** Likewise in the French science fiction film ''Dante''.

* At the end of ''[[Shaolin Soccer]]'', {{spoiler|Mui}} shaves her head bald in order to join the team as [[The Hopeless Replacement]]; Sing [[Hangs a Lampshade]] on the fact that her actress is wearing a rather obvious bald cap:

* Most people of both sexes in the [[Recursive Reality|in-story real world]] of ''[[The Matrix]]'' are either bald or very close-shaven. Sort of justified because it would appear that the machines' [[People Jars]] prevent hair growth for those inside, but most of the characters would presumably have been out for long enough to grow some more hair, so that's probably not why ''everyone's'' hair is like that.

** This can be explained away as function over fashion. They're in a situation where everyone who can hold a gun and shoot semi-competently is a soldier fighting for survival. Long hair tends to be a hindrance in such an environment. It's also quite likely that Zion has to ration water quite carefuly, and shorter hair is much less of a hassle to keep clean.

* In Classical poety, the anthropomorphic personification of a limited opportunity, especially of concepts such as Fortune and Time, is as a bald woman with only a single lock of hair on her forehead. The moral being that if you do not seize her as she approaches, there is nothing to grab her by once she's passed.
