Not to be confused with Inconveniently-Placed Conveyor Belt, a common hazard in video games.
The main character(s) have become trapped on a conveyor belt (mining ore cart, log in a flume, or any other mechanized delivery system) responsible for shuttling them into a large blast furnace or incinerator, crusher or grinder, large rotary saw blade(s) or anything else that will give them a quick and painful end.
Sometimes this is done purposely by the villain (like tying the Damsel in Distress to railroad tracks) as part of (or in place of) a Death Trap, or as a method of interrogation (as an alternative to physical torture). Thus, often a part of Lumber Mill Mayhem. Or the heroes may wind up in such predicament by more or less coincidence but still have to find a way to escape whatever machines whose job of processing and/or assembling raw materials is invariably lethal to their soft warm bodies.
Commonly seen in large mechanized factories, mills, mines, research labs — or any place with No OSHA Compliance. This may also provide the reason why the heroes always end up trying to run against the direction of the conveyor instead of, say, trying to leap off the side — it may be 1-Dimensional Thinking on the part of the writer, or perhaps the conveyor belt is situated high up where there really is nowhere else to jump to.
If the hero wasn't deliberately tied or trapped on this conveyor by a villain, expect them to trip over something, or get an arm or leg snagged underneath whatever debris or items normally travel the belt, just to up the tension. Likewise, if there are any Mooks trapped on the conveyor with the hero, expect them to be the first ones meeting whatever doom awaits at the downstream end. Depending on the length and path of the belt, sometimes the ultimate fate of the conveyor belt is unknown at first, giving everyone a moment to look up in shock once they realize exactly what they're being drawn towards.
Playing Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" in the background during such a sequence is purely optional.
Originated as a standard Cliffhanger scenario in 19th-century melodramas and the silent matinee film serials that followed them, such as The Perils of Pauline (and echoed repeatedly on The Perils of Penelope Pitstop). Probably a Dead Horse Trope, at least in the dramatic sense. But then, it wasn't too bad in Enemy Mine.
Compare the comedy Sister Tropes Assembly Line Fast-Forward, which involves the characters working at a conveyer belt, and Packed Hero, where the machinery stuffs the hero into a container.

John in the warehouse scene from The Delinquent ends up getting his hands bolted to a huge log on a conveyer belt, where one of the villain's henchmen, Little Cripple, then activates in an attempt to slice John into two. John barely managed to escape by using his hands to hoist the entirety of his body upwards, resulting in the sawblade passing dangerously close to his guts and only slicing up the tip of his tie.

In It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, 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 realizes that it's too obvious that they're the ones imperiling the kittens in the first place.

The Simpsons:
Parodied in an Itchy and Scratchy cartoon. Itchy ties Scratchy to a log and sets it on a conveyor belt to a buzzsaw, but the conveyor belt is ridiculously slow. Frustrated with how long it's taking, Itchy simply gets an ax and butchers Scratchy himself.
Also, in a segment of "Treehouse of Horror XXIV" in which Bart and Lisa's heads are attached to the same body, Bart tries to gain full control by having a buzzsaw cut off the Lisa head. Needless to say, it doesn't work out as he hoped.
Goldfinger is parodied in "You Only Move Twice" with James Bont instead of James Bond to avoid problems.
In "Funeral for a Fiend", Sideshow Bob traps Bart in a coffin on a belt slowly being fed to an incinerator. When the rest of the Simpsons arrive to stop him, he turns up the speed from "Gloating Speed" to "Kill Him Already".

Underdog has been in this situation three times, and Sweet Polly was in the same mess each time:
In episode "Batty Man", Underdog and Polly are chained up and placed on a conveyor belt that goes to a machine that turns anything into bowling balls. Underdog is still able to access his Super Energy Pill, though.
In "Pain Strikes Underdog", the conveyor belt is part of a candle-making machine that the villain Riff-Raff is using to disguise stolen swords as candles; in this case, both victims are bound with the wicks and hardened wax, the wick cutter intended to be used like a guillotine. (It even looks like one.) Unfortunately for Riff-Raff, wax and normal rope can't hold Underdog for long...
In "The Silver Thieves", Underdog's ring has been stolen, he's already nearly powerless because of it, and he and Polly are thrown onto one that leads to a furnace designed to melt down silver. Fortunately, Polly is lucky enough to find the stolen ring there.

