During The Chase, especially if at a carnival or Amusement Park, the quarry will duck into a funhouse. When the pursuer follows, he will be confronted with a hall of mirrors, dozens of panes of glass — every one of them reflecting an image of his quarry, taunting him. The pursuer has to figure out which is the real one before he escapes. Though it often is so, the hall of mirrors need not be in an actual funhouse, or even in a carnival setting. It can also be used outside a chase scenario, perhaps in its natural setting or even for a generic kaleidoscope effect. And now, Here Comes the Science: Most of the trouble characters encounter in a hall of mirrors results from the mirrors not behaving the way real mirrors do. This is justifiable with mirrors that are magic, possessed, supernatural, or otherwise likely to behave oddly anyway, but it also happens with mirrors that are supposedly ordinary. Frequently, a main character will collide with a mirror, having not realized they were looking at a reflection. In reality, as you approach a mirror, your reflection appears to approach from the other side, which really should be a tipoff. However, when a mirror is reflecting another mirror or two or three, it can create the illusion of there being a place to run to without the viewer's own reflection appearing to tip him or her off. In many real-life hall of mirror setups, however, the mirrored panels also have some clear glass (or clear plastic) panels mixed in just to make things even more confusing, and you can very easily walk into these as well since there is no reflection to warn you. Additionally, mirror halls will often position the mirrors such that a person is always facing them at a 45-degree angle as opposed to head-on, so it takes getting right up to the glass before the reflection becomes obvious. A character who "walks into a mirror" may just be a director misremembering exactly why he mashed his face in that midway ride when he was seven. Occasionally, a character will often see multiple reflections of an object, all of them quite close to the mirror surface, but will not be able to find the object. In reality, if the reflection of the object appears one inch behind the mirror, then the farthest that the real object can possibly be from the surface of the mirror is one inch. Similarly, often the character being chased will show up in every single mirror. Every instance is the exact same as if they were all cameras recording a single feed. Similar to the two previous points, the actual distance the character is away is irrelevant, and the pursuer's reflection never gets in the way. It's also very common to depict a Droste Image, which is easily created with two mirrors reflecting each other (though this is hard to depict in live-action without the camera being in the way). Often these are combined, in which case it starts to seem like the "mirror" is actually just a sheet of glass and the object actually is on the other side (which is almost never the intention — although in real life it may be exactly the case). See also House of Broken Mirrors. |

One episode of Aladdin: The Series had the heroes try to find a certain magic mirror to ward off an obelisk whose shadow destroyed whatever it fell on; they would know it because it reflected one's true self. Aladdin found it when, although he was dressed in his royal garb, it reflected him as a "street rat". | |

The opening events of Us see a young girl drawn to a hall of mirrors. Presumably, the attraction shuts down as the lights go out and she is unable to find the way out, traumatizing her as a child. The girl is actually replaced with her identical clone, switching lives being forced to live underground in a twisted pantomime of their doppelganger's life above ground. | |

An episode of The Simpsons had a corrupt detective being taunted by Homer in a hall of mirrors. In a subversion, the detective manages to shoot the real Homer on the first attempt. Lisa then promptly pulls out a laser pointer and aims it at the nearest reflection, blinding the detective several bounces later. |

Yet another variation takes place in The Shadow when Shiwan Khan has escaped into a storage area full of mirrors. Ultimately, the Shadow uses his powers to shatter the mirrors (rather than his guns). The original plan was to have a more prolonged chase through the hall of mirrors, including flashbacks and banter. However, an earthquake struck before the scene could be filmed, shattering many of the mirrors. Since it would be too expensive to simply replace them, the directors went with a simpler version. | |

