** ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': As much of a horrendous, sanctimonious, broken wretch of a human being as [[spoiler:[[Characters/MonsterVerseEmmaRussell Emma Russell]]]] is, she has a counter-argument for nearly every condemnation that Monarch and Mark Russell throw at her during her MotiveRant about her EcoTerrorist plan to release the Titans, and she often [[VillainHasAPoint makes a very valid point]]. When Serizawa calls her out on meddling with forces that no human being understands and gambling with billions of people's lives, she instantly retorts that he was gambling with billions of lives ''first'', and that under his direction Monarch has practically failed to do anything about stopping the LethallyStupid government and military's plan.

Times where an antagonist [[ShutUpKirk rejects the heroes']] [[KirkSummation attempt to reason with them]] in LiveActionFilms.
----

* In an early scene in ''Film/Batman1989'', [[IntrepidReporter Alex Knox]] is trying to get information from the very uncooperative [[DirtyCop Lt. Eckhardt]]:
-->'''Eckhardt:''' Don't be writing this crap in the newspaper, Knox, [[ShameIfSomethingHappened it will ruin your already worthless reputation]].\\
'''Knox:''' Lieutenant. Lotsa punks in town are scared stiff! They say he drinks blood. They say he can't be killed!\\
'''Eckhardt:''' [[DiscussedTrope I say, you're full of shit Knox]]. Oh, [[ColdHam you can quote me on that]].
* In ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'', Poison Ivy does this while seducing Robin.
** At Freeze's hideout, she ambushes Robin after he is knocked aside by Bane. Robin tries to place her under arrest, but she is unintimidated and instead just twists his efforts with some flirting and offers him [[KissOfDeath a kiss]] instead.
--->'''Poison Ivy''': Hey there, [[TermsOfEndangerment pretty birdie]].\\
'''Robin''': Give yourself up! If you surrender-\\
'''Poison Ivy''': To you? ''(blows her [[LoveIsInTheAir pheromone dust]] in his face)'' Polly want a kiss?
** Later in Ivy's lair, she finally succeeds in seducing Robin and shares a deadly kiss with him. She takes a moment to mock Robin over this in pretend sadness while rubbing noses with him and gently telling him it is time for him to die. But Robin reveals he saw through her seductions and wore [[CrazyPrepared rubber lips]] to protect himself from her poison. Ivy, realizing Robin tricked her and [[TakeThatKiss stole a kiss from her]], responds by silently glaring at Robin for a moment before suddenly shoving him into her plant infested lily pond to drown him and mocks him further by waving him goodbye as he drowns, [[DatingCatwoman officially ending their "relationship" by "breaking up with him"]], ensuring she got the last laugh.
--->'''Poison Ivy''': One kiss...my love... ''(whisper)'' [[MotivationalKiss for luck]].\\
''(After a moment of silence she and Robin close their eyes and slowly lean in, with Ivy smirking smugly, and share a passionate kiss)''\\
'''Poison Ivy''': ''(in mock sadness)'' ''Bad'' luck I'm afraid. Time to die little Robin.\\
'''Robin''': I hate to disappoint you but, ''(peels off his upper rubber lip)'' rubber lips are [[NoSell immune to your charms]].\\
''(Poison Ivy [[DeathGlare glares at Robin]] before leaping forward and shoving him off her throne and into her pond. As he is slowly drowned by plants, Ivy [[VillainExitStageLeft begins walking away with a smirk]] and waves goodbye.)''\\
'''Poison Ivy''': See ya!
* In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', [[TheSnarkKnight Iron Man]] delivers a pretty firm shutdown to [[TheCape Captain America]] before he can get his inspirational speech in.
-->'''Cap''': Listen, when I see a situation pointed south, I can't ignore it. Sometimes I wish I could--\\
'''Iron Man''': [[ArmorPiercingResponse No, you don't.]]
** There's also Tony's response after finding out who really killed his parents.
--->'''Cap''': This isn't going to change what happened.\\
'''Iron Man''': I don't care. He killed my mom.
* ''Film/TheChroniclesOfRiddick'': The Lord Marshal does this to an outspoken prisoner trying to rally the others against conversion by ''ripping out his opposition's soul''. Considering that Helion's essentially a religion melting pot world, this is actually the perfect way to get to them.