In Monsters, Inc., 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 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 Chuck Jones cartoon "Feed the Kitty" wherein bulldog Marc Antony thinks his cute little kitten pal Pussyfoot is receiving the identical treament.)

Half-Life 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.

Mario Party: Island Tour: The minigame Hop Till You Drop has the characters hop between many boxes and objects that are being transported to the left by a gigantic conveyor belt. The characters have to keep moving to avoid staying behind, as the left side leads to a pit. And because the transported objects are big, falling onto the conveyor will make it impossible for the affected character to climb back, so they'll be doomed to get dragged into the pit. Further complicating matters is that some objects have on their tops rotating cylinders that also act as conveyors.

The page image comes from an episode of Dudley Do-Right. It's worth noting that between Nell having to have a postman deliver her request for help to Dudley, Dudley riding to Snidely's sawmill to get Nell to stamp the letter before riding back to base to open it, Inspector Fenwick taking an hour and a half to give Dudley coherent orders to save his daughter, and Dudley riding back to the mill to save the day, the only reason Nell didn't end up in pieces was because the sawmill was badly in need of maintenance.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit contains elements of this trope along with Chained to a Rock 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.

Mario Party:
Mario Party 3: In the minigame Treadmill Grill, the four players are placed in an area made of four conveyor belts, each moving at a different rate and direction, and all surrounded by blue Hot Feet which move around them; the players have to hit each other to make them fall down into the flames. As the minigame progresses, some of the Hot Feet will turn orange and creep into the conveyor belts, and eventually the conveyor belts themselves will shrink, making things more difficult for the surviving characters. The last player remaining wins.
Mario Party 7: The minigame Track & Yield pits all four players in a large conveyor belt (each of them in a specific color-coded stripe: red, blue, green, yellow) that is dragging them into a dumpster pit. The player's objective is to run forward to prevent that, but they must also avoid the incoming electric fences, as touching them will stun them and potentially make them fall down before they can react. The conveyor belt also moves faster as time passes. The last player remaining is the victor, though more than one can win if they resist during 30 seconds; conversely, if the last players fall down at the same time, the minigame ends in a tie.
Mario Party DS: The minigame Fast Food Frenzy has three characters trying not to get dragged by a fast food shop's conveyor belt into another which will take them away from the area. The fourth player drags multiple fast food products (such as burgers, hot dogs, French fries, shake mills, dishes with waffles, and ice cream bowls) ir order to obstruct the rivals and potentially drive them away into their defeat. The solo player wins if they succeed in their objective, while the trio wins if at least one of them manages to resist during 30 seconds.
Mario Party: Island Tour: The minigame Hop Till You Drop has the characters hop between many boxes and objects that are being transported to the left by a gigantic conveyor belt. The characters have to keep moving to avoid staying behind, as the left side leads to a pit.

E.B. from Hop gets immobilized and placed on a conveyor in the Easter Bunny's candy factory. The conveyor leads to robotic circular saws that cut large hunks of milk chocolate into manageable pieces. E.B. is able to wriggle and dodge around this mechanized Death Trap so well that his outfit remains intact while his bonds were eliminated.

James Bond:
In one of the film's most famous scenes, the eponymous villain of Goldfinger straps James Bond 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 Chained to a Rock). Bonus points because of where on Bond the laser is headed.
Also in Diamonds Are Forever, as Bond is knocked out, placed in a coffin, and conveyed into an incinerator at a Vegas-style funeral parlor.
Another example is the conveyor belt in Licence to Kill, leading to a crusher crushing blocks of cocaine.

Pac-Man Party has a mini-game called Crazy Conveyor, where the players are placed on a conveyor belt headed straight into a trash compactor. The players must run away from the compactor as long as they can, but the conveyor belt moves all kinds of junk toward the compactor that the players must jump over. The game ends once all but one of the players have fallen into the compactor.

Mario Party 3: In the minigame Treadmill Grill, the four players are placed in an area made of four conveyor belts, each moving at a different rate and direction, and all surrounded by blue Hot Feet which move around them; the players have to hit each other to make them fall down into the flames. As the minigame progresses, some of the Hot Feet will turn orange and creep into the conveyor belts, and eventually the conveyor belts themselves will shrink, making things more difficult for the surviving characters. The last player remaining wins.

Mario Party 7: The minigame Track & Yield pits all four players in a large conveyor belt (each of them in a specific color-coded stripe: red, blue, green, yellow) that is dragging them into a dumpster pit. The player's objective is to run forward to prevent that, but they must also avoid the incoming electric fences, as touching them will stun them and potentially make them fall down before they can react. The conveyor belt also moves faster as time passes. The last player remaining is the victor, though more than one can win if they resist during 30 seconds; conversely, if the last players fall down at the same time, the minigame ends in a tie.

Superman: The Animated Series: In "My Girl", Lana Lang got caught snooping on an illicit arms deal, and ended up in a hopper that was about to be filled with molten lead. The villain pointed out that the lead fumes insured that nobody else would be on the grounds and that Superman couldn't see into the building. Fortunately for Lana, Supes could hear the villain just fine.

In Minority Report, the main character, John Anderton, finds himself on a conveyor belt on which machines are building cars and fights his enemy on it. He manages to avoid the machines for a while but in the end, finds himself trapped in a car that's being built right around him. At a certain point, we see a machine close in on him, then the camera cuts on the outside of the car, leaving the audience to think he has been squashed flat. Instead, as the car is completed we see he is right in it, and as it exits the factory he drives away from his pursuers.

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters: In "The Tree of Ickis", Ickis turns into a tree after he eats an acorn. Oblina and Krumm leave him in the forest while they look for a cure, and eventually find one in the form of termites. However, it's complicated when the two find that Ickis has been chopped down by a lumberjack and taken to the sawmill, where the harvested trees are turned into baseball bats. Fortunately, the termites manage to turn Ickis back to normal just mere seconds before the buzzsaw could slice him.

In Mortal Kombat 9, Kung Lao's "Razor's Edge" Fatality creates a facsimile of the rotary blade version of this Trope even without an actual conveyor belt. After kicking his opponent to the ground, he throws his hat on the ground, turning it into a buzzsaw which he drags his opponent through, groin first, cutting them in half. (Ed Boon himself has admitted that this was brutal even for this game, saying that it was "probably the most painful-looking Fatality ever made." This sentiment is shared by many critics, including Cheat Code Central's Shelby Reiches, who included it among the four worst cinematic scenes in games, commenting: "Every time he does this to a male fighter, I can hardly watch. I try not to fight against Kung Lao anymore."

Mega Man (Ruby-Spears):
The episode "Curse of the Lion Men" had a scene where Wily trapped Mega Man and Rush in a buster-proof net and let them on a conveyor towards blades for slicing fish. Mega Man uses a saw blade to cut the net open and escape.
In "Campus Commandos", Mega Man and Roll were tied up in a clock tower and left to be crushed by the gears inside. Mega Man takes advantage of his damaged buster and uses its sparks to sever his bindings.

Toy Story:
In Toy Story 2, while trying to rescue Woody from being shipped to Tokyo, the characters wind up in the airport's automated luggage processing center — a maze of conveyor belts and parcels, but (fortunately) none of it lethal.
A much more terrifying version: the landfill near the end of Toy Story 3. 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 subsequently realize it leads straight to an incinerator.

Arguably the most horrific example occurs in the second book of Michael Vey; when Dr. Hatch shows off his giant rat-powered electricity generator to his electric children, he makes special note of the bowl's feeding conveyor belt. He puts Elgen guards who have failed him onto the conveyor belt to be fed to the rats. The process is horrific, as Taylor and the captured Electroclan can vouch for during Book 7; Hatch claims that the rats will jump like piranhas onto their next victim, so one doesn't even have to reach the end to die or see themselves disemboweled. And he keeps finding ways to make the process even more painful. Michael Vey is sent into the bowl during Book 2, but he survives because the electricity generated by it gives him a giant boost in power; he incinerates the rats and frees himself.

