* ''Film/JMenForever''. One of the many deaths of the J-Men, but a montage at the end shows all the resourceful J-Men are NotQuiteDead. In this case he used his revolver to act as a wedge between the advancing SpikesOfDoom and the cage he was in, until the advancing wall broke open the cage and he could escape.

* The ''Film/MysteriousDoctorSatan'' has a DeathTrap like this that he implies is more often used to encourage people to talk, but in "Chapter 11 -- Death Closes In" Dr. Satan has no issue using it for a more lethal purpose when masked superhero The Copperhead falls through the TrapDoor, and we have the expected cliffhanger as the hero is seemingly crushed against the bars of his cell and collapses out of sight. In the next chapter it's revealed The Copperhead collapsed out of relief as the moving wall hadn't got near him. OnceMoreWithClarity we're shown that he held his pistol (with a shiny metal cigarette case as a reflector to aim it) outside the bars of his cell so he could shoot the mechanism controlling the wall. His sidekick then arrives to open the trapdoor and let him out of the cell.
