* ''Film/HaroldAndKumarEscapeFromGuantanamoBay'': Kumar tried smoking a water bong filled with pot on an airplane, and that method requires lighting a match. An old white woman screams, "Terrorist!" and all the passengers suspect Kumar's holding a bomb, with Harold desperate to re-assure everyone it's a "water pipe tobacco", but when Kumar tells them what it is by its formal name, a "bong", one man screams, "He says he got a '''bomb'''!!!"

* Music/TheBeatles, ''{{Help}}!'':

* Radio: ''TheGoonShow'' episode "The Silver Dubloons" has the following:

This cry is also used if someone has something that only looks like a weapon. Expect such people to become the targets of preemptive strikes before the mistake is noticed. People who truly have weapons don't get this treatment: they either dominate, or there will be a true FightScene.

* Used in ''ForbiddenBroadway'''s spoof of ''Literature/{{Ragtime}}'':

* Splicers in ''VideoGame/{{BioShock|1}}'' may say "He's got a gun!" when they see you, even if you're holding your wrench.
** Justified: Splicers are insane and some of them have issues with perception that makes it a wonder that they can even perceive you.

"Look out, he's got a candle!"

* In ''Film/{{Willow}}'', from Madmartigan: "There's a... a peck here with an acorn pointed at me!"
* Used in Film/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy during the final scene with the Vogon attack.

* In one of the early ''TreehouseOfHorror'' episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Kang runs past in the background yelling, "He's got a board with a nail in it!" He's being pursued by Moe, who does indeed have a board with a nail in it (Earth had previously achieved world peace and disarmed, allowing K&K to invade with even less effective weapons).

Compare IveGotAnXAndImNotAfraidToUseIt. May have shades of CaptainObvious, however in RealLife situations it's safer for everyone in earshot for it to be announced as a warning.

* ''The Big Bus'', a DisasterMovie spoof: early in the film we see the driver in a bus driver bar, and there's a fight. One guy grabs a quart carton of milk and bashes the end off, threatening someone else with it. "Look out! He's got a milk carton!" The other guy grabs a candle and breaks the end off of it. "Look out, he's got a candle!"

* ''Discworld/MakingMoney'': [[ItMakesSenseInContext "Look out, he's got a daisy!"]] To elaborate: The patrician has engaged in some questionable acts that will only go overlooked as long as he maintains his personal authority and dignity - which is also the only way the main character can hope to survive. Vetinari then engages in conversation with a clown, who in close range has a tendency to wet the converser via squirt-flower. Thus, "Look out, he's got a daisy!"
* ''Discworld/TheFifthElephant'': Averted by Sam Vimes. When he is imprisoned [[spoiler: by the dwarves]], someone smuggles a single-shot crossbow into his cell. Vimes notes that if you want to help someone escape, you send them a key - sending someone a weapon will only get them killed via this trope[[spoiler:, which is exactly what the sender had in mind]].
