When the bullets, fists, or pies are flying, expect one character to be able to wander through it all without so much as a nick, a scratch, or a drop of cream. Usually Played for Laughs, this trope will have one person able to maneuver about the chaos while completely avoiding damage. This could be either through skillful dodging or simple blind luck. Often the character will take advantage of the pandemonium. If a bar has erupted into battle royale, this guy will be leisurely enjoying the top-shelf booze while bodies slide along the bar and fly into the stacks of bottles behind him. Sometimes they may try to play peacemaker. Other times they are simply trying to find the nearest exit. Sometimes the trope will be played seriously as our hero dodges his way through a vicious firefight to reach some important goal. If they are hit at all it will be just before the final task that accomplishes the mission. Variants of the trope can find the person caught between two combatants and ducking just as their punches slam into one another's faces. Very often the last punch or pie thrown will be the one the character can't avoid. May be combined with The Slow Walk when taken seriously. See also Unflinching Walk, Dissonant Serenity, and While Rome Burns. |

In Support Your Local Sheriff a brawl breaks out as James Garner's character is trying to get some lunch. He says "Hold it!". Everyone freezes. He steps out of range, carefully taking his plate of overpriced food with him, then tells them to "Go ahead on!" He calmly eats as they brawl, discouraging the one man who tries to attack him with a warning glance, and helpfully handing another combatant a two-by-four. Later in the film, he pulls the same trick during a gunfight. | |

In Uncanny X-Men #141, Kitty Pryde undergoes her first Danger Room session. She has to get past a gauntlet of deadly traps to reach a designated area and turn off the simulation. She simply closes her eyes and walks forward, phasing all the way. This scene is notable for being the very first recorded instance of Wolverine laughing. | |

The Simpsons: When Hank Skorpio's lair is attacked by the Army in "You Only Move Twice", Homer seems completely oblivious and simply walks away through the raging battle. He's more concerned about quitting his day job than the grenade that landed at his feet. In "The Twisted World of Marge Simpson", Springfield's Sicilian mobsters are being fought by the Yakuza gangsters brought over from Japan. While everyone else is fighting, however, one tiny Yakuza member in a white suit is standing perfectly still as the fight rages around him. When Marge pulls Homer away from the fight, he complains, "But Marge, that little guy hasn't done anything yet. Look at him. He's going to do something soon, and you know it's going to be good!" Sure enough, as soon as Homer can no longer see the fight, the Yakuza springs into action. We see him later through a window doing backflips. |

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty gave us Fortune who, through some Applied Phlebotinum caused bullets to bend around her and grenade to defuse near her body. That coupled with her huge railgun made her practically impossible to defeat. | |

DC Animated Universe: In the Batman: The Animated Series episode "The Clock King", the eponymous villain can easily walk into the Clockworks Area of the Clock Tower without showing vertigo, while Batman slips and fails. He even can do it when the Clock Tower collapses. Darkseid is usually shown in this manner. After, for instance, he knocks someone through a wall, he will come casually strolling through the hole that was made, usually with his hands clasped behind his back. This is also his signature fighting style in Injustice 2. |

Early in Trigun before The Reveal of Vash's bizarre biology, this is his defining quality. He can casually and instinctually avoid any amount of gunfire, even when it's directed specifically at him. Once he even danced down the street wearing headphones while a gang unloaded at him. When one commented how skilled he was at dodging another replied that "the idiot doesn't even know he's being shot at". | |

Lord Rust in the Discworld novels. An Upper-Class Twit to end all Upper-Class Twits who thinks he's a military man because of his breeding, he's been described as confusing "idiot stubbornness with bravery." In Snuff, it's mentioned that for all the horrific losses his regiments would suffer in battle, Rust himself would often emerge without a scratch, "the arrows turning aside in midair to avoid striking him." | |

For dramatic effect, apocalyptic choirs are singing in the background, cementing this moment as Scorpius' great Villainous Breakdown. | |

A dramatic variant from Mass Effect 3: Mordin Solus walks briskly through an exploding building on Tuchanka on his way to cure the genophage, shielding his eyes from shrapnel, but never breaking stride. Depending on your exact choices, this can either be Subverted by making Mordin struggle a great deal to reach the end and succumb to his bullet wound before making it, or he'll actually sing quietly to himself as he makes the trip. | |

Jack does this in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. After the fight starts, the man starts wandering aimlessly through the pub, randomly trying on people's hats to replace the one he lost at the beginning of the movie. He narrowly avoids getting injured in some spectacularly funny ways (such as ducking to get a dropped hat off the floor and avoiding a flying bottle that smashes on the wall above him). | |

