Can't Bathe Without a Weapon: Difference between revisions

* [[Blackhawk]] did this during his run in ''Action Comics Weekly''; riffing on the "never bring a knife to a gunfight" line from ''[[The Untouchables]]''.

* [[Deconstructed Trope|Deconstructed]] in an ''[[Achille Talon]]'' album, ''La Main du Serpent'': Vincent Poursan jumps out of his bath with a blunderbuss, spurring the comments:

'''Lefuneste:''' Yeah, that's kinda dirty. }}

* [[Jonah Hex]] is often shown bathing with trusty bowie knife concealed in the tub.

* In ''Ghost Rock'', Jenya Lano does this in her bathtub with two pistols. She then gets out and walks all over the saloon naked, shooting all the intruders.

* Averted at the end of the ''[[Maverick (film)|Maverick]]'' movie. ''Twice''.

** However, both those times were deliberate: {{spoiler|the first was a setup to reveal that Cooper is actually Maverick's dad and the second time because Maverick ''wanted'' the money to be stolen by Annabelle because "[[Victory Is Boring|it's going to be a whole lot of fun getting it back!"]]}}

* ''[[The Good, the Bad and the Ugly|The Good the Bad And The Ugly]]'': A vengeful man, whom Tuco had previously shot in the hand and permanently disabled, catches the "Ugly" naked in a bathtub. He delivers a long speech about how he tracked Tuco down, and how he had lots of time to learn to shoot with his left hand... which is [[Talk to the Fist|cut off when Tuco shoots him]] with a gun hidden under the bathtub bubbles.

* When Mathayus (The Rock), hero of ''[[The Scorpion King]]'', crashes through the ceiling of the Sorceress' bathroom, she instantly grabs a convenient dagger and assumes a defensive stance that has Mathayus' jaw hanging.

* ''[[Firefox]]'' offers a shower example: while bathing for the title plane's maiden flight, the protagonist talks to a mission command officer, without leaving his revolver. (Justified for two reasons: he's an American sent there to hijack the Firefox... and he's [[Clint Eastwood]].)

* Subverted in ''[[Eastern Promises]]'' in the Turkish Baths, {{spoiler|where Viggo Mortensen's character being unarmed, and nude, was the entire point, making him completely vulnerable to attack by two knife-wielding hitmen out for revenge. Of course, being a complete ''[[badass]]'', Viggo manages to defeat them both ''unarmed'' and in [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|an extremely violent fashion.]]}}

* ''[[James Bond (film)|James Bond]]''

** In ''[[The Man with the Golden Gun]]'', Andrea Anders pulls a gun on James Bond when he walks in on her showering.

** Bond himself pulls a similar trick in ''[[Goldeneye]]'', when Xenia attacks him while while he's having a leisurely swim at his hotel. He retrieves his gun from alongside his towel once out of the pool, and sets it down when Xenia begins to kiss him. Conveniently, it disappears when Onatopp starts crushing him to death, presumably as not to ruin the tension and provide a too-easy ending to the fight.
