** Zach's [[OverlyLongGag ludicrously protracted]] forced amputation of Martin's toes. As Martin begs him to stop, Zach swings the hatchet down time and again, just barely missing Martin's foot to "practice" his aim. After assuring him that ''this'' time he'll do it for real, he ''again'' misses and blames his bad aim on Martin distracting him. Then he hacks off a toe... and states that he still needs hack more off.

* AgonyOfTheFeet:AgonyOfTheFeet: A real cavalcade of this trope. After getting his shoes stolen, Martin steps on a spiked stone booby trap and severely cuts the bottom of his foot. It gets crudely stitched up without anesthetic, but becomes infected. Several of his toes get cut off with an axe to stave off infection, again without anesthetic, and his toe stumps must later get cauterized.
