It's Raining Men	comment	(clap) Hallelujah, it's raining men! Amen! Simply put, people falling from the sky, or at least a great height, then landing safely, at least for them. This is accomplished in Real Life via parachutes or gliders, but in Speculative Fiction it can be done through Powered Armor, Jet Packs, special pods, or Applied Phlebotinum. Usually an airplane is involved, but balloons, cliffs, a Standard Sci-Fi Fleet, a tall building, or even a magic castle will do. This trope is only very marginally related to the song by The Weather Girls from which it takes its name. (In the music video, several guys are shown parachuting in on the two singers... using umbrellas.) A Super-Trope to Drop Pod, where the soldiers are dropped from orbit inside a disposable casing to survive atmospheric reentry. Compare Fast-Roping, Drop Ship. Less-than-successful examples may result in a Parachute in a Tree. Contrast Death Flight. Contrast Rocketless Reentry.

It's Raining Men / int_13f21e09	comment	All the WWII methods of airborne insertion are used in Company of Heroes. US Paratroopers are some of the best infantry in the game, with an optional antitank weapon and a default ability to build field defenses. They can reinforce lost squad members anywhere, and given the extreme flexibility awarded to infantry in this game, are basically all you need on the campaign missions where they are used. Some of the Support Powers offered in the Airborne Company include paying a premium to drop a paratroop squad anywhere, dropping an anti-tank gun (and its crew), and dropping a nice heavy supply load containing heavy weapons. The British with Royal Commandos Support absolutely one up their American brothers-in-arms. They think parachutes are stupid, so they do it with friggin' kamekazeing gliders instead, and holy hell is it a sight. Also, unlike the Americans, they can airdrop light tanks called Tetrarchs — they're no match for the heavy German juggernauts, but they're fast, punchy, and can wreak havoc in territory that your opponent thought was absolutely safe and totally throw his game off.

As there's no building close enough from which Oliver Queen can shoot a zipline attached to an arrow (his usual trick) he jumps from an aircraft using a steerable parachute. In "The Promise", Slade Wilson and Sara Lance get on board the villain's ship by tandem-jumping off a nearby cliff using a steerable parachute they found in a crashed airplane.

In Chapter 10 this is reversed, with Imperial troops and para-bombs being dropped down to the Centurion stuck in ice crevice. Interestingly enough, this trope is noted in-game to be done from lighter-than-air crafts like balloons and airships because heavier-than-air flight doesn't exist apart from Isara's prototype in the first game.

It's Raining Men / int_243f5fd3	comment	Sonic The Hedgehog seems to love doing this a lot after blowing up whatever space station Eggman is situated on, but usually, he'll be caught by Tails in the Tornado airplane. In Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic breaks out of a plane, tears off part of the wing, and falls out of the sky into a very San Francisco-ish city...and then slides down the hills using that wing piece. He had a less successful fall in Sonic Unleashed after being turned into a Werehog...and dropping out of space to plummet to Earth. Shadow does the exact same thing in Sonic Adventure 2, except people believed that it had killed him. Sonic does it (again) in Sonic and the Black Knight when he falls from the skies of Camelot after being summoned there by Merlina. And even before that, Shadow does it again on the opening level of Shadow the Hedgehog, when you fall from the sky, through a skyscraper, and then onto the streets.

They've dropped from the shuttle, though, not from the orbit, and used tethered countergravs, so it was actually very close to Real Life paradrop.

It's Raining Men / int_25d97c04	comment	There are several examples from the James Bond franchise. A similar scene to the Point Break example happens in Moonraker, where Bond catches up with the guy with the parachute and steals it. In the same scene, recurring villain Jaws manages one better, surviving the fall without a parachute. Another Bond film, The World Is Not Enough, has it rain snowmobile paragliders (aka parahawks). Another Bond example in The Spy Who Loved Me, where James Bond skis off the edge of a cliff to avoid Soviet troops and pops a parachute with the British flag on it. Tomorrow Never Dies features a HALO jump, officially the most badass aerial insertion method to be used in Real Life. Thunderball features an airborne turned SCUBA assault, as the US Coast Guard drops divers into the water to attack Largo's men. Both sides are armed with spear guns.

