Line 55:
* One of the more famous film examples is the one between ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]]'' and Mary Jane after Spidey does an awesome [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] on a group of would-be-rapists.
* In ''[[Batman Forever]],'' Dick Grayson (pre-Robin) gets one of these. In this case, the girl invokes this trope and Grayson was more then happy to comply.
{{quote| '''Robin:'''I could definitely get used to this super hero gig.}}
* Subverted in ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'': After Eddie defeats the Villain and rescues Jessica, she plants lots of kisses... on Roger.
* The movie ''[[Labyrinth]]'' sets it up for disaster when the Goblin King warns Hoggle if Sarah kisses him, he'll redirect them to the Bog of Eternal Stench. Naturally, after he rescues her from some fireheads she kisses the side of his head, ignoring his protests, and the two of them get redirected.
Line 68:
** It was a mutual kiss, really; she was also ''running towards him''.
* In [[Robert E. Howard]]'s [[Conan the Barbarian]] story "A Witch Shall Be Born", Ivga seeks out Valerius after the victory.
{{quote| ''As Valerius started to follow Taramis across the square towards the palace, through a lane opened by the wildly cheering multitude, he felt a soft hand slipped timidly into his sinewy forgers and turned to receive the slender body of Ivga in his arms. He crushed her to him and drank her kisses with the gratitude of a weary fighter who has attained rest at last through tribulation and storm.''}}
 
 
Line 91:
** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'', a subversion occurs if you do a little [[Sequence Breaking]]--normally, you would get the blue Zora's Tunic by saving King Zora, but you can also buy it. Why you'd want to do this when you can get it for ''free'' isn't obvious, but if you do, he'll try to give Link a kiss instead. Yes, the ''[[Ho Yay|king.]]'' Link [[Heroic Mime|never says anything, of course]], but he quite obviously adamantly refuses--the king seems disappointed.
** Averted in the [[The Legend of Zelda CDI Games|CD-i games]]. The CD-i games are based on the cartoon series where Link will repeatedly try and fail to get a kiss from Zelda. After Ganon is defeated:
{{quote| '''Gwonam''': You, Link, are the hero of Koridai!<br />
'''Link''': I guess that's worth a kiss, huh?<br />
'''Zelda''': Hah! }}
* The ''[[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]]'' series just ''loves'' this trope:
Line 142:
* In ''[[Gargoyles]]'', at the end of an episode focusing largely on the Trio's affections for Angela, she gives them all a kiss on the cheek, at least partly out of a desire to quell the competition between them.
* An episode of the classic ''[[Jonny Quest]]'' had Jonny and Hadji escaping this after saving a couple of women, with Dr. Quest joking about returning to the issue in ten years or so.
{{quote| '''Jonny''': ''(fervently agreeing)'' Yeah, see you in ten years!<br />
'''Hadji''': It's a date! }}
* In the ''[[WITCH (animation)|WITCH]]'' episode "I is for Illusion", Cornelia is sent flying by a monster. Caleb pops out of Meridian and catches her just in time, and she rewards him with a kiss that Blunk has to pull them both away from after several seconds.
