* ''Series/SyndromeE''. Commissioner Sharko is captured by a corrupt police officer in Morocco, who has his minion fill a 44-gallon drum with water so they can dunk Sharko's head in it until he reveals how much he's discovered about their conspiracy. He actually drowns during the interrogation, so they haul him out and untie his hands until he recovers. Big mistake.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/TheMother'' is torturing a Cuban gangster for the [[MamaBear whereabouts of her kidnapped daughter]]. After beating him with [[PowerFist barbed wire handwraps]] doesn't work, she pulls his shirt over his face, breaks the neck off a bottle of beer and pours it over the shirt (apparently the fizz makes the wounds hurt more). That gets him talking, but when he taunts him about what the captors will do to her daughter, she knocks him off the chair and his neck gets impaled on the [[GrievousBottleyHarm broken beer bottle.]]

* Waterboarding, made famous in the 2000s by the controversy over the Bush-era CIA's so-called "EnhancedInterrogationTechniques", involves pouring water over a cloth held over the face of the subject. (Descended from the "water cure", used most infamously more than a century earlier by American soldiers on Filipinos in the Philippine-American War c 1898-1902[[note]]but continued to flare up intermittently until as far as 1913[[/note]]. That variant involved simply pouring gallons of water directly into the victim's throat and then jumping or applying pressure on their stomach to make them throw it all back up.)