It's Raining Men / int_2ae406c1	comment	In Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, units with the Drop Pods special ability can do airdrops within a certain radius of any base or airbase. Or "Orbital Insertions" anywhere on Planet, once you have a specific technology or have built the Space Elevator. A good strategy against the AI (which inevitably neglects its air defenses) is to run an air-based blitzkrieg, using well-armed 'copter units to clear bases of defenders and then drop high-armor paratroops in to capture and defend your conquest. You do need to be either geographically close to the faction you're fighting for this to work, or at least capture a base or two to serve as a beachhead (or, after you research Nanometallurgy, use carriers); not only is there a limited range for Drop Pods, the 'copters need to refuel every turn or else suffer damage.

There isn't a 5% chance that the door will be stuck, causing the replacement clone to suffocate before they can get out, and there certainly isn't a 10% chance that the missile will hit one of the other Troubleshooters. In the adventure Vapors Don't Shoot Back the Troubleshooters got to make a parachute jump. Pity they weren't given adequate instructions on how to actually use their parachutes, which results in an approximately 2/3 chance of being killed.

It's Raining Men / int_39e27464	comment	SAS: Rogue Heroes In the first episode David Stirling and Jock Lewes attempt a parachute drop in the desert, despite the fact that no-one has been crazy enough to try it before. The pilot's view of their sanity is not helped by the fact that neither man has ever parachuted from an aircraft, the parachutes and plane have been stolen, plus the latter hasn't been outfitted for parachute drops so there's nothing to attach the parachute's static line to so they have to tie them around the seats. As a result Stirling's parachute snags and tears on the plane, causing a hard landing. The episode ends with him lying on the desert sand saying I Can't Feel My Legs! Their first mission goes even worse when Stirling insists on dropping in the middle of a sandstorm causing the death of almost half his unit. After that he decides to drop the parachute idea altogether and have the Long Range Desert Group transport them to their targets.

It's Raining Men / int_47dfc6f	comment	Total Drama: In the opening credits for Season 3 (Total Drama World Tour), the contestants form a human pyramid on the plane's fuselage, only to fall when the pilot (Chef Hatchet) shakes them off. The contestants have parachutes, so they land safely ... except for Ezekiel. Also in Season 3, one of the plane's doors blows out (with an assist from Chef) in the Japan episode, and the contestants are blown out. They plummet to earth without parachutes, singing all the way down, but land safely in a giant bowl of rice. In Season 5.1 (Total Drama All-Stars), the contestants arrive on the island via jumping or being thrown out of the plane. They have no parachutes but land safely in water. In Season 5.2 (Total Drama Pahkitew Island), the contestant must jump out of the plane to get to the island. All have parachute packs, but only half of those contain actual parachutes, which is the season's team selection method. With or without parachutes, the contestants land safely in water.

It's Raining Men / int_49aa2aa4	comment	Ace Combat series: Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War has a mission in which you protect dropping paratroopers and their transports from being shot by enemy gun placements. The whole game is a re-envisioning of World War II in the Ace Combat world, so the comparison is apt. Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War has a mission with parachuting tanks. Supposedly, you can destroy them by shooting the parachutes off at high altitude, but it's easier to just let them land and shoot them to pieces with your guns. The last mission of the game also has friendly paratroopers taking objectives on the ground. It also put a Shout-Out to the US 101st Airborne (before a typo made it the 122nd).

It's Raining Men / int_755b343f	comment	Halo: The ODSTs (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) use SOEIVs (Single-Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicles; also called HEVs or Human Entry Vehicles), despite the fact that the drag chutes and braking rockets sometimes malfunction... or the pod hits the water and they drown... or they smash into cliff faces... This makes them the second most hardcore soldiers on the human side, next to the Spartans. Don't mention that last part to their face. The opening cutscene of Halo 3: ODST gives the player a first-person view of an orbital drop. The ODSTs of the 105th Shock Troops Division are even known as "Helljumpers", due to the fact that as the SOEIV's protective ceramic skin burns away during atmospheric re-entry, the interior of the pod becomes really hot. The Master Chief is notorious for pulling this kind of stunt (it helps that his armor has Inertial Dampening and can "lock down" during a fall), something Sergeant Johnson lampshades at the beginning of Halo 3: The Covenant are also fond of this tactic, both the orbital and suborbital varieties: Elites have their own version of an HEV pod, as first seen in Halo 2. Additionally, the Covenant have multi-occupant drop pods, the biggest of which can contain entire squads. Even Covenant dropships frequently rain down their troops from above when they don't have a proper space to land on. The opening scene to Halo 5: Guardians shows Fireteam Osiris deploying to a planet from a low orbit using their MJOLNIR armor's thrusters to slow down their fall just before making contact with the ground. All in the middle of a pitched MÃªlÃ©e Ã Trois between the UNSC, the Covenant Remnant, and the Prometheans.

