* ''Film/TerminatorSalvation'' has a variation: when John Connor gets in an argument with General Ashdown over the radio, the general orders John relieved of his position, then signs off. Two of John's men who overheard the argument immediately say that they didn't catch the general's last order, indicating that they'll help with John's plan. They're invoking fake static to somebody on the ''same'' end of the conversation, but the intent is the same.

* A variation happens in the film BatleOFBritain. A flight of Polish Pilots and their RAF instructor/flight lead are given an order to return to base by RAF Command. The RAF Flight Lead passes the order to his trainees, but as he was getting the order, one of the Polish pilots spotted a couple of Luftwaffe Bombers without any escorts. The five Polish pilots gleefully take up the chance to kill some Nazis, all while telling their Flight Lead "Repeat Please" as he's telling them their instructions to RTB. He eventually gives up, and rolls in to fight along with his trainees. The Trainees are later told that they have been made fully operational.
** To elaborate, they were hearing him loud and clear, but as English was a second language, they were feigning that they couldn't understand the instructions, which were in English. So the static in this case was a fake language barrier.
