* ''Film/MortalKombatTheMovie'' provides a non-military example: Johnny Cage visits his instructor, who suggests that, as a break from his acting career with less-than-stellar extras, he should join a certain Mortal Kombat tournament. Not only is the prize money good, he'll get to fight stronger opponents, which may hone his martial arts skills and boost his career in the future. [[spoiler:His master is actually the tournament organizer, Shang Tsung, disguised as the instructor whom he killed, and Johnny never finds out.]] On the tournament, Johnny witnesses just how ''weird'' and dangerous the tournament is--what with a soul-sucking sorcerer, a four-armed hulking man, a cryomancer who literally breaks people like a popsicle, amongst others... He then remarks to his friend that he's been 'recruited' to participate in something weirder than he bargained for.
