Searching the Stalls: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* In ''[[Gunsmith Cats]]'', May drags an injured Rally into a bathroom to hide from [[This Means War|Radinov]]. Played straight despite Radinov not checking the stalls because of the obvious blood trail. She is, however, dealing with [[Trap Master|Minnie May]] now.

 

 

* In the [[The Punisher]] storyline "Suicide Run", a bunch of mafia [[Mooks]] hide in the bathroom. The Punisher is not sure which stall contains what, so he shoots through all of them.

 

 

* ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'', when Boo and Sully are hiding from Randall. He punches them open one by one, and Sully flinches as every door opens. {{spoiler|Randall actually slams open the stall Sully is hiding in, but isn't looking at the time. Momentum closes the door before Randall sees them.}}

* In ''[[Problem Child|Problem Child 2]]'', Trixie hides in the bathroom and stands on the toilet seats so her feet don't show. Junior looks underneath each stall, and doesn't see her feet, but he isn't fooled.

 

 

* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode, ''Partners in Crime'', it turns out that {{spoiler|the bad guys are actually searching for a ''different'' person, also a spy, who happens to be in the cubicle next to Donna's}}.

* ''[[Law & Order: UK]]'': While pursuing a suspect through Waterloo Station, DS Matt Devlin realizes he must had fled into the bathroom to hide. When he goes into the bathroom to look for him, he doesn't even need to search the stalls—only one has the door closed.

 

 

* ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'' has a mission where a guy you're chasing runs in the bathroom. You have to open stall by stall to get him.

* ''[[Punisher]]'' (2005): A male mook sometimes will try to hide in the women's restroom (at Central Park Zoo). Doesn't work out, as Frank can explicitly drown him in the toilet. That's going to give a tourist a scare.

 

 

* ''[[The Simpsons]]''. To paraphrase, "I've never seen anyone so desperate to avoid ten minutes of calisthenics".
