* At the beginning of the first ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', Marty plugs his electric guitar into Doc's ginormous amps and blows himself across the room with the blast emitted from playing a single note. It seems Doc had taken the speakers up by a POWER of 11 during a recent experiment but hadn't had time to tell Marty yet.
* ''[[Film/{{Saw}} Saw VII]]'' supposedly includes a trap that was "so bloody, so disgusting, and so disturbing, the producers wouldn’t allow them to put it in any of the [previous] Saw films – until now". ([[http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/20075 source]]) This in a series that is known for its gory and disturbing traps, and they wouldn't let this one be put in because it was too much? You can bet it will go up to eleven. That, or be a complete anti-climax depending on your opinion.
* In ''Film/TheVillain'', Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger is a White Hat character with a seven-shot six-shooter. When asked why he had it made, he simply looks confused and said "I don't know".
* In ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'' there's an amp vs. amp battle between Scott's band, Sex Bob-omb, and the Japanese [=DJs=] the Katayanagi Twins. The Twins kick off the battle by cranking their amp up to +- (11 in Japanese). This little bit also doubles as an ArcNumber[=/=]MythologyGag, as the Twins are Ramona's fifth and sixth Evil Ex-Boyfriends[[note]] "[[RunningGag Evil]] ''[[InsistentTerminology ex]][[{{Foreshadowing}} es.]]''"[[/note]] who Scott has to fight over the course of the film. 5+6=11.
* There's the guitar scene from ''Cheech and Chong's Next Movie'', where Chong, in a pot high, decides to pretend he's Jimi Hendrix. His guitar is rigged to a big maxed-out amp, and the entire neighborhood knows he's playing. People outside run for cover, a dog covers his ears, and the neighbor's house shakes. Cheech even has trouble getting inside to stop him since the blast from the speaker keeps slamming the door in his face.
** Later on, he tries the same routine in a record store and blows out a "cheap" amplifier within seconds.
* ''Film/{{Clockstoppers}}''. So, you're in [[TimeStandsStill hypertime]] thanks to your AppliedPhlebotinum watch. What happens if you get ''another'' watch and go into hypertime again while you're already ''in'' hypertime? Zak finds out in the climax.
* In ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'', when Iago steals the lamp, he mimics Jafar congratulating him for doing the deed, saying, "On a scale of one to ten, you are eleven."
* In ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'' the ship travels at LudicrousSpeed because light speed is too slow.
* The production design, characterizations, dialogue, plot and music in ''Film/BatmanReturns'' exhibit this trope in terms of [[GothicPunk Gothic-ness]].
