* ''Film/MadWarrior'': The movie went from 80s post-apocalyptic schlock to a ''Star Wars'' ripoff in the climax, when protagonist Rex gets to duel BigBad Malzon using {{laser sword}}s procured from out of nowhere. With Malzon getting hit in the waist by Rex's weapon before falling in two pieces, pre-dating Darth Maul by fifteen years!

* Happens in the remake of ''Film/BangkokDangerous'', when Joe fights an EliteMook and takes out said mook by shoving a grenade into his belt before slamming him into a wall. The mook gets ripped into half from the waist by the subsequent explosion in a rather messy and gory way.

* The first ''Film/JakaSembung'' ends with the titular hero fighting the evil Ki Hitam, an immortal sorcerer who shrugs off having his legs, arms, and even ''[[OffWithHisHead head]]'' severed, with the appendage simply reattaching seconds later. Jaka Sembung then lands a slash through Ki Hitam's waist and halves him perfectly, before using both hands to hold Ki Hitam's upper and lower body apart, calling for his allies in the resistance to set each halve on fire to destroy the villain for good. This time ''it works''.

** In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', if you look carefully, you can see Poggle the Lesser being bisected and having both his arms and his tendrils cut off when Darth Vader kills him and the other Separatist leaders.

* In ''Film/TheBeekeeper'', Clay pulls an ElevatorFailure on a bunch of heavily-armed goons who tried to pursue him through an elevator, and they rush to get out before the mini-bomb detonates and sends the lift plummetting to the ground floor. The unluckiest of them is sliced in half when caught between the falling elevator and the threshold.

* ''Film/SecretServiceOfTheImperialCourt'' ends with the hero, Zhao Bu-Fan, battling the vile Eunuch Wang. Zhao's killing blow on Wang begins with [[AnArmAndALeg severing the villain's left hand]]... before finishing it with a vertical bisection. In ''one'' slash.
