* In the Creator/ShawBrothers ''wuxia'' film ''Film/TheLongChase'', protagonist Kou-ying had to scale a tall ladder to reach his girlfriend, a DamselInDistress trapped on top of a three-story tower. Enemy mooks tries to force Kou-ying into crashing by pushing the ladder over, and Kou-ying barely escapes with his life in the process.
* Obvious siege examples occur in ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheTwoTowers'' during the Battle of Helm's Deep. Aragorn pushes several ladders back from the lower wall of the fortress on which he's doing his best to keep the Uruk-hai, and later on the main bastion Legolas shoots the rope that's being used to raise a ladder with dozens of Uruks already on it, and it falls back onto dozens more Uruks on the ground.



* ''Film/TheMummy1999'' opens with an accidental example of this trope leading to some unusually literal DisasterDominoes.
* During the climax of ''Film/OutlawBrothers'', the ActionGirl protagonist takes out a mook while on a higher platform by knocking over the ladder said mook was climbing up towards her.

* Video game adaptations of ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' films that include the Battle of Helm's Deep often require the player characters to run around on top of the wall and push back the siege ladders.

* ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest'': In "The Curse of Anubis", a bad guy is climbing up a ladder to get to Hadji, who's on top of a building. Jonny appears at a window lower down and pushes the ladder, causing it (and the bad guy) to fall. The bad guy ends up in a water trough.
* On one ''WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner'' cartoon, Wile E. scores a ladder and lays it across a gorge, hoping to trick the Roadrunner into crossing it and falling to his doom. Then he spots the Roadrunner on a cliff overhead and decides to use the ladder to get up to him, with predictable results.



* In the WesternAnimation/BugsBunny cartoon "No Parking Hare", a construction worker tries to remove Bugs' burrow from the path of a freeway. The first attempt is to put explosives around the hole, but that just blows up all the ground around the burrow, leaving it intact as a tall tower in the middle of a huge crater. Next, the construction worker brings out a ladder and tries to climb up to the entrance, but Bugs opens a hole in the middle and saws the ladder in half, then nudges the top half until it and the worker fall.
