| Off Bridge, onto Vehicle | comment |
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, Soft Water or any number of other possibilities), and take a well-timed leap, landing safely on the back of it and escaping. A very frequent type of stunt in action movies, it is sometimes subverted humorously by having the character Face Plant painfully on the ground beneath the bridge, or dramatically by having him or her only pretend to take such a leap or otherwise mislead pursuers into thinking he or she has done so (by, for example, throwing a cell phone or other piece of trackable electronic equipment onto the back of a passing vehicle). It's just as often played straight, however. Can (but doesn't have to) involve a No Escape but Down. Variations: Can involve a jump from any high place, including buildings, cliffs, etc. Can involve falling off a high place instead of jumping. Can be carried away by something other than a vehicle (e.g. a river). Vehicle-Roof Body Disposal, when it's a corpse rather than a live person. |

Comical variation in Change 123: When one of the heroine's 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. | |

Cowboy Bebop: Subverted in "Stray Dog Strut". Spike and Hakim both jump after Ein when the dog jumps off a bridge onto the canvas covering of a boat passing underneath it, but Ein turns around and jumps into Spike, so that the two of them fall into the canal while Hakim lands on the boat, tearing through the canvas covering and falling into a tank filled with live crabs. Played straight in "Boogie Woogie Feng Shui". Jet and Maifa jump off the top of a stone wall and land on a passing bus to avoid the two pursuing gunmen. |

Max Payne: It doesn't involve a literal bridge, but Vinnie Gognitti tries to escape from Max by jumping off the roof of a building onto a passing subway train. Unfortunately for him, there's a second train only a couple of minutes behind, and if he was hoping Max wasn't crazy enough to try the same stunt he gets an unpleasant surprise soon after. | |

The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones: In #5, Indy and his female companion are dangling off London Bridge by Indy's bullwhip, when Nazi agents arrive. They point guns at Indy and demand he hand over the MacGuffin. Indy says that his options are to agree or to loosen the whip and drop to almost certain death in the river. Then, to the Nazis' astonishment, he does just that. However, instead of hitting the water, he and his companion land on a garbage scow that is passing underneath. | |

In the scene that introduces him in Men in Black, James chases down a perp (actually an alien in disguise) who jumps off the elevated Park Avenue Viaduct onto 42nd Street, at least a 15-foot (4.5-meter) drop onto hard asphalt below without so much as a tweaked ankle. Instead of just watching the perp get away, James jumps down after said perp by waiting for a double-decker open-top tour bus full of Japanese Tourists to pass underneath the bridge before jumping on it and getting down that way to continue the chase. | |

One idiot on World's Dumbest... attempts a stunt where he BASE-jumps from a bridge into a raft being pulled by a motorboat. He misses the raft and splashes into the river. (The commentators point out that he parachuted in the direction opposite to the boat, so even if he'd hit the raft, he wouldn't have stayed in. Had he gone in the same direction as the boat, he might've succeeded.) | |

The Matrix Reloaded. 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. | |

Bolt. Bolt jumps onto a train from a bridge, with reluctant prisoner Mittens and delusional fanboy Rhino in tow. Rhino reassures Mittens that he does it all the time in the "magic box", which is how she realizes that Bolt's just an actor in a TV show. | |

Jason Bourne jumps from a bridge onto a barge in The Bourne Supremacy during the foot chase in Berlin. This gets his leg injured, as he has a limp for the remainder of the film and the first scene of The Bourne Ultimatum as a result, though he still manages to escape from his pursuers. The barge is slow and the cops quickly call it to stop, so Bourne just sneaks out by climbing underneath the bridge. | |

The Fugitive (1993). In order to escape Deputy U.S. Marshal Gerard, Doctor Kimble does a Peter Pan off the side of a dam into the river below and is swept away by the current. He does it in the 2000 TV series remake as well. |
