* In ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'', Sully ''thinks'' that Boo was trapped on one of these when it was actually just a piece of her monster costume. In a way, this allows the scene to be much ''more'' gruesome than it otherwise would be, judging by [[FaintInShock Sully's reactions]] as he watches the costume-piece go through one crusher and thrasher after another, assuming Boo is in there. (His terrified reactions are an homage to the Creator/ChuckJones cartoon "Feed the Kitty" wherein bulldog Marc Antony thinks his cute little kitten pal Pussyfoot is receiving the identical treament.)

* In ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'', Indy fought a Thuggee guard on a conveyor belt that led to a rock crusher. Things were further complicated by the brainwashed prince stabbing a voodoo doll of Indy just as he gained the advantage in the fight. Indy of course escapes, the guard... doesn't.
** The same film features a cage that is used to lower human sacrifices into a large lava pit. Indy manages to save Willie from a fiery demise in this device, but an unnamed SacrificialLamb is not so lucky.

* ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' contains elements of this trope along with ChainedToARock near the climax of the film, when Roger and Jessica Rabbit are suspended by chains while a nearby contraption spraying The Dip, Judge Doom's weapon of choice, inches ever closer. Notably comparable to Goldfinger, although this plays with the tension by having the stream swung back and forth haphazardly.
** The scene where Judge Doom gets his hand stuck to the steamroller and is slowly crushed contains the inescapability of the trope.
