Line 32:
 
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Star Trek III: The Search For Spock|Star Trek III the Search For Spock]]'': Blowing up the Enterprise with the Klingons on board.
* ''[[Blazing Saddles]]''. The citizens of the town of Rock Ridge create a fake Rock Ridge filled with explosives as a giant trap for Hedy Lamaar's army.
** [[Running Gag|That's]] ''[[Running Gag|Hedley!]]''
Line 38:
* ''[[The Beast of War]]'' (1988). The Soviet tank crew leaves one of their own comrades tied to a rock with a grenade under his head. ("If you want anything, just nod.")
* In ''[[Treasure Planet]]'', the ''entire'' titular planet is booby trapped.
* ''Blown Away'' centers on ana bombmaker hounding a bomb disposal officer by rigging booby trapped bombs. The devices are cruelly ingenious in foreseeing how the bomb squad will work. At several points the camera passes through the scene and into the workings of the bomb in what appears to be a continuous take, striking shots which highlight, almost fetishistically, the workings of the device.
* [[Indiana Jones]] deals with these on any given day.
* A rare heroic example - Marv sets up a few of these for Kevin in [[Sin City]].
