History Main / ExtendedDisarming

* The ''BarbWire'' movie shows Pamela/Barb laboriously dropping an extensive number of machine guns, knives, and ammo. Of course it's all for naught as Police Chief Willis sneaks her a hand grenade.
* ''VampireInBrooklyn'': when Max, masquerading as an Italian crook, raids an Italian restaurant frequented by a number of gangster bosses, he calls for all weapons to be dropped. The resulting heap includes various blades, guns, brass knuckles, the traditional lead pipe, a bundle of dynamite sticks as well as what looks very much like a machete. Commented by Max with: "Hey, there's a lot of f* cking love in this room!"

* ''PoliceAcademy'': When Tackleberry and his paramour are getting undressed for bed, we see the removal of the outer garments, then (from offscreen) the removal of the weapons, and then one gun Tackleberry forgot about goes off prematurely. Ahem; it was an ''actual'' gun. Needless to say the film ends with their wedding.

* ''[[PiratesOfTheCaribbean Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End]]'': Elizabeth Swann undergoes an Extended Disarming. The scene starts with some degree of realism -- sure, she was carrying a lot of guns, but that was standard practice in those days because you got only one shot out of each of them, and [[OfCorsetsSexy female clothing]] of that time period had [[VictoriasSecretCompartment lots of places]] to conceal things. Then she pulls out a ''a blunderbuss''. The gun's size along with her gestures while taking it out and Barbossa's confused look lend to some rather [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar disturbing theories]] as to ''where'' exactly she was hiding it...
* ''MissCongeniality'' had Gracie, after walking awkwardly in a beauty pageant dress, finally lets out a defeated growl, pulling a series of pistols, spare magazines, and even a pair of handcuffs out of thigh holsters and hidden spots all over it. Her stunned aide exclaims, "What, no armoured car?" Gracie replies flippantly, "That would be in my other dress." (She then ups the ante by [[VictoriasSecretCompartment trying to hide donuts in the dress]] at the end of the same scene.)
* Implied in ''ThankYouForSmoking'': when entering a government building, gun lobbyist (and enthusiast) Bobby Jay Bliss sets off the metal detector and surrenders first one gun, then another. As he's being gone over with a wand, he waves the others on. "You go ahead, this might take awhile."
* In ''{{Sahara}}'', the heroes find it advantageous to disarm. The first two drop their [=AKs=], while the third drops his AK, the spare magazines, a brace of pistols and ''their'' magazines, and so on. The first two give the third a Look, and he responds with, "What?"
* ''InTheLineOfFire'' has a realistic example when two Secret Service Agents (Clint Eastwood and Rene Russo) are getting undressed for sex. We see them drop their guns, badges, handcuffs, extendable batons, radios, etc. When she suddenly has to leave, Eastwood says, "Dammit, now I have to put all that shit back on."

* ''NunsOnTheRun'' has a scene where Eric Idle's cohorts meet with some Japanese Yakuza types. The cohorts demand the Yakuza remove all their weapons, and so they collectively produce a small pile of knives, cleavers and machetes. One Brit motions with his gun and says something like "Come on, let's have the rest," whereafter they add about twice as many more blades.

** Likewise, in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'', the player is stripped of all their equipment when entering The Pitt for the first time.

* ''Death Machine'': Jack Dante, the resident psychopathic genius played by Brad Dourif is forced to disarm at one point. The resulting heap of firearms is topped with a large rubber chicken.

* At the end of [[BusterKeaton Keaton's]] ''Our Hospitality'', Buster is finally accepted into the heroine's hostile family, as her father and brothers each remove their guns and set them on the table, followed by Buster removing six guns from his belt and one from his sock[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=zd-zlNmvsPY#t=4350s]].

* Weirdly enough, one of the ''Murderous Maths'' books does this:

* In an episode of ''Archer,'' This gets inverted. He (Archer) goes through a montage of putting on his various weapons to a man who is selling fraudulent cancer treatment drugs, ''heavily'' implying that he took all of them off beforehand. This includes at ''least'' four separate guns. He says "Now, do you want to see how many weapons I have again?"

* In ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers]]'', Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, and Gandalf are stopped before being given an audience in the hall of the Rohirrim. Aside from their primary weapons of a sword, an axe, and a bow, they have on them at least half a dozen each of secondary weapons such as small utility axes, daggers, combat knives, and so on. Gandalf only hands over his sword, and in the end ''gets to keep his staff'', quite possibly the most dangerous weapon of them all and the thing Wormtongue wanted taken in the first place--because he played up the "weak old man" angle to fool the guards.
** It's implied the guards knew full well that the staff was magical, and they were just hoping he'd use it to free their king. When the company do make their move, the guard keeps the other (good) soldiers out of it.

