* Subverted and PlayedForLaughs in the Creator/JackieChan [[TheRemake remake]] of ''Film/TheKarateKid2010''. He looks like he's about to perform that feat, but instead takes out a swatter and swats the fly. He then picks the fly up with his chopsticks, then ''continues eating with said chopsticks'', to which Dre remarks, "That's nasty."

* Toned down in ''Film/KillBill'': one of Pai Mei's tests for his students is for them to be able to graciously eat rice with chopsticks after a full day of TrainingFromHell (I.E. trying to break a board only a finger length away by BASHING YOUR KNUCKLES AGAINST IT.). The Bride eventually passes, [[spoiler:Elle]] doesn't.

** Later when they are eating they have a game where they have to do different things. Tomokane get "don't use chopsticks". But since the japanese word for chopsticks, hashi, is also how you read the kanji for "the ends", she figure out that she can just use the middle parts of the chopsticks in stead of the ends. It however turn out to be to hard for her to eat rice that way. Kisaragi get her a spoon.
