A character has been stabbed with a knife or some other bladed weapon and left for dead. Then, however, instead of just kicking the bucket, he suddenly pulls the weapon out of his body and uses it to fight back, firmly establishing himself as Made of Iron, Determinator, or with a Healing Factor. Of course, the characters who pull something like this don't necessarily have to be human, they can be either undead, robotic or alien. Who may be able to easily shrug off any kind of harm involving being stabbed or impaled by sharp implements. Note that in Real Life, this is a very bad idea because the knife sticking in the wound slows down the bleeding considerably. Pulling it out runs a high risk of bleeding yourself to death within minutes. Additionally, touching the lodged blade can result in you surviving the stab wound only to finish the job yourself by cutting into something important inside. For example, imagine that someone stabs you in the chest but manages to miss anything vital. You start yanking on the blade to try removing it and it creates a back and forth sawing motion, cutting right through a lung or massive blood vessel. Nice Job Breaking It, Hero. Compare Catch and Return and Human Pincushion. An example of Bows and Errors when done with an arrow. Sister trope to Lodged Blade Removal, wherein the object is removed, but not recycled. See also Enemy Exchange Program, which is the ability to gain control of the enemy faction's exclusive units. |

The climax of The Boxer From Shantung has the titular boxer having an ax shoved into his gut. His opponent, who did the stabbing, then tries strangling him with the ax still embedded on the spot, but the boxer retaliates by pulling the ax out and shoving it into his opponent's torso from up close. | |

Invoked (and therefore averted) in John Wick: Chapter 2. Wick stabs Cassian in the heart but leaves the knife there, telling Cassian that he'll remain alive as long as he doesn't remove the blade. This is done because he respects Cassian and is not a courtesy he extends towards The Dragon Ares. | |

Bleach: While trying to control his Hollowfication, Ichigo's black Zangetsu is destroyed by his Inner Hollow, who then impales him with a white Zangetsu. When Ichigo gains a Heroic Second Wind, he grabs the white Zangetsu before his Inner Hollow can take it, turns it black, pulls it out of his stomach and impales his Inner Hollow right back, forcing it to submit to him for the time being. | |

Malcolm has used up all his arrows on the soldier, who grabs him in a crushing bear grip; however, this allows Malcolm to grab one of the arrows lodged in the soldier's back, rip it out, and stab it into his neck, taking him down. | |

Shootfighter Tekken: actually played realistically with a fist-against-knife fight. Knife guy somehow ends up with the knife deep in his side, and proceeds to demonstrate his badassery by expelling it using just his abdominal muscles. The other characters, including the Heir to the Dojo he's fighting, just stare at him (the viewer is led to think it's in fear or admiration, but...) like he's an idiot, because suddenly he starts spraying blood and faints very soon after. | |

Ironhide in Transformers: Dark of the Moon gets a barbed weapon (possibly a timed explosive) thrown into his shoulder during a Mexican Standoff against two Decepticons. He proceeds to pull it out and return the favor to the one who threw it, except through the head. He then slams the 'Con onto a car and punts him into a building, with an explosion following. "Class dismissed!" | |

In Fullmetal Alchemist, Captain Buccaneer was stabbed by Wrath, but managed to yank the sword off his hand with his uber abs. Later on, he pulled this trope despite being warned not to and died shortly after. However, considering he managed to cripple Wrath with said blade, it also counts as Heroic Sacrifice. | |

Elden Ring: Starscourge Radahn begins his boss fight by firing his greatbow at you from range until you get close, at which point he switches to melee. Defeating him unlocks his greatbow and greatarrows for purchase. Reading the description of the arrows reveals that they are, in fact, not arrows at all, but spears that Malenia's Cleanrot Knights stabbed him with during the Battle of Aeonia, and he was ripping them out of his body to use as ammunition. | |

Final Fantasy VII: Last Order: After being run through by Sephiroth's sword and left dangling over a pit, a much younger Cloud somehow summons the strength to pull himself further onto the blade to regain his footing. Then uses it as a lever to fling Sephiroth across the room and into the wall! It should be noted that this is the Turk's recount of the event, since they didn't witness the actual battle; which has Cloud throw Sephiroth into the Mako pit itself rather than throwing him against the wall. | |

Terezi of Homestuck is mind-controlled into stabbing herself with her own sword, but pulls it out and keeps using it without missing a beat. Granted, she doesn't last much longer. Around the same time, Jake throws himself in front of a blade meant for a hypnotized Jane. Shortly after, the assailant telekinetically impales Jane with it with Jake still impaled on it. |

