The Cat Came Back: Difference between revisions

* In the [[Tintin]] comics, Captain Haddock can never escape opera singer Bianca Castafiore. If she doesn't show up in person to plague his life, a Tibetan porter or a Middle Eastern trader will be listening to her singing the Jewel Song on the radio at ear-splitting volume. Cue cursing from Haddock.

* The squid in ''[[De Cape et de Crocs]]''.

** {{spoiler|Of course, this is subverted in the third movie, when they end up saving all of Andy's toys from the incinerator, and Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head repeat this line to them.}}

* No teleportation, but in ''What About Bob?'' Richard Dreyfuss' character cannot escape Bill Murray's character.

* Played for laughs masquerading as horror with the doll in ''Doom House''.

* The film ''Malicious'' is an example of the "horror" variation of this trope. Bonus points for featuring [[Fan Service|Molly Ringwald naked in it]].

* Young Buddy does this for a little while to Mr. Incredible at the start of ''The Incredibles.'' A desperate attempt to be named sidekick and an interesting likeness to this trope. {{spoiler|He also sort of does it in appearing to him later as the older, improved supervillian.}}

* Played for horror in ''[[The Grudge]]''; in fact, most of the terror comes when you realize that the curse is inescapable. The final line of the film captures this quite nicely: {{spoiler|"We managed to save the house!"}}
