* In ''Literature/JackBlank'', [[RubberMan Allegra]] falls off the outside of a car during a high-speed chase and lands on top of another car. Because she's MadeOfIron, she's perfectly fine, but the car she lands on isn't.
[[AC:Live Action {{Film}}s]]

* One ''Series/{{Tosh0}}'' episode had a Web Redemption for a man who got hit by an ice cream truck while dancing in the middle of a street. It ended with the man starring in a music video where an ice cream truck hits him again only to get demolished instead.
[[AC:Music]]
* The [[http://vimeo.com/11533560 music video]] for "Rabbit In Your Headlights" by Music/{{UNKLE}} featuring [[Music/{{Radiohead}} Thom Yorke]]. In it, a homeless and seemingly crazy man in a thick jacket is walking in the middle of a road through a busy tunnel. He gets hit a few times by passing cars but always gets right back up and continues walking and ranting to himself. Eventually he begins shedding his clothes. At the climax of the song he suddenly stops, shirtless, and holds out his arms as a car barrels towards him. [[http://b.vimeocdn.com/ts/477/914/47791457_640.jpg It crashes into him as if he's immovable]].
[[AC:VideoGames]]
* The first ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' game has a {{minigame}} where characters can beat up a car with their bare fists '''and there's a time limit'''. Later used for ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'', where it's probably more well-known -- though it doesn't have the hapless owner showing up and breaking down in despair.
* The opening cinematic of ''VideoGame/{{Crysis}}'' shows off the rapid improvisation the series' nanosuits are intended to make possible. At one point a mook [[CarFu tries to run Nomad down with a Humvee]], but Nomad switches suit modes to SuperStrength and destroys the vehicle by punching it.
* ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' and [[VideoGame/{{Prototype2}} its sequel]] treat cars as little more than [[OutsideRide rolling]] [[CarFu ammo]] and even tanks can be literally tossed aside. And forget about them running over the player character, he's a ''lot'' heavier than he looks.
[[AC:WesternAnimation {{Film}}s]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheTripletsOfBelleville'', one of the gangster cars flips after hitting a BabyCarriage; the baby was just that big.
[[AC:WesternAnimation TV]]
* In the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short "Dough Ray Me-ow", a parrot tries to kill a cat by having him play in the railroad track as the train is coming. The train is totaled in the collision, but the cat steps out with nary a scratch.
* In one ''WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner'' cartoon, Wile E. is hit so hard by a truck that he leaves a hole through it.

* The opening cinematic of ''VideoGame/{{Crysis}}'' shows off the rapid improvisation the series' nanosuits are intended to make possible. At one point a mook [[CarFu tries to run Nomad down with a Humvee]], but Nomad switches suit modes to SuperStrength and destroys the vehicle by punching it.
* ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' and [[VideoGame/{{Prototype2}} its sequel]] treat cars as little more than [[OutsideRide rolling]] [[CarFu ammo]] and even tanks can be literally tossed aside. And forget about them running over the player character, he's a ''lot'' heavier than he looks.
