* Ken in [[Ga
{{quote| '''Ken:''' ''(Pictures a worried princess)'' Am I the maiden in distress?}}
* What is [[Bleach|Aizen's]] first thing to do when he kidnaps Orihime? ''Show her his ultimate weapon while also making sure they're the only two in the room!'' It doesn't take long for Orihime to decide that she will destroy it, but being held up in an unidentified part of the lair might get in the way.
Line 22:
* Double-subverted in the ''ABC Warriors'' comic book's 'Hell-Raiser' arc- The [[Big Bad]] brings the captured heroes to his spaceship's bridge, lampshades the trope (his [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]] speech at that point might make a good page quote, once I find it) and then immediately springs his prepared [[Death Trap]] on them, having assumed in advance that they'd make it up there sooner or later anyway. Doubly subverted in that the heroes manage to escape, and naturally, they eventually get back to the bridge and crash the ship.
* It happens to Spidey '''a lot''' in [[Ultimate Spider

Line 37:
** Jacen in the [[New Jedi Order]].
** In [[Legacy of the Force]], Ben is abducted, taken aboard the ''[[Dead Guy, Junior|Anakin Solo]]'', stripped to shorts, tortured, and [[Go Seduce My Arch-Nemesis|seduced]] [[Shotacon|by]] [[Even Evil Has Standards|Tahiri]]. It's particularly [[Squick|squicky]] when she's got her hand in his shorts, igniting his lightsaber, and calls him a "big strong Jedi".
* [[James Bond (

* In ''[[Star Trek: First Contact]]'', the Borg Queen has Data brought to the heart of the ''Enterprise''. Of course, she has a little more than ''interrogation'' in mind if you know what I mean, but it all [[Fake Defector|works out pretty well for the crew as a result]].
* Part of Captain America's plan to infiltrate Hydra's HQ in the [[Captain America:

* Happens more than once in ''[[
* This trope is mentioned several times throughout the ''[[Harry Potter (
* In a reversal of roles, Jesus Christ in ''[[Left Behind]]'' has Michael the archangel bring the captured Antichrist and the False Prophet before him to [[Kneel Before Zod|kneel before Him and confess that He is Lord]].
* Justified in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''. While Saurman ''could'' have just told the Uruk-Hai to kill the hobbits or worse, doing so would most likely lead to the discovery of the Ring Of Power, thus having them fight among themselves on who gets to keep it instead of bringing it to Isengard.

** Keep in mind that between you and the Core is a large boulder blocking your path that, without {{spoiler|Balrog's}} help, would be impassable.
* ''[[Fallout]] 3'' - The PC is taken to Raven Rock, the Enclave's Capitol Wasteland HQ. Although at first President Eden allows you to come up to talk, Colonel Autumn overrules his orders and wants you shot on sight. But don't worry, all your weapons and items happen to be safe and secure in an unlocked locker in your prisoner cell.
Line 70:
*** {{spoiler|To be fair, Eden let you out of the cell and gave you back all your stuff, because Autumn was already disobeying his orders, by refusing to use the FEV. }} It's perfectly acceptable to keep their stuff in a locked box in the cell, if the prisoner is kept in an impenetrable forcefield away from the box, that even deathclaws can't break out of.
* Mostly averted in ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]''. Our heroes were captured during the assassination attempt on Edea. Instead of doing all that bring him to me crap, Edea has them carted off to a very obscure in the middle of nowhere prison that is a long way away from anything alive. And THEN you get interrogated.
* Always averted in ''[[
* Averted in [[Dragon Age]], if you get captured by Cauthrien after rescuing Anora you end up in Fort Drakon, which is an actual prison rather than the heart of the villain's power.
Line 81:
* Happens so often in ''[[Kim Possible]]'' that it might be an unspoken villain tradition.
** It probably is: everyone seems very keen to stick to such tradition, and somewhat put out when they're ignored.
* The Queen of the Crowns in ''[[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers
* Lampshaded in the first episode of ''Clerks'' when Leonardo Leonardo learns that people are still shopping at the Quickstop minimarket instead of his Quickerstop megamall.
{{quote| '''Leonardo''': Bring this Quickstop to me.<br />
