* Used at the climax of Tim Burton's ''Film/Batman1989'', when the Joker flees up the steps of (the surprisingly tall) Gotham Cathedral, taking Kim Basinger's DamselInDistress (surprisingly so for a movie made in the last months of 1989 - it's like she was paid per scream) with him. {{Justified|Trope}} on the Joker's side, since he radios ahead for a helicopter pickup and thus knows ''he'' won't be trapped, and takes repeated measures to stop anyone from following. Batman's inevitable pursuit is also somewhat justified by his concern for the Joker's hostage (plus his professional familiarity with {{Building Swing}}s).

* Used by a hero this time in the 2007 ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' movie during the climactic battle at the end of the movie. Sam runs up a tall building (using an inside staircase) while carrying the [[MacGuffin Allspark]], during which [[BigBad Megatron]] follows him by just bashing through the different floors. Justified because an Army Ranger radioed for a helicopter to meet him on the roof of said building. [[spoiler:Said helicopter was then shot down by another bad guy seconds before it grabbed the Allspark from Sam.]]
