* ''Film/DumbMoney'': Both r/wallstreetbets being shut down and Robinhood disabling the buy button for GME causes all of the small investors to panic, [[InvokedTrope which was the point]]. Enough people are rattled into selling their stock to tank the investments of those that held: GME drops to about a third of its peak value (which admittedly is still about forty times higher than its price at the start of the film, so people who got in early still made out like bandits).

Every single Sentinel breaks off its attack and hurtles its way back up the shaft they invaded through, trying to escape - without success.

* Straddling with RealLife, the reactions of the majority of witnesses and the people involved in the September 11 terrorism - whether its ''Film/UnitedNinetyThree'' or ''Film/NineEleven''.
* In ''Film/{{Airplane}}'', this happens because the stewardess is asking if anyone knows how to fly a plane. In the sequel, it's because [[MustHaveCaffeine they're out of coffee]].
* ''Film/{{Apollo 13}}'': "Houston, we are venting something out into space." All the frantic discussions in the spacecraft and Mission Control stop dead upon hearing Jim Lovell make that announcement.
* A very somber and iconic example occurs at the climax of ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''. [[spoiler:When it seems like Thor has Thanos at his mercy and the day will be saved once again, Thanos manages to pull a BadassFingersnap to end them all, complete with Thor's BigNo, before escaping with some minor injuries.]] While nothing seems to have changed ''at first,'' [[spoiler:Bucky collapses and crumbles to dust in front of Cap's eyes.

* ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'':
** This happened with Biff and his thugs in ''Film/BackToTheFuture1'', when they were about to run into a [[RoadApples manure truck]] after Marty evades them.
--->'''Biff, 3D, Match and Skinhead:''' '''[[VisualPun SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!]]'''
** In ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'', Marty meets Biff's great-grandfather Buford Tannen, but Marty was unaware that [[BerserkButton Buford hates his nickname "Mad Dog"]], so when Marty calls him "Mad Dog", everybody in proximity either flees or makes themselves scarce.
* ''Film/TheBankJob'': Once the bank is robbed, quite a few people with valuables or compromising material in the vault are shown panicking.
* ''Film/BlackMask'': This is the police's reaction to Jimmy's hospital rampage. They may be wearing balaclavas, but their fear can be seen in their eyes...
* In the 2010 ''Film/{{Clash of the Titans|2010}}'', when Hades makes his appearance in the throne room scene, you can tell every person in the room just thought "OhCrap", or some variant of it, most especially the queen who had just finished saying [[AGodAmI that they were the new gods.]]
* ''Film/TheDarkKnight'': Every mobster in the room loses their shit when the Joker reveals that he's wearing a [[SuicideAttack suicide vest]] underneath his coat.

* Every ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' movie is usually required to have this. Besides the [=MonsterVerse=] example listed below, ''Film/ShinGodzilla'' sees the people working on a plan to stop Godzilla react this way to learning that the U.S. government has their own plan--which involves dropping a nuke onto Tokyo.
* In ''Film/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy2005'', after the [[ObstructiveBureaucrat Vogons]] announce to the entire Earth that it is to be [[EarthShatteringKaboom demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass]], we get shots of various locations indicating that ''every single person on earth is '''screaming in terror''''', from places like New York and Rio De Janiero, then a flock of sheep merely bleating in their pasture as Vogon construction ships come into the atmosphere. This lies somewhere between hilarious and utterly terrifying.
** What makes it funny is the one [[StiffUpperLip serene-looking old lady]][[note]]played by [[GeniusBonus Douglas Adams' mother]][[/note]], [[BritsLoveTea sipping her tea]]. She was not told what the scene would be, so she's hardly reacting to the screaming chaos around her. They decided to ThrowItIn.
* ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'' plays this for laughs when Indy and his father Henry are on an airship trying to sneak out of Nazi Germany. They don't have tickets, though, and a Nazi officer is on board trying to find them. He finds Henry at a table near an open window and revels just a bit too long in satisfaction at getting him when Indy returns dressed as an attendant and punches him out before tossing him through the window -- in front of all of the stunned passengers. [[RefugeInAudacity Indy explains it with a simple "No ticket"]] -- cue ''all the passengers in the gondola'' frantically pulling out their tickets to show to him at once.

