* ''Film/SharkAttack3Megalodon'':
** late in the film, an enraged mother megalodon shark is attacking a yacht full of rich people where Ben's Boss Luis Ruiz and a fellow rich executive Mr. Tolley are stranded on while the shark proceeds to knock more people of the yacht and into the water.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Since there is a giant man-eating shark in the waters, that most of the guests would clammer back on to the yacht while it is still afloat and probably signal the helicopter to pick then up while they still have the chance.\\
'''Instead:''' Nearly all of them and especially Ruiz abandon ship, resulting in the shark gulping a whole raft of guests, and Ruiz (upon steeling a woman's life jacket) bailing off the yacht's bow right into the shark's emerging mouth.
** Just after all this, Tolley first subverts this when he proceeds to make his own quick escape on a jet ski, but just as he sniggers at the people left behind, he then sees the megalodon right in his path ready swallow him.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' that he just steer away from the gaping maw of the shark given the amount of distance there is between him and the shark.\\
'''Instead:''' he screams and waves his arms about while he flies straight into the waiting shark's mouth at full speed!

** Doug is this in SPADES. Doug only got Reggie to impress his girlfriend. When she isn't around, he neglects Reggie entirely. Eventually the dog, albeit unintentionally, reveals that Doug was cheating on his girlfriend. She leaves and tries to take Reggie with her since she knows Doug doesn't like him.
'''You'd Expect''': Doug to just let her take Reggie. He hates the dog and he'll be free from being stuck with him.
'''Instead:''' He keeps Reggie just to spite his ex out of pettiness.
'''The Result''': Doug is stuck with Reggie for some time.
** Doug has had it with Reggie in his life and wants to get rid of him.
'''You'd expect''': For Doug to take Reggie to the shelter.
'''Instead''': He repeatedly tries to get Reggie to leave by throwing a tennis ball for him to catch far far away from his house.
'''The Result''': Reggie, obviously thinking that it's all a game, keeps coming back.

** Doug sees that Reggie came back even after he tried to get rid of him many miles away in the city. Reggie begins to head out the front door.
'''You'd expect''': Doug to just let Reggie go. He doesn't want him around and seeing him wander out the front door would give him the chance to quickly close it.
'''Instead''': He slams the door shut and tries to kill Reggie with a bat. But this gives Bug, Maggie, and Hunter enough time to break in and eventually give Doug his long, overdue **Laser-Guided Karma**.
** Reggie sadly falls to this too, obliviousness aside. He has finally decided to denounce Doug in the end after being reminded of all the abuse inflicted upon him and wanders through the empty house. He buries the tennis ball in the backyard.
'''You'd expect''': Reggie to run off through either side of the house outside or through the back. Doug could come back any minute and could cause more harm to Reggie.
'''Instead:''' Reggie decides to crap one last time on the carpet to spite Doug inside the house. And right when he goes back in, Doug has returned.
'''Fortunately''': Bug, Hunter, and Maggie arrive just in time to save Reggie from being killed and give Doug the karma he deserves.

* ''Film/{{Transformers}}'':

* ''Film/Strays (2023)'':

'''You'd Expect:''' They would listen to the news reporters and stay put in the house they're in, clearing it of any zombies ([[NotUsingTheZWord or whatever they are]])first of course, and hope that the mother and ex-girlfriend are safe at the end.\\

'''Instead:''' S.E.T.H. has the [=UniSols=] start taking over the facility... but not until after he's already let Luc and Cotner know about his rebellion courtesy of a PrecisionFStrike. And then just to ''really'' cranku p the idiocy, he fries both Cotner and an innocent bystander alive with an electricity beam -- an honorary What an Idiot also goes to whoever thought it was a good idea to install ''that'' in a fully autonomous AI with few-to-no programming constraints -- leaving Luc as the only one who knows the code. And he naturally isn't inclined to give it up to S.E.T.H. under these circumstances.

** '''Or For the Matter:''' Not even express mutual feelings for Donny himself. Sure, she may like him back, but she should know all ''too well'' that this is wrong on so many levels, and could easily (and severely) damage her reputation should she be caught in the act. And if she were to internally struggle with her feelings, she mind as well go to some form of therapy to cope with them. Donny flirting with an adult is bad enough — and he's in detention rightfully so, but because Ms. [=McGarricle=] is an adult, she's in position to face bigger consequences given her status and level of maturity.

'''You'd Expect''': Daffy to train with the Justice League first, appeal to them in a legitimate way and avoid causing any trouble that migjt ruin his chance.\\

''The Result''': He completely alienates Dom with his expectations, eventually resulting in Dom teaming up with Al G. Rhythm to play against Lebron and the Looney Tunes in his own {{Calvinball}} version of basketball, with Lebron failing repeatedly to get his son back.

** As for Dafffy, well he wants to get into the Justice League during his time on [[DCComics DC World]].\\

* ''Film/{{Showgirls}}'': Andrew Carver is too cruel for his own good when it came to Molly, who was a big fan and was excited to have sex with him.\\
'''You'd Expect''': If Carver had some sort of rape fetish, he'd inform Molly, and make sure the whole thing was SafeSaneAndConsensual before going to town.\\
'''Instead''': He calls his guards, punches her in the nose, and gang-rapes her like a monster. Needless to say, he got his comeuppance for this part.
* ''Film/SilentNightDeadlyNightPart2'':

* At the end of ''Film/SleepingDogs'', main character Smith is cornered by Jesperson and the [[StateSec Special Police Force]]. He fires at Jesperson, but is obviously not trying, since he rants that isn't this what they want, him to fight them? He defiantly walks away from them while Jesperson angrily tells Smith not to turn his back on him.\\
