Film:
* In {{Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentleman}}, Dorian Gray is [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice run through with a sword]] so firmly he ends up pinned to the wall and unable to pull the sword out.  Do to his near {{Complete Immortality}}, this doesn't do anything more than annoy him.  [[spoiler: Until Mina shows him his painting, that is.]]

Webcomic:
* Used in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0477.html this]] strip of ''{{The Order of the Stick}}''.  To stop him from falling, Haley pins Roy to the wall of an earthquake created chasm by shooting an arrow ''[[GroinAttack into his groin]]''.  [[spoiler: Roy's probably happy he was dead for that.]]

Anime/Manga:
* [[EvilIsSexy Lust]] pins Dr. Marcoh to the wall by stabbing one of her fingers through his shoulder in ''{{Manga/Fullmetal Alchemist}}''.

Just a note - when I first saw this, I assumed it meant a character had been pinned to the wall by being shoved up against it and held there by another character.  I like the name of this trope, but perhaps it could have a sister trope of being {{Held Against the Wall}}?
