* There is a (possibly staged) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQxcV4lu-a4 YouTube video] of a little old lady in a crosswalk responding to the impatient honking of a motorist by whacking his front bumper with her handbag hard enough to set off his airbags.

 

* [[Margaret Thatcher]] was often depicted wielding a killer handbag, especially on ''[[Spitting Image]]''.

* A handbag is the first weapon you can give to Eileen in the [[Escort Mission]] section of ''[[Silent Hill 4]]''. (Protip: Don't do it!
