The higher you are falling from, the more likely it is that a car will be there when you land. Typically it is a parked car, but often it will have a driver inside. Oddly enough and given the same height, a car with a driver in it will suffer less damage than an empty one. The car probably allows the landing to be shown while keeping the TV parental guideline or MPAA rating relatively down. Possibly influenced by the famous "Most Beautiful Suicide" image. Sometimes the horn may be triggered, or even a hapless alarm. In the more trope-loving media, the car may even turn out to be a Pinto. Despite the trope name, the victim is unlikely to survive; only The Hero is almost guaranteed to survive. May or may not overlap with That Poor Car. The Precious, Precious Car is particularly likely to be a victim. Compare Living Crashpad and Trash Landing. Contrast Pedestrian Crushes Car, which usually ends with the car's destruction without harming the other side of the collision. As a Death Trope, all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware. |

Die Hard: Justified in Die Hard. While it's true that one of the Mooks is thrown from the top of a building and lands right in the windshield of a cop car, he was already dead, and McClane aimed him at Powell's car to get his attention. By the time of Live Free or Die Hard, however, nobody can fall from any height ever without damaging a poor sod's car (on several instances the one driven by McClane's). |

In the Angel episode "Salvage", Faith breaks out of jail by grabbing Wesley and jumping out a window, landing on a conveniently parked car a few floors beneath. The car cushions her fall, and she cushions his fall. Lack of injury is justified in that Faith, who has superpowers, is shown to take most of the hit and Wesley is still in noticeable pain afterwards. | |

CSI: NY has several: In "Dancing with the Fishes", a couple are driving underneath a tramway when the body of a young lady falls onto their windshield. In "Past Imperfect", Clay Dobson falls (or did he jump... hmmm?) from a rooftop and lands on a squad car. Downplayed in "Happily Never After" when a dead woman slides off the top of a schoolbus that came to a sudden stop in traffic. Turns out her killer had thrown her out a window onto it the night before, and the guy who had "borrowed" the bus to attend a party didn't realize she was there when he returned it to the lot. In "Nine Thirteen", the victim lands on a parked cab after falling off the 10th floor balcony of the episode's eponymous building. |

Great Teacher Onizuka falls maybe three or four stories onto a parked car, and walks away, leaving the car totaled. In this case it's more Rule of Funny that saves him though. In particular, the wrecked car is always the same car, belonging to the same person, who hates him. That car is the guy's prized possession, which gets repaired...only to be wrecked again. | |

On Fringe, a man whose mental state can infect people around him leads several people up onto the roof of a building, where they are all standing poised to jump. Olivia goes up to try to talk him down. At one point she makes a threatening move towards him and one of the followers jumps. The woman's body comes crashing down on a car near where Walter and Peter are waiting, presumably dying. | |

In an episode of Grey's Anatomy, there's a possibly suicidal man who disappears from the ER. George and Alex are out in the parking lot looking for him (and fighting about Izzie) when he breaks through a high floor window with a fire extinguisher and jumps, crashing right on top of a parked car. Surprisingly he survives, giving George an opportunity to impress Hunt by taking command of the situation. | |

Used at least twice on Nash Bridges: The first time was a suicide, but the impact occurs off camera. Later, you see the car the jumper landed on. It's Nash's '71 Hemi'Cuda.

In Iron Man, this happens when Tony crash-lands the Mark II after its test flight. In fact, he crashes through his roof, then a piano, followed by the floor, and only then does he land on his car and stop. Unfortunately, it's one of his vintage sports cars. The DVD with a program on the making of the movie reveals that this really was a very expensive car destroyed for the shot; the director bemoaned its loss before cuing its destruction. Said car likely was a 1965 Shelby Cobra, of which extremely few remain, making this a definitely tearjerker for car buffs. | |

In an earlier mission, CJ has to stow aboard a plane filled with The Men in Black, kill each one of them mid-flight, then parachute safely out of the plane. Jumping out of the plane without a 'chute will result in a cutscene of CJ smashing on top of the roof of a car and dying. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: In Iron Man, this happens when Tony crash-lands the Mark II after its test flight. In fact, he crashes through his roof, then a piano, followed by the floor, and only then does he land on his car and stop. Unfortunately, it's one of his vintage sports cars. The DVD with a program on the making of the movie reveals that this really was a very expensive car destroyed for the shot; the director bemoaned its loss before cuing its destruction. Said car likely was a 1965 Shelby Cobra, of which extremely few remain, making this a definitely tearjerker for car buffs. In The Avengers (2012), Cap is thrown out a window by the force of an explosion, and lands on a taxi outside. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the titular Soldier intentionally jumps from an overpass onto a car. Being a Super-Soldier, he's unharmed and continues his march. In Avengers: Age of Ultron, when Cap battles Ultron on top of the semi truck, he gets flung not once, but twice onto the windshield of the car behind them. Later, he gets knocked into a car by a drone. Played with in Ant-Man. Scott lands on a taxi at the end of his first outing with the Ant-Man suit, but since he's miniaturized at the time it only causes a small dent. And then he returns to normal size, puzzling the driver. |

