== Anime & Manga ==
* In the OVA adaptation of ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'', Lloyd does this to get to Kvar alone. Unfortunately, he then proceeds to get his ass handed to him, until Kratos and Sheena show up to save the day.
* In ''[[Macross Plus]]'', we get the "corridor of doors closing in sequence" version as Myung and Guld race through; the doors are justified as being firewalls (and there IS a fire going on); unfortunately for them, one closes on Guld, who stoically uses his back as a barrier to protect Myung. Which is only possible because Guld, [[Half-Human Hybrid|being half-Zentraedi]], is [[The Big Guy|more accurately described as a mountain]]
* ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]''. Rico and Henrietta slide under a closing door during the attack on the terrorist-occupied nuclear power plant.
Line 23:
* ''[[Shrek]] 2'' does this as well... with Puss in Boots. Voiced by Antonio Banderas, which made it even funnier.
* Massively spoofed in ''[[The Incredibles]],'' where Elastigirl manages to get stuck in a whole series of [[Slow Doors]] ''[[Rubber Man|simultaneously]].''
* In ''[[Chicken Run]]'', Ginger gets to the closing oven door easily, but Rocky is stuck falling into pies. She wedges the door open and runs back for him, then makes it out of the oven with the
* ''[[Tangled]]'' does this with Rapunzel and Flynn escaping into the cave from beneath the giant falling rock pillar. Flynn manages to grab the previously discarded frying pan at the last second.
Line 30:
* The classic example is ''[[Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom]]'', with the addition of reaching back for [[Nice Hat|his hat]] at the last second (hence the trope name). In ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'' he reaches back for his [[Weapon of Choice|whip]].
** Parodies often mix the two movies. They use the ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' setup, i.e the giant boulder, but have the stand-in for Indy reach for a hat instead of the whip. They might be confused, or they might simply be [[Adaptation Distillation|combining the more memorable trap and the funnier thing to reach for]].
* Another Harrison Ford example, predating ''Indiana Jones'', is the original ''[[Star Wars]]''. Avoiding a security lockdown and being followed by stormtroopers, Han Solo jumped through the diamond shaped opening that was formed by the blast doors closing. Interestingly enough, later movies depict the blast doors closing far too fast for any sort of maneuver like
** ''Eberts Little Movie Glossary'' even calls this trope the ''Harrison Door''.
* A scene from ''[[Spaceballs]]'' parodies the ''Star Wars'' example. The characters dive through a blast door just in time, but there's a cadre of Spaceballs waiting for them. They get away anyway, though, because, as the lieutenant shockedly points out, "You idiots! [[No Fourth Wall|You've captured their stunt doubles!]]" The door also closes notably faster after the characters jumped through.
Line 60:
** Gwen Cooper in the episode "Ghost Machine".
** Subverted in the episode "Exit Wounds", in which {{spoiler|Owen gets trapped in a nuclear power station that's about to go up, and doesn't make it to the door in time. He actually does die}}. He was {{spoiler|technically dead already. But there was that glove...}}
* Another subversion in ''[[Blake's 7|Blakes Seven]]'', when they raid the {{spoiler|decoy}} Star One
* Subverted in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "Dalek". Adam and Rose are fleeing from the Dalek while the Doctor is forced to close the door to the room where he, Van Statten and Diana Goddard are hiding. Adam makes it in time by rolling under the door. Rose ''doesn't''.
* Spike does this while escaping the Initiative on ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''.
Line 98:
** Bart also does this when he lifts Homer's change jar in a specific send up of Indy's adventures, complete with ''actual Indiana Jones music'' and Bart grabbing his hat from under the closing door.
** Marge did one of these with the closing garage when she finds the police career to be exciting in "The Springfield Connection."
* ''[[Jonny Quest]]'' TOS episode "The Fraudulent Volcano". Jonny and Hadji crawled on their hands and knees under a closing security
* This happens in ''[[Recess|Recess: Schools Out]], when the kids are being chased inside the school.
* On the ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' episode "Task Force X", Plastique and Deadshot do this to escape {{spoiler|from a nuclear reactor on The Watchtower they sabotaged}} as blast doors are closing. They pull off with the first door, but don't make it in time for the second (Captain Atom saves them).
