Electric Torture: Difference between revisions

It's almost guaranteed that a variation on this conversation will take place:

 

'''[[Torture Technician]]''': [[Even Evil Has Standards|But that could kill him]]!<br />

'''Big Bad''': [[Kick the Dog|DO IT]]! }}

* ''[[Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance]]'': Yeong-mi, the main character's girlfriend, has electrodes clamped on her earlobes and gets electroshocked to death.

* Used on the hero in ''[[The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension]]'':

* Used on [[James Bond]] in the book ''[[The Spy Who Loved Me]]'', [[Groin Attack|on his favorite bodily organ.]]

* In the film ''Braddock: Missing in Action III'', a sadistic Viet Cong does this to Col. James Braddock (Chuck Norris) while Braddock's son watches. But, this being [[Chuck Norris]]...

** [[Blondes Are Evil|Julien]] [[Evil Brit|Sark]] had his way with Vaughn in season 3 as they volleyed insults back and forth.

* ''[[Farscape]]'s'' Aurora Chair, which [[Big Bad|Scorpius]] uses to view memories of his victims while simultaneously putting them in agonizing pain. The [[All There in the Manual|Sci-Fi channel website summary]] of it describes it as a "mental search engine", explaining the pain as, due to the way that memories are organized, requiring the activation of "every last neural pathway, one by one" - ''ouch''. This also leads to an ''awesome'' subversion of [[Save the Villain]] and a [[Bond One-Liner]] from Aeryn Sun, after strapping Crais into the chair:

'''Aeryn''': "I will make you watch your life." }}

** Fortunately, despite the pain, giving Crais a chance to review his life, where he came from, the decisions he made, and their consequences started his [[Heel Face Turn]].

* Elle Bishop of ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' - does this to pretty much everyone she meets, even those she likes, particularly Sandra Bennett and then Sylar - though, he literally asked for it.

** Noah turns the tides on her in season 2, when he straps her into a chair in a small pool of water and drenches her, so that anytime she tries to shock him, she ends up zapping herself instead.

* Electroshock collars were used in one of the universes jumped to in ''[[Sliders]]'' to prevent people from lying.

* The behavior-modification chips implanted in Spike (and presumably other demons) by the Initiative in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''.

* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'': Valerie uses a nasty looking taser weapon on Danny after she finally captures him. Meanwhile, Vlad has Danielle [[Strapped to An Operating Table]]...

* In the episode "Deep Cover for Batman" from ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'', Red Hood, the good counterpart to the Joker, is strapped to a chair and shocked to try to reveal his plan. His response?

* Duncan from ''[[Little Elvis Jones and The Truckstoppers]]'' has a shock watch, which inflicts a brief version of this on him in order for his boss to let off some steam. Yes, his boss is a colossal dick, how did you guess?

* In ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]'', Emperor Zurg tries to do this to [[Robot Buddy|XR]]. It doesn't work out to well, seeing as how XR regards the voltage flowing through him as the eqivalant of a pleasant massage.
