In Real Life, the trunks of cars are mainly used for long-term storage of road safety gear and spare tires, and short-term storage of bulky items that take up too much space in the cab of the vehicle, like groceries or golf clubs. In fiction, though, especially crime, spy shows, or horror, trunks tend to be used for storing people, alive or dead. This can be for several reasons: The person in the trunk is alive, trapped in the trunk, and being taken somewhere against his or her will by some villain. The person in the trunk is alive and is hiding in the trunk to follow the driver, who may or may not be aware of this. The person in the trunk is alive and is being taken somewhere willingly, riding in the trunk to hide from authorities (or bad guys) who might stop the car. The person in the trunk is alive and is being taken somewhere willingly, I'm order to sneak into a facility (this could range from teens going into a drive-in theater to a spy getting into a secret research base). The person in the trunk is alive and is being taken somewhere willingly, because the car is so completely crammed with other people that it's the only place they'll fit. The person in the trunk is dead, and the driver may or may not have put the body in there. The last one overlaps with Dead Man's Chest, and may be part of a scheme for Disposing of a Body. Note that it's only a "trunk" in countries which use American English. The rest of the English speaking world calls it a "boot" (The term boot originally comes from stagecoaches, originally referring to side seats but later a storage area in the coach). Compare Vehicular Kidnapping, and Creepy Stalker Van. See also Trunk Shot. |

Megas XLR: In "Universal Remote", Coop and Jamie smuggle Goat into a drive-in theater in the trunk of Megas' car. Then Skalgar attacks during the movie. By the end of the episode, Goat is still inside the trunk, unaware of what has happened and wondering when the movie will finally begin. During the credits, he can be heard banging the lid to signal he wants to be let out. | |

Used twice in the Dutch children's series Bassie & Adriaan. Played seriously in "de Diamant", when Bassie and Adriaan hide in the trunk of the crook's car in order to find out where they are going. Played for Laughs in "De Reis Vol Verrassingen" when the crook B100 has to ride in the trunk because the car that he and his fellows use to get to the Airport doesn't have a backseat. | |

Shakespeare & Hathaway - Private Investigators: In "Most Wicked Speed", Lu is caught sneaking around Portia Dane's garage. Attempting to justify her presence, she pulls the cover off what she thinks is the Mistress Quickly, only to disover it actually conceals Reece Alonso's car. Surprised, she asks if Alonso's car is here, then where is Alonso, and thumps on the boot. The thump is met by an answering knock and she discobbers Alonso locked in the boot of his own car. | |

Adam-12: In "Log 66: Vandals," two Hostile Hitchhikers kill the driver because she wouldn't give them her money, then hide the body in the trunk. When the two get arrested for unrelated reasons, the driver shows the cops the body to get revenge on the passenger for getting them arrested. In "Trouble in the Bank," two bank robbers take Reed hostage, force him into their car, and drive off, not knowing that Malloy is hiding in their trunk with a radio, reporting their position. |

When they reach the Abandoned Warehouse, one of the goons says that he knows his car and can tell when it's too heavy, so they open the trunk, find Sabrina, and tie her up alongside their previous victim. | |

Frasier, who's never been to a drive-in theater, is given the role of trunk boy, which involves being smuggled into the theater in the trunk of the car. This proves problematic when they're unable to get the trunk open and he has to force his way out. | |

In season 3 of Dexter, someone ambushes Dexter in the parking-garage as he's leaving work, ties him up and throws him in a trunk before driving off with him. Dexter — and the viewer — naturally assumes that it's the resident antagonist, The Skinner, taking him off to torture and murder, and Dex tensely frees himself of his constrains and readies himself to pounce the moment the trunk is opened — and so he does, squarely hitting... one of his colleagues, who'd chosen this rather melodramatic way to cart him off to a secret Bachelor-party. The rest of his colleagues are both impressed and amused by the reaction, and Dex rapidly recovers his cool. | |

In Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, two of the robbers hide in the huge trunk of a 1950s automobile in order to sneak them into a Drive-In Theater. Unfortunately, the trunk is shut on the Badass Longcoat worn by one of the robbers; the man selling tickets notices it sticking out of the trunk and calls the police after hearing a sneeze from inside. | |

Done several times on Beavis and Butt-Head: The two get thrown in the trunk themselves on at least two occasions: By Todd in "Canned", and by Muddy in the film. In "A Great Day", the two stumble upon a man who is stuffing a dead body in his trunk, who promptly pays them to go away and not say anything about it. |

