* In ''Film/DarkStar'', Pinback ends up trapped in an elevator shaft after his [[CoolPet pet alien]] chases him in there and removes the plank used to get out of it. He has to try to stay on a [[ThePrecariousLedge precarious ledge]] and eventually ends up HangingByTheFingers from it. The elevator starts moving up and down the shaft, and this allows him to get into it through a narrow opening in the floor of the car, that he has to remove a metal plate attached with screws to access, all while HangingByTheFingers from the bottom of the car. He eventually gets halfway into the hole and gets stuck, because it is too narrow for all of him to fit through. He tries to reach the elevator buttons, but he can only reach a few of them at the very far end of the button panel. He tries several buttons, and each one causes a silly and unhelpful things to happen, such as playing loud classical music. Finally, one button triggers the announcement, "Good for you! You've decided to clean the elevator!" and announces that the plate holding the hole he is stuck in will explode in a few seconds. This leads to panic, but fortunately the explosion finally enables him to escape the elevator.