Superfriends: One episode has Wonder Woman in a hall of mirrors. The reflections said to her, "You can't run away from yourself!" In "Reflections in Crime", Mirror Master is ironically cornered in one when his equipment is destroyed. In "Bizarro World", Bizarro traps Black Vulcan in one. He smashes every mirror in his path, but it takes him until the end of the episode, when Superman has already defeated Bizarro, to escape. In the very first The All-New Super Friends Hour story, Batman, Robin and Wonder Woman corner a villain in an Amusement Park's hall of mirrors and he gloats that they will never find him amid the reflections. Wonder Woman, who had brought the villain's changing ray machine, begs to differ and shoots it at the mirrors, causing the rays to ricochet throughout the hall and changing him back. |

A variation occurs in X-Men: First Class. During the climax, Shaw uses a specially designed room that blocks him from Charles' telepathy. It just so happens to be a room of mirrors, implying the telepathic version of this trope. When Erik enters the room to confront him, he has no trouble spotting Shaw, nor does Shaw try to use the reflections to hide. Interestingly enough, once the room gets damaged, Charles is able to use his telepathy and help Erik defeat him. | |

The Phantom's torture chamber in The Phantom of the Opera is based around a hall of mirrors. As part of the Direct Line to the Author, the Persian's account carefully explains how this illusion, which the Phantom invented, works, and Leroux adds a footnote to the effect that, while the Persian might have felt the need for this explanation in the 1880s, by the time Leroux published the work in 1910 everyone was familiar with such things. | |

James Bond: The Man with the Golden Gun uses this in the final confrontation between Bond and Scaramanga, and in The Teaser as well. Scaramanga ends up falling for the mirror thing in the finale. Die Another Day referenced this by having Bond walk past a slew of mirrors while searching a clinic for one of the film's bad guys. They bear no significance to the plot, it's just one of the numerous references to past Bond films. Skyfall. The "Bond opening sequence" briefly shows Bond in one, shooting at his own reflections. This foreshadows another character using a mirror to fool a mook so he can be shot. |

Mask (1985) has a rare non-action scene that's also Played for Drama - when Rocky (a teen with CPD - a cranial condition that makes his face deformed) and his mother Rusty go to an amusement park, they go by a funhouse mirror, and the two get to see what Rocky might look like if he looked like a normal kid. | |

In the Goosebumps book "One Day At Horrorland", there is Hall of Mirrors with the slogan "Reflect Before You Enter. No-one May Ever See You Again". The Hall of Mirrors traps the three kids in separate rooms and the walls move in to crush them. At the last second, the floor opens and the kids slide out safely. Oddly enough, mirrors are banned at Horrorland in the spin-off series because they are portals to Panic Park. | |

Played with in an anime episode of Golgo 13. A paparazzi plans to take the ultimate photo of his career — the world's greatest assassin as he takes his shot. He works out where Duke Togo will be shooting from, and to avoid getting shot himself plans to photograph Togo's reflection mirrored in the window glass of the hotel. Togo however sees a glint of light from his camera lens and fires a bullet into the window to smash the reflection, then turns and kills his target. | |

Supermans Girlfriend Lois Lane #5: "The Fattest Girl in Metropolis": Lois Lane had been turned fat in order to keep a criminal from recognizing her but still does her usual duties as a Daily Planet reporter. She is sent to cover the opening of a new amusement park and goes inside the funhouse. At one point she passes a distorted mirror with a reflection that looks like her original thinner physique — unfortunately, the criminal, who had heard a tip that his target had gone to that park but didn't recognize her enlarged form, also sees her reflection at that moment and realizes who the fat woman really is. | |

The mirrors in Full Tilt are arranged in a maze, the challenge being to find the other side. This being the dark-magical sort of amusement park, it's possible to walk through the mirrors, but doing so will distort you to match the twisted reflection therein.

