* ''Film/OnTheBuses'': Stan and Jack's initial reaction to finding out they're now going to be supervised by women, only for to be almost instantly averted.

** In the first movie, when Micheal comes across Hayes heavily bitten body who, with his dying breath, tells him where Donna is. Yorga's two vampire brides, one of whom is his former friend Erica, charge into the room to attack him. Micheal stands his ground, swinging his stick at them as they try to close in to no avail. Eventually he raises his stake threateningly, Erica doesn't move, but her fellow bride snarls, turns and runs back the way they came in.
*** Later in the movie, Micheal manages to kill Yorga and goes to collect Donna. They watch Yorga crumble to dust and turn to leave only to be confronted by Erica and the unnamed red-headed bride, who're still vampires despite their master being dead. Micheal and Donna rush down the opposite end of a stairwell with the brides doubling back to meet them in the center. Micheal however pulls out a cross to which Erica, who was near enough to attack, shrinks back and wheels behind her fellow bride as Micheal forces the two back, with both cringing every time Micheal thrust the cross at them. The red-head does manage to switch the positions once they're at the bottom of the stairwell, with both ultimately retreating into a nearby room, figuring their blood isn't worth dealing with a holy symbol.

Loki recognizes the talk and doesn't want any part of it, attempting to get back to Wisconsin, only for Bartleby to strongarm him into staying with him.

* ''Film/EventHorizon'': Miller deadpans, "We're leaving" after seeing the ApocalypticLog [[spoiler:of the titular ship's crew gorily killing each other under the influence of [[HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace hyperspace (which is a Scary Place heavily implied to be]] {{Hell}}).

* In ''Film/JohnWick'', while infiltrating a night club John holds up the guard at the front door with a gun to the head.