Stan remains standing at the desk, listening to music on his headphones while the library is destroyed around him. He, of course, remains oblivious because Headphones Equal Isolation. Spidey doesn't even need to try to avoid the police's bullets. Of course, the one stray shot after the chief calls "Cease Fire" cripples his leg. |

The classic Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" has Cyrano Jones enjoying some quality time with the liquor synthesizer while Humans and Klingons are happily beating each other with the furniture. Then holding a drink well above his head so it doesn't get spilled, he waltzes through the brawlers until he gets to the door, whereupon it's snatched out of his hand by the bartender who's just entered having fetched a squad of Red Shirts. Only slightly abashed, Cyrano removes another full glass from his pocket and drinks that instead. | |

BoBoiBoy: In "Emotive Chemical Y", the heroes go to Adu Du's underground base to find the antidote to their emotionally manipulated states. Adu Du obstructs them by setting up a hazardous hall of traps. The newly confident Gopal is about to suggest a plan, but Yaya lackadaisically runs past several sawblades, swinging knives and spiked crushing walls, even pausing to let a pair of axes swing past her face before continuing. When she opens the door on the other side, the traps deactivate, which displeases Adu Du but Probe convinces him that he meant to allow them to see the other traps they made. | |

Lucifer (2016): In "God Johnson", Lucifer gets the inmates of a mental hospital to start a riot so he and God Johnson can break out of there. The scene is combined with Lyrical Dissonance as they stride through the chaos to "In A Blackout" by Hamilton Leithauser, dodging hurled objects and clearly enjoying themselves. | |

While it is commonly overshadowed in the public consciousness by the carnage of Omaha Beach a few miles east, the first wave of American troops to land on Utah Beach was almost a bloodbath. The destroyer USS Corry, leading the landing craft in, struck a mine and sank, so they landed in the wrong place thanks to strong currents. The Germans immediately directed artillery on the leading elements of the 4th Infantry Division. As the troops took whatever cover they could find, the 4th ID's Executive Officer, Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr. (son of the famous President), recognized that the artillery was intensifying, the Germans were shifting machine guns to sweep the beach, and his men would soon be pinned down. Standing up amid the shrapnel and bullets, Roosevelt strode (actually limped with a cane) across the beach, waving for his men to follow him. Led by Roosevelt, the 4th Division quickly overran the beach defenses before the Germans could react, saving hundreds of lives. Roosevelt was awarded the Medal of Honor but died of a heart attack before he could receive it. | |

Various mediums portray Ares, the God of War, to do this is the midst of heated battles. Cause ya'know, he's the god of war. Justice League Unlimited Hercules: The Legendary Journeys often portrayed him as a raving fanboy getting front-row seat action. Subverted in The Iliad, in which Ares is impaled by a spear thrown by a soldier under the guidance of his sister and subsequently is forced to withdraw from the battlefield. Used in the game God of War: Ares is depicted as being enormous, yet still eludes the arrows of the enemy. |

Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack does this in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. After the fight starts, the man starts wandering aimlessly through the pub, randomly trying on people's hats to replace the one he lost at the beginning of the movie. He narrowly avoids getting injured in some spectacularly funny ways (such as ducking to get a dropped hat off the floor and avoiding a flying bottle that smashes on the wall above him). Lord Cutler Beckett's death scene in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End was very much the serious version. He's walking down the stairs, which are blowing up behind him with chunks of wood flying around, and finally dies engulfed in the fireball which annihilates his ship. All while so deep in a quiet internal breakdown he doesn't even blink as fragments of his own ship fly past his face. |

An interesting variant crops up in The Dambusters; Wing Commander Guy Gibson strolls past an almighty Bar Brawl that's taking place just off-screen, his Stiff Upper Lip undisturbed by the occasional chair being hurled through a window into his path or a man being tackled to the ground by two others and forcibly relieved of his trousers. This is not strictly accurate, incidentally; by his own admission in his memoirs, Gibson was just as much the Work Hard, Play Hard type as the rest of the squadron. | |

The machine is on fire and collapsing, and all the millions of weapons inside it are being constantly fired, creating a true Bullet Hell.

Blackhawk Down: Lt. Col. McKnight had a habit of walking around in the open during intense urban firefights, while bullets and shrapnel land all around him, at one point standing in the open talking to a Ranger who is taking cover to avoid being shot (actually, he was announcing the arrival of his convoy of reinforcements for the besieged Rangers by asking him "Need a lift?") Interestingly enough, the one time McKnight gets injured is while riding shotgun in a Humvee barreling down the city streets and a lucky shot grazes him. | |
