* ''Manga/InuYasha'': When Naraku first introduces [[TheBrute Juromaru]], he's in an iron cage and despite looking like a white-haired {{Bishonen}} wearing expansive clothes he's wrapped in chains and has an iron mask covering his face. As soon as he removes the chains and mask to have him fight the heroes at his top, Juromaru promptly beheads Naraku's golem, showing off why he was chained up.

* ''Manga/OnePiece''''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'':
** Once they're defeated by a hero, the more powerful villains are loaded into a heavy steel capsule referred to as the 'Iron Maiden' for transit to [[ExtranormalPrison Tartarus]]. There are also solid metal 'straitjackets' used to hold villains still; in the case of exceptionally powerful and belligerent villains, both are used simultaneously.
** At the end of the Shie Hassaikai arc, Overhaul is seen being transported to the villain hospital strapped to a gurney with his hands sealed inside a special shackle, designed to prevent him from using his (touch-based) [[ThePowerOfCreation deconstruction/reconstruction quirk]]. The gurney is kept in the back of an armored truck escorted by several police cars and a hero.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'':



* ''Manga/SamuraiDeeperKyo'': the four [[IAmAHumanitarian Berserkers]] of the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Twelve Heavenly Generals]] are so violent and ferocious that they are constantly chained up into an underground cell when not needed. In fact, as soon as the chains are removed they promptly devour their own jailers. They only fully remove their apparel and chains when engaged in combat with their enemies.

* ''Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': In the sequel comics, [[spoiler:one story arc ends with Azula's being wheeled in with a still whacked, disturbing smile on her face]].
* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': Several members of Batman's rogues gallery tend to be shown like this during "downtime" in Arkham, particularly ComicBook/TheJoker and Killer Croc. Special mention goes to [[SerialKiller Mr. Zsasz]], who's traditionally transported with a collar-and-rod system taking ''four'' guards.
* ''ComicBook/{{Copperhead}}'': Zolo's gang kidnaps Boo and handcuffs him. He escapes in a matter of hours and starts killing his captors. When they recapture him he's bound with chains and stuffed into tiny seating flanked by guards with no range of movement.
* ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'': In several issues, Bullseye is shown being transported in this fashion, with his hands bound to the point that he couldn't grab anything if he wanted to, and his feet bound so close that he can barely walk. Later issues (after he'd demonstrated he retained the ability to kill guards even bound up like that) showed him with bound hands, feet, a muzzle over his face, and tightly bound to a furniture mover's hand cart.

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': In the ''ComicBook/MaximumCarnage'' storyline Cletus Cassidy was being transported via the chained-to-hand-cart method. Unfortunately for the guards, his [[TheSymbiote symbiote]] has gotten into his bloodstream, so when a doctor takes a blood sample from him, the open wound allows him to transform back into Carnage.
* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol 1]]: When Diana and the Holliday Girls recapture the four villains who managed to escape from Reformation Island they send the first two back bound hand and foot. The latter two are bound in Diana's magic lasso and escorted by the princess herself.

* ''Film/AssaultOnPrecinct131976''. Napoleon Wilson (who is said to have killed six people [[CrypticBackgroundReference for reasons that are never revealed]]) is shackled for the ride on the prison bus taking him to Death Row, and the Warden trips him up just to KickTheDog. A few minutes later Wilson returns the favor by tripping up the Warden with his chain. He doesn't get out of his shackles until halfway through the movie. In the final scene, Lieutenant Bishop refuses to allow Wilson to be handcuffed and [[FireForgedFriends insists they walk out of Precinct 13 together]].
* One of the most familiar examples comes from ''Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs'', where Hannibal is transported from his usual maximum-security cell by being chained inside a straightjacket, wheeled around on a hand truck, and wearing his iconic mask.
* ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' blurs the line between this and the TailorMadePrison with the government's mobile prison-van. [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Mystique]] is kept behind bars ''and'' with her hands shackled to the ceiling. [[TheJuggernaut Juggernaut]] and [[MesACrowd Multiple Man]] both got locked in standing metal coffins to seal off their abilities. The guards on the van were also armed with weaponized [[KryptoniteFactor Mutant Cure]].
* In ''Film/TheBoondockSaints'', Il Duce (pictured above) is moved from his cell to the ground floor for a parole hearing. He is cuffed hand and foot, chained to a rolling platform, and wheeled down to the parole board. The entire prison is put on high-alert, with shotgun-wielding guards on every floor, all to move one man down a few flights of stairs. Once he's there, they even put him inside a metal cage to protect the parole board. All this serves to establish this guy as perhaps the biggest badass of the movie. Makes you wonder why they even ''thought'' about parole... [[note]] It's more or less stated that Papa Joe Yakavetta was pulling strings and getting him out for the purpose of dealing with Rocco, who he thinks is behind the killings of his men that the [=MacManus=] brothers have been carrying out. [[/note]]
* Lecter-expy Garland Green (Creator/SteveBuscemi) in ''Film/ConAir'' was introduced wearing similar restraints as Lecter. When he's taken onto the plane, there's trepidation among at least one of the other criminals about actually taking them off.
* Invoked with DJ Qualls' character in the 2002 film ''Film/TheNewGuy'', who is delivered by a sympathetic prison staff to his new school in a straightjacket and mask as a shout-out to Green (and by extension, Lecter). The whole thing was a sham to convince his new peers that he was a formidable badass, rather a reversal of his former image.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'': Han Solo was [[AndIMustScream frozen in carbonite]] following his capture by Boba Fett in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' to be transported to Jabba the Hutt. Fett didn't like the risk to Solo's life (and, thus, his bounty), but Vader was willing to write him a compensation check if Han died. Unlike most examples it wasn't done because Han himself was too dangerous; the point of the exercise was to test the method for later use on Luke. However Series/TheMandalorian is later shown to have a carbonite-freezer in his spacecraft, so it appears the bounty-hunting fraternity thought Vader had come up with a good idea.

