* In one of the ''[[Lexx]]'' movies, Giggerota ripped off Stan's hand so she could pilot Lexx without him. The former Shadow brains provided the voice.
* In ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'' (Inquisitor), Lister and Kryten get [[Ret -Gone|replaced]] by another Lister and Kryten, who subsequently get killed (and blown up). Lister uses other-Lister's severed hand to open a door, leading to the exchange quoted above.
* In ''[[Dark Angel]]'', a man got both his eye gouged out and his hand cut off (at two different occasions by the same guy) so that the maiming guy could get into two different high security installations after he had gone rogue from the evil corporation he used to work for.
* ''[[Torchwood (TV)|Torchwood]]'', "End of Days" with Capt. Jack. He's not killed ''for'' it but it's revealed after Owen kills him that they need his retinal scan to okay the use of the Rift Manipulator, so they hold his corpse up to the scanner. [[Immortality|Like always]], Jack gets better.
Line 81:
* The ''[[Global Frequency]]'' pilot inverts the usual crisis - while storming a secret prison, Miranda Zero is completely prepared to get past the retinal scanner, but runs into trouble when it turns out to be a ''password-protected'' scanner.
* [[Threat Matrix]] has a related example where Israeli agent attempts to frame a Palestinian agent for a hit by wearing [[Squick|the dead man's fingers]].
* Threatened by the heroes (well, [[Anti-Hero|sort of heroes]]) so they could escape the cells of a prison ship in the second episode of ''[[Blake's Seven (TV)|Blakes Seven]]''.
