When a character of morally-dubious fiber — be they Villain Protagonist or the Big Bad and his goons — goes out and commits various crimes in a montage. These crimes can range from Bank Robbery and cat-burglary, to Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking. Usually done to show their growing infamy and success, the bad guys going from two-bit carjackers to infamous felons in a small, easily digestible format. It would also sometimes be displayed with a Spinning Paper.

After the title character of Megamind (supposedly) destroys his life-long nemesis Metro-Man and declares himself Metro City's ruler, he and Minion go on a crime spree where they graffiti the city, steal all of the art from the Art Museum and have pillow fights with (presumably stolen) cash, all set to "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne.

Happens twice in Dick Tracy after "Big Boy" Caprice unites the different gangs and factions. The first time, the crimes are all actually being foiled, thanks to Tracy and his unit having a secret transmitter above Caprice's meeting room, allowing them to foil the heists. After the transmitter is discovered and Tracy is framed for murder, a second montage occurs, and this one is much more successful for the criminals.

Road to Perdition shows rogue hitman Michael Sullivan robbing banks in Illinois and Indiana, assisted by his eldest son. Pointedly, Sullivan is only draining the accounts of Connor Rooney, the ne'er-do-well son of crime boss John Rooney. Connor has been siphoning off funds from his father's "business," and salting them away in various banks. Sullivan aims to either compel Connor to confront him, or expose his graft to his father.

Brandon Rogers:
In "NORMAL BRITISH SERIES - Ep 1: Being Normal", after Adrian and Everly become an Outlaw Couple, we see a montage of them going cross-country, committing robberies, killing people who they "think" deserve it and swapping identities to avoid the law.
In "NORMAL BRITISH SERIES - Ep 3: A Place for Good", Queen Elizabeth II has the Mingeworthys do various things that she is too "chicken-shit" to do herself. The list includes robbing the nearest bank, kidnap a baby, putting that baby in danger (which they interpret as giving it back to its mother), stiffing a medical bill, getting an Uber-driver fired, landing a career in finance, steal a work of art, derail a train, pour acid on children, pollute the water supply, fart, sit on the elderly, and kidnap and Fed-Exing Bobby Worst so that the Queen could hold him hostage. While this is going on, there is a Running Gag where the orphans sent to pretend to be their children keep getting killed (usually by them) and replaced.
