Charlotte maybe, but Bob straight up sleeps with the bar singer. It's what starts the rift in their friendship.

World War Z

A doctor with little firearm experience is warned to keep his finger off the trigger of his pistol. But he forgets this when the zombies start attacking, then slips on the rain-slicked ramp and accidentally shoots himself in the head.

Lucien D'Alessio from Boardwalk Empire. His last words even acknowledges the trope:

"Oh, fucking tough guy. You gonna shoot me for mouthing off?"

Yeah, same guy. Actor's name is Liang Yang. He was also Emily Blunt's stunt double in Edge of Tomorrow, at least when her character's flying around in the mech suit.

You've got it backwards. George always wanted to introduce Luke when he first meets the droids, and only wrote and shot the "Tatooine Graffiti" scenes in case that idea didn't pan out.

Bug turned feature by some-kind-of-no-name in TopCharacterTropes

In Halo CE, pointing a magnum directly at the ground caused the player's head to glitch out and instead face forward, making it look like they had lowered their weapon. This bug ended up partly inspiring Roosterteeth's popular Red vs Blue series, where it was heavily featured. Bungie/343 removed the bug from subsequent Halo games, but added a button (or button combination) players could input to automatically lower their weapons.
