** Robo does this again in the opening of ''Film/RoboCop2''. After his car has had two rockets shot at it, causing it to flip over and then shot up and blown up, RoboCop steps out of the destroyed police car, no worse for wear and ready to take out the criminals that did it.

** [[Film/ThTerminator The first Out of the Inferno walk]] in the series was heavily damaged, unlike most of the others this case; the flames served to burn off his skin and clothes, revealing the metal skeleton underneath.

* ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' series is very fond of this one, and definitely popularized it. In fact, the whole series exists ''because'' of this trope: JamesCameron based the first film on a fever dream he once had, in which a robot skeleton strode out of an inferno after a fleeing woman.

* In ''TheMaskOfZorro'', [[spoiler:all the imprisoned miners]] emerge from the smoke after one of the [[UpToEleven most intense explosions ever filmed]] blew everything around them to splinters.
* Used in ''HighlanderIITheQuickening'', when Connor [=MacLeod=] gets hit by a fuel truck. Fortunately, he's just regained both his youth and immortality, allowing him to stride out of the resulting fireball unharmed, dramatic music blaring, long coat blowing, sword clenched in his hand, Christopher Lambert doing his best "badass face" (okay, [[DullSurprise vacant stare]], but it is Christopher Lambert). Sadly, that scene is just about the only cool thing in ''Highlander 2''.

* In the ''ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld'' manga, there's two more Demon God androids than in the anime; the side characters come up with a plan for dealing with one that involves a concentrated attack to hit one of them (Jinnistacia) right before she fires her main attack; theoretically lowering shields to do so. The result was a tremendous explosion; [[http://www.bladeandepsilon.com/ifujinpics.htm which she walks out of]], all it did was destroy her NiceHat.

* In the second season of ''The Familiar of Zero'', when Anies is attacked by a fire mage, she is engulfed in a fireball. The bad guys thinks he's won and of course is set to go on his merry way.

* [[UnluckyCHildhoodFriend Anya]] attempted to do this in ''MahouSenseiNegima'' when she reappeared before Negi. She was doing pretty well too, until she capped it off with a dramatic FlungClothing that ended up with her robe catching on fire. Then when she tried to put it out, her hair caught on fire. Then when she ran around in a panic, her skirt caught on fire. See kids? This is why you shouldn't try this at home.
