* In [[StubbsTheZombie Stubbs the Zombie]], the title character can pull the arms off of his enemies, and wield them. The victim will shortly die of blood loss, or you can beat them to death before they do, then turn the arm on their friends. There's also all the stuff Stubbs can do with his own decaying meat.

* ''TrueBlood'': When a JerkAss tries to [[spoiler: put silver in his face, EnsembleDarkhorse Eric Northman flips shit, rips off the guy's arm, and beats him with it. There is no GoryDiscretionShot.]]

** YuGiOh has some, too, most prominently the Catapult Turtle, which was taken to [[ScrewTheRulesIHavePlot hilarious extremes]] in the anime. I guess the archer girl works like that too, which would make it trowing allies at the enemy ''as if they were arrows''. The laser cannon soldier seems to use them [[PoweredByAForsakenChild as fuel for the cannon]], though.

* ''BionicCommando'' has this as a special ability for Rad Spencer, at least in the 2009 sequel. Using the [[GrapplingHookPistol grappling claw]] in his [[ArtificialLimbs bionic arm]], Spencer can pull enemies off their feet and sling them at each other, with predictably entertaining results. He can also pick up dead enemies and use them as weapons. This leads to scenarios such as beating a sniper to death with another sniper, picking up an enemy wielding a machine gun and smacking his squadmates around with him, or grappling a disabled [[PoweredArmor Bio-Mech]] and dropping it on a grunt.

*''UndeadKnights'' requires you to do this to proceed. You have the ability to turn any of the enemies swarming you into zombies under your control, and are expected to throw them into booby traps, throw them onto enemies to stun them, smash them into the ground for massive damage, and so on.

* In [[{{Ptitle0028gzjm}} Kyon: Big Damn Hero]], Yuki invokes this trope in the first CurbStompBattle against Yakuza, when Yuki, Kyon and Tsuruya are outnumbered 3 to 1. Kyon learns from this, and invokes this trope when he engages in his CurbStompBattle, while outnumbered 12:1. In both cases, they kick/fling/punch their opponents hard enough that they collide with someone else.
