Line 8:
To avoid the whole [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]] debate, purely practical examples (such as being chased by a [[Medusa]]) are not excluded from this trope. This extends to video games that use it as a particularly brutal way of enforcing [[Ratchet Scrolling]]: Turning back kills you instantly.
A key part of the [[Orphean Rescue]]. Can lead to [[Curiosity Killed the Cast]]. Has nothing to do with [[Don't Look Down]]: "Back" is where you are coming from, not merely a direction opposite to where your head is facing. Also unrelated to [[Unflinching Walk]], where you Don't Look Back at the ''explosion'' happening behind you simply because [[Rule of Cool|it looks cooler]]. Contrast with [[Look Behind You!]].
