A wily character is facing up against a [[Giant Mook]] who is confident he's going to beat their puny opponent. Our hero does a move in which he runs up to the baddie, flips over him, and then flips away. The baddie turns around confused as to why they've left him otherwise unharmed until he looks down and sees the three explosive [[Sticky Bomb]]s left on his chest (and yes, they always see the bombs before they go off). Bombs go off and the baddie either falls unconscious if they were [[Instant Sedation|knockout bombs]] or... well, lets just hope it's a [[Non-Lethal Warfare|PG rated show]] for [[Ludicrous Gibs|the baddie's sake]].

Alternatively, if the [[Guile Hero]] really is completely outclassed in hand to hand, they may exploit the opportunity to plant the bombs and then break away or goad the baddie into throwing them to safety.

 

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* The Third Hokage in ''[[Naruto]]'' does this when fighting Orochimaru to the resurrected First and Second Hokage. In this case it's a ''literal'' grenade tag, because ninja there use exploding piece of paper.

* At one point in the [[X Wing Series]], Wraith Squadron is pinned down dirtside by a Viper probe droid.<ref>For reference, that's the type that showed up in ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]''.</ref> Kell Tainer dives on top of it and bounces off. Then it explodes violently. Turns out he managed to plant a charge.

 

* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' serial ''The Ribos Operation'', the Doctor sticks a bomb to the back of one villains when he embraces him before he heads into the labyrinth.

 

* ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' when Leon gets into CQC with Ada, she drops her sunglasses on the ground at Leon's feet. Then after a few seconds the glasses explode.

* In ''[[Resident Evil (video game)|Resident Evil]]'' remake for the [[Game Cube]], if you're grabbed by a zombie you can use a defensive weapon. These include stun grenades, which can be shoved into the zombie's mouth and shot for an instant decapitation.

* In ''[[Alpha Protocol]]'', {{spoiler|if Mike decides to [[The Starscream|kill Leland]] after agreeing to help him in the finale,}} he'll reveal that the evidence that he handed over to him was actually a mine. [[Oh Crap|The look on Leland's face says it all.]]
