So the villain is feeling quite secure in their dungeon/castle/tower/fun house/generic headquarters. The path to their location is filled with [[The Maze|a maze of twisty little passages, all alike]], each filled with [[Death Trap|death traps]] and [[Elite Mooks]] that would quickly kill the protagonists, or at least inconvenience them by a lot and let the villain escape if they need to.
Line 59 ⟶ 60:
* When [[WALL-E]] wants to power up, he rolls outside and opens his solar panels. When EVE is in a hurry and wants to power WALL-E up, she blows a hole in the ceiling with her plasma cannon. Note that the door was open and not five feet away.
** It's also worth noting that "blow something up with my plasma cannon" is EVE's [[When All You Have Is a Hammer|default problem-solving technique]].
* At the end of ''WIZARDS[[Wizards]]'', the two titular mages face off for a final battle. After centuries of fighting we're expecting a long, drawn-out climactic fight. Instead, the good guy mage says "Let me show you a little trick mother taught me when you weren't around. Oh, and I'm glad you changed your last name you *&$^%@!" At which point he pulls out an antique handgun and shoots the bad guy. Real short fight.
* Lampshaded in ''[[The Emperor's New Groove]]'', where Pacha and Kuzko have to cross a jungle and a castle and the secret passages to reach the Secret Lab, to find Yzma and Kronk already there despite earlier falling down a canyon in the rainforest.
