Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Difference between revisions

** And apparently even that wasn't enough: rumor has it that Kroenen will be appearing in ''Hellboy III'', if it gets made.

* [[Sean Bean|Trevelyan]] in ''[[Goldeneye]]'' has a giant satellite dish slam into him [[Death by Looking Up|from above]].

** Bond offs a mook with a spear gun in ''[[Licence to Kill]]''.

* In ''[[Ladyhawke]]'', the evil bishop is impaled quite suddenly, with the blade going ''right through a stone pillar'' behind him while he was attempting to impale the heroine.

* In ''[[Devil May Cry]]'', Dante is introduced to his [[Empathic Weapon]] [[BFS|Alastor]] in this fashion. In ''[[Devil May Cry]] 3'', taking his own sword Rebellion through the chest is how he awakens his [[Super Mode|Devil Trigger]] powers. In ''[[Devil May Cry]] 4'', Nero is the one who gains the Devil Trigger, although it is not his own sword that impales him. Nero also manages to pin Dante to a statue of his father via Rebellion delivered at range with high velocity during their first major fight, but being a [[Made of Iron]] half-demon [[Badass]], this doesn't much faze Dante.

** Really, it's become a [[Running Gag]] in the series. Not only does it happen in every game except the one that [[Fanon Discontinuity|doesn't exist]], Dante always responds the same way: by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_1kETIVweo pulling himself up along the blade of the sword, through the hilt].

* The third case of ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]'' had this happen to the victim. It turned out that {{spoiler|he was actually pushed onto a spiked fence. Plus, he himself killed someone that way five years before then.}}

** Let's not forget in the last case of ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]'' which has {{spoiler|Jake Marshall's brother Neil killed by Damon Gant on his suit of armour's sword.}} Trying to frame {{spoiler|Ema Skye}} was just mean...

* ''[[Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards]]'': How Kirby dispatches people with the Needle power. Needle + Needle takes this [[Up to Eleven]] by turning Kirby into a giant Swiss Army knife.

* [[Valkyrie Profile|Lenneth]]'s [[Finishing Move]]. Three spears stab her enemy and hold it in the air, while she summons an additional stupidly huge fourth spear that ''turns into a fricken dragon'' before she throws it. [[Blaz Blue|Tsubaki]]'s finisher is a [[Shout-Out]] to this.

* Impaling someone with Gungnir is Remillia Scarlet's signature attack in ''[[Touhou]]''. In the fighting games, this attack can be made ''uninterruptible and unblockable''. Well, she does claim descent from a certain Vlad.

* [[Resident Evil 5|Wesker]] impales {{spoiler|Ozwell Spencer}} on his [[Super Strength|arm]], and he can do the same to you. {{spoiler|Post-Uroboros, he can impale you on a massive drill arm.}}
