Line 35:
* In ''[[28 Weeks Later|Twenty Eight Weeks Later]]'', a safe room turns out to have a back door.
* In one of the [[Hilarious Outtakes]] of ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]'', while preparing for battle in Moria, the Fellowship goes and braces the door to Balin's Tomb with axes, polearms, and whatever's around. [[Orlando Bloom]]/Legolas makes a big show of sticking one staff up against the door. [[Ian McKellen]]/Gandalf then walks up to the door in apparent disbelief at Legolas's "contribution", nudges the staff—easily knocking it over—and scoffs, calling it "typical elf work."
* In ''[[UHF (film)|UHF]]'', Stanley Spadowski (Michael Richards) is being chased around the offices of Channel 8 News by the top exec's murderous thugs. He shuts himself into the top exec's office and barricades the one door with everything he can find, until the door is completely covered. He then collapses in exhaustion, but is proud of his quick thinking. They'll never get him now. ''The thugs then come through the conveniently large window.''
* In ''[[The Last Lovecraft]]'' our "heroes" are trapped in a small RV, when one of the monsters from the deep smashes through the window all they can do is close a flimsy fold out wooden screen to slow it down.
* In ''[[Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein]]'', the duo attempts to keep the rampaging monster out of their refuge by pushing a heavy bed up against the door. Unfortunately, the door [[Crowning Moment of Funny|opens the other way...]]
Line 42:
* ''[[Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back]]'': during the chase around the Miramax lot, the titular pair place a small trash can in front of one of the doors before fleeing. Although to be fair, one of the security guards ''does'' smack his shin into it and limps around for a moment.
* In Howard Hawks' ''[[The Thing from Another World]]'', they barricade a door against the monster, but the door opens the other way.