The conveyor belt featured in Cat Hairballs becomes one of these. Its actual purpose was to collect Stimpy's hwarfed up hairballs and roll them down the line for Ren to stamp for quality. However, after running out of stuff to hwarf, and becoming completely stripped clean, Stimpy tries one more time to hwarf anything up and falls onto the conveyor belt which causes Stimpy to be rolled over to Ren and stamped so hard on the butt that it leaves the words "Grade A" written across the cheeks.

Kirby: Right Back at Ya! features this trope in a more classic fashion. In Episode 61 of the anime, there is a short scene in which Kirby is forced to run on a conveyor belt to avoid being speared by a plate of rotating spikes at the end of it in a part of a crazy exercise regime.

In one of the film's most famous scenes, the eponymous villain of Goldfinger straps James Bond 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 Chained to a Rock). Bonus points because of where on Bond the laser is headed.

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 Conveyor Belt-O-Doom, and Enzo has to be rescued by his dog.

One of these was set up by cliché devotee Señor Senior, Sr., on Kim Possible. At the end was a stolen cryogenic freezing device. As a keen observer of villain codes, he points out the power switch to them. But they can't reach it, and Rufus the naked mole rat doesn't weigh enough to push it, until he eats all the leftover corndogs in Ron's pocket.

In the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Almost Got 'Im", the deathtrap is neatly subverted, as Catwoman is carried to her doom while Batman has captured Harley Quinn, who tells him that he has to choose whether to keep her or save Catwoman. As it turns out, all Batman has to do is reach for the conveniently placed power switch to turn off the conveyor belt.

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 (including the first dungeoneer who encountered it).

One particularly nasty moment of Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth has Jack, the protagonist, walk to an ore grinder and suddenly have a vision of a man who is bound and carried by the conveyor and then dumped into the same grinder. A second later, the poor fellow's mutilated remains rain onto Jack. Furthermore, after getting upstairs, Jack discovers that the only way out is up the same conveyor. Naturally, the villain activates the conveyor again, and Jack survives only by jumping onto the catwalk over the grinder, which breaks and blocks the cogs. The whole episode is pretty nightmarish.

Robots:
Fender is placed on one and is able to escape before getting chopped to pieces and thrown into a furnace. However, it's a little embarrassing when he loses his original bottom half and has to do with one more suited for a female.
Bigweld is also put on a conveyor but is saved before getting dumped into the furnace as well.

SheZow had Kelly Hamdon, who is being tied up to a log by a villain, and placed on a conveyor belt heading towards a rocket ship, about to plunge into the sun. If it weren't for her big brother, Kelly could have been french fried (YUM!) or sunburned (THAT REALLY DOES HURT!). As the rocket ship (containing Kelly) goes into the sun, the superhero(ine) uses a space pod which in turn is attached to the ship's hull and rescue his big sister from plunging into the sun, much to his dismay. While the rocket ship is heading towards the sun (with the space pod attached), Maz used a space shuttle (and some rope) to pull the rocket ship away from the sun and back towards earth.

The Black Hole, though rather than a belt it's more a rotary device that carries the victims underneath some kind of lobotomizing laser. After discovering the crew of the USS Cygnus have been turned into robotic drones, one character is taken away to be turned into one also, with the requisite Just in Time rescue.

Cow and Chicken:
In the episode "Part-time Job", the Red Guy sends Chicken on a conveyor belt to a frying machine, but Super-Cow saves him in time.
In "The Loneliest Cow", the Red Guy does this to himself. When a jealous Chicken calls for a tree Cow befriended to be removed, he goes to the sawmill to try to get it back to make his lonely sister feel better, but when the Red Guy intervenes, he tells him if he's trying to steal the tree, he's doing it all wrong: he has to tie himself to the tree. The Red Guy does just that, and as a result, gets turned into lumber.

