Monster trying to get its teeth into you? Here's an unusual solution; force the creature's jaws apart until they break. Oddly, this is almost always portrayed as causing instantaneous death (in which case it's usually taken to be a "cooler" version of a Neck Snap), when it should leave them alive but in crotch-stompingly horrible pain. For some reason, reptilian monsters are especially prone to this. Nastier variants include simply tear the jaw off altogether, or push it into the creature/person's head. For a less-brutal way of stopping a creature from biting chunks out of you, see Palate Propping. A Sub-Trope of Attack the Mouth and Facial Horror. This has nothing to do with that giant hard ball of candy, which is sometimes called a gobstopper, though the bigger varieties might break your jaw, not unlike those kids from a certain cul-de-sac that they enjoy.

Bear Trap | |
| Jawbreaker / int_2a9b1de6 | comment |
The "reverse beartrap" in Saw, one of the series' mainstay traps. Unusually for Saw, everyone put in it manages to escape until the sixth movie, and even then Hoffman manages to jam it and escape with half a Glasgow Grin. In the next movie, he gets his revenge using the original model, which we finally see in full action. Game over. | |

One of Nightwolf's Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 11 has him drive his tomahawk between the opponent's jaws and rip the lower one off along with the entire front of upper body before tossing the axe into their heart. | |

Signature Move | |
| Jawbreaker / int_675056e4 | comment |
This is Kong's Signature Move. He does it to dinosaurs and giant snakes in the 30s film, the 70s film, the 00s film and the video game based on it. Kong also does this to Gorosaurus in King Kong Escapes. Subverted in Kong: Skull Island, in which the MonsterVerse incarnation of Kong attempts this against the Alpha Skullcrawler, Ramarak, but he's not strong enough to actually break his jaw and gives up. The sequel graphic novel Skull Island: The Birth of Kong indicates Kong killed a Sirenjaw offscreen this way. Subverted again in Godzilla vs. Kong, where he tries it on Godzilla but is forced away after Godzilla's atomic breath burns his fingers. |

One of the poachers in Primal Rage has this done to him by the Oh-Mah. Surprisingly Realistic Outcome in that he survives this injury for a few minutes, albeit in horrendous pain, until the Oh-Mah finds him again and stomps his skull to mush. | |

Finishing Move | |
| Jawbreaker / int_a43a691b | comment |
This is one possible execution animation for Ork Nobz in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine; pin their foot with your Power Axe and then break that jaw for the Emperor. And Titus does it with so much force that it makes the Nob'z head explode. |
