Line 17:
* The 1986 movie Band of the Hand ends with the heroes pulling up to a police barricade in a camouflaged jeep filled with guns. The heroes proceed to bluff their way past the roadblock.
* Another bluff past a roadblock occurs in A Perfect World, in which a convict and his young hostage/companion ride with a friendly family past a roadblock. Once out of sight, the family is left on the roadside, and the convict and boy take the car.
* The Mother series loves to play with this. ''[[EarthboundEarthBound]]'' uses road blocks in the prologue to [[Broken Bridge|keep Ness from going downtown, and later from going into Twoson]], under pretense that [[Police Are Useless|the police]] are going for [[Guinness Episode|the world record for how many roads they can close at once]]. Played with even more in ''[[Mother 3]]'', where Road Blocks appear as as immobile enemies who, in true Mother fashion, [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|possess red eyes]], [[Blasting Time|hands, telekinetic powers]] and the ability to call clunky robots into the fight. Averted, however, in that they don't actually block anything, since you can just run over them while in a vehicle, and at later levels, by charging into them.
* A minor occurance in the first ''[[Sin City]]'' story (also depicted in the movie). The cops are chasing Marv on foot through the hotel. He drops out of the window and tries to go down the alley, only to see a cop car heading him off, blocking his way. He ends up jumping through the windshield to beat up the drivers and subsequently, take the car.