Luther: In the finale of Season 2, Luther has to get rid of a psychotic gangster killed in self-defense by the woman he's hiding in his flat. At the same time, an ex-cop working as an enforcer is trying to find out what happened to his boss. At first Luther hides the body on the roof of his apartment complex, but has to get rid of it when the enforcer comes around, dragging it into the lift in a huge sports bag. The enforcer catches Luther locking the trunk of his car and forces him to open it at gunpoint, revealing the bag... is full of sports equipment. Later the police answer an anonymous tip-off and find the body hidden in the enforcer's car. When he realises that he's been set up, the enforcer flees, expressing admiration for Luther's cunning. | |

Forever Knight: Invoked by Nick Knight, who drives a 1962 Cadillac because it has the largest trunk of any car built in North America in the last 30 years, so he can use it as a place to sleep if caught away from his home at dawn. In the Pilot Movie this causes problems when his partner borrows the car without permission, driving around in daylight with Nick trapped in the trunk, and the brakelines turn out to be sabotaged. In "Dying to Know You", the daughter of a Corrupt Corporate Executive is snatched, but it's actually her father paying for her to be murdered in a Faked Kidnapping for ransom. However when they're being paid off, the criminals inform the father as a cruel taunt that she's still alive in the trunk of their car and has been told all about her father's involvement, and leave him the job of killing her. |

The Grand Theft Auto series has it's fair share of this trope: First, there is the aptly named "Dead Skunk In The Trunk" mission in Grand Theft Auto III has you drive a car with a dead mobster in the trunk while his "family" chases you. There is also the mission "Have a Heart" in Grand Theft Auto IV, in which Elizabeta kills Manny Escuela and his cameraman and you have to deliver the bodies to a back-alley surgeon with enough care that the trunk won't fly open from an unwanted crash and the police won't chase you down. In the same game, at the start of the "Roman's Sorrow" mission, Niko finds Roman stuck in the trunk of his own taxi. He hid there to escape the Russians, who are after him due to the events of the previous mission, "Russian Revolution". And again in IV, in the mission "She's a Keeper", Niko has to move Gracie Ancelotti from one safehouse to another, and insists she is transported in the trunk of his car considering the fight she put up the last time he had to transport her. If the player drives too recklessly, Gracie will break her neck, failing the mission. Continued in Grand Theft Auto V, where Devin Weston is stuffed in a trunk by the protagonists, and then the car is pushed off of a cliff, with predictable results. |

DuckTales (1987): "The Good Muddahs" features the variant where someone is stuffed in the trunk in order to effect a getaway from the authorities. Specifically, the Nephews, Bubba and Webby stuff the Beagle Babes into their own trunk, and drive away pursued by two stupid rookie cops. Interestingly enough, after suffering the bumpy ride, Boom-Boom Beagle refers to the variant where a dead body is stuffed in the trunk: |

Common in James Bond films: The Man with the Golden Gun: While Mary Goodnight is trying to hide a homing device in the trunk of Scaramanga's car, she's shoved into the trunk and the car is driven away. She eventually gets the trunk open, only to find she's hundreds of feet in the air. Diamonds Are Forever: After being gassed unconscious, Bond is put into the trunk of a car by Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd and taken to a construction site to be Buried Alive. However, when Wint bends down to place Bond in the trunk, his bottle of cologne falls out of his pocket and gets smashed. Bond wakes up covered in the stuff and recognizes the smell later when Kidd and Wint try to kill him at the end of the movie. Suggested by Saunders in The Living Daylights as a means of smuggling out a defector, until Bond overrules the plan: "That's the first place they'd look." After they successfully get the defector out Bond's way, Bond and Saunders reach the border and the border guards... are checking out the boot of the car. Saunders looks a bit put-out. Quantum of Solace: The Batman Cold Open features Bond in a frantic car chase, after which it's revealed that he was transporting Mr. White in the trunk. Casino Royale (2006) and Quantum of Solace both feature dead bodies placed in trunks to frame the drivers of the respective cars. In a particular irony, the man who arranged the frame-up in Casino Royale becomes the victim in the trunk in Quantum of Solace. |

In Speed Racer, Spritle and Chim-Chim often hide in the trunk of the Mach 5, including during races. Since they can get out when they want to, unless the "latch was jammed" for drama, Pops apparently put a lever in there to open the trunk from the inside. | |

Bon Cop, Bad Cop had the Québec Cowboy Cop roughly shove a suspect in the trunk of his car, accompanied by the protests of his Ontarian By-the-Book Cop colleague. It happens later in the movie too with a different suspect, where we get this gem. | |

Wiseguy In the pilot episode, undercover federal agent Vinnie Terranova is given the job of Disposing of a Body in his trunk. Unfortunately, he's being harassed by two traffic cops who break his taillight so they can have a pretext to search his car. The hitman with Vinnie is fully prepared to kill them, so Vinnie just drives off suddenly and evades the police in the subsequent car chase. Invoked when a Mafia boss is angry because a hitman failed to kill his target. The hitman protests that he emptied an entire clip from an Uzi into the man. The Mafia boss retorts that when you want someone dead, you shoot them in the back of the head and stuff their body in a trunk. He then does exactly that to the hitman. |

