Agony of the Feet: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[The Spy Who Loved Me]]'', Jaws drops a boulder on his foot. His grimace is priceless.

* ''[[Mindhunters]]'': One of the female FBI agents smokes a cigarette, not knowing it has been laced with [[Hollywood Acid|acid]], several drops of which eat through her boot. She briefly stomps her foot in pain [[Oh Crap|before realizing she has other problems]].

* Happens in all seven ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' books to all three main characters.

** Three examples for each character: in the sixth book, Harry kicks a wall out of frustration and hops; in book three, Ron steps on Hermione's foot; and in book seven, Ron accidentally nudges a piece of white-hot cursed metal with his foot (long story). Justified to an extent—their robes makes it rather easy to stomp someone's foot without it being noticed, so it's the main way they [[Be Quiet Nudge|get each other to shut up]]. In ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix|Order of the Phoenix]]'', when Ron starts to make a blunder while they're out in public, Harry actually mentally laments that they're in Muggle clothes and thus it would be too noticeable to stomp on his foot.

* Michael tries to break a thick wooden rod he's been chained to in the ''[[Knight and Rogue Series]]'' by kicking it over and over. While this works in the long run, during one particular moment of panic he slams his foot into it so hard that he thinks he's broken his own bones for a minute.

* In the ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass]]'' story "Blitzwing Bop", a shopkeeper gets annoyed at Soundwave for accidentally chasing off his star attraction, and kicks him in the ankle in anger. Seeing as how, well, Soundwave is a giant solid metal robot and all, it hurts the shopkeeper's foot a lot more than it hurts Soundwave. (Though Soundwave does consider it "Most bogus!")

* In ''[[Grail Quest]] 4: Voyage of Terror'', when Pip is given the option to pick a lock or kicking the door open, kicking is a bad choice:
