Line 14:
* ''[[Flashdance]]''
* ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]]'' has Tony Stark welding while working on his car, and on the armour. ''Iron Man 2'' has Whiplash welding in a scene.
** At least it's not the ''only'' thing Tony does -- hisdoes—his various construction montages involved plenty of things melting, [[Rapid-Fire Typing]], a holographic version of CAD, and, once, him hammering a faceplate into shape with a sledgehammer.
* Makaela in ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]] 2'' was welding while helping out in her father's workshop. Turns out to be [[Chekhov's Gun]]; she later tortures a Decepticon with the blowtorch.
* In ''[[Blade]]'', Whistler is welding in his first appearance. Similarly in ''[[Blade]] 2'', Scud is shown welding in his workshop - on both instances, they're making weapons and equipment for Blade.
Line 25:
* ''[[The A-Team]]'' would have at least one scene every week of the Team hard at work building something out of scrap metal. Frequently, Mr T's character, B.A. Baracus, would be the one welding it all together.
* As part of the [[Used Future]] on ''[[Babylon 5]]'', during the [[Title Sequence]] we see a worker welding, fixing something on the outside of the station.
* Often seen in the [[Hard Work Montage]] in ''[[Mission: Impossible (TV series)||Mission Impossible]]'', with Barney usually being the one doing the welding.
* ''[[Top Gear]]'' tends to have sequences where the presenters are modifying a car and there's typically at least one shot of one of them welding.
* ''[[Firefly]]'': Kaylee is seen welding while she and Wash are building the ambulance for the heist in "Ariel".
Line 33:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'': The engineer update video.
* In ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'', if you watch the SCVs closely you'll see that whether they are constructing or repairing, vehicles or buildings, all they ever do is weld. In fact, [[All There in the Manual|according to the manual]], that's all they ''can'' do, since their only tool (or at least, the one that hurts the most when used as a weapon) is a "fusion cutter."
* In ''[[Theme Park (video game)|Theme Park]]'', engineers repair rides seemingly by walking around them and welding in random spots.
