Clothing Damage/Film: Difference between revisions

I'm linking to the 1991 version because Cady is not set on fire in the 1962 one.

Line 6:
** Basil's clothes are also heavily damaged after Ratigan's vicious beatdown on him.
* ''[[The Animatrix]]'' short "Final Flight of the Osiris" opens with a blindfolded swordfight with nothing but Clothing Damage, until both man and woman are almost naked. Mind you, it ''was'' intended as foreplay.
* ''[[Anastasia (Animation)|Anastasia]]'': In the final battle, Rasputin gets his minions to rip and tear Anya's ball gown.
* Disney's ''[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Cinderella]]'' has the scene where the evil stepsisters tear Cinderella's ball gown to shreds in anger.
** In ''A Twist in Time'', Cinderella in a white gown gets transported inside a pumpkin carriage by Lady Tremaine. Once Cinderella is inside the pumpkin, her dress somehow gets all torn up, and she's now barefoot.
Line 21:
* This happened several times in the Stephen Chow movie ''[[Shaolin Soccer]]'', generally to comedic effect (or unfunny effect, depending on how one felt about the movie).
* Used in ''[[The Mask of Zorro]]'', where Zorro fights Elena and manages to, essentially, cut her nightshirt off, though she still had pants (and [[Godiva Hair]]). In fairness, she attacked his clothes first.
* ''[[Fantastic Four (2005 film)|Fantastic Four (2005)]]'':
** Susan Storm ([[Jessica Alba]]) suffers the extreme form of this in ''Rise of the Silver Surfer''. When she accidentally swaps powers with the Human Torch, she immediately lights up in flame, burning off her non-fireproof clothes, leaving her in the buff on a crowded street. Note that when the same thing happens to Ben Grimm, he doesn't suffer from the same problem, only burning minor holes in his shirt rather than being covered in flame. She even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] it by quipping "Why does this always happen to me?"
** Also happens to Johnny in ''Surfer''. When Sue and Reed's wedding is beset by the Surfer's arrival, Reed tells Johnny to follow him, much to Johnny's chagrin since he didn't want to incinerate his tux. He was wearing his uniform beneath the tux, though.
Line 45:
* In ''[[Kung Pow! Enter the Fist]]'' near the beginning Chosen One attacks a henchman, ripping his outfit until his torn clothing takes the appearance of a bikini.
* In ''[[Dead Air (2009 film)||Dead Air]]'' a female victim of the [[Technically Living Zombie]] infected gets her shirt torn during the attack, exposing a breast. This can go into [[Fan Disservice]] for some as she soon rises as a zombie herself, snarling and bleeding from her eyes and mouth.
* In ''[[Cape Fear (1991 film)|Cape Fear (1991)]]'' Max Cady's shirt is damaged when Danielle sets him on fire.
* In ''[[Home Alone|Home Alone 2]]'', Harry's coat collar is charred after he soaks his burning head in a toilet filled with kerosene, blowing the house up.
* Most of ''[[The Return of Captain Invincible]]'' features the title character struggling to control his magnetic powers, causing metallic buttons and zippers to randomly tear loose of the items they are supposed to hold closed.
