Hall of Mirrors: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

Though it often is so, the [[Hall of Mirrors]] need not be in an actual funhouse, or even in a carnival setting. It can also be used outside a chase scenario, perhaps in its natural setting or even for a generic kaleidoscope effect.

 

 

Most of the trouble characters encounter in a [[Hall of Mirrors]] results from the mirrors not behaving the way real mirrors do. This is justifiable with mirrors that are magic or otherwise likely to behave oddly anyway, but it also happens with mirrors that are supposedly ordinary.

* ''[[Star Trek Voyager]]'' had an episode where the ship was in a reflective cave with a hostile vessel. Their solution was to fire a lower powered phaser which bounced around until it hit the non-reflective enemy ship.

* [[Monster Clown|Odd Bob the Clown]] does this in [[The Sarah Jane Adventures]] episode ''Day of the Clown'' in order to freak Sarah Jane out even more than she already is. It doesn't work. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|She uses her sonic lipstick to destroy one of the mirrors]], revealing the way out of the hall.

* The ''[[Time Trax]]'' episode "Almost Human" has Captain Lambert battling his clone in a mirror house.

* When [[MacGyver]] is chased by a brainwashed friend, he uses this to trick the friend into running out of ammo so he can approach and subdue him.