Miho from Sin City snuck into a mob enforcer's trunk while the car was still moving. Dwight was in the backseat along with some of the mob thugs as a Batman Gambit to get them to confess to a hit before killing them. Apparently, Miho could hear the conversation going on and killed one on command by shoving her Absurdly Sharp Blade through the trunk and into the guy's skull. | |

Fog Over Frisco: Arlene's corpse is eventually discovered in the trunk of her car. But the Intrepid Reporter who discovers it doesn't tell anyone right away, which leads to Arlene's stepsister Val hurriedly driving away in the car, with Arlene's body still in the trunk. And that in turn leads to a pretty amazingly ghastly scene for 1934, in which the "rumble seat" trunk is opened, causing Arlene's body to flip up and her rigor-stiffened arms to point at the sky. | |

NCIS: Played with in the pilot episode, "Yankee White". FBI Agent Fornell thinks he's got a dead body in his car's trunk. In reality, inside the body bag is the very-much-alive NCIS Agent Di Nozzo, who is serving as a diversion while Gibbs smuggles the real dead body to NCIS HQ so his Medical Examiner can examine it without FBI interference. In one episode, the Creep of the Week is holding a navy officer for ransom, keeping her in the trunk of a car. This leads to a race against time to find her, as said Creep didn't know she had asthma (and therefore was in danger of suffocation before his deadline would come). Another episode has Gibbs hide himself in the trunk as part of a rescue mission for Director Shepard. He's still in the trunk when he shoots the kidnapper. |

In Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Pal Meraktis wanted to do this with what he thought was Alita Tiala's dead body, so he could dispose of it. He couldn't get his car started (unbeknownst to him, someone had shoved a pair of panties in the exhaust pipe), so he settled for shoving her in the back of the next-door mobile noodle stand. This all bit him bad when it turned out Alita wasn't actually dead, and shot him not long after coming to. | |

The Professionals: In "Slush Fund", Doyle is knocked unconscious by the episode's antagonist while in a carpark, who hides his body in a nearby Jaguar that's been left unlocked. The Jag is then stolen by joyriding hoodlums, who eventually crash sending Doyle flying out the back and themselves over a cliff. No-one was harmed though as there were only a couple of crash test dummies in the front seat. In "Servant Of Two Masters", Bodie has a thug Bound and Gagged and throws him in the back of his minivan for safekeeping. When Doyle comes along and finds the vehicle rocking as the thug struggles to free himself, he assumes his partner has been getting some on-the-job nookie until two more thugs attack him. He knocks them out and they end up in the back of the minivan as well, until a fourth minion turns up to free them. In "The Acorn Syndrome", Bodie hides in the boot of a car to follow the man driving it to a ransom drop. Unfortunately the kidnappers have him change cars, and Bodie barely gets out of the boot in time to attach a Tracking Device to the second car before it drives off. |

Tintin. Averted in The Calculus Affair. After a long (and oft-times comic) car chase, Tintin and Haddock catch up with the car which they believe their kidnapped colleague was bundled into. The men in the vehicle indignantly deny everything and invite them to search the (empty) trunk. It's only after they drive off that Tintin realises the back seat seemed a bit large; turns out there's a compartment underneath it, in which Calculus had been hidden. | |

Subverted twice in the X-Men graphic novel God Loves, Man Kills. Tracking some villains surveying the mansion, Kitty Pryde uses her phasing powers to sneak into their car's trunk. Unfortunately, the trunk has sensors that detect her presence, and they activate Knockout Gas. Later, they try to execute her while the trunk is still closed, only to find the trunk empty, as she only inhaled a portion of the gas and retained enough consciousness to escape. | |

Taxi: An interesting case: it seems like the Korean taxi drivers in Marseilles work 24 hours a day. It's always one car, one taxi driver's license — and two drivers, one of whom drives while the other one sleeps in the trunk. They switch places around dawn and sunset. That only works because all Koreans look the same to the French. After having seen this, Émilien, the lead cop in the film, tries this trick to stake out a gang of German bank robbers who come to a garage to pick up new tires for their car: He climbs into the trunk of one of the Mercedes. Now guess where the Germans are going to stash their new tires. |

In the first mission of the Russian campaign of Empire Earth, Grigor starts out hiding from the authorities in the trunk of his friend's Pyotr car and planning to escape Voronezh. However, he is aware that the trunk is "the first place the guards check" and thus they look for a better vehicle to smuggle him out. If they try to use the original car, they are caught and laugh at how Grigor tried to escape hiding in a trunk "like in a bad spy movie". | |

