Narrow escapes make for big thrills, and elusive heroes slipping free of the grasp of doom is a classic. Grabbed by an enemy too powerful to fight, the overmatched hero may need to sacrifice fashion or dignity — possibly even modesty — for survival's sake. When you're snagged by your coattails, remember that it's better to need a new coat than a new incarnation: You can always slip out of your sleeves, and leave your attacker with a secondhand garment as a consolation prize.note The word "escape" literally means this trope; from Vulgar Latin *excappare, literally "get out of one's cape, leave a pursuer with just one's cape". Most commonly, this trope is employed when a hero or intended victim is grabbed by the bad guys, usually by the jacket, sleeve, or cape, and discards or destroys all or part of the outer garment to escape. Footwear can also be shed in self-defense if an attacker is trying to drag the victim off a high perch, or if the subject of this trope is wading through deep mud or quicksand for that matter. If a fleeing character's clothing becomes entangled in briars or barbed wire, baring skin may be their only means to free themselves in time, while providing a handy excuse for Fanservice. Hastily removing a garment because it's on fire, doused in acid, or trapped in the gears of some heavy machine that would otherwise crush the wearer are also variants. Depending on how much the hero or heroine strips off to escape, this trope can be either the opposite of or synonymous with Defeat by Modesty. If discarding one's clothes isn't enough to win freedom, circumstances like these may force a Life-or-Limb Decision. Sometimes combined with the Ninja Log trick, Ankle Drag, Cape Snag, Pinned to the Wall, or Sticky Situation. See also Losing a Shoe in the Struggle, which may occur unintentionally. Battle Strip is a deliberate aversion. Not to be confused with discarding one's garment to mislead a pursuer (Outfit Decoy or Throwing the Distraction) or removing a garment to fight someone off with it (Improvised Weapon), as these are used to avoid being grappled in the first place. Contrast with the (ominous) Empty Piles of Clothing, or the (humorous) Right Out of My Clothes. Compare with Stripping Snag, which deals with less deliberate examples of people losing articles of clothing when trying to flee, and with Bedsheet Ladder, where some instances may have the character sacrificing pieces of their clothing to complete the ladder they're using to climb to their escape. Can overlap with Defiant Strip in situations where the person has ended up naked to escape, but doesn't care that they had to sacrifice modesty for freedom. |

Terminator: Terminator Salvation: A Terminator without legs grabs John Connor by the foot as he's trying to crawl away; John ditches his boot to escape, before gunning it down. In Terminator Genisys, some acid drips on Sarah's jacket, forcing her to ditch it. She never bother to grab it back or get another one. |

In Blood Rites, when Murphy crawls on her belly under the infrared laser that's the trigger to a lethal booby trap, her upper body fits underneath it but her buttocks protrude a quarter-inch too high to slip below it safely. Nor is she able to reverse course, as crawling backwards instead of forwards would require lifting her shoulders and elbows high enough to trip the beam. One of her companions has to remove her pants to allow her to fit her rear end through the gap. | |

Ranma ½: During Ranma's first duel with Mousse, the latter has the former completely entangled in ropes, chains, and yo-yos. This is when Ranma, as a ploy to pass off his (mode locked) girl form as a magic trick, blows up "his" entire costume (bindings included) and emerges as a Playboy Bunny. Happens again in the anime when Mousse and RyÅ�ga are (failing at) double teaming Ranma. Mousse trips Ranma's curse and pins her to a tree with knives. Ranma slips out of her shirt, and RyÅ�ga suffers an inverted Defeat by Modesty, begging Ranma to Please Put Some Clothes On before he resumes the fight. She doesn't. During Akane's battle with Mariko, the former is encumbered by a full suit of Kendo armor (sans faceguard). When Kuno embraces her, inadvertently pinning her arms, Mariko takes the chance to dive in to smash her in the head with a baton — but Akane slips out of the armor at the last second, leaving Mariko to strike the empty suit. |