* The disarming scene in ''TheLordOfTheRings: The Two Towers'' occurs in the novel, as well, though for a different sort of comedy. In the book, Aragorn has already had Narsil reforged into Andúril (which did not happen until the third film), and refuses to give up his treasured heirloom and trusted weapon... until Gimli and Legolas point out that theirs will "keep it company".

-->'''Gibbs''': And the knife concealed at your waist. ''(Ziva hands knife to Gibbs, who hands it back)'' You can keep this. [[IKnowYouKnowIKnow I just wanted you to know that I know]]. [[hottip:*:This is a good thing, because she uses this knife to save their lives a while later. [[FridgeBrilliance Gibbs Rule #9: Never go anywhere without a knife]].

* ''PoliceAcademy'': When Tackleberry and his paramour are getting undressed for bed, we see the removal of the outer garments, then (from offscreen) the removal of the weapons, and then one gun Tackleberry forgot about goes off prematurely. Ahem; it was an ''actual'' gun.
** Given his paramour's personality, it's left up to the viewer to decide who forgot a gun. The last (camera) shot before the lights turn out has her removing a pistol from within her bra. Needless to say the film ends with their wedding.

* In Chapter 41 of [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3929411/1/Chunin_Exam_Day Chunin Exam Day]] (A.K.A. The Groundhog Exam), Anko has decided to change the second exam to one that requires some of the characters to be disarmed, one of which is Tenten. Dispersed throughout the chapter are scenes of her being disarmed until the proctors doing it give up.

* [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5843783/1/Disarmament Disarmament]], a GIJoe fanfiction. Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow agree to disarm to settle bets on which of them carries the most weaponry ... in exchange for 10% of the winnings.
* In TopDog, this is a staple of the Amazon Hidden Weapons art; Mu Tze does it [[RummageFail looking for a shotgun]] and along the way manages to pull an autorickshaw out of his coat.
* In Fanfic/{{Ascension}}, '''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion REI]]''' of all people does tris trope as part of her author-induced {{Xenafication}}. She produces two customized revolvers, two Micro Uzis, [[KnifeNut over three dozen knives]], a sword, four shurikens, two chakrams, a ''grenade launcher'' and all the assorted ammunition in the form of speedloaders, drum magazines and HE grenades. Above all that she possesses a [[{{BFG}} .50cal tank rifle]] but doesn't usually carry it with her because it's [[AvertedTrope impossible]] [[{{Hammerspace}} to conceal]].

* ''The Big Easy'': While entering the police station, one of the plainclothes officers [[spoiler: who turns out to be the BigBad]] is asked to remove all his weapons. Various pistols, a shotgun, a truncheon, and finally brass knuckles are removed. The officer in question remarks, "And if that don't work, I spit on 'em."

* ReillyAceOfSpies provides a rather understated, yet hilarious version. When Reilly and Savinkov attend the government hearing in Whitehall on their failure to overthrow Lenin, the aide at the front desk asks if they are carrying weapons. Reilly puts his Luger on the desk, while Savinkov pulls out a revolver and a Colt automatic. Then, after a brief pause, he makes a "Hang on a tic, forgot something" motion, and pulls a hand grenade out of his coat pocket.

* One Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway game, "Scenes to Rap", has Wayne (playing a student) setting off a metal detector as he enters school. He mimes removing several items, including a gun, a sword, and a bazooka.
* Parodied on TheBigBangTheory when Leonard forces Sheldon to hand over all of the portable gaming devices that he has concealed on his person to keep him from getting bored while watching Penny perform in a play. It starts innocently enough with a Nintendo DS and a PSP in his jacket... and then a Game Boy... and then [[TrouserSpace a Rubix Cube in his crotch]]... and ''then'' [[UpToEleven an Etch-a-Sketch in the back of his pants]].

* A prestige class from an Ambient d20 sourcebook features the ability to conceal a number of small-sized weapons equal to the character's dexterity modifier "in ways that would not be obvious to onlookers". The flavor text for the class has a woman with this class saving another party member by throwing a number of knives at a monster trying to ambush him. While taking a bath in a lake in nothing but underwear. The rescued character at first wonders where she could have possibly hidden all those knives, but then decides he's just glad she did.

* The rarely updating ''Pointless'' had 4 agents produce several pistols, knives, grenades, and a submachine gun and a pair of nunchucks at a checkpoint. Why nunchucks? [[http://pointlesscomic.com/2006/03/29/2006-03-29/ "So I had an extra pocket, Big deal"]]

* In the 1987 version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the turtles have surrendered to Shredder and Krang and are ordered to hand over all of their weapons. After handing over their normal weapons of two katanas, two sais, two nunchuks and a bo staff they are taken outside by foot soldiers and supervised in unloading the turtle van. They proceed to unload enough weapons to form a pile half as big as the van is. And bear in mind that internal shots of the van show that everything is stored in compact compartments with lots of internal space for the turtles and several friends to stand up in.

