* Somewhat of an inversion but still in the spirit of the trope, in ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', Doc Brown has unflinching faith in the his time machine's ''accelerator''. If the car doesn't get up to 88 mph before it reaches him and Marty, then they're going to get flattened. As it happens, the time machine blinks out about 20 feet before it hits them.

* Death did this in ''Discworld/ReaperMan'' when the Combination Harvester (possessed by the New Death in a last-ditch effort to claim him) charged at him. Death had secretly pulled out the three-eights gripley, so the elliptical cam had gradually slid up the beam shaft and caught on the flange rebate, with disastrous results, before it reached him.

* Played straight in one of the trailers of ''VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed'', as Starkiller pulls a Star Destroyer out of the sky and stops it just before it hits him.
