Everything's Better with Spinning. That's why in any Air-Vent Passageway or air shaft, there will inevitably be one: A giant spinning fan. It usually seems to serve no purpose, other than to convey to the viewer that there is air flow there. Sometimes it will be spinning slowly, casting ominous shadows; often it will be a Deadly Rotary Fan of Doom if a character can come into contact with it. But it will always be there, somewhere. | |

They're in almost every air duct in Half-Life, and some can be lethal. In one section of the level, "Office Complex", if you want some power-ups you have to negotiate around one. When you get to the Blast Pit level, there's a gigantic one in a vertical shaft that, when switched on, will blow you to the top of the shaft. And in an air duct of Nova Prospekt in Half-Life 2, there is a large air duct with a fan you have to figure out how to jam before you can pass. |

A common element in the sewers levels of Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. A few would even be so fast that one has to destroy it by ricocheting a nearby enemy (said enemy respawns after a few seconds for more ammo). | |

Total Recall (1990). These can be found in the Martian colony's walls, where they pull in fresh air from other areas. At one point the Big Bad Cohaagen turns them off in one area in an attempt to suffocate the mutants who support Kuato. | |

Episode 49 of Digimon Adventure opens with a shot of such a fan. At the end of the previous episode, the majority of the cast is falling into something, and we can't tell what. It turns out to be a giant sewer. | |

In Aliens, an giant duct van casts an eerie shadow in the scene where they find Newt in the duct system. In the air shaft in Alien3, signs of the alien are first discovered near a giant fan. |

Completely averted in Metal Gear Solid. Crawling around air ducts is a necessity, and there's not a single fan to be found in any of them. | |
