* ''MetalGearSolid'': you vs a Hind-D helicopter, you vs a Metal Gear. ''Metal Gear Solid 2'': you vs a Harrier jumpjet, you vs many Metal Gear Rays. ''Metal Gear Solid 3'': you vs the Shagohod. ''Metal Gear Solid 4'' is slightly different in that you have to take on a Metal Gear Ray, [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome but you yourself are in a Metal Gear Rex.]]

* In ''TheWildWildWest'' episode "The Night of the Juggernaut", Jim West must defeat the title machine (a SteamPunk armored car) and its operator.

-> "You know what [[BreakingTheFourthWall this game]] needs? [[DeadpanSnarker More helicopters.]]"

* [[{{Designated Antagonist}} Cannoli]] from ''[[VideoGame/WarioMasterOfDisguise Wario: Master of Disguise]]'' fights with machines, because Wario stole his wand that granted him super powers.

* ''CSIMiami'': One episode began with Calleigh held at gunpoint by the killers of the week as she got into her car. When she pulled a gun on them and indentified herself as a cop, they sped off, knocking her gun into the street. Then they got the bright idea to turn around and try to run her over, ''despite knowing she was armed and trained to shoot things''. While one survived, the other wound up a literal example of TooDumbToLive.

* The final boss of ''[[{{Banjo-Kazooie}} Banjo-Tooie]]'' is the Hag 1, a large digging machine piloted by Gruntilda.

* During the final confrontation with a brainwashed Jake in ApeEscape, Jake attempts to take you on in a large race car.

* [[{{Designated Antagonist}} Cannoli]] from ''[[VideoGame/{{Wario Land}} Wario: Master of Disguise]]'' fights with machines, because Wario stole his wand that granted him super powers.

* [[{{Designated Antagonist}} Cannoli]] from ''[[{{Wario Land}} Wario: Master of Disguise]]'' fights with machines, because Wario stole his wand that granted him super powers.

* The classic final boss fight of ''SuperMarioWorld'' with King Koopa and his flying koopa clown car.

* Near the end of ''RainbowSix: Vegas 2'', the player character, Bishop, is about to get into a one-on-one showdown with the BigBad, but a gunship shows up. Bishop is forced to not only avoid the Helicopter's fire, but also deal with {{Mooks}} that are thrown at you, until your allies can commandeer a SAM.

Not to be confused with CarFu, which is when the vehicle is turned into a makeshift weapon. However, the two are likely to overlap.

* The hero takes out the vehicle directly, either by [[AttackItsWeakPoint hitting a weak point]], manipulating it into a trap, or just using a very big gun.

* In the SoBadItsHorrible [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames video game adaptation]] [[{{Bethesda}} of]] ''{{Terminator}}'', one of the stages has you running from a gunship that you can't hurt (but can kill you over and over and over...).

* ''TotalRecall'': "Bennie, [strike:Screw you] [[FunetikAksent Sklew yew]]!"

* ''TotalRecall'': "Bennie, Screw you!"

* ''MetalGearSolid'': you vs a Hind-D helicopter, you vs a Metal Gear. ''Metal Gear Solid 2'': you vs a Harrier jumpjet, you vs many Metal Gear Rays. ''Metal Gear Solid 3'': you vs the Shagohod. ''Metal Gear Solid 4'' is slightly different in that you have to take on a Metal Gear Ray, but you yourself are in a Metal Gear Rex.

* In the SoBadItsHorrible video game adaptation of ''{{Terminator}}'', one of the stages has you running from a gunship that you can't hurt (but can kill you over and over and over...).

Pops up frequently in VideoGames, though not uncommon in other mediums. Also TruthInTelevision; see pretty much any vehicle designed for combat purposes, or any crime where the weapon was a car or other vehicle.

* CaveStory has Monster X, an aptly-named X-shaped vehicle in one of the Labyrinth tunnels that's piloted by a homicidal giant cat.
