* A variation in ''Film/TheMasterGunfighter''. The title character earns a living as a carnival shooter, showing his proficiency with GunAndSword. As a demonstration of the latter, a fish is placed across the thighs of the senorita who plays the guitar during his act, and he slices it in half while blindfolded.

* In the Film/JamesBond film ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'', BigBad Raoul Silva does a particularly cruel version of this trope to Severine, with a glass of whisky on her head and old guns, and forces Bond to play the game. [[spoiler: Bond misses, but Silva kills her. [[KickTheDog Deliberately]]]]. This example has a subtle difference from the original tale. The goal was to knock the glass off her head, not shoot it. [[spoiler: So, by aiming at Severine, Silva actually won the contest, because the glass fell off her head as she slumped to the ground.]]

* ''{{VideoGame/Lisa}}'': In ''LISA: The Joyful'', a corpse is found riddled with bullets tied to a pole with an unbroken bottle on top of it. Given that you have to kill a guy with a revolver previously shooting at it, it’s not hard to connect the dots.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Heimdall}}'', one of your tests of manhood includes trying to cut the braids off of a barmaid with throwing axes. (She has her head stuck through a wooden panel with her several braids nailed to it.) Humorously, if you throw an axe at her head, she'll immediately pull back to save herself, leaving the braids behind. On subsequent throws, they're hastily taped back in place.
