* In ''Series/BetterCallSaul'' episode "50% Off", the opening shows two [[StupidCrooks incredibly dumb criminals]] (Sticky and Ron) receiving Saul Goodman's business card (which shows his offer for his service is [[TitleDrop 50% Off]]).

When a character of morally-dubious fiber -- be they VillainProtagonist or the BigBad and his goons -- goes out and commits various crimes in a montage. These crimes can range from BankRobbery and [[ClassyCatBurglar cat-burglary]], to ArsonMurderAndJaywalking. Usually done to show their growing infamy and success, the bad guys going from two-bit carjackers to infamous felons in a small, easily digestible format. It would also sometimes be displayed with a SpinningPaper.
Compare AtrocityMontage and ApocalypticMontage. Contrast OnPatrolMontage. May overlap with GoodTimesMontage.

* After the title character of ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'' (supposedly) destroys his life-long nemesis Metro-Man and declares himself Metro City's ruler, he and Minion go on a crime spree where they graffiti the city, steal all of the art from the Art Museum and have pillow fights with (presumably stolen) cash, all set to "Crazy Train" by Music/OzzyOsbourne.

* After ''Film/AngelsWithDirtyFaces'' introduces our young protagonist getting arrested, we see him age into Creator/JamesCagney as he becomes involved in gambling, racketeering, bootlegging, and gang violence.
* In ''Film/BatmanForever'', after the Riddler and Two-Face forge an alliance, there is a montage of the two of them going around Gotham City and robbing jewelry stores.
* In the feature film adaptation of ''Literature/TheDayOfTheJackal'', the villainous [=OAS=] need to amass half a million US dollars as payment for the services of a professional assassin, code named Jackal.

* Happens twice in ''Film/DickTracy'' after "Big Boy" Caprice unites the different gangs and factions. The first time, the crimes are all actually being foiled, thanks to Tracy and his unit having a secret transmitter above Caprice's meeting room, allowing them to foil the heists. After [[spoiler:the transmitter is discovered and Tracy is framed for murder]], a second montage occurs, and this one is ''much'' more successful for the criminals.
* The opening of ''Film/KungFuHustle'' shows black-and-white still photographs of the aftermath of the Axe Gang's attacks as they rise to power, interspersed with their dance number.
* ''Legendary Couple'', a Hong Kong ForeignRemake of ''Natural Born Killers'', have the protagonist (a bank clerk forced to turn to a life of crime after his wife's passing) getting his hands on an M16 and going on a massive robbery spree with his new girlfriend, attacking bank vaults and drug dens alike for their loot in a lengthy rise-to-crime scene with rock music in the background.
* ''Film/RoadToPerdition'' shows rogue hitman Michael Sullivan robbing banks in Illinois and Indiana, assisted by his eldest son. Pointedly, Sullivan is only draining the accounts of Connor Rooney, the ne'er-do-well son of crime boss John Rooney. Connor has been siphoning off funds from his father's "business," and salting them away in various banks. Sullivan aims to either compel Connor to confront him, or expose his graft to his father.

The list includes robbing the nearest bank, kidnap a baby, putting that baby in danger (which they interpret as giving it back to its mother), stiffing a medical bill, getting an Uber-driver fired, landing a career in finance, steal a work of art, derail a train, pour acid on children, pollute the water supply, fart, sit on the elderly, and kidnap and Fed-Exing [[{{Supervillain}} Bobby Worst]] so that the Queen could hold him hostage. While this is going on, there is a RunningGag where the orphans sent to pretend to be their children keep getting killed (usually by them) and replaced.
