A pair of doomed fighter pilots in Fate/Zero go in for a closer look at the Cthulhu-ish monster Caster summoned. One of them gets swallowed by it; the other provides an opportunity for Berserker to demonstrate his ability to wield any weapon with perfect skill. Neither of them survives. | |

The Empire Strikes Back. Luke tells Han he's going to check out a meteorite crater, and immediately gets attacked by an ice monster. Unusually for this trope, this is just a coincidence, not an ambush by the thing he went to investigate. Though conveniently for the Empire, if had had investigated, he would have discovered the probe droid. | |

Throwing an item in the Hitman games (a coin, a hammer, you name it) will act as a distraction, and will casually get the attention of anyone nearby who can hear the sound. Generally, the closest person will take a look. You can of course use this to whack them round the head, take their clothes, and dump them in a cupboard. | |

Alien. Promptly followed by one of the most frightening moments in movies. Slightly justified in that investigating the derelict ship was company policy, and because Ash was trying to trick them into bringing a living alien specimen aboard. |

In the first episode of Ultraman, Hayata sees two strange meteors and says the phrase as he moves in to investigate. Sure enough, he gets so close that he collides with Ultraman's meteor and crashes. | |
