History Main / CrashingThroughTheHarem

* ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'': This happens to the title character while he's escaping the guards (after stealing a loaf of bread) and singing "One Jump Ahead".

* The title Character of {{Disney/Aladdin}}, during the song "One Jump Ahead".

* In the graphic novel "Hooky," Spindrifter saves a falling SpiderMan by opening a portal beneath him that opens into one of these. As per his luck and overdeveloped sense of responsibility, he (reluctantly) extracts himself from the amorous women "before (he) really start to enjoy it."

* In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarII'', your escape from the Colossus of Rhodes's rampage takes you crashing through the ceiling of a bathhouse where two women wait in a state of undress. You can stop and have sex with them by [[PressXToNotDie hitting the action button]]!

* In ''[[Film/RoadTo Road to Morocco]]'', Creator/BobHope and Creator/BingCrosby try to hide from the evil Kasim by hiding in a harem. Unfortunately, they get found out.

For whatever reason, our young male protagonist is in the middle of a chase scene or bar brawl and crashes straight into a room full of beautiful young women. Depending on the setting, this could be an ''Literature/ArabianNights''-style [[RoyalHarem harem]], a bordello, or a girls' locker room, but it will be a private place containing several young women, usually in some state of undress. Expect there to be lots of silk curtains and maybe a bath or shower. They may act offended (going so far as to go after the young male protagonist for intruding or just scream at him and throw stuff) or they may giggle and even flirt with the hero… until their dour chaperone shoves him back into the fray. Sometimes, the young male protagonist may hide out in the harem, bordello, or girls' locker/shower room in order to escape whoever's chasing him, often dressed in drag, posing as a chaperone/eunuch/locker room guard, or disappearing into a locker, curtained-off room, or in a vent.

* A [[RealityEnsues more realistic example]] of this Trope occurs in on of one of Todd [=McFarlane's=] filler issues of ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' (notable for its cover, a {{Homage}} to ''[[ComicBook/ActionComics Action Comics #1]]'') One of Spidey's [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain less formidable villains]], Buck Mitty, aka the Humbug, plans to rob an art display on the ESU campus, only to take a wrong turn and bust into the girls' locker room, enacting screams and things thrown at him from the female students, who assume he's some drunk fratboy. As he runs away, Mitty concedes that he never ''was'' very familiar with the campus layout, other than the science department, and decides to stick to them when he tries again later. (Unfortunately for him, [[EpicFail he messes that up too.]])

* A [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] in ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction'': after Yosemite Sam shoots Daffy with a cannon, Daffy is sent flying straight through the wall of a room where a group of showgirls are getting ready… and then straight through the ''opposite'' wall. It's then doubly subverted as he actually [[ToonPhysics flies back through the hole in the wall]] to complement the dancers before flying back out again.

* ''Literature/ChroniclesOfTheKencyrath'': Invoked by Adriana--she gives Torisen an aphrodisiac that makes him super attractive, and sets him in the women's halls. Deconstructed, because it's a nightmare for him--he's chased by a hord of women who might rape him, and is preposed to by a 7-year-old.

* In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarII'', your escape from the Colossus of Rhodes's rampage takes you crashing through the ceiling of a bathhouse where two women wait in a state of undress. You can stop and have sex with them by [[QuickTimeEvent hitting the action button!]]

* In ''Franchise/LeDonjonDeNaheulbeuk: L'Orbe de Xaraz'', the protagonists crash through the brute-ball cheerleaders' changing room while trying to escape their pursuers.

* Lampshaded in ''Series/TheProfessionals'' when a detective friend of Doyle times a narcotics bust at a strip club so he'll be in the dressing room when the girls come offstage.
* Lampshaded in ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' in [[ShowWithinAShow "The Adventures of Captain Proton"]], a ComicStrip/FlashGordon-expy holodeck program. While sneaking into the SupervillainLair, it's part of the program that the players come across a harem of slave-girls and free them from the clutches of the BigBad.

* This happens in ''Film/TheScorpionKing'' movie. Unlike other examples, the harem girls steal the protagonist's weapons while they're touching him up.

-->'''Bugs:''' (Rushes into a room, screams are heard, he rushes out and closes the door) Err, um... a Hare-em, I think.
-->'''Genie:''' (opens the door and looks in, to more screams) Oh that was a harem all right. I know a harem when I see one.
