History Main / ConveyorBeltODoom

* The landfill near the end of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3''. The characters are shoved into one conveyor belt leading to a shredder; they escape as a magnetic strip sorts metal out onto a second conveyor ... only to [[OhCrap subsequently realize]] ''it'' leads [[HopeSpot straight to an incinerator]].

* In ''HellboyII: the Golden Army'', the eponymous demon hero does this to a villain (sort of)- he goads the enormous troll into firing his spring-loaded, retractable fist at him and ducks- while standing in front of an enormous pair of spiky wheels.

* In Robo's sidequest in ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', a room in a BadFuture's factory sports a conveyor belt where live humans are transported and (with a [[HellIsThatNoise blood-curling scream]]) transformed into... small, shiny stuff.The whole point of the quest is to stop everything.

** Interestingly, in the original book, they ''did'' use a buzzsaw. And Bond faints before being spared by the villain.

** Parodied in ''AustinPowers in Goldmember'', where Austin's father is strapped to a conveyor belt-esque contraption that would eventually pour liquid gold over his genitals.

-> "Your fahzha is going to have an unfortunate shmelting accident!"
->-- Goldmember, ''AustinPowers''

* In one of the film's most famous scenes, the eponymous villain of ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'' straps JamesBond to a table and uses an industrial laser in place of the traditional sawblade; here, it is the peril that inexorably advances toward the hero, rather than the other way around (compare ChainedToARock). Bonus points because of ''[[GroinAttack where]]'' on Bond the laser is headed.

* Another Film/JamesBond example is the conveyor belt in ''Film/LicenceToKill'', leading to a crusher crushing blocks of cocaine.
** Also in ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'', as Bond is knocked out, placed in a coffin, and conveyed into an incinerator at a Vegas-style funeral parlor.

* ''InLikeFlint''. Derek Flint falls onto a conveyor belt and is almost carried to his doom inside a document furnace. Later, a man falls from a height onto the belt and suffers that fate.

* Farmhands somehow fail to notice that they're feeding BusterKeaton into a threshing machine in ''TheScarecrow''.

-> Your fahzha is going to have an unfortunate shmelting accident!

-> You, my metal friend, will have the honor of becoming 174 Slurm cans!
->-- The Slurm Queen to Bender, ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''

* The late-entry AIP beach movie ''HowToStuffAWildBikini'' leads up to a melodrama sawmill setting, and perpetual biker-shnook Eric Von Zipper gets comically sawn in half, with bloodless, cheap effects photography.

* ''{{Knightmare}}'' had one of these in the form of the "Corridor of Blades", a conveyor-floored hallway with large rotary saws toward which the dungeoneer hurtled. It picked off many hapless dungeoneers who were poorly guided through, or into, it.

* In ''ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'', the gang tries to film a fake a news story in which they rescue kittens. One of their attempts has them try to construct a conveyor belt that leads to Charlie chopping enthusiastically with a butcher knife. After trying it out with a stuffed animal, the gang realize that it's too obvious that they're the ones imperiling the kittens in the first place.

** Parodied in ''Portal 2'', where one of last traps is a conveyor belt into a grind and you escape by ''[[MundaneSolution jumping off it]]'' onto a ledge on the thing's side. It's so pathetic that [[spoiler:Wheatley]] will instead say it's more of a death ''option'' than a deathtrap and will actually be quite surprised if it kills you.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents'' episode "The Good Ol' Days", Vicky kidnaps Timmy's grandfather and [[ChainedToTheRailroad attempts to tie him to the railroad tracks]], only to find it crowded so she opts for this at the sawmill. Seeing how slow the conveyor moved, she realizes why the mill was up for grabs.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'', the Master is caught in the conveyor belt of a junkyard trash compactor, [[spoiler:leading Toaster to do a HeroicSacrifice to save him.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'', the episode "Home is Where the Spark Is" has Bulkhead on a conveyor belt that brings him towards a large machine that would crush his head(he wrestles with it to keep it from getting him during most of this part).

* In the ''AmericanDad'' episode "Black Eyes Only", Stan is tied to one by the Black Villain (yes, that's his name) and slowly fed into an incinerator. He escapes by [[spoiler:getting Sexpun's evil clone to suck on his feet, causing her to do a HeelFaceTurn and free him.]]

* The original ''HalfLife'' has a section where Gordon has to cross over a bunch of conveyor belts to get through a section, in which some are going one way and others are going another way. and they basically create a long obstacle course, if you stay on one of them long enough you end up back where you started. This is in addition to a conveyor belt he has to use in an entirely separate part of the game to get through a crushing piston.

* In the ''NewTricks'' episode "Dark Chocolate", Gerry is almost dragged into a chopping machine when his jacket gets snagged on a conveyor belt in a chocolate factory.

* Titular beast in ''{{Razorback}}'' meets its demise during the climax inside a pet food factory when the hero tricks it into a conveyor belt, leading to a giant fan that shreds it to mincemeat.
* In the film ''{{Mannequin}}'', the protagonist's nasty, jealous ex-girlfriend puts several mannequins on a conveyor belt, including the hero's lover, hoping to destroy them. Luckily, he is able to save her in time.

* In "The Pearl" in ''JonahHex'' v.1, #64, Jonah and the GirlOfTheWeek are tied up and dropped on a conveyor belt leading into a copper smelter.

** Also parodied in ''CarryOn Spying''.

** This scene is played with in [[http://www.xkcd.net/123/ this]] ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' comic

*** And in [[http://qntm.org/files/stickmanstickman/comics.php?n=319 this StickManStickMan comic strip]] as well.

* Wildly twisted in ''VideoGame/GodOfWar 2'': You can't get to the next area because there is a large crushing wheel blocking your way that is right in front of a ConveyorBeltODoom that constantly tries to make you hit the damn thing. The solution? You find a half-dead member of Jason's Argonauts, bring him to the belt, lay him on it, and then watch as he screams in horror and is carried under the wheel where his crushed bones jam it, allowing you to break it and pass through.

* In ''VideoGame/TheAdventuresOfRadGravity'', Rad's RobotBuddy Kakos is captured and taken to the planet Effluvia, where the bad guys plan to convert him into a KillerRobot. At the end of the level, he is placed on a ConveyorBeltODoom headed towards the conversion machine, and to stop it, you must shoot the overhead machinery. If Rad fails, he is faced with a HopelessBossFight and must hit the ResetButton.

* In the Franchise/WallaceAndGromit animated short ''WesternAnimation/ACloseShave'', Gromit fights robo-dog Preston on the ConveyorBeltODoom of a dog-food machine.

* An interesting subversion in ''ReBoot'' occurs where Enzo has himself tied up and put on one of these devices on purpose. The intent was to get his quarreling friends to rescue him, and reconcile with each other in the process. This fails when the two start arguing again when they meet each other in front of the ConveyorBeltODoom, and Enzo has to be rescued by his dog.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', Fry has to choose between saving Bender, who is tied to the ConveyorBeltODoom (which will turn him into Slurm cans), saving Leela, who is being dunked in a [[SharkPool slurm-filled pit]] (which will turn her into a Slurm Queen), or drinking from a trough of delicious concentrated Slurm. He chooses the Slurm, of course. However, [[spoiler:he [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome saves Leela by dragging the trough with him, who then saves Bender.]] Hey, he was literally addicted to the stuff.]]
