* ''Film/{{Clockwise}}'': During Brian's increasingly farcical journey to Norwich, he tries to direct the car through a field after taking a wrong turn, and the car ends up stuck in mud. Even though he is wearing a smart suit, he gallantly tries to push the car, but ends up covered in mud himself; especially when he kicks the car in a fit of anger, and falls flat on his face. When trying to find somebody with a tractor to pull them out, he accidentally wanders into a monastery, and ends up having a bath, in spite of his urgency.