* In ''Film/{{Dragonheart}}'', Bowen hunted dragons because he mistakenly believed being given a dragon's heart corrupted [[EvilPrince Einon]]. When they clash for the first time, Bowen begs Einon to remember the Old Code. Einon's response makes it painfully clear to Bowen that Einon was EvilAllAlong.
-->'''Bowen:''' But... you spoke the words...\\
'''Einon:''' I vomited them up because I couldn't stomach them! Because I knew it was what you wanted to hear!
* Another great moment from ''Film/GangsOfNewYork'':
-->'''Monk:''' Citizens of the Five Points! Mr. Bill Cutting is attempting to draw me into an argument that would no doubt end in bloodshed and the compromising of my office! What do ya think? Should I engage and silence this relic of the ancient law? Or shall I be your chosen voice, in a new testament, in the New World! ''(a long pause)'' There you are, Bill. The people have spoken: the very notion of violent reprisal benumbs them. Come on up; let's see if we can resolve our differences the democratic way.\\
''(Bill begins climbing the hill towards the barbershop, and Monk turns his back to enter; a split second later, Bill's cleaver lands square in Monk's back; he goes crashing to the ground, dropping his club in the process)''\\
'''Bill:''' That, my friends, is the minority vote. ''(to Monk)'' Now you've tasted my mutton, how d'you like it, huh? Look. I want you to see this...\\
''(he takes up Monk's club, carves another notch into it, and shows it to him)''\\
'''Bill:''' This is ''you,'' right here: notch forty-five, you Irish bog .\\
''(he brings the club down on Monk's head with a sickening thud)''
* Done gloriously in ''Film/HotFuzz''.
-->'''Reverend Shooter:''' ''Stop!'' Stop this, ''please!'' Let us stop this ''mindless'' violence! Nicholas, my son... You may not be a man of God, but ''surely'' you're a man of ''peace''.\\
'''Nicholas Angel:''' I may not be a man of God, Reverend. But I know right, and I know wrong. And I have the good grace to know which is which.\\
'''Reverend Shooter:''' ...Oh, fuck off, grasshopper! ''(draws two concealed guns and shoots at him)''
* ''Film/JurassicWorld'': When Masrani blows up at Wu over the ''Indominus rex's'' rampage, Wu throws it all back in his face, telling him that ''he'' was the one who demanded a "cooler" dinosaur, that you can't expect the ''I. rex'' to have exaggerated predator features without the [[SuperPersistentPredator corresponding behavioral traits]], and that none of the dinosaurs are "natural" due to having DNA from other animals. [[spoiler:It falls rather flat when we find out that this is exactly what Wu ''wanted'' to happen.]]
* In ''{{Film/Lincoln}}'', the amendment is passed and Lincoln finally sits down with the Confederate delegation to discuss terms of surrender. Confident he can talk them into rejoining the union, he starts talking about individual freedoms:
-->'''Abraham Lincoln:''' Slavery, sir, it's done. If we submit ourselves to law, Alex, even submit to losing freedoms — the freedom to oppress, for instance — we may discover other freedoms previously unknown to us. Had you kept faith with democratic process, as frustrating as that can be—\\
'''John Campbell:''' Come, sir, spare us ''at least'' these pieties. Did you defeat us with ballots?!\\
'''Alexander Stephens:''' How have you held your union together? Through ''democracy''? How many hundreds of thousands have died during your administration? Your Union, sir, is bonded in cannon fire and death.
* Ivan Ooze reacts this way to Zordon in ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'' (complaining that "I've only been outta the egg fifteen minutes, and I've already gotta listen to one of your speeches."), ironically right before he goes into a [[LargeHam rather long rant]] of his own.
* ''Franchise/MonsterVerse'':
** ''Film/KongSkullIsland'': When James Conrad and Mason Weaver try to prevent [[GeneralRipper Lt. Colonel Packard]] from killing Kong, Packard bluntly shuts Weaver up when she tries to tell him that there's more in the world than war and revenge.
--->'''Weaver''': ''Stop!'' The world is bigger than this.\\
'''Packard''': Bitch, please!
** ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': As much of a horrendous, sanctimonious, broken wretch of a human being as [[spoiler:[[Characters/MonsterVerseEmmaRussell Emma Russell]]]] is, she has a counter-argument for nearly every condemnation that Monarch and Mark Russell throw at her during her MotiveRant about her EcoTerrorist plan to release the Titans, and she often [[VillainHasAPoint makes a very valid point]]. When Serizawa calls her out on meddling with forces that no human being understands and gambling with billions of people's lives, she instantly retorts that he was gambling with billions of lives ''first'', and that under his direction Monarch has practically failed to do anything about stopping the LethallyStupid government and military's plan.
* ''Film/ShanghaiNoon'': When [[HannibalLecture Lo Fong chastises Chon for his blind obedience]], Chon retorts "At least I still have my honor." In response, Lo Fong holds a dagger in front of Chon, saying "Slaves have no honor", [[TraumaticHaircut and cuts Chon's queue off]].
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry''. Azetbur gives a ShutUpKirk speech to... Chekov.
--->'''Chekov:''' We do believe all planets have a sovereign claim to inalienable human rights.\\
'''Azetbur:''' ''Inalien''... If only you could hear yourselves? ''Human'' rights. Why the very name is racist. [[HumansAreBastards The Federation is no more than a 'homo sapiens' only club.]]
** ''Film/StarTrekGenerations''. Picard tries to convince Dr. Soran not to destroy Veridian Three.
--->'''Picard''': What you're doing is no different than when the Borg destroyed your world. They killed millions, too. Including your wife and children.\\
'''Soran''': Nice try. There was a time when I wouldn't hurt a fly. Then the Borg came. They showed me that there is one constant in this universe ... death. We're all going to die sometime. It's just a question of how and when.
** In ''Film/StarTrekNemesis'': Picard tries to urge Shinzon to stop his attack against the Federation.
--->'''Shinzon:''' It's too late.\\
'''Picard:''' Never! Never! You still have a choice. Make the right one now.\\
'''Shinzon:''' I can't ...fight what I am!\\
'''Picard:''' Yes, you can!\\
'''Shinzon:''' I'll show you my true nature. Our nature. And as Earth dies, remember that I will always, forever, be Shinzon of Remus! And my voice shall echo through time long after yours has faded to the dim memory.
** A more literal example in ''Film/StarTrek2009'', Kirk is trying to drive Spock into a blind rage to prove he is [[NotSoStoic emotionally compromised]] by talking trash about his [[spoiler: recently deceased]] mother. Spock, in [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown the ensuing beat-down, grabs Kirk by the throat and slams him down onto a console]].
* In ''Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'', the Judge walks in on his ward Johanna (for whom he is harbouring a paedophilic crush) packing to elope with her lover Anthony. Knowing she's been caught, Johanna nevertheless tells him contemptuously that "a gentleman knocks before entering a lady's room". His response?
-->'''Turpin:''' Indeed he does, ''but I see no lady''.
* A subdued example in ''Film/WeeWillieWinkie'', since Col. Williams, the commander of a British regiment on the Afghan frontier, isn't the bad guy. But he has been somewhat antagonistic to his widowed daughter-in-law's romance with dashing Lt. Brandes. When Col. Williams places Brandes under arrest for leaving his post to go walking with Joyce, thus leaving the camp exposed to a raid by the Afghans, both Joyce and Joyce's daughter Priscilla rip into him for picking on Brandes. Williams responds with a Shut Up, Kirk! speech in which he calmly explains that discipline is a matter of life and death on the frontier and indiscipline costs lives. Then he tells Joyce and Priscilla that if they can't respect that, they should leave.
* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
** Magneto delivers a very effective one to Xavier at the climax of ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. It probably didn't help that Xavier tried to finish off his speech by invoking the [[JustFollowingOrders Nuremberg Defence]] on a Holocaust survivor.
-->'''Charles Xavier:''' There are ''thousands'' of men on those ships! Good, honest, ''innocent'' men! They're just following orders! ''(gets an OhCrap expression as he realizes what he just said)''\\
'''Magneto:''' ''(frowns and turns)'' I've been at the mercy of [[ThoseWackyNazis men "just following orders."]] Never again.
** In ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'', right as Deadpool is gearing up to kill Francis, Colossus stops him and launches into a speech about what makes a hero and showing mercy to your enemies. Deadpool interrupts him by shooting Francis in the head. PlayedWith in that Deadpool is an AntiHero, not an antagonist, and shuts Colossus up with a gunshot rather than words.
