History Main / HotWind

A SubTrope of DramaticWind. Compare the MarilynManeuver.

* Astrid in ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon''. {{Justified|Trope}} because she was walking out of a conflagration at the time... which makes it a ''[[{{Pun}} literal]]'' HotWind.

* ''Series/TheBoys''. Queen Maeve puts a unique spin on this trope when it happens while she's being [[PedestrianCrushesCar hit by a multi-ton armored car]]. As the engine block disintegrates around her NighInvulnerable form, we get a SlowMotion HotWind shot as debris flies past her.

%% * ''Film/WaynesWorld'': Most shots of Garth's crush feature this.
* Astrid in ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon''. {{Justified|Trope}} because she was walking out of a conflagration at the time... which makes it a ''[[{{Pun}} literal]]'' HotWind.
* Played with in ''Film/{{Twilight}}'' - when Edward first sees Bella, she gets this treatment, because she's standing in front of a fan. Edward gives a freaked-out reaction to her. It seems like he's reacting to her appearance, but we later find out it's because the fan was blowing her ''smell'' towards him - to him, a vampire, she smells more delicious than anyone he's ever met.

* ''Film/{{Hausu}}'': Ryouko, Gorgeous's beautiful new stepmom, is always surrounded by a slight breeze that tosses her many diaphanous scarves around. It's unclear why, although it seems to highlight her beauty.

* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'': It actually happens nearly every time an attractive female is introduced. Eventually lampshaded in the eighth season when JD narrates how he likes to describe attractive women walking in slow motion with wind blowing through their hair whenever he meets them.
** Also lampshaded in season 4 with Molly's introduction. She comments that the hospital is really windy and the camera reveals that the janitor was using a fan to dry up urine.

* In ''Series/NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'', Ned is convinced in one episode that his true love will be highlighted by a glowing light and this trope.
* ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOnDeck'': Zack finds a girl who doesn't fall for his charms, and as his feelings for her grow, when he looks at her, he sees her with the wind blowing through her hair.

* ''Series/ThirtyRock'': Liz Lemon sets up an industrial fan to create this effect for her when ex-boyfriend Floyd returns to New York needing a place to stay. Accompanied by full make up and ridiculously tight red dress, to create a much 'hotter' Lemon (who cannot [[FashionHurts breathe normally]]).

* ''Series/JandaKembang'':
** In Salmah's introduction, wind out of nowhere blows her hair, establishing that Malik is attracted to her.
** Salmah's hair is blown by the wind, indoor, when Malik sees her visiting his shop in episode 5. It's probably the only clue about the incoming DaydreamSurprise.
** When Wulan's cousin Slamet meets Seli, Seli's hair is suddenly blown and the scene goes slow-mo to indicate Slamet's attraction.

* In ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', three Raith sisters get this in Turn Coat. Justified, as they show up by ''jumping out of a helicopter that's level with the trees''. Lampshaded by Harry, who said that if there were any justice in the world, he would get to watch them walk in slow motion.

* Spoofed in ''[[Film/AttackOfTheKillerTomatoes Killer Tomatoes Strike Back!]]'' As TheHero falls in love with the HotScientist, she suddenly appears from his point-of-view in [[GaussianGirl soft focus]], [[TheGlassesGottaGo removing her glasses]] and tousling her hair in a wind that gets stronger and stronger until he's shouting his LoveConfession as they both get blown across the room while catching a face-full of newspapers, leaves and other rubbish. Annoyed, she puts her glasses back on and the wind suddenly stops, causing the hero to fall to the ground from the lamppost he was desperately holding on to.

* ''Series/JandaKembang'': Salmah's hair is blown by the wind, indoor, when Malik sees her visiting his shop in episode 5. It's probably the only clue about the incoming DaydreamSurprise.

** Played with this in the season 5 premiere:
---> '''Buffy to Dracula''': You think you can just waft in with your music-video wind.

--->'''Andrew:''' (V.O.): You've already met Buffy. (Buffy [[SlowMotion gracefully pours]] herself a bowl of cereal, and [[HairFlip shakes her hair sexily]] in the [[HotWind breeze that comes from nowhere]], and [[AsideGlance looks directly into the camera]]) She's beautiful, with a lion's heart and— (Buffy winks) and the face of an angel. She's never afraid 'cause she knows her side will always win.

* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'': It actually happens nearly every time an attractive female is introduced. Eventually lampshaded in the eighth season when JD narrates how he likes to describe attractive women walking in slow motion with wind blowing through their hair whenever she meets them.
