* ''Film/BornToDefense'' opens with a ''massive'' war scene during the Sino-Japanese war, where Chinese soldiers defending their border tries using one such detonator to blow up the advancing Japanese tank column. The PRC soldier attempting to use the detonator was killed before he could push it though, leading to the film's hero (played by a young Creator/JetLi) to cross a flaming trench via ImprovisedZipline and grab the plunger. It works.

He sets up a plunger detonator so it will detonate the explosives when the door is opened. A truck comes around a bend and forces him to open the door to escape, blowing himself up. The Coyote would try several other tricks involving hand-detonated explosives over his series, resulting in mishaps such as the detonator exploding while the dynamite remains intact (shouldn't be possible), or the plunger dropping due to gravity and setting off the explosives while they're still being planted (unlikely, but this is why the safe way to use explosives includes not attaching the wires to the detonator until the bomb is in place and you are a safe distance away).
