Did you just chop apart the evil zombie or robot you were fighting? Keep an eye on all the parts, because it's only a matter of time before that severed hand starts to spider-crawl after you, or scuttle off for some nefarious purpose.
 
The body parts in question show an awful lot of self motivation and sensory ability for something that doesn't even have muscles on a human. In the case of spirit-animated necromantic flesh, all bets are off, but it's past believability that all robots are built with [[Easily -Detachable Robot Parts|a wireless command link and independent power supply for all their limbs]] "just in case".
 
See [[Evil Hand]] for when this happens ''before'' it gets lopped off.
Line 27:
** I think he used the guy's head not for sight but simply so that nobody would freak out when they saw a guy with no head running around. Also, it's not that easy to immobilize a Terminator.
* Tenaya 7 in ''[[Power Rangers RPM]]'' often detaches her hand to have it get into places she can't.
* The detached Cyberman arm and octopus-head-thing in the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode "The Pandorica Opens". They even shoot out tranquilliser darts!

Line 86:
* ''[[Good Eats]]'' lampshades Thing from [[The Addams Family (TV)|The Addams Family]].
** The Thing in Good Eats is canonically the grandson of the one from [[The Addams Family (TV)|The Addams Family]].
* A living plastic mannequin's arm in the first episode of the new ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]''.
** The infamous "Hand of Sutekh" from the episode ''Pyramids of Mars''. While this is only really a stagehand's hand holding down Sutekh's cushion when he first stands up, it has become an in-joke among ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' fans.
** Played straight for a spell in the classic story "Hand of Fear".
