Epic Hail: Difference between revisions

** In ''Small Favor'', Harry brings a couple guns to his showdown with Nicodemus. These particular guns are incendiary rounds, which shoot a very large fireball, which is capable of melting metal. This is [[Awesome but Practical|dual purpose]]; the first use is to surprise Nicodemus and the Nickelheads, and get them to back off for a few minutes. The second is to signal Miss Gard to bring in the helicopter (mounted with a machine gun) [[Big Entrance|while blaring ''Ride of the Valkyries''.]]

* Partial example of [[Horton Hears a Who]]: The Whoville residents set up an Epic Hail of "We Are Here!" in order to save themselves from complete annihilation.

* In ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'', Prince Caspian using Queen Susan's horn to call the Pevensies to Narnia to help him in his battle for Narnia's freedom, could be considered one of these.

* ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'': Violet Baudelaire does this {{spoiler|[[Noodle Implements|with a bucket, a hairnet, a piece of canvas, a lens and an oar]] in The Wide Window.}}

* ''[[Modern Warfare 2]]'' imitates the scene from ''The Rock'' above {{spoiler|when you stand atop the ruins of the White House to call off a massive airstrike on Washington.}}

* In Riven, the sequel to ''[[Myst]]'', you signal Atrus by {{spoiler|opening a fissure into outer space}}.
