16 | |
17 | [[folder:Anime and Manga]] |
18 | * ''Anime/MetalArmorDragonar'' has two episodes focused on one [[DrillSergeantNasty Lt.]] [[PunchClockVillain Chekov]], and he has a rather large gun always on him. |
19 | * Subverted in ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi''. There's a gun, but it clearly belongs to Mana. |
20 | * ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' {{deconstruct|ion}}s this. [[Administrivia/NotADeconstruction Not]]. This trope was deconstructed when thousands of Chekovs worldwide turned into tang, but their guns did not. |
21 | * In volume 2 of ''Manga/StarTrekTheManga'', Chekov appears and fires the ''Enterprise'''s [[WaveMotionGun orbital phaser]] multiple times. |
22 | [[/folder]] |
23 | |
24 | [[folder:Fanfiction]] |
25 | * In the second chapter of ''Fanfic/PavelChekov'' (to be found [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7991127/1/Pavel-Chekov here]]), the gun is described. It is then almost used, but Chekov is told to hold his fire by the captain. |
26 | [[/folder]] |
27 | |
28 | [[folder:Film]] |
29 | * ''Franchise/StarTrek'' itself: |
30 | ** In ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'', Chekov points his gun at Kirk, but resists the orders of Khan. He screams, clutches his ear and collapses. |
31 | ** In ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome'', Chekov attempted to escape from captivity by threatening to use his gun (see pagequote). However, it misfired and he was forced to flee after [[ThrowAwayGuns throwing the useless gun]] at one of his captors. |
32 | ** Averted in [[Film/StarTrek2009 the reboot film]]. |
33 | * Played with in ''Film/TerminatorSalvation'', where Anton Yelchin has a gun. |
34 | [[/folder]] |
35 | |
36 | [[folder:Literature]] |
37 | * Parodied and subverted in the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' series. We think. In fact, it's so subverted that one would think it wasn't there at all. [[TheStinger But we know better, don't we?]] |
38 | * Subverted in the ''Star Trek'' novel "Literature/TraitorWinds," as Chekov's gun is revealed to be a non-functioning phaser used for practice. However, it also serves as a ChekhovsGun for the climax of the story. |
39 | * [[JustForFun/TheZerothLawOfTropeExamples Done first]] by Creator/WilliamShakespeare. |
40 | [[/folder]] |
41 | |
42 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
43 | * [[Administrivia/NotASubversion Subverted]] in ''Series/BabylonFive'', where it is actually ''Alfred Bester's'' Gun, and was a PPG (Phased Plasma Gun) rather than a phaser. |
44 | * Averted in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. |
45 | * Implied in ''Series/StargateSG1'' where Colonel Chekov obviously used a gun in the backstory, but did not actually use one in the actual series. |
46 | * ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' has one noteworthy example of Chekov's Gun, carried by Ensign Pavel Chekov for the majority of episodes in which he appeared. It rarely had any effect on the surrounding plot. |
47 | ** His gun reappears in ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'''s "Trials and Tribble-ations", which used archive footage of a TOS episode. |
48 | ** Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries''; since the rest of the regular cast from the original series appears in animated form, one might expect Chekov and his phaser to appear as well, but they do not. |
49 | ** Averted in ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', where there are phaser guns, but none of them are owned by Chekov. |
50 | ** Played with in "Spectre Of The Gun," wherein Chekov carries a revolver, rather than a phaser. |
51 | [[/folder]] |
52 | |
53 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
54 | * Narrowly averted by ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}''. Captain Che'''n'''kov's gun is just an [[HandCannon ordinary bolt pistol]]. |
55 | [[/folder]] |
56 | |
57 | [[folder:[=TVTropes=]]] |
58 | * Subverted with the trope ChekhovsGun. |
59 | [[/folder]] |
60 | |
61 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
62 | * Chekov's gun makes a cameo appearance in a ''VideoGame/StarTrekStarfleetAcademy'' {{cutscene}}. |
63 | [[/folder]] |
64 | |
65 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
66 | * Referenced in [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/planetofhats/episodes/0038.html this]] strip of ''Webcomic/PlanetOfHats'' - and completely ignored by the other characters. |
67 | [[/folder]] |
68 | |
69 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
70 | * Averted in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' |
71 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' featured Chekov (well, the actor playing him) and his gun in "Where No Fan Has Gone Before". |
72 | [[/folder]] |
73 | |
74 | [[folder:Real Life]] |
75 | * Inverted (albeit with incorrect spelling on both halves) by Swedish Actress [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunn_Wållgren Gunn Wållgren]]. Gunn's Chekhov character interpretations are considered to be unbeaten. |