* Whateley has finally touched this, Ayla 7 ("Ayla and the Great Shoulder Angel Conspiracy"), chapter 5. Ayla has a utility belt with hammerspace arsenal, and was asked to show all his hold-outs. He put in a BIT too many in the simulation computer, and they wanted to verify he had them all. He did. Eventually, he was accused of having more weapons than Franchise/{{Batman}}, and was only missing [[LampshadeHanging the bat-launcher, and the 500 feet of cable]].

* AVeryPotterMusical has a fairly realistic version of this trope. Draco throws down his wand, his chocolate bar, and then reaches into his sock for his gun. After Umbridge questions him, he reluctantly gives up the gladius he has hidden beyond his back.

* Whateley has finally touched this, Ayla 7 ("Ayla and the Great Shoulder Angel Conspiracy"), chapter 5. Ayla has a utility belt with hammerspace arsenal, and was asked to show all his hold-outs. He put in a BIT too many in the simulation computer, and they wanted to verify he had them all. He did. Eventually, he was accused of having more weapons than {{Batman}}, and was only missing [[LampshadeHanging the bat-launcher, and the 500 feet of cable]].

* Happens with Shadow at an airport MetalDetectorCheckpoint in an episode of ''SonicUncut''. This was ''before'' the black blur's [[ShadowTheHedgehog self-titled game]] was made.

* Number two: a companion with a powerful sense of honor (Or a knowlegeable foe) gently 'reminds' the walking armory about that one extra piece he 'forgot' to surrender to their hosts. The dishonorable one gets a sour look, but the last weapon is surrendered anyway.

The reverse of the LockAndLoadMontage. Can happen to the WalkingArmory. Don't confuse this trope with FakeArmDisarm.

* Officer Volvo Saigo of ''{{Kochikame}}'' is this when he has to be disarmed realistically carrying a full array of firearms, knives, and grenades under his clothes including his underwear.

* In the TV adaptation of James Clavell's ''{{Shogun}}'', John Rhys-Davies has come to murder the protagonist in his home, but the household staff insist on searching him despite his protests, removing one concealed weapon after the other even though Rhys-Davies keeps insisting he's just there for a friendly chat.

* In the 1987 version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the turtles have surrendered to Shredder and Krang and are ordered to hand over all of their weapons. After handing over their normal weapons of two katanas, two sais, two nunchuks and a bo staff they are taken outside by foot soldiers and supervised in unloading the van. They proceed to unload enough weapons to form a pile half as big as the van is. And bear in mind that internal shots of the van show that everything is stored in compact compartments with lots of internal space for the turtles and several friends to stand up in.

** Further played with in that later in the same episode the turtles get a convenient distraction and they proceed to apparently pull holdout weapons from literally out of their ass.

-->'''Gibbs''': And the knife concealed at your waist. ''(Ziva hands knife to Gibbs, who hands it back)'' You can keep this. [[IKnowYouKnowIKnow I just wanted you to know that I know]]. [[hottip:*:This is a good thing, because she uses this knife to save their lives a while later. [[FridgeBrilliance Gibbs Rule #9: Never go anywhere without a knife]].]]

* The disarming scene in ''TheLordOfTheRings: The Two Towers'' occurs in the novel, as well, though for a different sort of comedy. In the book, Aragorn has already had Narsil reforged into Anduril (which did not happen until the third film), and refuses to give up his treasured heirloom and trusted weapon... until Gimli and Legolas point out that theirs will "keep it company".
** It is notable that in this original version, Gandalf ''volunteers'' Glamdring (the elvish longsword that the film-guards didn't bother to check) in order to break [[MexicanStandoff the logjam]] that Aragorn's insistence was causing. When he refuses to give up the staff, the door warden (in this version) [[LampshadeHanging comments]] [[GenreSavvy about how "[t]he staff in the hand of a wizard may be more than a prop for age."]] Then he lets them through (with staff) because these four strangers seem like honorable types, and because the order came from [[EvilChancellor Grima Wormtongue]], and [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating even the guards hate him]].

** And then they let him have [[EyeScream a pencil]].

* A variant occurs near the end of the HammersSlammers story ''At Any Price'', when a mercenary genuinely forgets to remove the small knife he keeps up one sleeve. He actually blushes when reminded that he hasn't disarmed completely.
* In the ''BelisariusSeries'', a Malwa bodyguard spots that Belisarius forgot to hand over a ''tiny'' knife he uses to sharpen quill pens. They let him keep it after Belisarius comments he could probably "kill a chicken with it, after a desperate struggle," and the bodyguard says "the chicken would win." It doesn't get used as a weapon, but still comes in handy later.
* Used in a Star Wars Expanded Universe book, Republic Commando Triple Zero, by a Mandalorian mercenary who removes dozens of weapons from his person while conversing with a Jedi General.
