Bear Trap: Difference between revisions

 

See also [[Bear Trap Bed]].

== [[Film]] ==

* ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]'': when one of the [[Wicked Weasel|weasels]] reaches into Jessica's [[Victoria's Secret Compartment|bosom]] to search for Marvin Acme's will, a Bear Trap hidden in it snaps shut on his hand.

* The "reverse bear trap" in ''[[Saw]]'' 1 and 6 is thematically similar, except that when it goes off it snaps violently ''open'', and as it is hooked into the victim's upper and lower jaws... In ''Saw 3-D'' the audience finally sees the intended result, and it's ''brutal''.

* Bear traps are frequent props in ''[[The Three Stooges]]'' shorts, notably in "The Brideless Groom," where Moe and Larry try to use one to break up an all-female brawl. Naturally they're caught in their own trap.

* ''[[Severance]]'': Andy gets caught in one of these and loses his foot when his co-workers try to free him.

* A character gets thrown head first into a bear trap in ''[[Pumpkinhead]]: Blood Feud''.

* Used in ''[[Ladyhawke]]'' by the wolf trapper. He ends up [[Hoist By His Own Petard]] in the end.

== [[Video Games]] ==

* ''[[Fallout 3]]'' and ''[[Fallout New Vegas]]'' have these as trap hazards, just to make creeping through dark, [[Our Zombies Are Different|Ghoul-infested]] subway tunnels all the more memorable. They're great at crippling your legs, reducing your speed to a painful hobble, which is especially brutal on ''New Vegas''' Hardcore Mode since limbs are much harder to heal. And in the ''New Vegas'' expansion ''Dead Money'' you get to see what happens when the mooks decide to wear a bear trap on their knuckles: the [[Power Fist|Bear Trap Fist]].

** There are also a number of bear-traps set in various areas waiting for you to step in them. Doing so causes you damage and also freezes you in place as Leon has to stop and pry it open. Naturally, they don't hurt enemies running towards you, and they can be avoided by shooting them, which caused them to spring early.

* A lot of these in ''[[Dragon Age]]''. However, all the characters are apparently tough enough to be merely pinned to the spot for a few seconds by them.

** Much the same for ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]''. Also, trap kits all use the "bear trap" model.

* ''[[Alan Wake]]'' has lots of bear-traps scattered across the woods, apparently due to poachers. Walking into one will cost you a bit of health, and pin you to the ground for a while. Worse, EVERY TIME you walk into one, it will cause a Taken to spawn nearby and run up to attack you while you're helpless. Oh, and in one part with bear traps, you don't have any guns to fight the Taken that spawns if you step on a trap.

* ''[[Limbo]]''

* ''[[Quest for Glory I]]'' has you find a [[Talking Animal|talking Fox]] in one of these.
