Line 118:
* ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined|Battlestar Galactica]]''. Leoben breaks his cuffs and gets the drop on Kara Thrace simply to show he can during his interrogation. Cylon prisoners after this episode are always excessively chained and restraint-collared.
* ''[[The X-Files]]'' ("Revelations"). A religious fanatic escapes from Scully and Mulder by diving out a window, then breaking his handcuffs after he hits the ground.
* ''[[Cops (series)]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQTXawaAKNA "I can break these cuffs!" "You can't break those cuffs."] {{spoiler|He doesn't.}}
* An episode of ''[[Burn Notice]]'' has Michael doing this with handcuffs. They had been [[Xanatos Gambit|specifically rigged to allow this]], though.
** Another episode has Simon breaking through his handcuffs after hinting that he'd been working at them long enough to damage their structural integrity.
Line 158:
* Ryu bites clean through his bonds in ''[[Breath of Fire]] 3''. Probably [[Justified Trope|justified]], since he is a [[Our Dragons Are Different|dragon]]...
* In ''[[Quest for Glory II]]'', a fighter character will eventually be invited to join the Eternal Order of Fighters after an initiation test that involves being completely unarmed and chained to a wall and told to break free in ten seconds. It is entirely possible to fail if the character's strength stat is too low, which will result in the character being bitch-slapped with a big-ass sword and thrown out.
* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]'' Regal has since stopped wearing the [[Handy Cuffs]] he wore in the first game, but ends up in some again for unrelated reasons. [[Self-Restraint|After being properly proven innocent]], the guards can't find the key, so he notes that the makers of these cuffs aren't known for being sturdy, breaks them, and recommends they buy some from his company next time.
* In ''[[Fate/stay night|Fate Stay Night]]'', Berserker, aka Hercules, have broke anti-divine chains (which supposed to bond him entireley) with his iron will. Manly man indeed.
* In ''[[Geneforge]] 4'', the player character is sent into Shaper Monarch's dungeons to rescue Khryk, a [[Old Master|senior Shaper]]. The rescue is entirely unneeded, since Khryk could have broken himself free at any time, but chose to remain in captivity to learn Monarch's weaknesses and pass them on to you.
