With My Hands Tied: Difference between revisions

* In the first book of the ''[[Sword of Truth]]'' series, several characters are captured, and one in particular, a boundary warden named Chase, has his hands tied behind his back (because he'd ''already'' killed five of the nine attackers on his own). When a suitable distraction happens, he tackles one of the captors and snaps his neck with his legs before being beaten savagely by the captor's leader. He's standing up again within minutes, leading one of the other characters to remark that he's far tougher than he has any right to be.

* Parodied in ''[[Discworld/Men At Arms|Men At Arms]]'':

'''[[All Trolls Are Different|Detritus]]''': You get opportunity! I tie BOTH hands behind your back! }}

* In [[Redwall|Mossflower]], Martin the Warrior, [[Determinator]] that he is, fights off guards who are dragging him into Tsarmina's chamber over the course of three chapters or so.
