In a Duel to the Death involving guns, two characters stand back to back, walk ten paces and then see who can draw the fastest. Except it doesn't usually go like that. One of them will a) leg it, b) fall into a pond c) duck or d) prove their cowardice by turning early and trying to shoot their opponent In the Back. If it's a comedy, the person counting out the ten paces may just keep going, with the combatants ending up several miles apart. Actually almost never used in real duels. Most started with combatants at the prescribed distance, with one or two lines in front of them that they were not allowed to cross. Depending on the agreed rules, you might be permitted to advance to your "barrier", but once you fired, you had to stand still until your opponent fired. Though, under the Irish Code Duello of 1777, either version was allowed and did in fact take place, with the walk-to-your-mark-and-fire version done by the ones who really didn't want to kill the other — it gave both opponents a chance to think it over, and often resulted in the practice of "deloping" — firing to miss, in order to declare satisfaction and end the duel before you drew your opponent's blood. Bystanders and seconds often were the losers here. Much less formal examples of stand, quick-draw, fire often show up under Showdown at High Noon. |

The Far Side One cartoon mocks the trope, with the person counting off the steps saying, "Oh, the heck with it! Just turn around and shoot!" Another showed a mortally-wounded duelist lying on the ground muttering "I could have sworn.. you said.. eleven steps.." |

John Wick: Chapter 4: John challenges the Marquis de Gramont to a formal duel, but the Marquis orders his second, Caine to duel in his place. In the formal rules, they walk thirty paces, turn, and only fire when the Harbringer tells them to fire. If they survive, they walk ten paces closer and again fire when the Harbringer tells them to. After doing this three times, Caine only has superficial wounds while John is so wounded he can't stand. Wanting the glory of killing John, the Marquis swaps places with Caine and walks up to John to shoot him, only for it to be revealed John didn't fire the third time. He shoots the Marquis, killing him. | |

Wild and Woolly Hare had Bugs challenging Yosemite Sam to a ten pace duel. Sam agrees, starts to take ten paces, but skips directly to "ten" after "five" and turns to fire. Bugs, anticipating the dirty play, took his steps backwards so Sam's guns were extended past where Bugs was when he fired, whereupon Bugs kisses Sam on the nose. | |

In the Australian historical comedy Bligh, Dirty Coward John McArthur is rehearsing for his upcoming duel with Governor Bligh, and does the turn early and shoot trick, then rapidly counts off the rest of the paces. The duel becomes moot when Bligh bans private ownership of firearms, leaving them to fight it out via the legal system. Hilarity Ensues. | |

One of the two legal forms of duels in Honor Harrington, where it's called the Dreyfus protocol and regarded as the more socially acceptable option. The duelists go to 30 paces and are only allowed a single shot before either can declare the duel over. The other option, the Ellington protocol, is basically a Showdown at High Noon. One of the usual subversions appears in Field of Dishonor, in a duel between Honor Harrington and Pavel Young, Earl North Hollow — despite the fact that firing early violates the Code Duello, and is punished by immediate death. To be fair, Honor had previously won a duel against a professional duelist — the one Young hired — so it's not like he had a chance playing it fair. Her political enemies would make hay over the fact that she shot an unarmed man — while ignoring the circumstances as to why his gun was empty and the fact that the Marshal of the Field would have killed him moments later over them had she hesitated — for the rest of the series. |

The Simpsons: In "E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)", Homer takes to slapping people in the face with a glove and challenging them to duels to intimidate them into giving him whatever he wants. However, when he does it to a Southern Gentleman, the gentleman accepts his challenge. After spending most of the episode living on a farm to avoid the duel, Homer returns home and has to fight him. During the customary ten steps the Texan is distracted by a pie Marge cooked. Homer, in a move that was idiotic even for him, reminded the man that the duel was not over. The Texan apologized for his rudeness and promptly shot Homer in the shoulder. | |

Looney Tunes: Magnificently subverted twofold in "Jack-Wabbit and the Beanstalk". Bugs suggests to the giant a twenty-paces battle, thinking that with the giant's long strides, he'll be out of his hair...until he sees the giant coming at him from the other way having walked around the entire globe on those 20 steps and stopping right in front of him on pace number twenty. Wild and Woolly Hare had Bugs challenging Yosemite Sam to a ten pace duel. Sam agrees, starts to take ten paces, but skips directly to "ten" after "five" and turns to fire. Bugs, anticipating the dirty play, took his steps backwards so Sam's guns were extended past where Bugs was when he fired, whereupon Bugs kisses Sam on the nose. In Hare Trimmed, Bugs paces in place and delays the count ("...nine, nine and a half, nine and three-quarters, nine and three-sixteenths, eleven-sixteenths, twelve-sixteenths, ten...") just to make sure Sam was in the right spot at the right time to get run over by a bus ("Yep, he's right on time."). In Mississippi Hare, the ten paces Bugs insists on causes his opponent to walk off the side of the riverboat. How Foghorn Leghorn works Elvis and Pappy during the duel in The Dixie Fryer. He gets both their bullets in return that blow his beak off. |