In Darksiders III, when battling Wrath of the Seven Deadly Sins, Fury is traumatized to see her cool horse, Rampage arriving at the battlefield with an angelic spear embedded in his side. Wrath callously pulls the spear out after Rampage dies, then impales Fury with it and slams the spear into the ground until he snaps off the tip, still lodged in Fury's stomach. Fury then calmly pushes the spear tip out through her back, backflips onto Wrath's head, and pushes the tip out of her body and into his face, killing him (or so she thinks). Realistically, she passes out from bleeding afterwards, and is only saved by the Lord of Hollows' intervention. | |

In the My Name Is Earl episode "Broke Joy's Fancy Figurine", Earl is trying to help a little girl (Candy) win a beauty pageant so he can make up for breaking Joy's beauty pageant trophy, with the act she's doing for the "talent" portion involving knife-throwing. Upon realizing Candy doesn't want to winnote she wants to breakaway from family line of showbusiness, and would rather be a doctor, Earl instructs her to throw a knife into his leg so she'll lose. Candy's concerned she'll hurt Earl, prompting him to explain that he's been stabbed by lots of girls before, and that "it only really hurts when you twist it, pull it out, and stick it back in." And as it turns out, Earl misremembered. | |

In Warframe, during The Second Dream quest, after the player's Warframe is impaled with the Stalker's War sword, the Warframe reawakens, snaps the sword lengthwise, and pulls the sword straight out of its torso. Once the quest is over, you acquire the Broken War sword to use normally and to craft War, which is quite a good sword itself. | |

In the final chase of Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa is stabbed in the abdomen and is eventually forced to remove the knife to chase the Big Bad. Reconstructed in that the act nearly kills her, but she survives thanks to prompt medical attention. It's also pretty clear that everyone involved knew that removing the knife would kill her and the whole thing is treated as a barely averted Heroic Sacrifice on her part. This also happens with the Polecat who stabs Furiosa, who's actually using a knife that Furiosa stabbed him with earlier. |

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: Played with repeatedly during Raiden's fight with Vamp. Towards the end of the fight, Raiden is pinned to the ground via a knife through the foot. He proceeds to yank his foot out of the ground and stomp on Vamp repeatedly... with the knife still sticking out. Later on, he takes two knives to the forearms and nailed to his back. He extracts them and uses the knives as weapons while they're still in his arms. Finally, he gets stuck with multiple knives, then flexes his cyber muscles to shoot them all out, sticking Vamp with them and allowing Raiden to make the killing blow. |

Smallville: In "Sacred", the witch Isobel summons two swords, enchants both and throws one into Clark Kent's shoulder, and as it is now magical, it stabs him. When she attacks him with the other sword, he pulls out the first to defend himself. The wound weakens him enough to put them on a more even playing field, but does not negate his Super-Speed, which he uses to incapacitate her, which breaks all of her spells, including the one keeping his injury open. As Kryptonians have a Healing Factor, is subsequently kicks in and solves the bleeding issue. | |

Stargate SG-1: Overlapping with I Am Not Left-Handed, Bra'tac did this in "Lost City" after being stabbed in his empty symbiote sac (tretonin having taken the place of his symbiote). Teal'c did almost the exact same thing in "Talion". Unlike most examples, they may have an excuse for not bleeding to death. Jaffa heal much faster than normal humans. Also they both very nearly died anyway, and needed medical treatment for it. |

The meeting goes poorly when it becomes clear he has no intention of signing any sort of peace treaty, and even has his men sneak attack at kill her bodyguards. While she is distracted by this, he stabs her in the hand and pins it to the table, and does some Evil Gloating about cutting off her ears and wearing them as a necklace. Unfortunately for him, this threat is her Berserk Button, and she swiftly pulls out the blade and buries it in his neck. | |

Star Trek Nausicaans have a culture that revels in violence, moreso than even the Klingons. One episode of Deep Space 9 features a pair of Nausicaans playing a game similar to darts, except using each other as targets. They don't even try to dodge, or anything, just casually removing the dart and returning the attack. Doubles as a Funny Background Event. Star Trek: Picard: When Elnor runs to Hugh's aid after Narissa throws a knife into his throat, she pulls a disruptor on him while his back is turned. He responds by pulling the knife out and throwing it at her, which she avoids thanks to a Teleportation Rescue. |

The Savage Dragon once did this in a Crossover with Hellboy. An undead pirate stabbed him in the back and he ended up with the blade stuck in him for almost an entire issue before he yanked it out in order to use it as a weapon against the animated brain of Adolf Hitler. Needless to say, it was one of the more memorable stories in the series. | |

