Line 31: * Meanwhile at the Hall of Just... ahem, [[The DCU]], Captain Boomerang pulled this stunt against a member of the Jihad in the second issue of the original series of ''[[Suicide Squad]]''. * In both film and comic version, Green Goblin tries something like this against [[Spider-Man]] using his glider and attempting to hold/distract Spidey in place long enough for the glider to hit him. It doesn't work and Goblin gets impaled on his own glider for his trouble. * Subverted in ''JLA Avengers'', where Hawkeye fires a boomerang arrow at Flash, who easily catches it on the return and remarks that he's had a little experience with these things before.<ref>The aforementioned Captain Boomerang is one of Flash's [[Rogues Gallery]]</ref>. == Films -- Live-Action == * In ''[[Jingle All the Way]]'', the main ~~character -- in~~character—in a Turbo Man costume that [[Crazy Prepared\|includes all the weapons]] ~~-- throws~~—throws what is a high-tech boomerang. The villain lets go with one of his hands, while the other hangs on. He grabs the Turbo Man toy out of the boy's backpack and shouts "Victory is mine!", before the boomerang hits his other hand, causing him to fall. He lands on a parade float and is promptly arrested. * Occurs in ''[[Captain America (comics)]] II: Death Too Soon'', a made-for-TV film from 1979 starring Reb Brown as [[Captain America (comics)]], where the Captain foils a mugging attempt by tossing his trademark shield at a perpetrator, missing him at point-blank range, and the thug gives his shield enough time to curve back and knock himself out. * In ''[[The Brothers Grimm (film)\|The Brothers Grimm]]'' movie, there is the magic handaxe seized from the lycanthrope woodsman, that can come back to the thrower. Toward the end, Jakob Grimm uses it to fight the French general's aide-de-camp, and ~~miss -- but~~miss—but the soldier is struck in the back by the axe returning before he could kill the hero. Line 120: * In an episode of ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'', Captain Boomerang sends a swarm of boomerangs flying at [[The Flash]], who catches them and throws them back. They turn around and fly back at him (suggesting that these boomerangs are ''so'' good that it doesn't take any skill to use them, they return whether you want them to or not). Upon seeing them going back towards him, Flash's response is a "DUH!" * ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' shows us that the hero of ''[[Krull]]'' has had this problem with the Glaive. * ''[[Futurama]]'': In ''Bender's Game'', during the parody of ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)\|The Lord of the Rings]]'', Pr. Fansworth (as the stereotypical fantasy wizard) turns his staff into a giant boomerang, but it hits him in the back when ~~thrown -- or~~thrown—or even when slightly going past the screen border. {{reflist}}