It's Raining Men / int_77378b06	comment	Section 8 is an FPS which utilizes this constantly — your character will 'burn in' instead of respawning, which means they get shot out fast enough to hit the ground in ten seconds from a dropship at 15000 feet, allowing you to drop anywhere on the game map. Naturally, there is the possibility of enemy interference while burning in (from AA guns). There are also no parachutes, though you may brake and slow your descent anyway. If you don't, you won't have control over your Player Character, so they'll just go straight downward from the chosen burn-in point until they hit the ground, and take an extra second to ready themselves from hitting the ground at 500 feet a second by hitting the ground on impact with both hands and getting up. They wear particularly cool Powered Armor, if you were wondering how one could survive that (Ok, Variable Terminal Velocity still sounds like it's in effect). Since multiplayer involves Section 8 fighting the virtually identical Arc soldiers, their power armor can do all the same stuff.

Those units also require soldiers to have completed Airborne School for some reason. US Navy SWCC's are boat operators who are required to go to Airborne School. One of the requirements for US Army parachute riggers (the guys who pack parachutes) is that they not only go to Airborne School but regularly jump with a parachute that they packed (giving some motivation to pack properly, one supposes). The Air Force even has special operations weather forecasters who do this.

It's Raining Men / int_92dd35df	comment	One of the special powers gained from the Airfield in Command & Conquer: Red Alert and sequels is "Paratroopers", which drops a bunch of infantrymen at the designated spot. Not particularly useful most of the time, but it allows for some interesting possibilities in the right tactical environments, not to mention the fact that you're getting around a dozen soldiers for free every couple of minutes. When you can garrison these guys inside a structure and expect them to take down even an Apocalypse Tank in a straight fight as a result, that becomes extremely useful on urbanized maps. This was intensely more useful for the Allies in Red Alert 2, as the Allied GI was significantly better than their counterparts, the Soviet Conscripts, and a half dozen of them could put up a significant fight, especially when deployed in defensive positions. The USA subfaction also had an additional paratrooper ability, Airborne, gained by building an Airforce Command (rather than having to capture an Airfield), which gave the player eight GIs (instead of the Airfield's six). Since the perks were cumulative, a USA player holding both an Airforce Command and an Airfield could therefore conceivably drop fourteen GIs (pretty formidable), anywhere on the map, for free, every few minutes. This makes it possible to build up a formidable force of basic infantry without using your Barracks, which could then be devoted to producing other, more specialized infantry. In Tiberian Sun, there's also the elite Orbital Drop Soldiers—veteran soldiers who arrive in drop-pods equipped with machine guns, clearing the drop-zone the hard way. More like hailing men, really. A cutscene shows them being deployed from the Philadelphia Space Station. Tiberium Wars allows for the rapid orbital deployment of Zone Troopers, which gets you three squads of Troopers anywhere on the map for only a few thousand credits, actually saving you a bit of cash and putting a dozen railguns into a position where they can inflict a lot of agony. Generals: The game gives this ability to the USA faction, allowing them to deploy up to 24 Rangers via paradrop. The transport helicopter lets them drop infantry into garrisoned buildings via Fast-Roping to clear them out. In the Zero Hour Expansion Pack, this is also available to the Chinese Infantry General. The Chinese Tank General does it with tanks. The GLA does have a make-infantry-appear ability, but it doesn't involve planes. Red Alert 3: The Allies have the Century Bomber, which can load a group of infantry and then drop them at a selected location; the Soviets have the Bullfrog, which launches infantry (or bears) via a machine called the "man-cannon". While the latter can be used to circumvent defenses, it should not be used anywhere remotely near Anti-Air. The Allied campaign also features the paradrop power on some maps, but it's removed in skirmish games. The Soviets use Badger Bombers to deliver toxic gas, one-hit-kill bombs, or to drop troops in cutscenes. Most notably in the first Soviet campaign, which features an absolutely massive infantry paradrop over the Imperial palace grounds... of which the only survivors are a conscript and a war bear.

