* An interesting variation occurred with Creator/{{Activision}}'s ''Space Shuttle: A Journey Into Space'' for the UsefulNotes/Atari2600. In normal gameplay -- and in RealLife -- the Shuttle's primary engines are used to de-orbit, while the secondary ones are for minor adjustments. During game development, however, a tester was able to de-orbit and land the Shuttle using only the secondary engines. Thinking it was a bug, programmer Gary Kitchen asked NASA to try the maneuver on their simulators to compare the results... and they managed the same feat. Sometime later, emergency procedures on how to land using only the secondary engines were added to the RealLife Space Shuttle's instruction procedures.

** It's also subverted in that his first try goes about as well as you'd expect because he'd never handled a real gun before. It's when he asks for a second try, now knowing to expect the recoil that Marty aces the shooting range.

* Invoked, exploited and reconstructed in ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'': The LaResistance on Caprica was mostly made-up of sports athletes with no military training. So, they relied on tactics they've seen in old war movies to attack Cylons. Their success rate is hit-and-miss, but they do manage to stay alive on Cylon-infested Caprica for a good few months and be a thorn on the Cylons' side as they do so. They are also sober enough to recognise that the stuff they learned from films isn't going to carry them indefinitely and request some training when they meet members of an actual military.

At the climax of ''The Ship Who Won'' he takes up a three-foot drill bit with which to fend off much more real foes. LARP experience has at least taught him how to stand and move with an item of a similar size and weight and given him appropriate reflexes. That his enemies are if anything even less trained in actual physical combat presumably makes up for the difficulty of hitting opponents who actually have mass - regardless, he doesn't skewer anyone but ''does'' successfully keep them from what he needed to defend.