* ''Film/AssaultOnPrecinct131976''. ''Film/Thirteen2010'' has a case of being literally shipped when a contestant in the DeadlyGame is shackled and [[HumanMail sent in a crate]] from a Mexican prison. He's shackled not because he's dangerous but because he ''really'' didn't volunteer for this.

* In ''Film/FantasticBeastsTheCrimesOfGrindelwald'', Grindelwald starts the film being shipped from New York to Europe for trial. His hands are shackled, his wand confiscated, his [[TongueTrauma tongue removed]] (apparently, he's so persuasive that multiple guards assigned to him have defected), locked in a flying carriage with at least three other wizards training their wands on him at all times, and said carriage has magical locks that run around almost the entire doorframe. Two other wizards follow this carriage on brooms for backup. [[MagnificentBastard Grindelwald being Grindelwald]], [[spoiler:it's not nearly enough. He's not even in the carriage]].

** Loki in ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'' is escorted to his trial in heavy handcuffs, legcuffs and a metal collar interconnected with chains that are also wrapped around his waist, and is accompanied by ''ten'' Einherjar, elite Asgardian warriors holding those chains.

Of course, Toph gets out by [[spoiler: inventing metal bending]]. See the series' [[Awesome/AvatarTheLastAirbender CMOA page]].
* An episode of the original ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' opened with Killer Croc being transported to prison with his arms and legs in shackles. He escapes by biting through the chains and uses their remains as evidence that he was a prisoner in a freak show. After Batman recaptures him he is taken away chained, straight-jacketed and muzzled.

* In ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse2002'' Kobra Khan is shackled and muzzled when transported. The muzzle is left on in his prison cell due to him being able to spit acid-like venom.
* Muzzle from ''WesternAnimation/RoadRovers'' was kept restrained exactly like Hannibal, complete with a muzzle. And he was one of the good guys! See the [[WesternAnimation/RoadRovers page image for the series]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' the police nab the Tattletale Strangler (for littering, of course) and proceed to wrap him in several miles of handcuffs, chains, manacles, and even eye-cuffs. All of which he slithers out of about five seconds later. "Not again!"
* In his first appearance in the ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'' episode "New Alliances", Kaynar is being shipped in shackles back to his cell in solitary confinement.

* ''Series/{{Farscape}}''. D'Argo, one of the main characters who is a former prisoner of the Peacekeepers, has a couple of attachment rings ''permanently imbedded'' in his collar bone for this trope. He's from a species that suffer from regular bouts of [[TheBerserker Hyper-Rage]] so they must be restrained, or they'll kill someone. That doesn't make D'Argo happy about it however, and he has them surgically removed in Season 3.

* Several members of ComicBook/{{Batman}}'s rogues gallery tend to be shown like this during "downtime" in Arkham, particularly ComicBook/TheJoker and Killer Croc. Special mention goes to [[SerialKiller Mr. Zsasz]], who's traditionally transported with a collar-and-rod system taking ''four'' guards.
* In the ''Comicbook/SpiderMan'' "Comicbook/MaximumCarnage" storyline Cletus Cassidy was being transported via the chained-to-hand-cart method. Unfortunately for the guards his [[TheSymbiote symbiote]] has gotten into his bloodstream, so when a doctor took a blood sample from him, the open wound allowed him to transform back into Carnage.
* In ''ComicBook/TheIntimates'', Sykes is transported to a government research lab with his hands and feet bound to a wheelchair. Sykes exists in a state of near-total catatonia, incapable of speech or anything but the simplest physical action, but his handlers didn't want to get caught with their pants down in case he suddenly developed the ability to try something.
* In several issues of ''Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}'', Bullseye is shown being transported in this fashion, with his hands bound to the point that he couldn't grab anything if he wanted to, and his feet bound so close that he can barely walk. Later issues (after he'd demonstrated he retained the ability to kill guards even bound up like that) showed him with bound hands, feet, a muzzle over his face, and tightly bound to a furniture mover's hand cart.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Copperhead}}'' Zolo's gang kidnaps Boo and handcuffs him. He escapes in a matter of hours and starts killing his captors. When they recapture him he's bound with chains and stuffed into tiny seating flanked by guards with no range of movement.

* ''Series/Daredevil2015''. [[Franchise/ThePunisher Frank Castle]] is transported this way to the courtroom. Even when he's in hospital there are excessive precautions--an entire floor of the hospital is blocked off for him, guarded by ESU officers with carbines, bags have to be searched twice to be absolutely certain no one's smuggling in a weapon, and there's a "do not cross" line around his bed marked with red tape, to which bed Castle is both strapped and shackled.