A variation occurs in The Saga of Swamp Thing Vol. 1 #4 when a possessed man hangs Swamp Thing on a meat hook on a stationary conveyor belt leading to a freezer. Swamp Thing tricks the demon into possessing him instead and then starts the belt. While he can survive the cold for a short time, the demon can't.

Metal Gear: Ghost Babel for the Game Boy had a variant on this, except it was the player who got the pain. In what is probably the otherwise great game's "That One Level", legendary badass Solid Snake must infiltrate the enemy base, by going through a color-coded box sorting system via conveyor belt. It eventually leads into a showdown with Marionette Owl, part of the Quirky Miniboss Squad.

In Futurama, Fry has to choose between saving Bender, who is tied to the Conveyor Belt-O-Doom (which will turn him into Slurm cans), saving Leela, who is being dunked in a 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, he saves Leela by dragging the trough with him, who then saves Bender. Hey, he was literally addicted to the stuff.

Scooby-Doo:
In "Don't Fool with a Phantom", the last episode of the original Scooby-Doo series, the Wax Phantom (the Monster of the Week) left Shaggy and Scooby tied up on a conveyor belt that would dump them into a tank of melted wax, and Shaggy quipped, "That bit went out with the silent movies!" You know it's a Dead Horse Trope when it's being parodied in the early 1970s.
Not that this stopped the titular Snow Ghost from chaining Velma to a log and sending it towards a buzzsaw in an earlier episode...
In Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo, the series premiere, "The Scarab Lives!" had Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy, after splitting up from the rest of the group, get trapped on a conveyor belt that would have sliced them to pieces had it not been for a last minute burst of adrenaline on Scooby's part.
In The Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo Show episode "A Gem of a Case", the sawmill variant is used against the titular dogs and Shaggy as they trail the diamond thief, Fingers Malone. As Fingers escapes, Scooby manages to stop the belt in time before their log reaches the saw.

In Portal, GLaDOS attempts to kill Chell by tricking her onto a conveyor belt that travels through a furnace. The trap would be extremely difficult to avoid had Chell not had a portal gun, which makes it very simple.
Parodied in Portal 2, where one of the last traps is a conveyor belt into a grinder which you escape by jumping off it onto a ledge on the thing's side—no portals necessary. It's so pathetic that the Big Bad will instead say it's more of a death option than a deathtrap and will actually be quite surprised if it kills you.

The short "The Ducksters" begins with Porky Pig tied on a conveyor belt to a buzzsaw as part of a quiz show hosted by Daffy Duck (he had to answer the question before reaching the saw). In the end, Daffy is on the receiving end of the conveyor belt after Porky buys the radio station with his prize money and turns the tables on him. Daffy apparently doesn't know the answer to his question and instead yells for a doctor.

They turned up a lot on the 16-bit games, where Sonic is on a conveyor belt and has to be really quick to avoid being crushed by something or cut with descending buzzsaws.
The boss of Gene Gadget Zone in Sonic 3D Blast takes place on one of these, with a large row of spikes at the end of the conveyor belt. The player must hit Eggman's ship, avoiding spike strips and missiles.

In the Ninjago episode "The Surge", Nya, Sensei Wu and a whole mess of schoolkids find themselves on one of these. Context: they were visiting Borg Industries during a field trip to see the factory area. The Digital Overlord takes control of technology while they were on the viewing conveyer belt, causing the manufacturing machines to attack them.

The Myth is another Jackie Chan movie with a conveyor belt o' doom. It's a sticky surface that gets chopped into lengths by blades at the end of the conveyor belt. Jackie and the girl get stuck on it while fighting mooks. In the end, Jackie gets himself and the girl off (with some Clothing Damage)... and then goes back and stops the belt just before the mooks get sliced into pieces.

Subverted in the Tiny Toon Adventures episode "Starting from Scratch": Furball ends up on a conveyor, but when he realizes it ends in a rotary saw, he just turns his back toward it in the hope that it will scratch his back, where he has a flea. A workman shuts it off before it can split him in half.

