== Anime & Manga ==
* Pictured above: In ''[[Voltron]]''/''[[GoLion]]'', Lotor ties up Princess Romelle/Amue this way.
* In ''[[Now and Then, Here and There]]'', the [[Decoy Protagonist]] is suspended outside the massive death-ship for three continuous days... during which time they fire something we ''swear'' wasn't a nuke.
* ''[[Digimon]]''
** The Digimon Emperor did this to the Digidestined aside from Davis in an episode of ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'', telling him that he could only save one. Luckily it turned out not to be the real Digidestined at all.
Line 34:
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', Sôsuke threatens a local gang leader who has kidnapped Kaname by holding the leader's younger brother and suspending him from a series of ropes that he then detonates in turn; once the opposition has surrendered, {{spoiler|Sôsuke reveals the whole thing was a setup and the boy was safe the whole time; the kid was in on it.}}
* In a more light-hearted version of this trope, Episode 5 of ''[[Minami-ke]]'' has Kana roll up Chiaki in a sheet and suspend her from a clothes line to make a rain charm.
* Natsuki in ''[[
* Commonly used in ''[[Ranma ½]]''.
** When [[Cloudcuckoolander|Principal Kunô]] tries to force Ranma into obedience by knocking Akane out, then [[Crucified Hero Shot|dangling her from the ceiling]]. Doesn't work—she breaks free immediately when she wakes up and gives him a piece of her mind (and a footprint on his face).
Line 77:
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* This is done to the inflatable "Citizen" in the Save the Citizen game in ''[[Sky High]]'', to simulate villains doing this to their captives. Will Stronghold mentions at the end how after they replaced the citizens with the actual villains no-one saved the Citizen anymore, but we're to assume that's a joke because [[Don't Explain the Joke|he said as much]].
{{quote|"[[Noodle Incident|Remember when we used actual civilians?]]"
"Yeah..." }}
* The [[Badass Biker]] gang hung one of the ''[[Wild Hogs]]'' from a tree this way. They tried to rescue him by driving their bikes under him and yanking as they went by. It didn't work.
Line 87:
== Literature ==
* In [[Graham McNeill]]'s ''[[Warhammer
* In [[Robert E. Howard]]'s ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'' story "[[Xuthal of the Dusk|The Slithering Shadow]]", Thalis does to Natala before flogging her.
* In ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]]'', Voldemort uses magic to suspend his prisoner in the air before eventually killing her.
Line 170:
* This happened at least once on ''[[The Perils of Penelope Pitstop]]''.
* The ''[[Batman]]''/''[[Superman]]'' animated series cross over, ''World's Finest'', has [[Lois Lane]] tied up like this.
* Happens in ''[[Totally Spies!]]'' We could cite a specific example, but [http://fetishfuel.wikia.com/wiki/Totally_Spies! we're sure that's unneccesary].
* Shaak Ti gets bound up by electric wires by General Grievous in ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars|Star Wars the Clone Wars]]''.
* The [[Three Amigos]] of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' get strung up this way by [[Satan|Lucius]].