It's Raining Men / int_bd447006	comment	In the Dr. Watson At War series by Robert Ryan, for plot-related reasons Watson has to parachute out of a Gotha bomber sent to bomb England. Watson already hates flying and the thought of using what at the time was a highly dangerous technique (he's told the fatality rate is one in three, through that's from aircraft that are already spinning out of control or in flames) doesn't make him feel any better. As the bomber crew are also at risk from Allied aircraft and anti-aircraft guns the lower they fly, Watson ends up playing chess with the pilot with the stakes being what height he'll bail out from—Watson wins, he bails out from a thousand feet where the Gotha will be a sitting duck. Watson loses, he bails out from three thousand feet where the Gotha can easily regain cloud cover but Watson will be falling for a long time.

It's Raining Men / int_c8c98633	comment	This was intensely more useful for the Allies in Red Alert 2, as the Allied GI was significantly better than their counterparts, the Soviet Conscripts, and a half dozen of them could put up a significant fight, especially when deployed in defensive positions. The USA subfaction also had an additional paratrooper ability, Airborne, gained by building an Airforce Command (rather than having to capture an Airfield), which gave the player eight GIs (instead of the Airfield's six). Since the perks were cumulative, a USA player holding both an Airforce Command and an Airfield could therefore conceivably drop fourteen GIs (pretty formidable), anywhere on the map, for free, every few minutes. This makes it possible to build up a formidable force of basic infantry without using your Barracks, which could then be devoted to producing other, more specialized infantry.

While the latter can be used to circumvent defenses, it should not be used anywhere remotely near Anti-Air. The Allied campaign also features the paradrop power on some maps, but it's removed in skirmish games. The Soviets use Badger Bombers to deliver toxic gas, one-hit-kill bombs, or to drop troops in cutscenes. Most notably in the first Soviet campaign, which features an absolutely massive infantry paradrop over the Imperial palace grounds... of which the only survivors are a conscript and a war bear.

Coupled with Moment of Awesome because he shoots at a mechaniloid (a non-sentient robot, basically mooks in gameplay) while in mid-air, and it hits.

It's Raining Men / int_db30cf92	comment	In the Warrior Cats series, one battle tactic that SkyClan developed and later ThunderClan used involves the attackers hiding in trees above the battlefield, and then dropping down all at once onto the enemy. This often works, seeing as it has quite the element of surprise, and of course it can't feel nice to have someone land on you from many times above your head height, but if the opponent is expecting it and dodges, this can result in nasty injuries for the falling cats.

In fact, Stork pilots are considered mercenaries of their own alongside more traditional AC pilot mercs, and are usually called Storkers.

It's Raining Men / int_e6c59cc4	comment	The initial wave of the human invasion of Stroggos in Quake II was to basically fire an entire army down onto the surface in individual drop pods. It (mostly) failed. It seems the main causes of death in the Quake games are drop pod issues, Marine stupidity, and enemy fire. In that order. In Quake IV, the Marines seemed to have wised up and use Drop Ships instead, which still get blasted apart like flies. Then, towards the Very Definitely Final Dungeon, they break out the pods again. The results aren't much better than they were in the first game, either.

It's Raining Men / int_f26c58d6	comment	In World in Conflict, it rains men when you order paratroopers through the tactical aid menu. Other infantry are delivered by helicopters, but unlike in Real Life, it also rains heavy tanks and artillery—they are always delivered by paradrop. Also, there is a prop in the map editor (used on some official urban maps) that allows you to literally rain men on some area, preferably, off map, since they don't affect the gameplay at all. The trailers for the game put a special emphasis on this trope, with one showing U.S. forces getting into position for battle in a nighttime suburb as Soviet paratroopers drop down in front of them. Another shows said Soviet paratroopers jumping out of a plane revealing massive anti-aircraft fire, with raining planes to go along with those raining men. The trailer for Soviet Assault has the Soviets pull this with a main battle tank, dropping it into a car dealership to back up some outnumbered soldiers. Complete with its red parachute landing on the skylight, tinting everything red, and Polyushka Polye kicking back in. Also, let's not forget that in the first mission featuring the invasion of Seattle, it's raining men everywhere in the background. And the intro for the next mission shows a little girl getting off her bike watching the Soviets drop down from the sky while a panicked man who calls into a local radio show can be heard screaming in the background "They're here! They're coming from the skies man! ... Look up in the skies man we're being invaded!" Seriously, how could you not notice that?

Medal of Honor: Airborne has largely the same focus, and also allows for the player to choose where they land. One of the expansions for Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Spearhead, has the first few levels centered around American and British Paratroopers during the initial hours of the D-Day invasion. This is in fact what the series protagonist Jimmy Patterson was recruited from before the start of the first game, as he was the pilot of C-47 (the plane the American paratroopers typically jumped out of).
