History Main / SicEm

* ''Film/{{Legend}}''. When Darkness first summons Blix he tells him to find and destroy the unicorns.

** ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'' has two:

--->'''Drax''': [To his TheDragon #1 Chang]] Look after Mr. Bond. See that some harm comes to him.

--->'''Osato''': [To Number 11, AKA Miss Brandt] Kill him!

--->'''Karl Stromberg''': James Bond. And the woman is Major Amasova, a Russian agent. Let them get to shore... and then kill them.

--->'''Drax''': Look after Mr. Bond. See that some harm comes to him.

* [[DesignatedVillain Zagato]] from ''MagicKnightRayearth'' has a whole [[TheWarRoom chamber]] to hold audience with his minions every time the Knights overcome the latest foe, just so he can point at one of them ominously and summon them into service. It first appeared ''immediately'' after the girls arrived on Cephiro, and the narrative takes the time to focus on each and every one of Zagato's subordinates (seen only in silhouette, hidden behind waterfalls) as they dispense with their thoughts on the new development... making the audience wonder why they didn't ''all'' go out at once, and easily [[CurbStompBattle thwart the Knights while they were still inexperienced]], instead of facing them (and get beaten, naturally) one at a time.

* TheArmstrongAndMillerShow: Several sketches in which a man has a perfectly amicable conversation about some mundane matter, wishes whoever he's been talking to a cheerful goodbye, leans over a desk microphone, and says in his best Bond villain voice, "kill them".

* ''Film/TheMatrix''. After Neo and Morpheus escape him, Agent Smith gives the order to the other agents: "Find them and destroy them!"

* [[Film/TheMatrix "Find them and destroy them!"]]
* Parodied (what else?) in ''Film/TopSecret'': upon being informed of an escape, the Nazi commander who is thus informed does not say a word. Rather he looks down at the dossier he's been shown and uses a RUBBER STAMP to imprint 'Find Him And Kill Him' on it.

* TheArmstrongAndMillerShow: Several sketches in which a man has a perfectly amicable conversation with several people, wishes them goodbye, leans over a desk microphone, and says in his best Bond villain voice, "kill them".

* ''FinalFantasy: Unlimited'', occasionally.

* In ''FinalFantasyIV'', on learning Cecil is seeking to become a paladin, Golbez calls in Scarmiglione and dispatches him to stop Cecil's party. What makes this effective is that Scarmiglione and his zombie minions are resistant to Cecil's dark sword. What makes it not effective is that the same can't be said of the mages sent to [[strike:spy on]] accompany Cecil to Mt. Ordeals.

* Saddler dispatching Krauser in ''ResidentEvil4''.

* ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'':

---->'''Drax''': Look after Mr. Bond. See that some harm comes to him.

---->'''Elliot Carver''': Mr Stamper, would you please kill those bastards!

---->'''Greene''': I need help eliminating...a pest.

* RedVsBlue Season ten has this:
---->'''Sigma''': [[TheBrute Agent Maine]], isn't that the soldier from the freeway? The one who shot you in the throat? I thought so. Sic 'em."

[[AC:Television]]

[[AC:Web Comics]]

* ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'' -- Just when everything's going great for the Gaang in Season 3, Zuko hires an assassin to finish his job ("I want you to find him... and end him.")

"It seems this KidHero is more troublesome than I expected."
(points to shadowy figures - his new QuirkyMinibossSquad or TheDragon)

[[AC: Film]]

[[AC:Video Games]]

* Saddler dispatching Krauser in ''ResidentEvil 4''.

* Subverted in ''OrderOfTheStick''. A shadowy guy in a throne room tells a minion "You know what must be done." She replies, "My blades shall be bathed in the blood of those responsible." Later, we see him replying with something like, "Actually, I want you to take them here for a lawful trial."

[[AC:Western Animation]]

* JamesBond

* [[TheMatrix "Find them and destroy them!"]]
* Parodied (what else?) in ''[=~Top Secret!~=]'': upon being informed of an escape, the Nazi commander who is thus informed does not say a word. Rather he looks down at the dossier he's been shown and uses a RUBBER STAMP to imprint 'Find Him And Kill Him' on it.

* Every time you collect a [[MacGuffin map piece]] in ''MonkeyIsland 2'', [=LeChuck=] is shown chastising Largo [=LaGrande=] for allowing Guybrush to find another map piece and commanding him to go and get him. Possibly subverted in that Largo never shows up. [=LeChuck=] never thinks to go get Guybrush himself, [[FridgeLogic despite his ability to instantaneously teleport around the Caribbean.]]

After the hero has won a small but significant victory of some kind, the story cuts away to the BigBad, typically in TheWarRoom of the SupervillainLair, gazing into the [[PalantirPloy Palantir]] and saying something like:

** ''{{Moonraker}}''

** ''LiveAndLetDie'' has two:

* ''PaperMario'', between chapters

* In ''BaldursGate: Throne of Baal'', Sendai sends minions after you when you invade her lair.

* JamesBond movie examples:
