History Main / ScarfOfAsskicking

** One interesting note: the Fourth's very, very, very, VERY long scarf was originally intended to be of just ordinary length. But apparently the costume designer bought the knitter hired for the job ten times the amount of wool needed...and she [[CrowningMomentofAwesome knitted all of it.]] "Witty little knitter" indeed. Also, it was ''shortened'' after "The Sontaran Experiment" when its length caused Tom Baker to trip and break his collarbone on location, requiring a double to take his place in long shots (!).

* Hotsuma in ''Shinobi'' takes this to extremes.

[[AC:{{Film}}]]
* Many of JohnWoo's heroes (usually played by Chow Yun-Fat) in his early HeroicBloodshed movies wore white scarves to their black {{Badass Longcoat}}s. Think Mark Gor from ''ABetterTomorrow'' and Ah Jong from ''TheKiller'', for example.
* The original film of ''{{The Ladykillers}}'' had Professor Marcus sporting a very long scarf.
* Really weird scarf/cape/{{Squick}} hybrid: In ''TheCell'', a journey into a serial killer's mind, one of the manifestations of his psyche is a huge man with metal rings set into his back, and velvet cloth hanging from the rings. When he stands up and walks forward, the velvet is dragged along behind him like a bridal train ... and the velvet curtains in the background all start to rise at once, as they're actually part of the ''extremely long'' scarves linked to his back. Creepy as freakin' hell.
* A scarf is worn by Charlton Heston as [[AdventurerArchaeologist treasure-hunter]] Harry Steele in Secret of the Incas, one of the primary inspirations for [[IndianaJones Indy]] and his outfit.

* [[{{Ys}} Adol Christin]] seems to have picked one up in Ys: The Oath in Felghana, and continues on to wear it in Ys Seven. It makes you wonder why it took so long for the developers to give it to him.

* [[{{Ys}} Adol Christin]] the main character of {{Ys}} seems to have picked one up in Ys: The Oath in Felghana, and continues on to wear it in Ys Seven. It makes you wonder why it took so long for the developers to give it to him.

* Mat Cauthon of the ''WheelOfTime'' series constantly wears a black silk scarf from book four on. It's to cover up the [[spoiler:scar from where he was hung from a tree by the neck.]]

* May Lee from the ''[[TheKingOfFighters The King of Fighters]] 2001'' has a "Hero Mode," which amounts to her throwing on a scarf, as a homage to {{Toku}} hero, ''KamenRider''.

* Proto Man in the ''MegaMan'' series is never seen without his trademark yellow scarf.

** [[RoyalBrat Eridan Ampora]] also wears one.

8[[PrinceOfPersia 2008 Prince of Persia]] has two. Technically they're a turban, but the majority of the fabric is around his neck and they come off his shoulders, and they flow awesomely while he does all the parkour and stylized duels, so they count.

* Doing a hardcore ascension as a Sauceror in KingdomOfLoathing gets you a scarf. Made of ''stainless steel '', meaning that whoever wears it is either a total badass or stupid. Or both.

* Braig and of ''KingdomHearts: BirthBySleep''.

[[caption-width:250:Now it even doubles as an [[ImprobableWeaponUser improbable weapon]]!]]

[[caption-width:250:With her, the scarf is probably the least of your worries...]]

* Inverted by Aurora from ''AlphaFlight'', back when she wore a blue scarf during winter/Arctic missions. Not only was it unflattering, clashing with her yellow and white costume, but at least once a villain tried to strangle her with it.

** Well, Asura has a double prehensile scarf of asskicking made from his own skin. SoYeah...

* The BadassBookworm [[DoctorWho Fourth Doctor]].
