced doing this]] in ''{{Film/Snatch}}''.
* ''Film/{{Poltergeist|1982}}'': A poltergeist has been terrorizing the house, and there's a horrible clown doll in Robbie's room that he just hates. Just when everything seems okay, [[spoiler:the clown comes to life, sneaks up on Robbie, and attempts to suffocate him. Robbie overcomes the clown, throws it on the bed, and tears it apart, screaming, "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!"]].
* ''Franchise/{{Saw}}''
** ''Film/SawI'': After being captured, told he must dismember himself to escape, being subjected to intense psychological torture, and watching Lawrence cut his own foot off, Adam screams his head off while bashing in Zep's head with a toilet lid.
** Subverted in ''Film/SawII'', when Eric beats up the already-suffering Jigsaw, but Jigsaw gets the last laugh.
* ''Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'': Judge Turpin lusts after Lucy, the wife of successful barber Benjamin, so the corrupt judge sends Benjamin to a foreign prison on false charges. Fifteen years later, Benjamin escapes, changes his name to Sweeney, and embarks on his quest to kill the Judge who framed him and, as he now knows, raped his wife and stole his daughter. After murdering countless innocents and everyone who gets in his way, Sweeney [[spoiler:finally finds the judge at his mercy. He [[NoDoubtTheYearsHaveChangedMe reveals his true identity]] and, with a cry of fury, uses his barber's razor to slice up the judge]].
* In ''Film/PunisherWarZone'', Frank delivers a brutal beatdown to [[spoiler:Jigsaw]] in revenge for him killing [[spoiler:Microchip]].
* The protagonist of ''Film/JoshuuSasori'' has a tendency to inflict knife wounds to people she really hates that are clearly painful but not immediately fatal, while silently [[DeathGlare snarling her contempt and loathing at them]] -- over and over again, until her staggering victim finally keels over.
* From Marie[[spoiler:'s perspective]] in ''Film/HighTension'' when she manages to gain the upper hand against the killer and viciously bludgeons his face with a thick wooden stake wrapped in rusty barbed wire.
* Creator/VinDiesel's character in ''Film/AManApart'' snaps and beats a man to death while he's supposed to be undercover.
* ''Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug'': In Mirkwood, Bilbo drops the Ring and finds that a smaller GiantSpider ''grazed'' its leg upon it. Bilbo's response? Brutally stab the hell out of the spider in an UnstoppableRage, before picking up the ring and going "Mine." He's visibly shocked after that, and ends up gazing at the Ring and the scene in horror.
* ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'': Sarah gives Doug, the security guard who had [[LecherousLicking licked her face]] earlier after strapping her to her bed, one of these when she escapes. She beats him senseless with a broken broom handle, eventually breaking it in half across the back of his neck.
* In ''Film/{{Flash Point|2007}}'', one of the gangsters takes a young girl hostage to stave off Ma, then throws her aside hard enough that she has BloodFromTheMouth as he flees. Once Ma runs him down, what follows [[CurbStompBattle can only very generously be called a "fight"]], and ends with an extended take of the camera just barely covering the gangster's fallen form as Ma just Keeps. On. Punching.
* At the end of ''[[Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjay "Mockingjay: part 2,"]]'' Katniss is supposed to [[spoiler: execute [[BigBad President Snow,]] but kills Coin instead, after finding out how [[FullCircleRevolution she wanted to rebuild Panem.]]]] As she is led away, [[spoiler: a crowd of thousands of spectators rush Snow, and beat him as he [[DiedLaughing laughs at Katniss' action.]]]]
* ''Film/IpMan2'': Once Ip manages to get the Twister in a clinch at his mercy, he coldly rains down punches again and again on said villain's face, juxtaposed against the villain's NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of Master Hung earlier.
* Dominic Toretto's use of this trope is the "Furious" in ''Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious''.
** After his father had died in a crash during a race, Dom caught the driver who caused the crash and repeatedly bashed his face in with a heavy wrench to the point where he lost an eye.
** As Johnny Tran accuses Dom of ratting him out to the police (Dom doesn't know yet that his new friend "Brian Earl Spilner" is [[TheInfiltration an undercover cop]]), Dom beats him down and keeps punching him in a fit of rage.
** The reason why this doesn't continue in the sequels is probably because Dom increasingly faces powerful opponents or downright nemeses rather than victims.
* ''Film/TheFugitive'': Towards the end, Kimble gives two of these: one to the one-armed man who murdered his wife, and another to [[spoiler:Nichols, his longtime colleague who arranged the hit on him.]]

* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''. [[spoiler:When Ed realizes what Shou Tucker did to his daughter and dog by transmuting them into a chimera, he pins Tucker to a wall]] and starts repeatedly punching him in the face - with his right fist(the ''steel'' one). Tucker does not help the situation with his NotSoDifferentRemark.

* ''Anime/EurekaSeven'' has Renton whale on an already disabled LFO with fists of Nirvash (despite actually having melee and ranged weapons) until his entire mech is drenched with red fluid. Even the person he was rescuing, a hardened soldier, is stunned by the sheer brutality of it. [[spoiler:The thing that finally snaps him out of it is seeing a dismembered arm of the pilot with a wedding band and realizing he just beat a real person into an unrecognizable bloody pulp. Cue the VomitDiscretionShot.]]
* ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'': in Volume 6, Shalba Beelzebub traps Asia in the Dimensional Rift and told the rest of the Occult Research Club that she's dead. Guess what Issei does? He activates his [[DeadlyUpgrade Juggernaut Drive]] and beats him senseless, so much so that he bites his left hand off.
* In ''Manga/{{Holyland}}'' chapter 129, some seniors pushed Masaki's BerserkButton to lure him into a trap. In chapter 131, he paid two of them back.
* The protagonists of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' from ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'' onward have {{Fighting Spirit}}s that are specialized in this trope. The most famous case is when Jotaro beats down [[HateSink Steely Dan]] for 3.5 pages (20 seconds in the anime) as retribution for the humiliation he suffered at the latter's hands. The most extreme example, however, in ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Golden Wind]]'' when Cioccolata receives a ''7-page-long beatdown'' (a full ''30 seconds'' in the anime) at the hands of Giorno Giovanna, with

[[spoiler:All three of them survive anyway, and then Ein himself is ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice at the end of a particularly fast-paced final battle against Mika.]]
* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': Most combat between [=EVAs=] and Angels takes place with ranged weapons and the psychic AT-Fields, rendering ranged combat kind of pointless. But on two occasions in the later episodes, Unit-01 takes out angels with its bare hands. In the first case, [[GoryDiscretionShot the angel is hidden from view by a hill as it's beaten to a pulp and all you see is the river that runs around the hill running red with blood.]] The second time, Unit-01 tears one of the

[[LetsFightLikeGentlemen The soldiers decided to call an ad-hoc truce so they could solve it with a brawl as was due and proper]].

* A man named Richard Lawrence attempted to assassinate President UsefulNotes/AndrewJackson after the President attended the funeral of a Congressman. Lawrence drew two pistols and aimed at the president at close range, attempting to fire first one, then the other. [[ReliablyUnreliableGuns Both pistols misfired]] in spite of later tests proving them to be in proper working order ({{Website/Cracked}} posits that the guns worked fine, it was the bullets who were quite justifiably afraid of Jackson). Jackson noticed Lawrence, spotted the pistols, and was clearly displeased when he drew the logical conclusion from the situation: a stranger pointing two guns at a government leader. This would be noted as the first ever assassination attempt on a US president. Unfortunately for Lawrence, his target, President Jackson, was a former [[FourStarBadass Army general]] of the UsefulNotes/WarOf1812 and also known to be [[HotBlooded a man of fierce temper, swift action, and substantial vulgarity]]. As he was 67 at the time, the President regularly walked with a cane, but in this case, he closed on Lawrence with said cane in his grip, and proceeded to beat the bloody stuffing out of the would-be assassin. After some moments, assistance finally arrived (including UsefulNotes/DavyCrockett himself) and they intervened... [[LetMeAtHim to hold]] ''[[LetMeAtHim Jackson]]'' back [[UnstoppableRage so as to keep him from reducing Lawrence into a thin red smear on the floor.]] Crockett and the others succeeded in keeping Jackson from bludgeoning Lawrence to death on the spot, [[HumiliationConga whereupon they piled onto the now-injured Lawrence to apprehend him as a criminal]].