In Robo's sidequest in Chrono Trigger, a room in a Bad Future's factory sports a conveyor belt where live humans are transported and (with a blood-curling scream) transformed into... small, shiny stuff. The whole point of the quest is to stop everything.
Getting caught in one of these is also revealed to be the reason why Lucca's mother is crippled. Lucca is given a chance to go back in time and prevent it from happening, though.

Doctor Who:
"The Seeds of Doom" featured a man-eating mulching machine and plenty of gory description of what would happen to any living bodies that went through it.
"The Sun Makers" crossed this with Sauna of Death, when Leela is captured and sentenced to death by "steaming".

Subverted in the movie version of Dudley Do-Right, where the eponymous Mountie goes "bad" to fight against Snidely Whiplash, who has taken over the town. He ties one of Snidely's minions to a conveyor belt heading for a sawblade for interrogation. Once he has gleaned the information he needs, Dudley seems to have trouble stopping the conveyor belt — then he breaks apart the sawblade to reveal that the "saw" was just a harmless cardboard prop all along.

In Richie Rich, Professor Keenbean invents a sort of futuristic recycling machine that transforms trash into various objects. Later in the movie, the bad guys try to use the machine to dispose of Richie and his friends, who are forced into its cage-like intake hopper. Thanks to Keenbean's intervention, they barely escape being transformed into bedpans (or possibly bowling balls).

In "Don't Fool with a Phantom", the last episode of the original Scooby-Doo series, the Wax Phantom (the Monster of the Week) left Shaggy and Scooby tied up on a conveyor belt that would dump them into a tank of melted wax, and Shaggy quipped, "That bit went out with the silent movies!" You know it's a Dead Horse Trope when it's being parodied in the early 1970s.
Not that this stopped the titular Snow Ghost from chaining Velma to a log and sending it towards a buzzsaw in an earlier episode...

Looney Tunes:
The short "The Ducksters" begins with Porky Pig tied on a conveyor belt to a buzzsaw as part of a quiz show hosted by Daffy Duck (he had to answer the question before reaching the saw). In the end, Daffy is on the receiving end of the conveyor belt after Porky buys the radio station with his prize money and turns the tables on him. Daffy apparently doesn't know the answer to his question and instead yells for a doctor.
"I Gopher You", the gopher twins chase down their vegetables to a food processing plant. One of them gets caught in a canning machine, and the other in a dehydrating machine, neither ending up the worse for wear. Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" was a dominant leitmotif.

Subverted in Quake IV, where the player gets Strapped to an Operating Table on a conveyor belt, having drugs injected and parts of his body removed and replaced by Strogg cybernetics. The Stroggification is interrupted when the People Jar your character is placed in towards the end is smashed before the control chip can be activated. It's pretty traumatic; you can watch it here! The conversion actually improves your character, including increasing your health by 25%, and giving a noticeable boost to running speed. Sure, his fellows are disturbed and distrustful of the Strogg on their side, but he never complains. And, in the end, it pays.

Mario Party DS: The minigame Fast Food Frenzy has three characters trying not to get dragged by a fast food shop's conveyor belt into another which will take them away from the area. The fourth player drags multiple fast food products (such as burgers, hot dogs, French fries, shake mills, dishes with waffles, and ice cream bowls) ir order to obstruct the rivals and potentially drive them away into their defeat. The solo player wins if they succeed in their objective, while the trio wins if at least one of them manages to resist during 30 seconds.

In Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Gadget is captured and tied to a conveyor belt which is sending her to be chopped up. As she had been pretending to be Chip's moll, the villain, Rat Capone, says he's going to turn her into a "mini-moll". It's only because Monty manages to put his friend's life above his cheese addiction that Gadget is saved.

Alex Rider: Skeleton Key has a scene like this too, where Alex is drugged so he's unable to move except for his head, and put on a literal conveyor belt. The main purpose is to get information out of him, on the threat of being ground to a pulp starting with his feet.

In Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, 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 Sacrificial Lamb is not so lucky.