An actual gameplay mechanic in The Elder Scrolls series, starting with Morrowind. If you are struck by an enemy archer, there is a small chance that the arrow will appear in your inventory. You can then equip it and fire it back, with the implication being that you took it out of your own flesh. Likewise, if an enemy archer is shot with a better quality arrow than what they possess, there's a chance they will send it straight back at you in the same fashion. This trope also appears in Oblivion and Skyrim, where the odds of the arrow showing up in your inventory are higher. | |

Zombie Revenge has a spectacular aversion in one boss fight. The undead boss has many spikes and other sharp pieces of debris embedded in its back. With the right timing one can use the "pick up weapon" command to yank out a pipe from it. This not only does heavy damage to it but also gives you a decent melee weapon. | |

In Santa Clarita Diet, Sheila pulls Loki's knife out of her shoulder and stabs him back with it. Being undead Sheila's fine, but it means her black goo blood is inside Loki when he escapes, turning him into a zombie even though she didn't bite him. | |

Polar. Mr. Blut has Duncan Vizla chained in shackles so he can slowly torture him to death over several days. However a knife he's using snaps off due to a piece of metal left in Duncan's body from an old injury. Duncan later removes the broken blade and uses it as an Improvised Lockpick on his shackles. | |

Pirates of the Caribbean: In The Curse of the Black Pearl, Barbossa does this with the knife Elizabeth used on him. Also doubles as The Reveal of the Black Pearl's curse. He then does this again at the end of the movie. This is The Reveal for the fact that Jack is now cursed. Later in the same scene, two cursed pirates wind up stabbing each other while dueling Will; they pull their swords out and continue fighting. When a dying James Norrington stabs Davy Jones through the shoulder as a final act of defiance in At World's End, Jones casually pulls the sword out and keeps it. All the examples are unusually justified because of the supernatural nature of the characters. |

Arrowverse: Arrow: In "Streets of Fire", Malcolm's fight with one of the Mirakuru Super Soldiers ends with a variant of this. Malcolm has used up all his arrows on the soldier, who grabs him in a crushing bear grip; however, this allows Malcolm to grab one of the arrows lodged in the soldier's back, rip it out, and stab it into his neck, taking him down. In the second episode of Legends of Tomorrow, Carter manages to overpower and stab Savage with the Amon Dagger. However, Savage easily pulls it out and kills him with it, revealing that Kendra is the only one who can use it against him. |

Exaggerated in Undead Unluck: Andy is impaled with a katana in the first chapter right before the surrounding area is hit by a meteor. After he regenerates and discovers the sword is indestructible, it becomes his primary weapon.

The Suicide Squad has once wound up on Apokolips, and Count Vertigo is stabbed by Kanto (a minion of Darkseid who has kind of a Italian Renaissance Assassin thing going.) Some time later, Vertigo turns out to have been playing possum and stabs Kanto in the back with his own dagger. Darkseid approves of this. Note that Count Vertigo was a Death Seeker at that point in his history and wouldn't care about the potential lethal side effects of pulling out the knife. | |

Shoot 'Em Up has the hero, Mr Smith, use a scalpel he was stabbed with to fight back. Although saying only this doesn't really do the scene justice... After having all his fingers broken, his torturer decides that the next step is to cut out an eye. Smith waits until the knife is close before headbutting the guy and getting the scalpel lodged in his forehead. Since his hands are broken and he's unable to hold the knife, he stabs it through his hand to be able to use it to fight back. The film is full of this kind of craziness. | |

In Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Mitchell kills Hades with this trope. When Mitchell is about to be stabbed, he blocks the blade with his left arm so that the knife ends up stuck in it. Then he pulls the knife out of his arm to slit Hades' throat. This is justified as Mitchell's left arm is prosthetic and thus carries no risk of bleeding out. | |

It remains there for the remainder of the film until he pulls it out as a last-ditch weapon to threaten another character, Jin. Mei also pulls out a blade that Leo used to stab her, saying that if he uses his knife on Jin, she will mow him down, even though she will bleed to death. | |

This is an actual gameplay mechanic in Dwarf Fortress. With the incredibly detailed combat system, blades or projectiles can be lodged in body parts. It is possible to remove these and throw them at enemies. This is usually a bad idea because it causes lots of blood loss. It is also possible to pull a lodged blade out of someone else's body. And occasionally the body part will remain attached if it's not their own. | |