One episode of Jessie sees Ravi challenge Luke to a duel after mistakenly assuming Luke made a move on the girl he had a crush on. It's Played for Laughs — Luke doesn't take it seriously (especially compared to Ravi, who shows up in full Revolutionary War-era costume) and the duel quickly devolves into the two using items from a hot dog stand as improvised weapons against each other. In the end, the misunderstanding is cleared and they make up. | |

Dream SMP: Dream and Tommy have a clearly Hamilton-inspired one of these over a bridge for L'Manburg's independence. The primary difference was that they used bows and arrows, not actual guns, since those don't exist in Minecraft. Ultimately, this ends with Dream canonically killing Tommy (leaving him down to one life), but L'Manburg still gains independence due to Tommy giving up his discs Cat and Mellohi to Dream, which the two had a conflict over prior to the L'Manburg War for Independence. In the episode "The Wild West" of the spin-off series Tales From the SMP, this was how the problem of the bandits were dealt with in the end, as all three were killed in "ten-step standoffs" at high noon.

In Sharpe, the titular character normally duels with swords but takes part in a pistol duel in Sharpe's Revenge. His opponent takes the first shot and misses and tries to talk Sharpe out of taking his own shot. Sharpes decides to shoot him in the rear. This scene plays out differently in the book and the film. In the film Sharpe deliberately shoots the man in the butt to humiliate him, in the book, Sharpe intends to gut-shoot the man and leave him to die a painful and drawn-out death, but misses and only hits his ass. |

Ghosts (UK): In "The Thomas Thorne Affair" Thomas is shot in the back because his cousin (and second) Francis had lied about the pace count (telling him it was 20 paces rather than 10) so that his opponent can easily shoot him as he had already taken the correct amount of paces. | |

North and South (U.S.): A southern aristocrat "demands satisfaction" from Charles, who can barely hold a sword— let along a dueling pistol. With Orry's help, Charles wins out in the end. Forbes, acting under Ashton's orders, deliberately goads Billy into a duel with an unloaded pistol. Nice and legal. |

The fifth duel in The Duellists is taken with pistols ten paces apart during the middle of the French retreat from Moscow during the Napoleonic Wars. The two duellists get interrupted by Cossacks and end up expending their shots holding off the enemy. The film's final duel also uses pistols. This time, however, the two don't face off and instead hunt each other through the woods. | |

The Man with the Golden Gun (pictured) features this between Bond and Scaramanga, with Nick Nack shouting out the twenty paces... only for it to turn out that Scaramanga bolted somewhere down the line, turning the thing into a hunt through his lair.

In the Lucky Luke album The Tenderfoot, immigrant British gentleman Waldo Badminton insists on taking the ten paces, much to the bewilderment of the bad guy, Jack Ready ("That ain't how it's done! We stand facing each other, and the first one to draw..."). Jack Ready manages to fire first without breaking the rules, but breaks down and humiliatingly surrenders when he sees Badminton unfazed, which means he missed and Badminton is now free to shoot him. He had actually managed to hit Badminton in the arm, disabling his shooting hand, but the latter kept up Stiff Upper Lip through it. | |

Played with in the Futurama movie Beast with a Billion Backs. Bender, having challenged Calculon to a duel, takes about three of the ten steps then turns and fires his raygun. Of course, since these are incredibly advanced weapons, the shot takes off Calculons arm, cuts a line through a lake, pierces through a skyscraper, and destroys the headquarters of the very club they were dueling over. | |

Simon attempts to delope, Anthony aims at him and is hesitant long enough for Daphne to interrupt the duel just in time. Then again, Anthony's hand is visibly shaking and Simon says later that he was always a terrible shot. | |

Rocky and Bullwinkle: "The Weather Lady": During the $50 payment with the Weather Lady fortune telling machine, Bullwinkle slapped a fly on Boris' cheek causing the town judge to force the two to a ten pace duel. Since it was a beautiful day, the others went picnicking with the judge still counting while eating and all forget about the duel. "Peabody's Improbable History" did this as well. William Shakespeare and Francis Bacon were fighting leading them both in a ten paces and turn duel. The fog was heavy and Peabody's plan was to erect a brick wall at the crossfire blocking both bullets. He managed to erect the wall in nine-tenths of a second. |

