Down to the Last Match: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

When fictional characters desperately need to light something with a match, they will likely find only three or so remaining in the matchbook or box. All but the last will be duds or blow out, and the last will probably do its share of flickering but stay lit.

 

Not to be confused with [[Down to the Last Play]], which is still a similar trope. See also [[Going by the Matchbook]], [[Tentative Light]], [[One Bullet Left]].
