* In ''Film/IronMan1'', Yinsen describes a type of bomb victim he and the people in his village refer to as "The Walking Dead".[[note]] No, not [[ComicBook/TheWalkingDead that one]].[[/note]] These people walk around with bomb shrapnel in their bloodstream, and live for about a week before their organs are torn to shreds. This happens to main character Tony Stark as well, who only survives by having an electromagnet implanted into his chest to keep the shrapnel from tearing his heart to ribbons.
* An interesting example in ''Film/JohnWick'': as soon as Iosef makes the mistake of killing [[RetiredBadass John Wick's]] dog, literally everyone he knows considers him to be living on borrowed time. The only reason his ''father'' even tries to protect him is parental obligation. Iosef is the ''only'' person who thinks he might get out of this alive. [[spoiler:He doesn't.]]

* While Joffrey researches Robert Baratheon's health in ''FanFic/PurpleDays'', he briefly tries to find a way to save him from his impending assassination. However, when he finds Pycelle's reconds of the prolonged poisoning he's been subjecting Robert to for years and the consequences of his BadassDecay, gluttony and lechery, he grimly realizes that whatever he does, Robert is doomed by the time his GroundhogDayLoop starts.
