* The Hong Kong Martial arts flick, ''Film/ThePostmanFightsBack'' have the character Fu Jun (played by a young [[Creator/ChowYunFat Chow Yun-Fat]]) who uses his scarf as a weapon, notably using it to strangle an enemy thug. [[spoiler: He ends up getting [[HoistByHisOwnPetard tied by his own scarf in the end though]], allowing the BigBad to stab him in the back]].

* A subtle example in ''Film/OutOfSight. During the final confrontation, one of Snoopy's men was trying to rape Ripley's assistant when Jack comes in. The two men have an armed stand off for a moment, until the woman tosses a bedsheet over the would-be rapist. This blinds him for a critical split-second, which is all it takes.

No longer a trope.


An occurrence where a character uses a piece of stray cloth as a weapon. The cloth used can vary from blankets to bags with towels getting special mention, as they're a convenient illustration of CantBatheWithoutAWeapon. The cloth can be used in a number of ways. In the most benign uses, the cloth can be used to capture or blind an enemy. More agile characters may even use the cloth to capture a weapon and disarm their opponent. More sinister characters can use the cloth as a makeshift garrote or even a hangman's noose. More straightforwardly, sufficiently strong cloth could be used [[WhipItGood as a whip]]. A type of fighting style that is not seen often, but does show up in some movies or TV shows.