In Bone #37, Phoney panics and runs from the Old Man's Cave leaving his infamous star T-shirt behind, because the Hooded One and the Rat Creatures want "the one who bears the star" and the villagers want to kill him for the same reason. Ingenuously, Phoney thinks that everyone would be safe if he wasn't around, but that just makes him get caught by Roque Ja. | |

Happens in the fight between Byakuya Kuchiki and Espada #7 Zommari Rureaux in Bleach episode 196. Rureaux stabs Byakuya, only to discover that he already Flash Stepped out of his captain's cloak and left an afterimage as a diversion, leaving said cloak as the only "casualty". It's especially notable for the fact that Rureaux was attacking from both front and back simultaneously at a very close range via a Doppleganger Attack that caught Byakuya by surprise. | |

Arrow. In "Broken Hearts", Oliver Queen tries to grab Cupid only to find himself holding her gauntlet as she uses a grappling-hook arrow to escape. Felicity Smoak then cuts up the gauntlet and puts it into a gas chromatograph to find out where it was made, giving Team Arrow the location of Cupid's hideout. | |

The Simpsons: Subverted in the "Treehouse of Horror X" segment "Desperately Xeeking Xena". When the Collector (Comic Book Guy) uses a magnet crane to kidnap Lucy Lawless at a comic book convention by snagging the top of her Chainmail Bikini, she at first starts to undo it to escape; then she realizes everyone is watching and are about to take pictures, and changes her mind. Played straight in "The Dad Who Knew Too Little". When Homer refuses to pay the detective he hired to spy on Lisa for information, the detective angrily threatens Homer with a gun while grabbing him by his shirt and demanding a charge of $1,000 with a $40 steak he wanted to eat. Homer then wriggles out of his shirt and jumps out the window to escape, leaving the detective still holding the empty shirt. |

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero: In "Grey Hairs and Growing Pains", Lady Jaye gets turned into a child, and in a fight she's forced to drop her pants because they are now too long to run in (strangely, the two guys who got turned into children didn't have this problem). Afterwards, she uses her now over-sized shirt and jacket like a dress. She gets turned back to normal and awkwardly covers her panties with her hands. In "In the Presence of Mine Enemies", a monster grabs Slipstream's foot, but his boot comes off. Proving that COBRA members aren't always dumb, during the five-part series where Dr. Mindbender created Serpentor, Zarana (that would be Zartan's sister, in case you didn't know) breaks into a tomb to steal the DNA from a mummy, only to fall into a temple trap that grabs her foot with a stone vise, then triggers a Descending Ceiling that threatens to crush her. She eventually slips her foot out of her boot to free herself and escape. |

House of Mouse: Baby Shelby does a variant; he escapes from Donald Duck by unhinging his shell and running about in just his diaper. Sometimes he slips out of that, too. In the Mickey MouseWorks short "Mickey's Mechanical House", Mickey escapes from a robot holding him by escaping though the dropseat in his pajamas. |

Forest Kingdom: In the Hawk & Fisher spinoff series' book 4 (Wolf in the Fold), a spy Hawk is pursuing throws a dagger at the Guard and pins his cloak to the wall. Hawk isn't hurt, but the few seconds it takes him to unfasten the cloak's clasp gives the fleeing spy a head start. Later, the Guard Commander berates him for losing the spy and his cloak, which he'd left behind still pinned to the wall. | |

The Dresden Files: In Fool Moon, the loup-garou pins Harry's duster to the ground with its paws. Harry escapes by abandoning his coat. Also happens to several characters' footwear when they're grabbed by the foot or ankle. Faith Astor loses a shoe to a troll in "A Restoration of Faith", Murphy loses another to the chlorofiend in Summer Knight, and the loup-garou previously ate one of Harry's cowboy boots when it chomped on his foot. In a supernatural variant, Susan attempt to grapple with Ortega in Death Masks, but his ectoplasm-generated flesh mask rips open and he slithers out of it to escape. In Blood Rites, when Murphy crawls on her belly under the infrared laser that's the trigger to a lethal booby trap, her upper body fits underneath it but her buttocks protrude a quarter-inch too high to slip below it safely. Nor is she able to reverse course, as crawling backwards instead of forwards would require lifting her shoulders and elbows high enough to trip the beam. One of her companions has to remove her pants to allow her to fit her rear end through the gap. |

