* ''Film/NowYouSeeMe2'': Dylan's father, the magician and EscapeArtist Lionel Shrike, died when Dylan was a child when a trick he was attempting to do (escaping a locked safe thrown to the bottom of a river) went wrong. The villains lock Dylan in a copy of the same safe his father died in and drop it in a harbor to really twist the psychological knife. [[spoiler:Dylan is only able to escape because he is wearing his father's wristwatch, which has a pin that works as a failsafe key and a blacklight that shows where the failsafe is even in the dark and underwater.]]

** One episode's killer was a stage illusionist who did this to his foster mother out of anger over feeling abandoned because he had issues as a kid and she gave him back because she feared for her new baby's life. He sets it up as a Houdini-style water escape trick that she won't escape from. Fortunately Mac and company arrive just in time to shoot out the glass.
** Another victim is trapped in a sealed room that slowly fills with cold water, subjecting her to hypothermia. The team locate and rescue her just in the nick of time.

* ''Film/MysteriousDoctorSatan'' (1940 FilmSerial). A variation is used for an end-of-chapter CliffHanger when TheHero and DamselInDistress are in a diving chamber and an underwater explosion breaks a porthole. The air pocket formed as the water rushes in leads to more plausible survival [[CliffhangerCopout than some cliffhangers]].