*** A flock of highly territorial ''[[GiantFlyer Pteranodons]]'' and ''[[KillerRabbit Dimorphodons]]'' flee from the Aviary in panic when the ''I. rex'' crashes into it (you may be noticing a pattern here). Later, a bunch of tourists respond with one of these of their own when the [[DeathFromAbove rogue pterosaurs]] fly into Jurassic World's Main Street.
*** The raptors turning to the humans, with Indominus rex holding a SlasherSmile behind them. [[FridgeHorror one can only imagine what would the raptors do to Owen, the man who raised them from birth, if only Blue wasn't holding her siblings back...]]
* In ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing'', while in Moria, the Fellowship all become very unnerved as the Goblins surrounding them flee in fear and the sounds of the Balrog grow louder.

** ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': The entire [[Characters/MonsterVerseMonarch Monarch crew]] on the ''Argo'' has this reaction when they realize that [[BigBadWannabe Alan Jonah]] and the ORCA are in Antarctica, and thus with [[Characters/MonsterVerseKingGhidorah the only other Titan on Earth who's in Godzilla's weight class]]. Later, the Monarch brass, their G-Team and even one of the human bad guys have this reaction when Ghidorah awakens.
** ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'': Team Godzilla have a pretty good one when the three of them discover [[spoiler:the skull of Ghidorah's decapitated left head in Apex's headquarters, wired up and being used as the hub of Mechagodzilla's neural pathways]]. Everyone has one in quick succession when [[spoiler:Ghidorah possesses Mechagodzilla and it goes on the rampage]].
* ''[[Film/TheNakedGun The Naked Gun: 33 1/3]]'': From the same creators as ''Airplane'' above, this film showcased this during a confrontation on-stage at the Oscars between Drebin and Rosco. Rosco's got a gun, Drebin has the bomb Rosco wants to trigger. Drebin's solution? Trade the gun for the bomb. Cue {{FacePalm}}s from ''everyone'' with their hands free.
* A mass chorus of "Oh, shit!" in ''National Lampoon's Class Reunion'' immediately follows the shrink's revelation that, yes, the class prank pulled on Walter really ''had'' been nasty enough to turn him into a vengeful serial killer.
* In ''Film/NoKidding'', Tandy warns the Robinsons that the children have dug a tunnel under the lake, and the three adults rush outside to stop them from hurting themselves. When the tunnel collapses and Angus is believed to be inside, they panic and jump into the lake to try and save him.
* ''Film/OilyManiac'' has this as the reaction of a group of mobsters when they're stalked by the titular monster. One of them managed to [[OffWithHisHead hack off the monster's head]]...only for it to regrow a new one in ''seconds''. Cue collective panicking.
* In ''Film/OnceUponAWarrior'', this is how the ''entire'' village responds to the news of Sorceress Irendri's awakening.

What makes it so effective is that the audience is still laughing at the "[[MythologyGag get your stinking hands off me you damn dirty ape]]!" line that they are caught completely off-guard by the [[spoiler:WhamLine]].

*** A planetwide version happens offscreen, but sensed by Obi Wan Kenobi:
---->"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror [[EarthShatteringKaboom and were suddenly silenced]]. I fear something terrible has happened."
*** The movie's manga adaptation makes a point of portraying that one exact Mass "Oh, Crap!"
** ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' provokes this reaction across the galaxy when Starkiller Base fires its weapon for the first time. [[spoiler:Not only do we see the Mass "Oh, Crap!" from the people in the Hosnian system, but because it's a hyper light speed weapon, the blast is visible from outside the system. The people on Takodana aren't fully aware of what's just happened, but they can tell it's ''bad''. Only Finn, Han, Chewbacca and Maz have any idea what that light in the sky was, and they are horrified.]]

At first only a few people see him, but Little Bill himself notices when [[ClickHello Munny cocks the double-barelled shotgun he's carrying]] and the whole room follows his gaze and stares at him in shock. After that, barely a man dares move a muscle or breath a word until [[BlastOut the fireworks start]].

After that, barely a man dares move a muscle or breath a word until [[BlastOut the fireworks start]].
-->'''Little Bill:''' We're gonna divide up into four parties, and we'll get all the farms and the trails and make a big circle, and we're bound to come across some[[ClickHello *CLICK*]]body that's seen these...[[OhCrap skunks...]]
