This is a stock type of camera shot that is also popular for posters and cover art. The story typically has death or murder as a central element, but featuring a corpse front and center, especially a very maimed one, prominently on the box art is usually not considered a good way to sell. So a compromise is used, an artfully limp and bloody hand is shown, perhaps holding (or dropping) an important object. Of course, the hand may be separate from the body, or itself badly damaged. Sister Trope to Last Grasp at Life and Hand Sliding Down the Glass, where the focus on the hand is because it's the last part of a falling/drowning person to disappear. Contrast Raised Hand of Survival, where a hand is moving and indicates the character is alive. Subtrope of Gory Discretion Shot. See also Empathy Doll Shot and Dead Man's Trigger Finger. Has nothing to do with a shot of Dead Hand. As a Death Trope, all spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware. |

In issue 234 of Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics), Antoine D'Coolette is heavily injured when Mecha Sonic self-destructs. Sonic says he can get him to a hospital in time, but as he scoops up Antoine and starts running, Antoine's hand falls limply. According to Ian Flynn Antoine was originally intended to have died in that issue, but was saved partly due to fan reaction. | |

Hercules: As soon as Atropos cuts Meg's Thread of Life, we see a close-up of her hand going limp. Earlier in the film, we have an unusual version, where the Hydra's clenched fist going limp is treated dramatically after the monster is crushed by an avalanche caused by Hercules. However it's not in empathy for the monster, it's for Hercules, who was seemingly crushed too, but who actually happens to be held in the fist. |

Near the end of the Jonny Quest: The Real Adventures episode "Undersea Urgency", Jonny and other survivors of a doomed Underwater Base (overrun by CHUD-like creatures awakened by a a seaquake), one of surviving scientists tries to go back for one of the dead creatures (For Science!!). Turns out the creature (and it's inhuman maw full of razor-sharp teeth) is Not Quite Dead. Cue this trope. | |

A variation in Aladdin and the King of Thieves. After Sa'luk ends up getting turned to gold by the Hand of Midas, his golden form falls into the water below and lies still on the bottom, with the last shot of him being his left hand and its tiger claw gauntlet, both of which were now solid gold. | |

In the movie Dead Zone, this is how the death scene of two members of the Quirky Miniboss Squad is handled. Goku uses a Kamehameha to launch Ginger into a building that he earlier knocked Nicky into using his Power Pole. Ginger hits Nicky, Kamehameha and all, and the building explodes. Ginger's twitching hand sticks up from the rubble afterwards before going limp. | |

SWAT Kats used this. In "The Metallikats," gangster Katscratch is blasted by Mac Mange's laser gun, and goes crashing into a pile of crates, which collapse down onto him. We see his burned hand sticking out from under them. Then in "Razor's Edge," some of Dark Kat's ninja Mooks throw a guard into another pile of crates, burying him, and we see his twitching hand fumble for, and press, a silent alarm before he apparently dies or passes out. | |

Fallout One of the very few images of Courier 6 from Fallout: New Vegas is of a very sad-looking hand, poking up out of a shallow grave.◊ It even carries over to his/her Caravan card in the special edition: a gloved hand bursting out of the ground. Fallout had such a shot in the Shady Sands ending if you took too long and the town got destroyed by the mutants. |

Gundam In ∀ Gundam, all that can be seen of Will Game are his hands, limply dangling from the cockpit hatch. When Sochie (in a then-rare moment of humanity towards someone of the Moonrace) says they need to help him, Loran sadly says that "those are nothing but hands anymore." In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, Shinn often has traumatic flashbacks to his sister Mayu's detached hand gripping her pink mobile phone after she and Shinn's parents have been accidentally blown up during a battle. He keeps the phone as a gory Tragic Keepsake. |

Death Note: Villain Protagonist Light Yagami concocts a plan to trick the man tailing him, FBI agent Raye Penbar, into revealing his FBI badge and information so Light can kill him. Using the Death Note, he makes a drug addict and failed bank robber called Kiichiro Osoreda hijack the bus where both Light and Raye are currently on. Then Light tricks Osoreda into picking a piece of the Death Note causing him to be able to see Ryuk. Horrified at the appearance of the shinigami, the hijacker empties his handgun at him to not use, then he makes the bus driver stop the bus and quickly makes for an exit only to get hit and killed by speeding car as soon he gets out of the vehicle. The last we seen of the man is his lifeless hand lying on a large pool of blood. | |

Mad Max: Mad Max. Max forces his way into the hospital room where the Goose lies under an oxygen tent after being burnt alive in his car by Toecutter's gang. Cue the Goose's charred arm falling out from under the tent. Max then pulls back the cover, and only his horrified expression hints at what's under it. Subverted at the end of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. After Max causes a crash, the hand of Ironbar falls out of his vehicle, strokes the woman's dollface on his standard, then turns upwards for a final defiant Flipping the Bird. |

