Excuse Me, Coming Through: Difference between revisions

'''Fezzik''': EVERYBODY ''MOVE''!

(''Everybody clears a path'')

 

This is where a fight or [[Chase Scene]] breaks out in a public area where there are a lot of witnesses. The camera will invariably cut to a scene showing people jumping back out of the way, if it's a chase scene, or just scattering in panic if it's a fight scene. This is done to highlight the awesomeness of the parties involved. If they don't move, expect to see a [[Mobstacle Course]].

 

Can also be a [[Stock Phrase]], in which case, if the speaker is in the military, he will likely shout ''"Make a hole!"''<ref>particularly older servicepeople, as nowadays the phrase is considered offensive with the increasing integration of women into the armed services</ref>

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* While on the run from a pursuing [[Spider-Man]], Ricochet of the ''Slingers'' invokes the this trope with a memorable "One side people! Pregnant lady on fire coming through!"

 

* Done in ''[[Advent Children]]'' {{spoiler|after Cloud smites the dragon}} and he's chasing Kadaj on a motorcycle through Midgar. A scene is shown shortly afterwards with people dashing out of the street to get out of the way.

* Done in ''[[The Incredible Hulk (film)|The Incredible Hulk]]'' sort of, the crowd seems to be infected with a case of stupid and end up running parallel to the Hulk and his mutated nemesis as opposed to away from them.

* ''[[The Dark Knight]]'': Batman drives through a pair of glass doors on the Batpod and proceeds to drive down a narrow (for vehicles) hallway beyond, causing the people in it to jump/run out of the way.

* The "Some days you just can't [[Bomb Disposal|get rid of a bomb]]" sequence in the 1966 ''[[Batman]]'' movie, as seen on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4v1hAnfy1I here, particularly between 1:20 and 1:30]. Justified as Batman is carrying a large sputtering bomb.

* ''[[The Blues Brothers]]''. Most notably in the mall chase, shown with hood cameras.

* In the 1987 film ''Gardens of Stone'', [[James Earl Jones]] plays a [[Sergeant Rock|lifer Army sergeant]] who when moving through a crowd is fond of saying, in that inimitable James Earl Jones way, "'''''Make a hole and make it wide!'''''"

* In a Non-chase example, one episode of ''[[ER]]'' has a compressed air bottle fall off a table, pressing the nozzling making the bottle shoot down the hallway. A view from the bottle shows people diving and jumping out of the bottle's way before it hits something, flies through the air, and is embedded in a janitor closet door.

* Inevitable in any ''[[NCIS]]'' episode aboard a ship or submarine. "Make a hole!"

* ''[[iCarly]]'' whenever people get in Sam's way.
