* This trope occurs in ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' games several times, with Master Chief rescuing Marines, Johnson rescuing the Chief, Chief rescuing Johnson, Arbiter rescuing Chief, etc.
** ''VideoGame/Halo3'' directly references the TropeNamer, as a character called Sergeant [[Series/{{Firefly}} Reynolds]], played by Creator/NathanFillion, states "Looks like we got here just in the nick of time. What's that make us?" Gamers everywhere immediately replied "Big Damn Heroes, sir!"
** In fact, part of the ad campaign for ''VideoGame/Halo3'' was based around the beneficiaries of such moments reminiscing about the hero who saved them. You can see a couple of these ads [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq2akuhFaB0 here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz_7WWO8lXE here]].
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cojjVDdtB8g announcement trailer]] for ''VideoGame/Halo2'' is a standout example:
---> '''Cortana:''' Admiral, tell your men to hold their positions. Reinforcements are on the spoke.\\

** Master Chief's mere presence seems to inspire this, given the quote from Sgt. Banks in ''VideoGame/Halo2'':
--->'''Sgt. Banks:''' When I asked for reinforcements, I didn't think they'd send a SPARTAN.
* There are some over the course of ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend''. You-the-heroine can be this for Yuuya when he's caught snooping, or you can just damn him. You-the-heroine can also be this for Anghel. In Bad Boys Love the bleakest point is salvaged by Sakuya and Okosan, who helped Sakuya out of his HeroicBSOD. ''Holiday Star'' has a number of such moments, and on two occasions they are nested -- Yuuya comes in and turns the tide, but things get too much for him and Doctor Shuu of all people steps in.
* In ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'', [[spoiler: if ''both'' Ethan Mars and Norman Jayden at least make it to where Ethan's son is being held]], then [[spoiler: Jayden gets a BDH against the Origami Killer by tackling him right before the killer can shoot Ethan]].
* Garry does this in ''VideoGame/{{Ib}}'' under certain circumstances, saving Ib from [[spoiler: a psycho knife-wielding Mary.]]
* Damas from ''VideoGame/Jak3Wastelander'' drives ''through a wall'']and into a bunch of Dark Maker satellites, making them explode nicely.
* In ''VideoGame/JusticeLeagueHeroes'', Superman is completely focused on breaking into [[spoiler:Darkseid's]] fortress while Wonder Woman defends him from attacking [[spoiler:parademons]]. Just as she's about to be overwhelmed, the rest of the League shows up and cleans house.
* A gameplay mechanic in ''VideoGame/JusticeLeagueHeroesTheFlash''. In a tight spot? Summon Franchise/{{Superman}}, Franchise/WonderWoman, ComicBook/MartianManhunter, ComicBook/GreenArrow, or ComicBook/BlackCanary to do massive damage to any onscreen enemies.
