There are companies like Silbersalz (https://silbersalz35.com/ https://silbersalz35.com/) selling ECN-2 cinefilm stock in 35mm cartridges. You have to return the film to them for processing, rather than take it to a C-41 lab - and they warn that if you send them to a C-41 lab, you can damage the lab's equipment and ruin everyone else's photos as well as your own.
I don't know how paranoid the warning is, but that seems like it could be pretty bad.

To be fair, anyone buying that likely knows what they're getting into. Tri-X was sold next to C-41 film in every store, so a lot of people would just grab it when they wanted B&W thinking it was the same thing to develop as color film. (Yes, there is B&W C-41 film as well)

I have some Silbersalz film myself that I haven't used yet, and I'm actively imagining everything that could go wrong. > Yes, there is B&W C-41 film as well Ilford XP2 - it looks a bit different from typical B&W film, with very flat whites. I used to love XP1, which came out sepia when processed C-41.
