Line 1:
{{trope}}
In any given movie or TV show, anytime there is a scene set in a parking garage, something bad is about to happen or has happened. Indeed,
The reasons for this are many. A parking garage is an inherently boring place. There is ''nothing'' to do there but park one's car or drive it out of the garage. Since in a time-sensitive movie or TV show this is padding, no scene taking place in a parking garage will consist of a single character getting into a single car and driving away.
Line 34:
* An episode of ''[[Seinfeld]]'' takes place in a mall parking garage.
* The Grave Digger, one of the scariest antagonists on ''[[Bones]]'', kidnapped Bones and Hodgins from a parking garage.
* ''[[Starsky and Hutch (TV series)|Starsky and Hutch]]'': The bad guys in the final story arc make ''three separate attempts'' to kill our heroes in various parking garages.
* In the pilot of ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]'', SD-6 has decided that the risk of Sydney Bristow and all she knows leaving the organization are too great and send assassins after her. They come after her in a parking garage. This is only the first of many such scenes in ''Alias''.
* {{spoiler|Doctor Melfi}} is sexually assaulted in a parking garage on ''[[The Sopranos]]'' in the episode "Employee of the Month".
Line 47:
** In "Waka-Gashira Wipeout" in ''[[Grand Theft Auto III]]'', the player kills one of the two heads of Yakuza during a Yakuza-Colombian Cartel meeting on top of a parking garage while driving a Cartel gang car, in order to frame the Cartel for the murder of a prominent Yakuza member.
** In "Guardian Angels" in ''[[Grand Theft Auto Vice City]]'', Colonel Cortez stashes a gun for use in the mission in a parking garage, where the player is also joined by Lance Vance.
** In ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'':
*** "Ran Fa Li" has the player tasked in retrieving a car in San Fierro International's massive underground carpark for the Triads, which leads to the player being ambushed by gang members from the rival Da Nang Boys.
*** Players in ''San Andreas'' may also stumble across a scene reminiscent of the Rodney King beating in the parking garage of the Los Santos headquarters.