In the first act of The Wolf Among Us, Bigby lands on Mr. Toad's car after he throws himself and the Woodsman out of a window. This time it actually makes sense for him to be mostly uninjured, as Fables are almost completely immortal, save tearing their heads off or throwing them down the Witching Well. | |

In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Madd Dogg is threatening to jump off of a roof because his career is over. To help him, CJ has to get a pickup truck full of cardboard boxes and park it under him so he'll land in the boxes when he jumps. This is subject to a notorious Game-Breaking Bug - Madd Dogg will frequently jump within seconds of the mission starting, making it Unwinnable. In an earlier mission, CJ has to stow aboard a plane filled with The Men in Black, kill each one of them mid-flight, then parachute safely out of the plane. Jumping out of the plane without a 'chute will result in a cutscene of CJ smashing on top of the roof of a car and dying. |

CSI-verse: CSI: In "The Happy Place," the Victim of the Week swan-dives off her balcony onto the roof of a bus; landing with enough force to shatter its windows. CSI: Cyber: In "Ghost in the Machine," a fleeing suspect leaps off a balcony, crashes through a carport roof and smashes into the roof of a car. CSI: Miami: "Miami, We Have a Problem" opens with a carjacking that is foiled when a dead body falls out of the sky and impacts on top of the car. CSI: NY has several: In "Dancing with the Fishes", a couple are driving underneath a tramway when the body of a young lady falls onto their windshield. In "Past Imperfect", Clay Dobson falls (or did he jump... hmmm?) from a rooftop and lands on a squad car. Downplayed in "Happily Never After" when a dead woman slides off the top of a schoolbus that came to a sudden stop in traffic. Turns out her killer had thrown her out a window onto it the night before, and the guy who had "borrowed" the bus to attend a party didn't realize she was there when he returned it to the lot. In "Nine Thirteen", the victim lands on a parked cab after falling off the 10th floor balcony of the episode's eponymous building. |

Seinfeld: George brags about getting a great parking spot right in front of the hospital, only for a suicidal mental patient to later jump off the hospital roof and land on top of his car. George tries to get the hospital to pay for the damages, but the hospital administrator calls him a heartless and greedy monster for doing so and tells him to get lost (even though, as the Hollywood Law page points out, George is 100% correct and the hospital is liable to pay for the damages). | |

In one of the side mission "Street Crimes" of L.A. Noire, a scuffle occurs on the roof of a building, ending with one of the perps being knocked off. With only one vehicle nearby, he somehow manages to land perfectly in the bed of a pickup truck. In the DLC "The Naked City", a high-end therapist loses the woman he loved and his freedom and profession due to his part in a robbery ring. As the main characters are about to put handcuffs on him, he throws himself out of an open window and, wouldn't you know it, lands on the only car in sight. Detective Earle remarks, "Didn't see that coming." |

Batman Film Series: In Batman (1989), one of the Joker's falling henchmen lands through a TV camera van, causing a massive spark explosion for no reason. Otherwise, the trope tends to be averted by Tim Burton: Both the Joker himself and Selina Kyle fall directly on the pavement. Though Joker doesn't survive, Selina gets better (due mainly to falling through several awnings before being revived by the neighborhood cats led by Miss Kitty). Selina takes another fall later in Batman Returns after her first battle with Batman as Catwoman. She lands in a dump truck filled with sand. ("Saved by kitty litter...") |

The Matrix Reloaded features this trope multiple times. The movie starts with Neo dreaming of Trinity leaping out of a skyscraper while fighting an agent, then landing on a parked car. The car chase has two: After pulling off the freeway and driving onto an overpass, Trinity and the Keymaker try to escape by leaping off the overpass and landing on a big rig hauling motorcycles. Justified because Trinity deliberately tried to jump onto the truck. Once the Agents see where the Keymaker is, an agent leaps from a freeway overpass onto Morpheus's trailer. Justified because the Agent's jump was also deliberately performed. Finally, at the end of the film, Neo saves Trinity when she leaps out of the skyscraper by catching her before she hits the car - the agent chasing her falls onto the car instead. |

In the MacGyver (1985) episode "Passages," MacGyver falls two or three stories onto the roof of a car, putting him into a coma. He fell out of a car park, meaning that there wasn't a lot of sidewalk for him to hit. Since he's the hero, he gets better. | |

In the beginning of Hellboy II: The Golden Army, the title character is thrown out a window by an explosion and lands on a car. Nothing he couldn't handle, though due to the sudden exposure to all the pedestrians, it does break the masquerade. Which was, of course, his goal. | |

In The Loved Ones, Lola and her father force Brent out of a tree by throwing rocks at him. He loses his grip on the branch, falls out of the tree, and lands painfully on the bonnet of the Kingswood ute, before bouncing off. | |

The city streets stage of X-Men: Next Dimension has 3 ways to get knocked off a skyscraper. Directly off; down to another level and then off; or getting blown across to an electric billboard across the street, getting electrocuted, falling off it and onto a taxi on the street, then rolling off it limp. | |