Doctor Who: There's an unexplained hall of mirrors during a chase scene on a moonbase, in episode 3 of the Second Doctor serial "The Seeds of Death" with an Ice Warrior lumbering after our hero. It's reminiscent of an old silent movie, and very tense despite the Warrior's slowness. In "The Five Doctors" the First Doctor tricks a Dalek into firing at his reflection in the mirrored wall of a small room, causing the blast to ricochet around the room and kill the Dalek. |

Used with an extra symbolic twist in Face/Off: as the two main characters find themselves on opposite sides of a double-sided mirror, they point their guns squarely at their own reflections, which (due to the face swap) results in each man seeing the real face of their enemy. Also foreshadowed in an earlier scene, their first meeting after the swap: "it's like looking in a mirror, but... not." | |

In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, Aki and Misty's final showdown takes place in one of these. Also, Misty has a field spell called Mirror Labyrinth, which apparently brings the monster's reflections to life. | |

The first Give Yourself Goosebumps Special Edition, Into the Jaws of Doom, has a difficult Maze of Mirrors on the third floor which the player must navigate in order to obtain an item essential to escape said floor. It is possible to get lost forever in said maze and in one of the bad endings, the player can encounter a whole troop of boy scouts who spent years trying to escape, to no avail. | |

DC Super Hero Girls: After Casey Krinsky swaps bodies with Zee, thereby gaining her powers, Zee hides in a house of mirrors. Not only is Casey unable to find the real Zee, she's forced to face her own reflection which, thanks to her crippling self-loathing, is the last thing she wants to do. | |

Doom has what is called the "Hall of Mirrors effect" which happens when someone uses the noclip cheat code to walk into the walls of a level. It can also happen when a texture for a wall or object is not properly referenced. It looks like part of the screen is shimmering, and everything is leaving behind a trace because the screen buffer is not being cleaned between frames. The Unreal engine also has this effect when the player somehow sees what's outside the level, either by noclipping outside or looking at a piece of surface in the level geometry that has no texture. It can also happen if more than three warpzones are placed in a way that the player can see through all of them at once, like a Matrix-style endlessly looping tunnel: the first three zone portal surfaces properly stay invisible but the fourth and subsequent ones become visible and cause this effect, with mappers having to use fog to hide it. It greatly reduces rendering speed and can even cause the game to crash. | |

In a Cheese Festival episode of Hey Arnold! Arnold tries to pursue his love-interest into the Hall of Mirrors, but he is unable to properly confront her since he is unable to find the real one among the reflections. Helga follows Arnold into the same attraction but is soon surrounded by dozens of Brainys appearing in all the mirrors. However, she easily knocks out the real Brainy who is standing right behind her like he usually is. | |

In the Mighty Mouse short "Beauty on the Beach", Mighty Mouse chases Oil Can Harry into a hall of mirrors, and Oil Can Harry is able to use the mirrors to confuse Mighty Mouse about where he really is, which also allows him to capture Mighty Mouse. | |

In the Family Guy Poltergeist parody episode, Carrot Top leads Peter into one of these, and the latter is too busy watching the reflections to notice a trapdoor which he walks into. This being Family Guy, he escapes via the use of a see-saw. | |

A Pepé Le Pew cartoon in the Alps has him chasing the girl cat into an ice cave - she stops in alarm as she sees hundreds of mirror reflections of herself - as does Pepe, who rhapsodizes "Acres and acres of girls - and all mine!" | |

Star Trek: Voyager had an episode where the ship was in a reflective cave with a hostile vessel. Their solution was to fire a lower-powered phaser which bounced around until it hit the non-reflective enemy ship. | |

A variation occurs to Doctor Doom in one issue of Fantastic Four, in a mirrored chamber for his latest scheme to destroy Reed Richards. He's forced to remove his mask and is confronted by multiple reflections of his ruined face which break his mind (of course, he recovers months later). | |

Another variation in Titan A.E., where Captain Korso follows Cale into an ice field, where his ship's image is being reflected everywhere. Preed thinks he's found the ship several times, only for the reflection to come to an uneven part of the ice, causing it to bend. Like many things in the movie, a rare case of something actually happening correctly. | |

Die Another Day referenced this by having Bond walk past a slew of mirrors while searching a clinic for one of the film's bad guys. They bear no significance to the plot, it's just one of the numerous references to past Bond films. | |