In the first (by order of events) Horatio Hornblower story, Horatio ends up in a duel with another midshipman. It's actually no paces and turn; since his opponent is a better shot, Hornblower creates the "even chance" by having one pistol loaded and the other empty, chosen blindly, and firing at point blank range.note Hornblower was at the time so miserable that he considered his own death equally as desirable as victory. Neither is wounded. Later on, the captain tells Horatio that he had arranged for both pistols to be unloaded, not wanting to lose either. He then says that while proving you have the courage to fight a duel is good, having the sense to not get into any more is even better, and has Horatio transferred to another ship so that he doesn't butt heads with the other midshipman anymore. | |

Dream and Tommy have a clearly Hamilton-inspired one of these over a bridge for L'Manburg's independence. The primary difference was that they used bows and arrows, not actual guns, since those don't exist in Minecraft. Ultimately, this ends with Dream canonically killing Tommy (leaving him down to one life), but L'Manburg still gains independence due to Tommy giving up his discs Cat and Mellohi to Dream, which the two had a conflict over prior to the L'Manburg War for Independence. | |

One of the Silly Symphonies, "Little Hiawatha", has the title character hunting a rabbit. The rabbit is so frozen with fear that Hiawathan can't bring himself to just shoot it, so he gives the rabbit a bow and arrow, presses backs with him, and steps six paces, then turning and aiming again. The rabbit is still terrified and doesn't budge; Hiawatha ends up just shooing it away, to the delight of the forest creatures nearby. This saves him later. | |

On The Curse of Monkey Island, to get a pirate to join your crew you have to engage him in a pistol duel, although only Guybrush moves the ten paces. He'll win every time, so you have to challenge him to a banjo contest instead... and then he wins that one too, so to finally get him to join you you need to grab the duel pistol again and blow the banjo to pieces. The sheer dickishness of the move proves to him that you are a true pirate. | |

In the Enemy at the Door episode "The Prussian Officer", Reinicke challenges the Prussian officer von Bulow to a duel after von Bulow humiliates him (and inadvertantly gets the woman he loved killed) and escapes official censure. Von Bulow accepts, despite Major Richter reminding them that duelling is illegal. The duel takes the form of pistols at dawn; the duellists are depicted pacing away from each other, then standing facing in opposite directions until the umpire calls "Fire!" Reinicke turns and fires first — and misses, leaving von Bulow the opportunity to return fire at his leisure. After letting Reinicke sweat a bit, von Bulow deliberately and obviously fires wide, makes a sneering comment about Reinicke's aim, and walks away. | |

In Against All Flags, Williams tells Hawke the story of how Spitfire killed another captain in a pistol duel for laying hands on her without consent, even though she could have just had him executed. She keeps his duelling pistols in her shop and uses them for target practice when she is upset. | |

Both types of duel feature in Kubrick's Barry Lyndon. There's also a twist in the "stand at your mark" version: the duelists take it in turns to fire, based on a coin toss. There's a memorable scene where one duelist, having missed his shot, throws up in terror realizing that his opponent now has carte blanche to shoot him in cold blood. This is actually how most duels of that period worked. Pistols were horribly inaccurate and many duelists deloped anyway; it was also considered very bad form to aim carefully. The point was more to test whether both parties cared enough about the issue to take the risk. | |

In the Old-Timey cartoon "Parsnips A-Plenty" from Homestar Runner, Strong Bad challenged The Homestar Runner to a five-pace duel. The Homestar Runner just stood there and said "What?" Somehow (we never find out due to a "missing scene") the duel ends with Strong Bad falling off a cliff. | |

Parodied in Family Guy where Peter imagines what the American forefathers would have done without guns. Cut to a duel scene, where both participants take their ten paces, turn around and start slapping each other. | |

Non-lethal variant: In New Game!, when Umiko challenges Kou to an airsoft pistol duel, they take the expected ten paces, but neither allows themselves to actually get hit after shooting. | |

Pierre and Dolokhov's duel in War and Peace goes swimmingly. Someone gets shot, everyone goes home more emotionally mature. | |

In the Legends of Tomorrow episode "Stressed Western", Sara duels the Villain of the Week like this. He turns before they've taken the ten paces and shoots her cleanly through the head. But it turns out that's not enough to kill her any more. | |

Anybody stupid enough to challenge Deadshot to one of these will get shot in the back at around three. | |

In The Song Rising, Warden is shown training a few members of the Mime Order in spirit combat. He instructs the two volunteers to turn their backs on each other, take three steps, and wait for the countdown before attacking. | |
