* ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate''. Done so (ahem) ham-handedly that the [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]] crew shouts "SEEN IT!" when the hand design on The Master's robes is not-so-subtly revealed for the umpteenth time.

Done so (ahem) ham-handedly that the [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]] crew shouts "SEEN IT!" when the hand design on The Master's robes is not-so-subtly revealed for the umpteenth time. This appears to be in part because Tom Neyman (the Master's actor and the film's set designer) was fixated on hands in his artwork at the time; several of his hand sculptures are dotted through the lodge set.

** [[Characters/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrailGraceMonroe Grace Monroe]] has two of them: the stomach as shown in ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainKnightOfTheOrangeLily'' and mouth in general. The stomach is based on a scene when Tokio bashes her there [[spoiler:after her callous murder of a gentle rabbit denizen Utahoshi]], reflecting her gluttony on wanting a bigger number no matter the cost, and how she later couldn't ''stomach'' the truth about what the Train is about. The mouth is based on her CharacterTics of trilling her lips like a horse whinny when she needs to focus and that all of her problems stemmed from her ''big mouth'' boasting that she knew how the Train worked. [[spoiler:And in a karmic twist, when she gets reincaranated as Warler, she's a music note that has no mouth.]]
** Goh Fujihachi's own body motif happens to be his face: Chloe shows how angry she is at him by slamming a plate of hot curry into his face, his own lack of social skills and inability to process where he's done wrong mean he has problems ''facing'' his own mistakes, and after one round of nightmare therapy, he gains a tic of clawing at his face.

In ''Seeker of Crocus'', his new motif is his mouth because it's reflective of his poor communication problems, either saying ''too'' much or clamming up when it would be better to be open.

* In ''Manga/{{Monster}}'', Johan likes to tell people to shoot him in the head [[spoiler:(which happens, in fact, twice)]]. This is done as a parallel to the beast from Revelation, as well as being imitated in a puppeteer's play later on in the show.

** As well as [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Lunge/Runge's]] hand, which moves as if he's typing whenever he is learning new information or recalling something he has already learned.
