Tamfang: Starsky and Hutch were locked in a large airtight room. Starsky sat down to try to calculate (thinking aloud) how much time they had, while Hutch wordlessly improvised a battering ram using a wheeled cart and whatever ballast he could load onto it. After Hutch broke open the door, Starsky said, "You know what? I don't think that was an airtight room." I'm not writing this in the real page because I'm not sure it was Starsky & Hutch.

• Articlime: It was.

Kilyle: I'm not sure I got the details right on the Flushed Away example; someone please correct them.

Zordauch: considering this trope's age and prevalence, would it be appropriate to add this to Tropes Of Legend?