James Bond: In Octopussy, Magda uses a combination of this with Bedsheet Ladder to escape from Bond: she ties one end of the sari she's wearing to a balustrade and jumps off the balcony, "riding" the garment down to safety as it unravels. In A View to a Kill, Stacey Sutton sheds her coveralls to escape from May Day while climbing out of Zorin's mine shaft. In The Living Daylights, Necros grabs hold of Bond's boot while they are fighting on the cargo net dangling out the back of the plane. Bond gets rid of him by cutting the laces on his boot, causing Necros to fall to his death still clutching the boot. In Tomorrow Never Dies, Bond escapes from Stamper just before the missile launches by cutting his way out of his vest, which Stamper is holding him above the water by. |

Gilligan's Island: In the episode "Beauty Is as Beauty Does", the group holds a beauty contest between the three women. During the talent portion Mary Ann is to perform a dance routine, and Mr. Howell tries to sabotage it by pouring glue onto the stage. Mary Ann, of course, steps right in it, becoming instantly stuck and loses her shoe (which is still stuck in place in a later scene). Earlier in the same episode, Gilligan accidentally hooks and reels in a swimming Mary Ann's bathing suit while fishing. |

Also happens to several characters' footwear when they're grabbed by the foot or ankle. Faith Astor loses a shoe to a troll in "A Restoration of Faith", Murphy loses another to the chlorofiend in Summer Knight, and the loup-garou previously ate one of Harry's cowboy boots when it chomped on his foot. | |

Are You Afraid of the Dark?: The show contains a surprisingly tragic example in the Back Story of "The Tale of the Frozen Ghost". A little boy caught his neighbor's farmhand hiding the gold from a bank robbery. He ran, but the robber caught him in the woods. The kid managed to get away when the guy ripped off his coat... and subsequently froze to death that night in the woods. "The Tale of the Unexpected Visitor" contains a more typical version. Two boys are caught by the Monster of the Week in giant spider webs. When the third backs into one, he's able to slip out of his jacket, leaving it stuck to the web. |

Aliens: Ripley tries to haul Newt up by the sleeve of her leather jacket, but since it was Ripley's jacket it's way too big and Newt unintentionally slips right out of it. Hicks must quickly shed his acid-blood-spattered body armor before the corrosive stuff can penetrate to his skin. The Xenomorph Queen tries to pull Ripley into space with her by grabbing onto her leg after the airlock is opened. Ripley shakes it free by slipping loose from her boot. |

Batman: Batman's famous detachable cape clasp, designed to let him quickly shed his cape in situations that require this. Batman: Black and White: Exaggerated (like many other things) in "The Black and White Bandit". When Commissioner Gordon collars the disguised villain, Roscoe Chiara, he shrugs out of his entire costume in a single move, leaving Gordon holding the disguise while Chiara makes a break for it dressed in his normal outfit. During the Joker's Last Laugh crossover event, Robin left behind his cape and tunic in order to get away from Croc. Tim Drake's Robin suit has been extensively designed for his safety in mind. Detaching his cape is actually a normal tactic for Tim, he even modified it so he can send a current through it that will cause the detached cape to wrap itself around whomever is holding it. |

Wild Kratts: Harmless example: When Chris refuses to leave Madagascar without seeing a fossa, the others try to drag him back to the Tortuga by his heels. He unties his bootlace and slips away with just a sock on that foot. In another episode, a gila monster locks its jaws onto the toe of Martin's boot. Koki and Jimmy (who don't realize its jaws failed to penetrate skin) wrap Martin in bandages and haul him off to the Tortuga for an anti-venom injection, leaving the boot behind in the stubborn lizard's mouth. In "Musk Ox Mania", Zack gets menaced by Baby Tooth's pack of Arctic wolves. Aviva suggests that he take off his thick fur coat, which makes him look like a musk ox, the wolves' favorite prey. Zack does so when Baby Tooth gets a grip on his coattails, forfeiting both his coat and the stolen item he'd placed in one of its pockets. |

