* ''[[28 Days Later (Film)|Twenty Eight Days Later]]'''s Jim uses a crowbar in one scene near the end, where he bashes a soldier's head in.
* Crowbar is one the many things used to pin Freddy against a wall in ''[[Freddys Dead the Final Nightmare]]''.
* Michael in the remake of ''[[Dawn of the Dead 2004 (Film)|Dawn of the Dead 2004]]'' as they enter the mall.
* Surprisingly averted in ''[[Transformers Dark of the Moon (Film)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]'' which had a bit Decepticon named Crowbar who used... guns and explosives. The same sub-faction also had another member named Hatchet who also used guns.
* One of the intro victims in ''[[Cornered (Film)|Cornered]]'' is beaten to death with what looks like a crowbar.

Line 38:
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* The cast of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', though mostly Xander.
* The ''[[Criminal Minds (TV)|Criminal Minds]]'' episode "Hopeless" begins with the three [UnSubs murdering two couples with crowbars.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Probably [[Trope Codifier|the most famous example]] is in ''[[Half-Life (Video Gameseries)|Half-Life]]'': [[Player Character|Gordon Freeman]]'s [[Weapon of Choice|signature weapon]] is a crowbar. This is [[Lampshade Hanging|commented on]] by the G-Man in Episode 2.
** ''[[Bio ShockBioshock]]'' is a [[Wrench Whack]] game, but with a [[Shout-Out]] to ''Half-Life'':
{{quote| "Now, would you kindly find a crowbar or something?"}}
* ''[[The Punisher (Video2005 Gamevideo game)|The Punisher]]''
* ''[[Siren (Videovideo Gamegame)|Siren]]'' and ''[[Siren (Videovideo Gamegame)|Siren]] 2''
* ''[[Deus Ex (Video Game)|Deus Ex]]''
* ''[[Condemned]]''. You can also use it to pry things open.
* One of the usable melee weapons in ''[[Left 4 Dead (Video Game)|Left 4 Dead]] 2''.
* Likewise, one of many melee weapons you can use in ''[[Dead Rising 2]]''.
* In ''[[SpacestationSpace Station 13]]'', a good clout upside the head with a crowbar will knock someone out for longer than you'd expect.
* ''[[Jagged Alliance]] 2'', it is available since the first game, but back then it cannot be used as a weapon. This is just a bonus since its main use is to pry open locked doors and containers.
* The Blue Sun mod for ''7.62mm High Caliber'' adds a crowbar as a melee weapon.
Line 59:
* In ''[[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]]'', one would probably expect the recurring ultimate [[Bonus Boss]], Tyrant Overlord Baal, to [[Equippable Ally|magichange into a sword]], considering how almost all of his attacks involve summoning [[BFS|really huge ones]] to impale his foes. Instead, he magichanges into an ordinary-looking crowbar. A crowbar so powerful, that it can potentially max out the wielder's stats.
** This might be a [[Shout-Out]]
* The original melee weapon for most of the classes in ''[[Team Fortress Classic (Video Game)|Team Fortress Classic]]'' was a crowbar.
* A crowbar is the starting melee weapon for Thieves in ''[[Drakensang]]'' along with knives and daggers. Said crowbar is listed as an "Axe/Club" type weapon and it's not very powerful.
* A crowbar is found in the first areas of both ''[[Sonny]]'' games. The weapon is a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Half Life]]'', which is more blatant in the second game (the weapon has the description "the weapon of '''free men'''").
* Subverted in ''[[Amnesia: theThe Dark Descent]]''. You do find a crowbar at a point, but its only use is to open a busted door.
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* The [[They Call Him "Sword"|aptly-named]] Felt member {{color|#00FF00|Crowbar}} from ''[[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Homestuck]]'' uses a crowbar which, in addition to being a handy weapon, has the ability to destroy [[Time Master|temporal artifacts]] and [[Anti-Magic|negate their effects.]]
* Duncan in ''[[Niels]]'' favors a crowbar over ranged weapons. A chart made by the author describes him as the second-best fighter in the series, but it's been noted that he usually [[Death of a Thousand Cuts|has to hit someone many, many times before they finally die]].
 
== [[Web Original]] ==
* ''[http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=5145 Insane Cafe 3: The Curse of the Haunted Hotel]''. [[The Land Before Time|Strut]] using a crowbar then a shovel to subdue a super powered Human who had tried to pick a fight with the entire hotel.
* ''[[Darwin's Soldiers (Roleplay)|Darwins Soldiers]]'', the second RP. Dr. Rawlson/{{spoiler|Dr. Jeston}} tries to kill Dr. Zanasiu with a crowbar.
* Tom spends a large portion of ''[[Ruby Quest (Roleplay)|Ruby Quest]]'' carrying around a crowbar to smash things with.