Done so often in Person of Interest it's basically a Running Gag. Notable examples include: In the pilot episode, Reese puts the dead body of Detective Fusco's corrupt superior in his trunk, leaving Fusco the job of disposing of it. In "Judgement", Reese uses this trope as an interrogation method. He'll stop driving recklessly and let the mook out of the trunk when he agrees to talk. The mook doesn't have much information, but he reveals the location of a second member of the gang who also ends up in the trunk. When this man refuses to talk, Reese cuts the bonds of the first man and says he can get out of the trunk the moment he gets the information Reese needs. Cue first mook beating up the second until he talks. In "Blue Code" Reese himself ends up in the trunk of a car which is then set on fire. Fortunately one of the criminals is an undercover police officer who slips a torch into Reese's pocket, enabling him to escape in time. In "Til Death", a married couple are planning to murder each other, so Reese abducts them one at a time (in the middle of a busy Manhattan street) and throws them both in his trunk, much to the embarrassment of Detective Fusco and Carter who are standing right there. Fusco ends up slapping the trunk loudly when the woman starts banging and shouting to be let out. In "Razgovor", a Russian mafia mook learns the importance of clearing out your trunk before doing this trope when Shaw smacks him in the face with a tyre iron. In "Proteus", Reese goes to dump a body in his trunk, only to find another body already there. Turns out the (fake) FBI agent he's working with is actually the Villain of the Week. In "Liberty", criminals throw the Victim of the Week in their trunk, only to have the car drive off without them as Reese has already knocked out and replaced the driver. In "RAM", a character talks of how he was injected with a knockout drug, then woke up in the trunk of a car with a suicide note in his pocket. Only a fortuitous car crash saved him. In "Beta", Reese and Shaw bribe a cab driver to smuggle them in his trunk to avoid being caught on the numerous CCTV's being monitored by Samaritan. In "Nautilus", Root is meeting with Harold Finch in her car when there are sudden noises from the trunk. |

Top Gear: How do we know the Rolls Royce Corniche that Jeremy Clarkson is driving actually belongs to James May? Easy...because May is trapped in the boot. One of the tests used for finding the ideal car for members of the Albanian Mafia is seeing if a body will fit into the trunk. Unfortunately, said body is decidedly large. Invoked when Richard Hammond is reviewing the fifth generation Mustang, noting that bad guys in movies tend to stuff people into the trunks of muscle cars. He then points out a convenient trunk release lever mounted on the inside of the trunk lid which shows a man leaping from the trunk. When testing out the Renault Twingo, Jeremy has Ross Kemp get into the trunk to show how much space it has. Kemp stays there for the rest of the test, even when Jeremy tries to jump it onto a ferry. |

Veronica Mars had a rather clever use of this. After his daughter is born, Duncan Kane gets into a custody battle with the parents of the recently deceased mother. Deciding he can't win against them, he kidnaps his daughter and flees the country. Veronica tells Sheriff Lamb that he fled to Mexico and Lamb goes after him. After it turns out to be a false lead, Lamb goes home. Along the way, he discovers he inadvertently helped Duncan sneak out of the country in his own patrol car's trunk. | |

Ace Attorney: Valerie Hawthorne in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations, was stuffed in the trunk of the car after being killed. In the first game, after killing Bruce Goodman, Damon Gant stuffed the body in the trunk of Edgeworth's car. In Investigations 2, a pair of kidnappers stash their live victim in a large box thrown into the trunk of a taxi. In Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Pal Meraktis wanted to do this with what he thought was Alita Tiala's dead body, so he could dispose of it. He couldn't get his car started (unbeknownst to him, someone had shoved a pair of panties in the exhaust pipe), so he settled for shoving her in the back of the next-door mobile noodle stand. This all bit him bad when it turned out Alita wasn't actually dead, and shot him not long after coming to. |

Family Guy does this a few times: In the episode "Don't Make Me Over", in a cutaway gag, Neil Armstrong runs into someone after filming the moon landing. The man wonders why he is on Earth, because he just saw the moon landing on TV. Neil Armstrong kills the man with his astronaut's helmet and stuffs him into the trunk of his car. In the episode "8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter", Stewie knocks out his babysitter's boyfriend, because he is jealous of him. He throws him in the trunk of Brian's car. Weeks later, he completely forgets about him, and the man dies. |

Subverted in Spongebob Squarepants where one episode has Spongebob and Mr. Krabs show up at Squidward's mother's house in balaclavas and a burlap sack, much to her horror. The next scene has them shove the full sack into Mr. Krabs' trunk, but keep hitting it to make the trunk's lid close. Then Squidward's mother tells them to step aside and just slams the trunk shut. Turns out the sack was actually Mr. Krabs' laundry so there would be room for her to sit at the front. | |