She sighs in relief, only to turn and discover it's just his arm. |

The first Saw film has promotional posters featuring both a severed hand and a severed foot, with corresponding taglines ("Every piece has a puzzle." and "Every puzzle has its pieces."). Later films have posters with similar depictions focused on other body parts, such as two severed fingers for Saw II, three teeth for Saw III, and John's severed head on a pound for Saw IV. Saw VI brings back the severed hands with a leather glove-like stitching. | |

The Prince of Egypt: After Moses accidentally causes an Egyptian slave-driver to fall to his death, there's a brief glimpse of the dead man's arm amid the wreckage of the structure he landed on. During the final plague, as the Angel of Death descends upon Egypt to claim the firstborn, an Egyptian boy is seen carrying a large jug into a building. The Angel, as a swirling light, enters and exits quickly. The sound of breaking earthenware is heard and his arm falls through the doorway indicating his sudden death. |

The Lost World: Jurassic Park: Another very literal interpretation is done with the helmsman of the Venture: all that's found is his severed hand gripping the wheel. On the Venture's deck, a crew member's dead body is signified by his arm sticking out from behind a control panel (which is obscuring the rest of him), holding the remote control for the ship's hold doors in his hand. |

Doctor Who: "Gridlock": In the prologue, as a couple who snuck into the Motorway's fast lane fall victim to the monsters lurking down there, a bloody hand is pressed against the car's windshield. When the Doctor dies permanently in the paralell timeline of "Turn Left", his body is covered with a sheet, but his limp hand falls into view and drops the sonic screwdriver. A gruesome one in "The Caretaker". When the Victim of the Week gets blasted by the Skovox Blitzer, a hand is severed from the arm with charred smoking flesh and bones jutting out. "Heaven Sent" shows a bloody hand fading to ash in the cold open. The same shot is seen multiple times throughout the montage as the Doctor repeatedly goes through the time loop. |

In the climax of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze the turtles are in a fight with Shredder, who had been mutated into a Super Shredder, knocking over everything in his path on a rampage, including the foundation of the pier that they are under. Leonardo even tried to warn him that he would kill them all including himself if he kept it up, but he kept going. Eventually, the pier collapses and the turtles barely escape with their lives. They then see the Shredder's hand emerge from the rubble, as they all groan and prepare for the worst, only for it to then fall limp. | |

In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, Shinn often has traumatic flashbacks to his sister Mayu's detached hand gripping her pink mobile phone after she and Shinn's parents have been accidentally blown up during a battle. He keeps the phone as a gory Tragic Keepsake. | |

The Lost World: Jurassic Park: Another very literal interpretation is done with the helmsman of the Venture: all that's found is his severed hand gripping the wheel. On the Venture's deck, a crew member's dead body is signified by his arm sticking out from behind a control panel (which is obscuring the rest of him), holding the remote control for the ship's hold doors in his hand. |

In Street Fighter Alpha: The Animation, when Shun dies in his "brother" Ryu's arms, right after the kid's last words we see his hand going limp. Similarly, in The King of Fighters: KYO manga, Maki Kagura's bloodied hand is the only thing we see of her after the teen Goenitz kills her in front of her twin sister Chizuru. |

Goblin Slayer provides pretty bloody examples: The Warrior kid rushed to save Wizard from goblins as they are currently stabbing her with a poison knife, and they proceed to dogpile him and hack him to pieces. His arm is seen falling to the ground as he struggles before being cut off. In a flashback, Goblin Slayer's older sister was also killed and eaten by goblins. Her fallen arm was visible, then dragged as easily as if it were dismembered. It actually was. |

In Dragon Ball Z, as Vegeta draws his final breath on Namek, his tear-blurred vision fades from his point of view, and we next see a close-up of his gloved hand falling onto the ground, followed by a shot of his body shivering with his eyes closed before becoming still and lifeless, followed by a gust of wind blowing on his body. In the movie Dead Zone, this is how the death scene of two members of the Quirky Miniboss Squad is handled. Goku uses a Kamehameha to launch Ginger into a building that he earlier knocked Nicky into using his Power Pole. Ginger hits Nicky, Kamehameha and all, and the building explodes. Ginger's twitching hand sticks up from the rubble afterwards before going limp. |

In the Highway to Heaven episode "Keep Smiling," Jane is setting Margaret's hair. As she briefly leaves the room to make tea, Margaret appears to be in some distress. The camera slowly pans down from her troubled face and zooms in on her hand as it falls from the armrest. Jane returns to see that Margaret has suddenly died in her chair, kicking off the plot of the episode. | |