In an early issue of Excalibur Shadowcat and Phoenix (temporarily de-powered) are bound upside-down, by their legs. Shadowcat shows off her ninja skills (last seen in the Kitty Pryde and Wolverine mini-series) to slip out of her boots and free herself. Phoenix comments that she couldn't do that even if she knew how, since her costume is literally one piece and goes up to her neck. Kitty comments that she could probably still pull it off, if not for embarrassment. | |

The Bible: In the Book of Genesis, Joseph escapes from Potiphar's wife by ripping his own clothes. She later uses the torn garment as evidence to accuse him of rape and to have him imprisoned. Mark 14:51-52 tells of a young man who witnessed the arrest of Christ. They grabbed him, but they caught his garment and he fled naked. Some theorize that the young man was Mark himself (because he's the only one who mentions the incident in his gospel). Suggested with the Seven Sons of Sceva (Acts 19:13-16), who tried casting out demons in the names of Christ and Paul. The Bible describes them fleeing naked and bleeding. |

Spider-Man: Mr. Stone, one half of a B-List merc team, tried to slow down the wall-crawler by using his Swiss-Army Weapon to coat the entire floor in glue so as to give his life-draining partner Mr. Styx a chance to use his touch of death. Spider-man easily leaps out of his boots onto the ceiling. Also, Phil Urich, the only lucid man to take the identity of the Green Goblin, did this the first time he encountered Spider-Man, simply discarding his glove when Spidey snagged it with his webbing. (Clearly, Sanity Has Advantages, even when taking on the identity of a villain who's usually Ax-Crazy.) |

Modern Family: In one episode, Claire and Phil are roleplaying as strangers flirting in public, which ends with Claire undressing in the bathroom to present her dress to Phil, leaving her naked under her trench coat. On the way out of the mall, her coat gets stuck in the escalator. Everyone suggests this trope to her, and she has to come up with excuses not to strip naked. Eventually, Gloria shows up and manages to wrap a second coat around her, allowing her to ditch the first one while maintaining her modesty (apparently, the exact same thing had happened to Gloria previously). | |

The Lost World: Jurassic Park: A velociraptor pounces on Sarah Harding from behind in the worker village, shortly after a scene in which virtually all of the hunters hired by InGen were attacked and killed by raptors. Her lucky pack saves her, though: the raptor only latches onto that and she manages to get away. | |

Tremors 6: A Cold Day in Hell: Defied. When one of Dr. Simms' legs is grabbed by a Graboid's tongue, Travis tells her to unzip her pants, but she point blank refuses because she's been Going Commando underneath her jeans. |

During the "Heroes vs. Villains" season of Survivor, the first challenge pitted Sandra against Sugar trying to wrestle an object from each other. Sugar was almost free with the object when Sandra grabbed her by the top. Given her self-described status as a pinup model, Sugar had no qualms about using this trope to secure the point for her team. note She then gave the editors two more things to blur out. | |

Gyo: In the animated adaptation, Kaori steps onto an empty set of walking-legs, and must slip out of her tennis shoe to free herself from its gripping spines. Erika finds herself rapidly stripped down over the course of one scene, during the first shark's attack. First, she becomes trapped when a shark's metal legs pierce her skirt to the floor, and gets ripped out of it when Kaori pulls her free. Immediately after that, Aki panics and grabs her leg, causing her to kick Aki in the face until her stocking comes off. Finally, immediately after that, her top falls off as she runs for cover, leaving her in her underwear. |

Stewie is put in a foster home after Meg lies her way into a waitress job by saying that she's an unwed mother with a crack-addict baby (Stewie) and Stewie becomes addicted to pancakes, which plays off as an actual drug addiction. When Peter tries to take him back, the foster parents point a gun at him, and he shields himself with Stewie. Stewie tells them, "Don't shoot!", then takes off his overalls, leaving them in Peter's hands. He then runs away and says, "Now shoot!". | |
