* In ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'', Homestar's clothes are seen in the air when he gets ready to take a shower. Luckily, Strong Bad's The Cheat-like reflexes prevent us from seeing anymore (he ''is'' naked later on in the game... [[{{Pixellation}} except it's blurred out]]).

* In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'', the end boss M. Bison throws off a cape before fighting whichever character made it to him. This becomes subverted (and a little less unique) come Alpha/Zero and beyond, when he keeps the cape on at all times, and other characters get the cloak-flinging: Zangief and Cammy (although hers is more of a hooded cloak). Come ''VideoGame/XMenVsStreetFighter'', Sabretooth gets a pimp robe to put on and take off (Birdie brings them in both cases though, so not really a fling). His Alpha incarnation being inspired by his appearance in the ''Street Fighter Animated Movie'', it's only natural to make mention of it as well. At first, he fights with the cape on (while still just toying with the heroes), but once provoked to fight seriously, he tears the chain off the cape and flings it off, ready to get his hands dirty. In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'', he fights with the cape off again. The cape (and the flinging) only appear in some Rival Cutscenes.

* When facing Chun-Li in ''VideoGame/CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium'', Mai Shiranui will enter the match dressed as Chun-Li, only to rip off the disguise and toss it away.

* Very frequent in the ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' series, where all the badass yakuza have to do to reveal their topless, tattooed (or in some cases ''not'' tattooed, as part of TheReveal) upper bodies is to tug on one corner of their shirts, jackets, etc. Particularly JustForFun/{{egregious}} in the climax of ''Yakuza 4'', where '''everyone''' except the cop characters does this.

* In ''Film/{{Octopussy}}'', Magda whips off her sari to use as a [[ImprovisedWeapon weapon]] against Kamal's goons. She doesn't put it back on, thereby keeping the FetishFuel burning.

* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' brings us Noel, Litchi, and Makoto, all who have introduction poses. Noel and Makoto throw off their cloaks, while Litchi grabs her dress and sweeps it around herself, [[http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/078/6/f/Litchi_changing_outfit_by_mikagome007.gif setting a new world record for fastest change into alluring attire.]]

** The [[CoolOldGuy aged]] [[BadAss Liquid]] [[MagnificentBastard Ocelot]] throws off his trench coat before engaging [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4 Old Snake]] in one last fight. This reveals two things: first, Ocelot is in amazing shape for a man in his seventies. Second, [[spoiler: he has a cybernetic arm instead of Liquid's arm. This arm ''hurts'', as evidenced by the large chunks of health Snake loses when he's hit by it.]]
