* ''DeadFantasy 5''. Heavily wounded and surrounded by {{ninja}}s, Tifa jumps from the top of a building and lands on a passing train below.

* The ActionPrologue in ''Film/TheMechanic'' ends with the ProfessionalKiller leaping off a bridge while a barge passes beneath. Rather than a desperate improvisation, it's all part of a meticulously planned contract killing.

* Comical variation in ''{{Change 123}}'': When one of the heroine's [[SplitPersonality Split Personalities]] is about to start a fight, she suddenly jumps off the footbridge -- not to ''escape'', but because she had recklessly put away her purse onto the railing and later pushed it down with her elbow, so she has to jump down (onto a truck) to fetch it.

* [[Franchise/{{Tintin}} Tintin]] did it twice in "[[Recap/TintinTheBlackIsland The Black Island]]". The first time, he failed.

* ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded''. Morpheus orders Trinity to get the Keymaker to safety, and she does so by jumping with him off the bridge and landing on a truck carrying motorcycles.
** Later on Morpheus is shown on top of a truck, implying that he did the same thing.

** He does it in the 2000 TV series remake as well, identical to the {{Salt}} tactic described above.

* Wolf attempts to pull it off in an [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOjVeqTMn9k episode]] of ''NuPogodi'', jumping off a bridge to land on his runaway motorcycle. He just barely misses.

* Used by BugsBunny in the {{Anvilicious}} ''CartoonAllStarsToTheRescue'' when explaining that "My friends were doing it" is no excuse for getting into drugs; even if the others weren't being malicious, a bad idea is a bad idea.

* [[TheAdventuresOfTintin Tintin]] did it twice in ''The Black Island''. The first time, he failed.

* Done in ''FinalFantasyVII'' with a train after the characters blow the mako generator up.

* ''The Bronze Horseman'' by Paullina Simons. Alexander escaped from the train taking him to TheGulag by jumping out while it was crossing a river 30 metres below. His chances of survival were so small the guards never even bothered stopping the train to look for him.

Our heroes/heroines are on the run, whether from the bad guys or misinformed agents of the law. They attempt to flee over a bridge or overpass, only to find that their pursuers have sealed the other end of it and are closing on them. They're cornered. What do they do? Surrender? Go down in a blaze of glory? Why no, they look off the bridge, spot an accommodating looking vehicle passing beneath it (depending on what's under the bridge, it could be a truck, train, boat, SoftWater or any number of other possibilities), and take a well-timed leap, landing safely on the back of it and escaping.
