A motor vehicle trope. When traversing the front of a car from one side to the other the character can either simply run around the front of the car or instead opt to jump at speed and slide across the hood of the car. The bad guy has just escaped in a car, or some characters are being pursued themselves and need to enter a car, or a car might be blocking the way in a chase on foot. Whatever the situation, time is precious and every millisecond counts. Performing a hood slide saves time but perhaps more importantly, it looks badass! Considered a staple of The '70s cop show, any work that parodies the genre is bound to feature a hood slide somewhere. However many consider the Trope Codifier to be The Dukes of Hazzard which wasn't actually a cop show although it did indeed feature a lot of car chases allowing for a lot of hood slides to be featured. This trope often leads to or is part of a Car Chase. Often involves cool cars. It should go without saying, but unless you can afford to buff out the scratches, Don't Try This at Home! |

Many consider Luke Duke from The Dukes of Hazzard to be the Trope Codifier, as he or his cousin Bo tended to perform hood slides on the General Lee whenever there was going to be a car chase. It helped that it was enshrined in the opening titles (as pictured above), so you saw it every week regardless. When Bo and Luke were briefly replaced by Coy and Vance, they did it too, and that was also in the credits. Fans were not impressed. |

Averted in Brooklyn Nine-Nine when Amy seems all set up to do this, but instead jumps on top of the hood to tackle a perp. Since she's wearing a wedding dress, she might not have wanted to get it dirty by doing a more traditional hood slide. | |

Lampshaded in Showtime; Robert DeNiro's character tells Eddie Murphy's character that real police officers never do hood slides because their holsters always make a scratch on the hood; cue an Oh, Crap! reaction from Eddie Murphy when he sees a huge scratch across his new corvette's hood. | |
